"No," he said, his frustration clear on his face, "You don't get to do that. I'm sorry your family can't send you to school, and I'm sorry you don't get to be prefect, but you don't get to talk to me like that." Trying to put all of that on him, as if he should have to carry all of her burdens because she didn't get what she wanted.
"I slacked, and I cared about quidditch more than my grades sometimes, but I can't help who I am or where I came from. I didn't tell you healing was stupid because I thought healing was a stupid career for you, but because it was easier to write it off than accept that I couldn't do it."

You could earn them, too, and with a bit of luck get someone to pay for your supplies, but you're too deep in your self-pity to even consider accepting help!"
