“I shall attend to the boy in person. There have been too many mistakes where Harry Potter is concerned. Some of them have been my own. That Potter lives is due more to my errors than to his triumphs.”
HP & the Deathly Hallows, Chapter One

chance, those wreckers of all but the best-laid plans. But I know better
now. I understand those things that I did not understand before.
I must be the one to kill Harry Potter, and I shall be.
