March 21, 2015. 8220;Remember Cedric. Remember, if the time should come when you have to make a choice between what is right and what is easy. Remember what happened to a boy who was good, and kind, and brave, because he strayed across the path of Lord. Voldemort. Remember Cedric Diggory.” – Albus Dumbledore (aka J.K. Rowling).

Privilege Check | Honest Encounters
https://anhonestencounter.wordpress.com/2015/01/22/privilege-check
