Draco: [to his therapist] What was the point? All those hours and all that money? What's the point? The world is a horrible place. Young people die of diseases and disaster. It makes absolutely no sense to try to be happy in a world that's such a horrible place.
Therapist: [to Draco] Yes.
Draco: What?
Therapist: Yes, horrible things do happen. Happiness in the face of all of that... that's not the goal. Feeling the horrible and knowing that you're not gonna die from those feelings, that's goal. And you're not done. You've made progress because you're feeling and you're telling me about it. Six months ago, it would've been just you and a bottle of Ogdens Finest. Remember, My door is always open.
[Draco is seeing his regular Head Healer(therapist)]
Healer: Hello Mr. Malfoy, how's it going?
Draco: Boy you really blew it this time.
Healer: Did I now? How so?
Draco:  [sighs] I've fallen in love with Hermione.
Healer:  [distracted] Oops... my bad...
Draco: Damn right, your bad. There were plenty of potions that would have turned me into a happy little potato but would you prescribe them no. You said I had to get in touch with my feelings & express them with the people I care about.
Healer: Sorry. I must have been drunk
