Amiable Dorsai:
Suppose you've got Sirius Black, Remus Lupin, and Albus Dumbledore
(once Remus gets him to believe) after you.  Suppose your Death Eater
"friends" will kill you on sight, if they discover you're still alive.
 Suppose that in not so many years, the son of the couple you
betrayed, and his best friends--the genius little witch, and the kid
who was brave enough to stand up on a broken leg to get between Harry
and a mass murderer--will be old enough to join the hunt.

Suppose that the *best* thing you could expect, once they catch up to
you, is a Dementor's Kiss.

Who you gonna call?
