Harry Potter and the Silvertongue's Aid: Chapter 5
Quote: Lyra spends some time bonding with Harry as she grapples with the guilt of lying to him about her ability to stay in his world, as well as her own confusing feelings as to why she'd even done it in the first place. Old memories and old feelings keep cropping up for Lyra and something about Harry seems to be inspiring it in her. Meanwhile, she takes up Bill's advice to check out Ollivander's wand shop and makes a world-upending discovery...
“We can never undo what we have done. We can never go back in time. We write history with our decisions and our actions. But we also write history with our responses to those actions. We can leave the pain and the damage in our wake, unattended, or we can do the work of acknowledging and fixing, to whatever extent possible, the harm that we have caused.”
