Not you, maybe. It’s what I picture.
Dramione Drabble » Draco watches as Hermione is tortured
“Put the boys in the cellar!” Bellatrix commanded. Narcissa and Wormtail pulled Harry and Ron away from Hermione. “I want to have a little conversation with this one…” Bellatrix scowled viciously at Hermione, who tried to look bravely back at her. “…girl-to-girl!”
Bellatrix inched closer. So close, Draco bet, that Hermione could smell the blood on her breath.
Draco heard Hermione let out a small whimper as Harry and Ron were led out of sight. Bellatrix smiled at this sign of weakness and pushed her onto the floor, climbing on top of her and pointing her wand to the small witch’s throat.
“Now, little Mudblood. I’m going to give you a chance to answer me honestly. If you do, I’ll give you mercy and kill you quickly. If not…,” Bellatrix laughed darkly.
Hermione turned her head away, in Draco’s direction. Her eyes were shut, but Draco could see the fear in her expression.
“That sword was in my vault at Gringotts,” said Bellatrix accusingly into Hermione’s ear. “How did you get it?”
“I-I don’t know.” Hermione replied, her voice shaking.
“LIAR!” Bellatrix bellowed.
“I am n-not lying!”
“I don’t believe you!” Bellatrix sat up, straddling Hermione. She eyed her body viciously, thinking of what to do to get her to tell the truth. Bellatrix shoved her wand at Hermione’s neck, “I’ll give you one more shot. How…did…you…get…my…SWORD!”
“W-we just found it. I swear to you!” She opened her eyes wide in fear, staring directly at Draco. Her soft, honey eyes were screaming for help.
Bellatrix’s eyes, in contrast to Hermione’s, glinted red. “Have it your way then…CRUCIO!”
Draco watched as Hermione twisted and contorted in pain beneath his aunt.
“Stop,” Draco commanded. His voice echoed inside the dark halls of his manor, covering the shrill screams of the tortured witch.
Lucius Malfoy quickly grabbed his son, pulling him closer and away from the scene.
“Draco, dear, not now,” Bellatrix dismissed him, “Wait your turn.”
“Don’t you DARE mess this up,” Draco’s father growled into his ear. “The Dark Lord will have all of us writhing under the Crucatius curse, just like her!”
Lucius pointed viciously to the wilted girl on the floor. “Do you want that? Do you want that for your MOTHER?”
“Lucius, please!” Narcissa pleaded, pulling her husband away from her son. She turned to her son. “Draco, please…”
Draco was torn. How could he choose between the love of his life and his family? Could he choose?
He looked into Hermione’s eyes. They were dark and full of tears that threatened to escape. They were nothing like they were during Hogwarts, amber and full of light. Now they were dead and showed no trace of the confident girl she once was.
His mother tapped him lightly on the shoulder. “Come on, Draco,” she whispered softly.

Canada’s teen birth and abortion rate drops by 36.9 per cent
Better access to contraception, higher quality sex education and shifting social norms have contributed to a 36.9 per cent decline in Canada’s teen birth and abortion rate between 1996 and 2006, according to a report released today by the Sex Information and Education Council of Canada.
America’s emphasis on abstinence-only sex ed “tends to result in a higher percentage of teens becoming pregnant,” as does the country’s lack of universal health care. Poverty is another factor.
Among the four countries compared for 2006, Canada boasted the lowest teen birth and abortion rate per 1,000 women aged 15 to 19 (27.9), followed by Sweden (31.4), England/Wales (60.3), and the United States (61.2).
THIRTY-SEVEN PERCENT DECREASE? Goddamn. How much more proof will people need before they realize how ineffective Abstinence-Only sex education is?
It doesn’t matter how much evidence we have. Zealots will cling to their beliefs.

Hey, it’s Yoona! Awesome, this is my server!
Whoever reads the Roommate Matching Forms is going to think I’m such a loser, really.
wow you are me
I was unnecessarily very nervous about that step, and for the first day or so sat contemptibly in front of it,
Nadia is my chonga delight.
So in one week we’ve got three cannibal cases in Florida, a man spitting blood all over a highway patrol officer, another man disemboweling himself and then throwing his intestines at two police officers, and a woman beheading her infant and eating it’s brain…….
PARTY HARD IN FL
Wait, so how do the other states prepare for the RNC?
THIS MEANS MORE TO ME THAN ANYONE COULD POSSIBLY KNOW. STAR TREK FOR LIFE. CAPTAIN PIKE 5 LIFE.

An innovative initiative is taking place in the Philippines to bring sustainable lighting to homes in impoverished communities. Empty plastic bottles are installed in the roof, filled with water and bleach they refract sunlight. These “solar light bulbs” provide light equivalent to a 55watt light bulb.

This is probably the coolest thing I’ve seen all day.
They came in armoured vehicles and there were some tanks. They shot five bullets through the door of our house. They said they wanted Aref and Shawki, my father and my brother. They then asked about my uncle, Abu Haidar. They also knew his name.
My mum yelled at them. She asked: ‘What do you want from my husband and son?’ A bald man with a beard shot her with a machine gun from the neck down. Then they killed my sister, Rasha, with the same gun. She was five years old. Then they shot my brother Nader in the head and in the back. I saw his soul leave his body in front of me.
They shot at me, but the bullet passed me and I wasn’t hit. I was shaking so much I thought they would notice me. I put blood on my face to make them think I’m dead.
EXTREMELY GRAPHIC Video: Syria Massacre (The Young Turks)
“A video uploaded to YouTube by Syrian activists purportedly shows the bloodied bodies of dozens of small children lying on a carpet floor following a massacre in Houla. On Friday, Syrian security forces reportedly assaulted the town in Homs province, killing at least 108 people including dozens of women and children…Witnesses attributed the killings to thugs loyal to the regime of Syrian president Bashar Assad…”.* The Young Turks host Cenk Uygur breaks it down.
*Read more here from The Huffington Post.I told you that I would never refrain from posting graphic content coming out of Syria in order to show the reality of the situation. Well, ladies and gentlemen, it does not get much worse than this.
I urge you to use extreme caution before viewing this video, which depicts dead, bloody children, some with holes blown in their bodies. However, it’s extremely important to get a sense of the reality of the situation. This is it.
I couldn’t get past the 30 second mark. This is the most horrific thing I’ve ever seen in my entire life.
How DO you react to something such as this?
