"After three years of their tests they'd learned all they could from me. Peter came and finally told me the truth. Voldemort had me so tied in knots that I didn't know what had become of you. But Peter told me as he gloated all about faking his death and getting you locked up. I started losing my all too weak grasp on my powers. And he told me he was going to kill me. My power's been trying to kill me and take over my body since I was nine years old and it wasn't about to let him do me in. I just exploded. I slipped into one of my comas, got kicked by the evil version of you that lives in my head, and woke up next to his singed corpse. Without him there to guard me it was easy to leave. No one else knew where I was because I was too important to their cause. I apparated with his body to the ministry. You know the rest."

"You didn't kill him, Jimmy, your power did. That's not revenge. Don't feel guilty."

"I don't feel guilty. But it is revenge, you see, because I'm glad."
