For Éomer in the Return of the King. The ending speech was inspired by Éomer's speech to the Rohirrim at the battle of Minas Tirith.
"Go to Azkaban, Potter," my love's cruel, cruel words ring in my ears. I hadn't even done anything to her, unless you count asking her to go out with me.
I turned to my fellow Marauders, Padfoot, Moony, and Wormtail by name. They all wore looks of feigned sympathy.
How could I convince them to help me? I couldn't think of a non-blunt way to say this. "I am going to win my Lilyflower through my magnificent talent in the art of seduction!"
My supposedly loyal friends dissolved into laughter. Why is this happening to me again? I tried to remain serious, though Padfoot would inform me that it was pointless, "My loyal Marauders, I calk upon your talents to help improve my already great skill in the art of seduction. You, Moony shall go to the library, Padfoot shall help me practice, and Wormtail will offer commentary! My Lilyflower will surely fall beneath my seductive seige! Now, my friends, let me set siege to the palace of her heart!"
