Harry constantly repeated Dumbledore's final words to himself. I will only truly have left this school when none here are loyal to me. ... Help will always be given at Hogwarts to those who ask for it. But what good were these words?

I would love to read, but I just don’t have time,’ I’m thinking, ‘How can you not have time?’ I read when I’m drying my hair. I read in the bath. I read when I’m sitting in the bathroom. Pretty much anywhere I can do the job one-handed, I read.
