- From some fiction blog
"Find the courage within yourself to brave the Tower of Blood," said Zack in an overly dramatic scary voice.
Cody bit his lip in thought. It was healthy to face to your fears.
- From some blog:
I'd rather brave the tower then return to Scotland, Rob announced.
- From Harry Potter:
Harry had been surprised none of his friends had tried to communicate with him. Considering all the adventures he figured
Hermione or maybe Ginny would find a way. If not them, there were plenty of smart and resourceful witches and wizards in the
D.A. but it didn't look like any of them had the stones to try anything. With the Twins gone, it seemed no one had the guts to try
to brave the tower to try and see him. He wondered if the window had some sort of charm on it since he'd never seen any of the
students in the Astronomy Tower ever looking his way.
