“I DON’T CARE!” Harry yelled at them, snatching up a lunascope and throwing it into the fireplace. “I’VE HAD ENOUGH, I’VE SEEN ENOUGH, I WANT OUT, I WANT IT TO END, I DON’T CARE ANYMORE!”
“You do care,” said Dumbledore. He had not flinched or made a single move to stop Harry demolishing his office. His expression was calm, almost detached. “You care so much you feel as though you will bleed to death with the pain of it.”
A point will be taken from Gryffindor House for your cheek, Potter. You – Potter – why didn’t you tell him not to add the quills? Thought he’d make you look good if he got it wrong, did you? That’s another point you’ve lost for Gryffindor.
Library books are not to be taken outside the school. Give it to me. Five points from Gryffindor.
Be that as it may, fighting is against Hogwarts rules, Hagrid, Five points from Gryffindor, Weasley, and be grateful it isn’t more. Move along, all of you.
