For The Greater Good
"These challenges we face, these sacrifices we make, all these deaths, it is all for the good of all. The price of a better world is high, but it is our duty to our loved ones to pay as much of it as we can."

"Harry, you can't keep allowing this, you have to report it!"
"'Mione is right mate, you come back looking twice as bloodied up each night!"
"I'm fine, I can put up with it for a while longer. Dumbledore has enough going on right now."
"Yes Harry, but what about you?"
"It's fine Hermione, it's for the greater good."
She furrowed her brow. Everything seemed to be.
A/N: Yeah.
