Scarlet Spades

An agathokakological being

Flip a spade, it becomes a heart,
Flip a heart and it bleeds...
My ink is blood, my thoughts the quill,
What I bleed, you read...

The twins made one mistake, and Hermione paid for it in stone.

Fred and George thought they were helping Hermione sneak through Hogwarts. They didn’t realise they were helping her walk straight into the basilisk’s path.

#Monday is such a vibe.
Some people hate it, some love it.
She was one of the few who made me fall in love with it.

Tell me, am I right or wrong?

Is it fair to call someone selfish if all they are looking for is self-preservation?
I decided to coin the Bizzaro Syndrome based on this:
