 Which came first, the phoenix or the flame?
Ash walked over to the left, because she thought Dumbledore was wrong. And because the left side was clearly better, and that's where she originally wanted to be. "I think it's wrong, because he made Harry think he was safe when he was really being raised to die. If he told him, Harry might have agreed. And if all else failed, someone else could kill Harry. He should have known what was going to happen, even if he didn't have a choice." If someone says they are going to kill you and then does it, that's not betrayal. If they pretend to love you and then kill you, that is betrayal. Her father had never betrayed her. He wouldn't save her, but he never said he would. Fake Trent had betrayed her. She took out two markers. She drew one red stripe around her wrist. Red. For blood, and anger, and bravery, and fire, and phoenixes. And then a blue one. Blue, for blood that didn't have oxygen, and water, and self-preservation, and Ravenclaws, and staying calm. She did a couple, and then she realized she was technically supposed to be LeARniNG. So she crossed her arms and frowned at the professor. That's what learning looked like. "It doesn't matter though, does it? What I think? It's not like he would care. Or anyone else would care."
