Now I know you, Harry thought, waving his wand once, two, three and four, sliding his fingers to a precisely verified distance. I understood your nature. You symbolize death, according to some law of magic you are a shadow that death casts into the world.
And death is something I will never take.
It's just a childhood disease that the human race hasn't outgrown yet.
And one day...
We'll get over it...
And people will never have to say goodbye again...
He picked up the wand and pointed it precisely at the dementor.
- EXPECTO PATRONUM!

As thunder breaks out, your whole law becomes in vain. We will obey our husbands, and everything will be fine

If, in fact, commit the perfect crime, nobody will know about it. How then can you know exactly that there is no perfect crime?

- I would like to ask your advice, ' said Severus, in a normal tone. I know of another fifth-year from Slytherin who was hurt Gryffindors. He has made location maharajganj beautiful girl who one day saw his torment, and tried to save from bullies. He called her a Mudblood, and that was the end of their relationship. He apologized many times but she never forgave him. Do you think that he could say or do to deserve forgiveness, similar to what you gave Lestrange?
- Uh-uh - squeezed Harry, based only on this information, I don't think the problem was just him. I would advise him not to meet with someone so incapable of forgiveness. For example, they were married, can you imagine life in such a family?
There was a pause.
- But she was able to forgive, surprised Severus, or why later she became the girlfriend of the bully? Tell me why she forgave the bully and not the one who was offended?
Harry shrugged his shoulders.
- Offhand, because the bully hurt someone else, and although slightly offended, but hurt her. In General, for some reason, for her it was much less forgivable. However, is it worth it to dig too deeply? Was the bully handsome? Or rich?
There was another pause.
Yes on both counts, ' replied Snape.
- Well here is the answer, ' said Harry. - I never studied in high school, but my books say about the existence of a certain sort of young girls, who are enraged by the grievances received from the poor ugly lad, but who can find a place in your heart for the forgiveness of the rich and beautiful bully.

It is necessary to take the role of Savior of the plays, and people see you as a servant, which they have the right to dispose of, and one they can enjoy to criticize, for it is the privilege of gentlemen, to sit and give valuable suggestions, while the slaves are working.

John. K. Rowling, if you are someone annoying, think about blue, count to two and look for the red shoes.

If you were given a glass which is half empty and half full, then that is the reality, this is true and really is. But only you choose how to treat this, whether to despair over the empty half or rejoice that there is water.

The universe is not good and not evil, she just does not care.

"You bunch of crazies" - said Harry to the internal meeting, but all its component parts voted "Yes" so that it only remained to obey.

Draco suddenly desperately aware that although being a friend of Harry Potter is undoubtedly awful, but that is for Draco such a serious threat, something to be his enemy - even worse.
Probably.
Maybe.
Well, you become his enemy it's never too late...

Suddenly Neville opened his mouth and stepped back.
- I remember that voice! You're one of the Lords of Chaos! You gave me candy!
What? What?
Harry Potter stood up abruptly and turned toward the door:
- I? Never! Do I look like a villain that will give the child a piece of candy?

Most interesting is that he had to agree with his father. No one has ever seen any evidence of the reality of magic, and the mother indicated that there is a whole magical world. How can you keep a secret? Also with the help of magic? Rather suspicious explanation.
Case the idea is simple: mom or joking, or lying, or crazy, in ascending order of awfulness. If she sent the letter, it explains how it got in the mailbox with no postage. In the end, the craziness of much, much more likely than the universe that contains magic.
But still, some part of Harry was utterly convinced that magic is real. This feeling arose at the very moment when he saw a letter supposedly from Hogwarts, School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
Pulled a face and Harry rubbed his forehead. Do not trust your thoughts, it was written in one book.
But this strange belief... it's like He knew in advance that the Professor Hogwarts in fact, appears on their doorstep, will wave his wand and create magic. This conviction was not trying to protect themselves from refutation: not looking for excuses in advance in case if any Professor won't come, or will come, but will show only the trick with the spoon bending.
