Love and Marriage A Muggle photograph is a peculiar thing, Draco decides.
Determinedly not looking at the diamond ring glinting on the window sill, he looks instead at the strip of pictures in his hand, taken by a machine Hermione called a “photo booth.” Images that never change: a hug without end, a kiss that goes on forever. With his smallest finger, he touches her likeness. She's smiling in mid-kiss, not caring that he can't make a decision.
Duty or love? The past or tomorrow? He palms the ring, weighs it against the picture strip, and bows his head in the starlight.
