Re: James and Bill
Bill snorted. "Your father hasn't told you nearly enough about him I hear," he said. "Yes I compare it because he would not hesitate to threaten to push potions down our throats if he thought we were slacking off or do it if he thought we needed it."
"I'm not saying he's right, he's definitely not, but it's who he is and you should have been prepared." He sighed, then shook his head. "Jamie, I understand all about principles, but what about when he has an experimental potion and needs to try it on one of you to see if it works? Who does he try it on? You or the others?"
"You told me you want to be the guinea pig, but if you don't it will have to be one of the others, so who? Allison, Dylan or Scorpius? And if it cures them, do you then refuse to take it and die because it was he who made it?" He looked carefully at Jamie.
"Understand that I'm not judging you or trying to take your choice away, but you need to think these things through, because whatever you decide will have consequences not only for you but for others as well."
