"You've got to stop, Al. You have got to stop seeking these stupid Hallows, whatever they are!"
"Aberforth... you're too young to..."
"Don't you play the age card with me! Don't you care about Ariana? What will happen to her when you go--"
"You don't understand anything. You're deluded. Your brother and I are working for something that will change the wizarding world forever, and you are no one to stop us."
"I cannot stop you, but I can stop my brother from abandoning my sister!"
"NO ONE IS ABANDONING ARIANA, YOU FOOL! WE'RE CREATING A BETTER WORLD SO THAT ARIANA WILL NOT HAVE TO STAY HIDDEN ANYMORE!"
"So that she's no longer his responsibility, I suppose. A better world! Huh!"
"How dare you? Crucio!"
"Gellert!"
"Albus--get out of the way!"
"No, don't! Don't hurt them, Gellert, please don't hurt them!"
"Crucio!"
"Don't hurt them, don't hurt them, please, please, it's my fault, hurt me instead..."
