His hand closed automatically around the fake Horcrux but in spite of everything, in spite of the dark and twisting path he saw stretching ahead for himself, in spite of the final meeting with Voldemort he knew must come whether in a month in a year or in ten, he felt his heart lift at the thought that there was still one last golden day of peace left to enjoy with Ron and Hermione.
J. K. RowlingHermione, will you please โโ โDonโt you tell me what to do, Harry Potter!โ she screeched. โDonโt you dare! Give it back now! And YOU!โ She was pointing at Ron in dire accusation: It was like a malediction, and Harry could not blame Ron for retreating several steps.
J. K. RowlingI pay a lot of tax, and I feel, one of the reasons I stay and pay why I'm not based in Monaco... I think my country helped me.

Ron looked down at his feet but Ginny seemed quite unabashed. โWell, you have!โ she said. โAnd you wonโt look at any of us!โ โItโs you lot who wonโt look at me!โ said Harry angrily. โMaybe youโre taking it in turns to look and keep missing each other,โ suggested Hermione, the corners of her mouth twitching.
