After they came up for air, Harry said, quietly; "Hermione, you should know by now that my family and I consider rules to be more like suggestions, and not meant to get in the way of getting things done. If I had been following the "rules" we would not have the potions instructor that we have, Sirius would still be rotting in prison, and, if you were following the "rules" would you have taunted Malfuck the way you did? You and I both have the same goal, to change Wizarding Society to be more equal, following the "rules" won't get us there!" Then he paused and chuckled, "Besides, I'm fairly certain that our "study" sessions are against at least a couple of rules, and I'll be damned if I'm willing to give those up!"
