Too soon, it was time for the journey home on the Hogwarts Express.
❄ Christmas was coming. One morning in mid-December, Hogwarts woke to find itself covered in several feet of snow. ❄
I want you to listen to me very carefully, Harry. You’re not a bad person. You’re a very good person, who bad things have happened to. Besides, the world isn’t split into good people and Death Eaters. We’ve all got both light and dark inside us. What matters is the part we choose to act on. That’s who we really are.
The weather could not have been more different on the journey back to King’s Cross than it had been on their way to Hogwarts the previous September. There wasn’t a single cloud in the sky.
