Alec: "Don't you think I can help it?" he shouted. He sighed. "Why can't all this pain just go away? I feel like deep down inside I always knew, you know. Why this wretched dark mark I've been hiding for so long used to hurt me, like Dad. Igor Karkaroff was a death eater, my father was a death eater and he was a coward, worse than what I've been ridden off as a son and as a brother to my sister. Florentina was a horrible parent, and I know she knew this and still knows this, which is why she left Eris in my care and all this ring-around-the-rosie with her problems is starting to make me crack! I'm starting to crack! And one of the worst feelings in the world, that horrible feeling. You've failed them, and you feel responsible for sending them off to their deaths. She's dead! And gone! Georgie, I don't know how different things would have been if I hadn't taken matters into my own hands! Besides, the universe doesn't even let you know what might have happened until you start thinking about the worst what if scenarios in the history of what if scenarios!!!"
