| 3388cde | They thought I'd die in the attempt, but I'm here and you're in my power. I'm the one with the wand. You're at my mercy." "No, Draco," said Dumbledore quietly. "It is my mercy, and not yours, that matters now." | J.K. Rowling | ||
| dd6be95 | I'd take that gum out of the keyhole if I were you, Peeves," he said pleasantly. Peeves paid no attention to Professor Lupin's words, except to blow a loud wet raspberry. Professor Lupin gave a small sigh and took out his wand. "This is a useful little spell," he told the class over his shoulder. "Please watch closely." He raised the wand to shoulder height, said, " !" and pointed it at Peeves. With the force of a bullet, the wad of chewin.. | J.K. Rowling | ||
| 0244779 | Dear Ron, and Harry if you're there, "I hope everything went all right and that Harry is okay and that you didn't do anything illegal to get him out, Ron, because that would get Harry into trouble, too. I've been really worried and if Harry is all right, will you please let me know at once, but perhaps it would be better if you used a different owl, because I think another delivery might finish your one off. I'm very busy with my schoolwork.. | harrypotter hermione-granger ocinej potter ron-weasley | J.K. Rowling | |
| 76105b3 | HARRY: Voldemort is going to kill my mum and dad -- and there's nothing I can do to stop him. DRACO: That's not true. SCORPIUS: Dad, now is not the time . . . ALBUS: There is something you could do -- to stop him. But you won't. DRACO: That's heroic. GINNY takes HARRY's hand. GINNY: You don't have to watch, Harry. We can go home. HARRY: I'm letting it happen . . . Of course I have to watch. HERMIONE: Then we'll all witness it. RON: .. | cursed-child draco harry harry-potter hermione ron scorpius | J.K. Rowling | |
| 3a72e17 | Harry Potter told his son you're a great man. [...] He said you were the bravest man he'd ever met. He knew, you see -- he knew your secret -- what you did for Dumbledore. And he admired you for it -- greatly. And that's why he named his son -- my best friend -- after you both. Albus Severus Potter. | scorpius scorpius-malfoy severus-snape snape | J.K. Rowling | |
| a999aaf | You don't want to bottle up your anger like that, Harry, let it all out," said Fred, also beaming. "There might be a couple of people fifty miles away who didn't hear you." | J.K. Rowling | ||
| 24da53a | Ron, you know full well Harry and I were brought up by Muggles!" said Hermione. "We didn't hear stories like that when we were little, we heard 'Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs' and 'Cinderella' --" "What's that, an illness?" asked Ron." | J.K. Rowling | ||
| 7b596c6 | You know it's the strangest of things, but ever since being in the scariest place imaginable I'm pretty much good with fear. I am -- Scorpius the Dreadless. I am -- Malfoy the Unanxious. | scorpius-malfoy | J.K. Rowling | |
| 12f94d7 | He chose the boy he thought most likely to be a danger to him," said Dumbledore. And notice this, Harry. He chose, not the pureblood (which, according to his creed, is the only kind of wizard worth being or knowing), but the half-blood, like himself. He saw himself in you before he had ever seen you, and in marking you with that scar, he did not kill you, as he intended, but gave you powers, and a future, which have fitted you to escape him.. | J.K. Rowling | ||
| b08cbf2 | So," said Wood, at long last, jerking Harry from a wistful fantasy about what he could be eating for breakfast at this very moment up at the castle, "is that clear? Any questions?" "I've got a question, Oliver," said George, who had woken with a start. "Why couldn't you have told us yesterday when we were awake?" | J.K. Rowling | ||

| 1f584b2 | And when her eyes met mine, I felt something click, like a key turning in a lock. Believe me, I'm no romantic, and while I've heard about love at first sight, I've never believed in it, and I still don't. But even so, there was something there, something recognizably real, and I couldn't look away. | Nicholas Sparks | ||
| 610f70e | I'm not perfect, either. In the end, it's only God's judgement that matters, and I've learned enough to know that no one can presume to know the will of God. | Nicholas Sparks | ||
| aaef6df | He wanted to say that all this talk of feelings was irrelevant. That emotions come and go and can't be controlled, so there's no reason to worry about them. That in the end, people should be judged by their actions, since in the end, it was actions that defined everyone. | defined emotions everyone feelings irrelevant judged | Nicholas Sparks | |
| 51bc358 | But things change. People change. Change was one of the inevitable laws of nature, exacting its toll on people's lives. Mistakes are made, regrets form, and all that was left were repercussions that made something as simple as rising from the bed seem almost laborious. | Nicholas Sparks | ||
| 948e38f | Makes sense to me. Sometimes starting over is exactly what a person needs. And I think it's admirable. A lot of people don't have the courage it takes to do something like that. | Nicholas Sparks | ||
| 5e3da0c | His sympathy made tears spring to Lina's eyes. Doon looked startled for a moment, and then he took a step toward her and wrapped his arms around her. He gave her a squeeze so quick and tight that it made her cough, and then it made her laugh. She realized all at once that Doon--thin, dark-eyed Doon with his troublesome temper and his terrible brown jacket and his good heart--was the person that she knew better than anyone now. He was her be.. | Jeanne DuPrau | ||

