Geoff:
'When Harry told of Wormtail piercing his arm with the dagger, 
however, Sirius let out a vehement exclamation; and Dumbledore stood 
up so quickly that Harry started. Dumbledore walked around the desk 
and told Harry to stretch out his arm. Harry showed them both the 
place where his robes were torn and the cut beneath them.

"He said my blood would make him stronger than if he'd used someone 
else's," Harry told Dumbledore. "He said the protection my - my 
mother left in me - he'd have it too. And he was right - he could 
touch me without hurting himself, he touched my face."

For a fleeting instant, Harry thought he saw a gleam of something 
like triumph in Dumbledore's eyes. But next second, Harry was sure he 
had imagined it for when Dumbledore had returned to his seat behind 
the desk, he looked as old and weary as Harry had ever seen him.'
