"He ifailedi to kill you with my wand,"...

"He \ifailed\i to kill you with my wand," Dumbledore corrected Harry"I think we can agree that you are not dead - though, of course," he added, as if fearing he had been discourteous, "I do not minimize your sufferings, which I am sure were severe "I feel great at the moment, though," said Harry, looking down at his clean, unblemished hands"Where are we, exactly?" "Well, I was going to ask you that," said Dumbledore, looking around"Where would you say that we are?" Until Dumbledore had asked, Harry had not knownNow, however, he found that he had an answer ready to give "It looks," he said slowly, "like King's Cross stationExcept a lo cleaner and empty, and there are no trains as far as I can see "King's Cross station!" Dumbledore was chuckling tiffany co jewellery immoderately"Good gracious, really?" "Well, where do you think we are?" asked Harry, a little defensively "My dear boy, I have no ideaThis is, as they say, \iyour\i party Harry had no idea what this meant; Dumbledore was being infuriatingHe glared at him, then remembered a much more pressing question than that of their current location "The Deathly Hallows," he said, and he was glad to see that the words wiped the smile from Dumbledore's faceHe even looked a little worried "Well?"

"But they're real!" "Real, and dangerous, and a lure for fools," said Dumbledore"And I was such a foolBut you know, don't you? I have no secrets from you anymore "What do I know?"

"Of course you were," said Harry"Of course - how can you ask dior that? You never killed if you could avoid it!"
