"Ooh," she said in a biting tone, one that she didn't even make an attempt to hide. Her eyes widened as she did and she rolled them right after. "You and a half score of thoroughly untrained wizards. Look, I understand, you keep people at arm's length because you much prefer to keep it that way. If people can't get close, you can't get invested, and then you can't get hurt. Plus it helps with your political aspirations if people think you're always in control. Maybe it comes from being the red-ish-black sheep of your family, maybe it comes from technically being a middle child. Or maybe the fact that you're afraid to be vulnerable with people because you've been taken advantage of. I may not have been acquainted with you long, but I can guarantee I know more about you than you know about me. And let's be honest, what do you know about me? My name is Daphne, I'm a seamstress, I'm afraid of clowns, my mother is a cow and I had a moment of weakness in which I came to you. I can admit when I need help. You can't.

"And just so we're clear, a good leader can admit when he needs help, they don't take everything on themselves. You want to be Minister? Start there. People will never stand behind a Minister they think is hiding something or can't admit things are beyond their control sometimes. Take Fudge, for example. A little honesty wouldn't have hurt him. Let's say, for argument's sake, that you become Minister. How are you going to handle it when nothing is in your control? You can't be Minister and be in control of every single thing. That's why you have a job right now. Because the person in charge can't do everything. So now I ask again, what did you dream about last night? Or are you going to deflect? Again."
