"I didn't expect it too Lisa," he glared at her then. "I knew you wouldn't get it because a lot of people didn't understand the DA's reasoning for returning. With no Harry, Hermione, or Ron what was the point? But someone pointed out to us that we owed it to the school to protect it. To go back and protect those within it. I don't blame you for running at all, nor do I blame you for wanting me to be with you. But I wouldn't of come with you Lisa. I couldn't," he finished quietly.
He wondered if he hadn't joined up with the DA would he have still returned to school? Well, he'd never know and that thought was just fine with him. He was fine with the choice he'd made. It was the right one for him.
"So happy to know you get it," he replied sarcastically. You and Mandy are also my priorities, but I couldn't do nothing. You have to understand that. I wanted to get into contact with you but it's been hard."
