Thanks. I worked hard at it. [It's then that a crack appears in the stone walls of his mental fortress, a tiny one, just enough for the quickest glimpse of a memory to peek through. "FOCUS, BOY!" a voice bellows out through the crack, loud and terribly unkind. The emotions drifting out along with it mark it as a memory that isn't particularly pleasant or cherished.
And then, in a blink, it's gone. The crack is sealed back up, the fortress intact again and Harry continues either unaware of the slip or ignoring it.]
Pass it around, make sure the right people see it. We might need to know the best way out of here.
