Oh my god, everyone, have you read the Prophet? St Mungo's has been attacked again!

I'm so scared. These Death Eater attacks are getting worse.

[padma]

It's okay to be scared, Su.

[gregory_goyle]

It's wise to be scared.

[su_li]

Thank you, Padma. I—

I'm going to try to be braver like you and Gregory.

[padma]

We'll fight together, Su.

[justharry]

If we fear them, they win.

[gregory_goyle]

You're a fool.

[justharry]

I've fought them before. I know what they're capable of.

[malus_fides]

No, you don't.

[gregory_goyle]

You have no reason to be afraid.

But most of us don't have the luxury of being the chosen one, Harry Potter. Most of us are capable of dying because we are human. Your experience is useless to everyone but yourself.

[dean_thomas]

Being brave doesn't mean we can't be afraid.

[gregory_goyle]

This is exactly what I'm saying. Potter says we shouldn't fear at all. Which has nothing whatever to do with bravery.

[louis_thompson]

You're a bloody tosser, Potter. We're kids for Merlin's sake! It's perfectly reasonable for us to be scared.

[justharry]

We're not just kids! All of us, we're wizards, we can fight. If we took a stand against Voldemort, we would out-number him and his Death Eaters!

[louis_thompson]

Don't say his name!

You really are barmy. You're going to get the whole lot of us murdered.

[justharry]

WE SHOULD SAY HIS NAME.

People get so scared of Voldemort they turn him into a myth, and he's just a man. He can die. He will be defeated.

[louis_thompson]

Just remember, Potter, you're just a man, too. I think the rest you can figure out for yourself.

[justharry]

You're right, I am just another bloke, but we're on the right side. If people would just fight instead of hide, maybe the first war would've been it.

[vincent_crabbe]

Your arrogance might not kill you, but it might kill a lot of the people that look up to you.

[prof_sprout]

Boys, please remember to keep all disagreements civil.

[louis_thompson]

You arrogant prick. So typical of you to think that your bloody side is the right side. As I said before, you're going to get a whole bunch of people murdered, and I hope your conscience can't bear the weight of that knowledge.

[prof_sprout]

MISTER THOMPSON. That is quite enough. Ten points from Slytherin for your language. A Prefect should handle himself more thoughtfully.

[louis_thompson]

You're right, Professor. I'm terribly sorry.

[su_li]

I'm sorry, Harry. I just— What are we supposed to do?

[hj_granger]

It's fine to be frightened, Su Li. I'm terrified. But Dean and Gregory were just saying it--being brave and strong doesn't mean we can't feel fear. It means we do the right thing because somebody has to.

[su_li]

You're right, Hermione, and You-Know-Who-- He has to be stopped. Thank you.

[hj_granger]

We're going to win. It's going to be hard and it might take a long time, but we're going to win.
