"When the Dark Lord gets confirmation that I'm still alive and even left voluntarily, despite being so essential to his insane endeavour, then he'll want to punish me," I sigh with feigned carefreeness. "Especially since I took shelter in your headquarters of all places instead of dragging you to him for the ritual. If he gets his hands on me, he'll kill me in the most horrendous way. I'm no use to him now anyway, after all loyalty looks a little different, doesn't it? And revenge, Potter, is one of his favorite pastimes when he's not busy."
