Prompt: 84) The weak are the most treacherous of us all. They come to the strong and drain them. They are bottomless. They are insatiable. They are always parched and always bitter. They are everyone's concern and like vampires they suck out life's blood.--Bette Davis.

Summary: If Lily Evans thought to split the world cleanly and simply into those who are weak and those who are strong she would count herself among the strong.