| 0072173 | Lula's borderline too much of a good thing in lots of ways. It isn't exactly that Lula is fat; it's more that she's too short for her weight and her clothes are too small for the volume of flesh she carries. | Janet Evanovich | ||

| 43a9bfd | Helloooo." Miss Ohio rolled her eyes. "I'm from the Buckeye State. We are serious about our tailgating parties. I can turn anything into a grill." | tailgates | Libba Bray | |
| 34de37f | What did I do to make Mommy leave?" "You didn't do anything. This isn't your fault." "Then why?" she'd wailed. "I don't know," her daddy had said, and he looked so sad. "It isn't fair!" "No, it isn't, baby. Not by a mile. The world's only as fair as you can make it. Takes a lot of fight. A lot of fight. But if you stay in here, in your own little cave, that's one less fighter on the side of fair." | loss | Libba Bray | |
| 926cbd6 | In a world beyond this one, that river goes on singing sweetly, enchanting us with what we want to hear, shaping what we need to see in order to keep going. In those waters, all disappointments are forgotten, our mistakes forgiven. Gazing into them, we see a strong father. A loving mother. Warm rooms where we are sheltered, adored, wanted. And the uncertainty of our futures is nothing more than the fog of breath on a windowpane. | Libba Bray | ||
| d72d740 | We fall into the great continuing circle of dancers. Some leave the floor, tired but giddy; others have only just arrived. They are eager to wear their new status as ladies, to be paraded about and lauded until they see themselves with new eyes. The fathers beam at their daughters, thinking them perfect flowers in need of their protection, while the mothers watch from the margins, certain this moment is their doing. We create illusions we n.. | Libba Bray | ||

| a9b5cb9 | That is one thing I've learned, that it is possible to really understand things at certain points, and not be able to retain them, to be in utter confusion just a short while later. I used to think that once you really knew a thing, its truth would shine on forever. Now it's pretty obvious to me that more often than not the batteries fade, and sometimes what you knew even goes out with a bang when you try to call on it, just like a lightbul.. | Ann Patchett | ||
| 543abf4 | For a man to know what he has when he had it, that is what makes him a fortunate man. | Ann Patchett | ||
| 76ce78f | I can become someone else, not out of pressure and desperation, but merely because a new life sounds fun or interesting or joyful. | Chuck Palahniuk | ||
| 653ca37 | These flowers will be rotten in a couple hours. Birds will crap on them. The smoke here will make them stink, and tomorrow a bulldozer will probably run over them, but for right now they are so beautiful. | flowers | Chuck Palahniuk | |
| 19d900a | Everybody looks a little crazy if you're looking close enough and if you can't look that close, then you don't really love them. | love | Chuck Palahniuk | |

| 69871ed | If you look at old pictures, Irene Casey is so pretty. Not just young, but pretty the way you look when your face goes smooth, the skin around your eyes and lips relaxed, the pretty you only look when you love the person taking the picture. | Chuck Palahniuk | ||

| 3a55ff6 | Australia] is the home of the largest living thing on earth, the Great Barrier Reef, and of the largest monolith, Ayers Rock (or Uluru to use its now-official, more respectful Aboriginal name). It has more things that will kill you than anywhere else. Of the world's ten most poisonous snakes, all are Australian. Five of its creatures - the funnel web spider, box jellyfish, blue-ringed octopus, paralysis tick, and stonefish - are the most le.. | Bill Bryson | ||
| 574b963 | People don't talk like this, theytalklikethis. Syllables, words, sentences run together like a watercolor left in the rain. To understand what anyone is saying to us we must separate these noises into words and the words into sentences so that we might in our turn issue a stream of mixed sounds in response. If what we say is suitably apt and amusing, the listener will show his delight by emitting a series of uncontrolled high-pitched noises.. | laugh speech talking | Bill Bryson |
