| warded to the resistance members - does not include his wife or children | I make no apologies for what's been done, nor can I offer answers for things done as I do not have them. We all worked hard to try and bring about social change but standing around doing it peacefully will never work. We are at a turning point. What was done to the Parkinson family and Rosier Family was not about the resistance. Those were idiotic decisions made by a few that ruined things for the rest. Those actions and choices were personal rather than to serve the greater good. I do not know who attacked the Rosier family's home but I will say this, we are not here to destroy innocent people's lives and you could have.
For that reason, I will be helping a different faction make social change. For those that support Dumbledore, I hope that you are successful. I hope that things change for the better. I want nothing more than for people to be not only free to express their discontent with the way things are but equal under the law and within the social order.
For those that are taking the darker road, I truly hope that you do not hurt anyone else. The innocent always suffer when politics and justice collide.
| private to his family | My decisions were my own. Don't blame Sirius or Dax for them. I know you're angry with me and you have every right to be. Unfortunately, I can't turn back time and make a different decision, perhaps if I could I might. Ultimately we are where we are and I can't undo that fact now. The only thing I can do now is keeping you safe by staying away.
