No! Okay. Just. Don't think like that. It does a disservice to his death there and his life here. Okay?! He wouldn't have wanted it the other way round, and you bloody well know it. "If I..." "What if..." They'll drive you mad. Because if I hadn't let myself be ushered out with the rest of Slytherin, I might have been there, too. If I hadn't decided to stay in the castle and look for younger years, I might have been at your sides instead of putting myself directly in the path of my older brother. If I had been there, with him and you, two lives might have been spared. If and might, Susan. What good are they?
Don't be sorry for me. Hate me. It's easier to handle. What sort of friend was I that I probably didn't even learn about it until years later? I fucking run away. I kidnap my younger brother, obliviate my family, and get the fuck out without looking back. I assume Jas would still be there.
