Chapter 30 - The Sacking of Severus Snape “We can push it off on the kids,” said Amycus, his piglike face suddenly crafty. “Yeah, that’s what we’ll do. We’ll say Alecto was ambushed by the kids, them kids up there” — he looked up at the starry ceiling toward the dormitories — “and we’ll say they forced her to press her Mark, and that’s why he got a…

Chapter 24 - The Wandmaker “I want to do it properly,” were the first words of which Harry was fully conscious of speaking. “Not by magic.
