I couldn't rescue you from your fate. I tried. I didn't hesitate to give my life to protect yours. My only thought as Voldemort cut me down was that I would not have to see you die. You must believe, Harry- I died happy, happy to be able to give the gift of life to you not once, but twice.

I never thought I would have to watch you walk to your death through the dark forest. I never really believed you would have to die at Voldemort's hand. No one can dodge fate, but I always hoped you would somehow.
