"You dropped this," he said, totally poker-faced.”

"It's for some stupid noble reason isn't it?"
"It's been like...like something out of someone else's life these last few weeks with you. But I can't...we can't...I've got to do things alone now. Voldemort uses people his enemies are close to. He's already used you as bait once, and that was just because you were my best friend's sister. Think how much danger you'll be in if we keep this up. He'll know, he'll find out. He'll try and get me through you."

"I care. How do you think I'd feel if this was your funeral...and it was my fault...”

Hazel tried not to laugh. "What did he say?"
"With the cussing removed? He said he can get us to the top."

A cloak of leaves, a moonbeam ray
Forget your woes and let your troubles lay

Here your dreams are sweet and tomorrow brings them true
Here is the place where I love you.”
