“Look, I had five years of almost constant touring in Sideways, fans screaming every night that they loved me, opening the hotel curtains in the morning to see them all still out there with handmade banners with hearts all over them. But I woke up one morning and I just couldn’t do it anymore. I was exhausted, couldn’t sleep, was continually having panic attacks. Never saw my family. Didn’t have any friends apart from the other guys in the band. So I quit and sacked my management.”

He’s gone.”

“Remembered that I am not Dumbledore, who forgave your insolence and insubordination? You may wear that scar like a crown, Potter, but it is not up to a seventeen-year-old boy to tell me how to do my job! It’s time you learned some respect!” “It’s time you earned it,” said Harry.”

“Sirius had risked everything, always, to see Harry, to help him. . . . If Sirius was not reappearing out of that archway when Harry was yelling for him as though his life depended on it, the only possible explanation was that he could not come back. .”
