You were all fools for being against him. Now what’s going to happen to us? We’ll die off. He had the right idea, but would anyone actually listen?

My Master... he says that Dark Lord will be back. And when he does, I hope none of you expect forgiveness. What we’re- you’re becoming is sick. All a bunch of Muggle-sympathising idiots!

We are the future, not them. And if we don’t do something then they’ll end up being the end of us.

Oops, you caught me. I'm just a poor misguided little third year trying so very hard to be smart and analytical. I'm only trying to understand, don't you appreciate that?

Thank you for clarifying, though - I am surprised that your intentions are so entirely pedestrian. Still, I suppose they are simple but effective. Cause conflict, drive fear into people, etc. I appreciate that.

I'd like to ask you why you're so certain about His return, however. I've not seen anything to indicate it - unless you are privy to certain inside information?

I know he'll be back because he isn't actually dead. The lies that the Ministry are spouting are just that. Lies. The idea that a child could kill the strongest wizard on this planet is ridiculous, and is just an attempt to make a fool out of him.

If someone claimed Dumbledore,/i> had been killed by a child, would you believe that?

Perhaps not, though if presented with logical evidence that Dumbledore was dead, I might believe it. Whether I believe in the method claimed by the media is a secondary part of the equation. Questions would need to be answered, but I would likely still harbour some doubt of his continued existence if he abandoned this school in such a sudden way; especially in a time of need.

Essentially, given his sudden disappearance and lack of communication, have you no niggling doubt behind it all that he may have either abandoned you or been killed? Perhaps the Ministry is hiding a secret weapon and attempting to pass it off as a child. After all, I don't quite understand what the Dark Lord intends to achieve by hiding so thoroughly from his own followers and the rest of the world at this point in time, given his power even at the time of the incident. If you have heard from him, it would explain your steadfast loyalty, but otherwise, how has he been silenced? Would that have been the fault of a child? I find it just as implausible.
