I Solemnly Swear That I Am Up To No Good

Hermione, what you said about Harry, does he REALLY act like he think muggleborns aren't any less than purebloods or is it just that he isn't completely beastly to you the way some people are?

Do you think he's afraid of his father? I think Hydra's afraid of her mother. Everyone thinks Harry is special and protected but maybe he isn't, really, as much as everyone assumes. He said once that his father had always said that if Harry ever did something really terrible he'd give Draco to Carrow. Now if his father wanted to punish him but not quite that much he's got all kinds of friends to choose from, including you lots of people at school.

Well anyway.

I hope they don't do anything dreadful to Dennis. Even though I don't much like him.

It's about what you do, y'know? And you're doing a lot to show what you really think or maybe what you hope we can all work out someday to make it change. I mean, that's sort of what we're doing, right?

But then there are people who

Oh, it doesn't matter anyway.

I don't know why I care.

I'd like to think we're working toward making things so that what we think and say matches up with what we do.

Yeah, exactly.
