You believe you have the power to disrupt my plans, and to doom me to forever assume the name of my filthy Muggle father?

Foolish girl. I am giving you one chance to step aside.

[A beat.]

Don't expect me to be so merciful again.

[Tom, on the other hand, finds this rather amusing. And doesn't realize what connections his little statement has made]

How noble of you.

[undoubtedly]

Threatening them only seems to make them more likely to do the opposite of what you'd like.

She seems fairly insistent. I thought it more efficient to skip other forms of persuasion.

[heir_of_gryffindor]

Yeah, they have that power. Get used to it.
