So I won't be making it to the festival, guys. Miss Carter wasn't too pleased with me when I came home from our last Diagon Alley trip, and I'm still pretty badly bruised. I can't really blame her for not wanting me to leave the home.

Just try not to blow anything up, okay?

Rogers.
My brothers came back from Diagon Alley today with blood on their shirts, laughing about some "weedy little blond twerp" they'd beaten up.

You wouldn't happen to know anything about that, would you?

Are you TOUCHED IN THE HEAD? What were you THINKING?

Well, I was thinking that your brothers hit pretty hard.

Yes they Is there a particular reason that you got into your head that facing them down would be a good idea?!

They're easily three times your size! Were you hoping to achieve something?

If you mentioned my name I am in for it and I swear to god Steve

You're certifiable, do you know that?

They were bullying some poor kid. I couldn't let them do that.

I've been told that quite a bit.

While I'm sure that 'poor kid' will be eternally grateful that you stepped in to save the day, you're bloody lucky that William graduated last year.

There's a fine line between being a hero and just being a reckless idiot.

Because you believe he'd hunt me down?

I wasn't trying to be a hero. I was just trying to help some kid out.

Believe? I know he'd hunt you down and he wouldn't give a bloody toss how much trouble he got into for it.

You should just hope they didn't find that kid to finish what they started once they were done with you.

Do you really think I didn't weigh the risks? I'm not as stupid as you think I am.

Somebody needed to stand up for them and cause a distraction.
