My favorite quotes:

“Mr. Crouch!” said Percy breathlessly, sunk into a kind of half-bow that made him look like a hunchback. “Would you like a cup of tea?”
- Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire

“You’re eating again, I notice,” said Ron, watching Hermione adding liberal amounts of jam to her toast too.
“I’ve decided there are better ways of making a stand about elf rights,” said Hermione haughtily.
“Yeah...and you were hungry,” said Ron, grinning.
- Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire

“I’ll come and help you,” said Tonks brightly.
She followed Harry back into the hall and up the stairs, looking around with much curiosity and interest.
“Funny place,” she said. “It’s a bit too clean, d’you know what I mean? Bit unnatural. Oh, this is better,” she added, as they entered Harry’s bedroom and he turned on the light.
His room was certainly much messier than the rest of the house.
- Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix

Malfoy glanced around—Harry knew he was checking for signs of teachers—then he looked back at Harry and said in a low voice, “You’re dead, Potter.”
Harry raised his eyebrows.
“Funny,” he said, “you’d think I’d have stopped walking around.”
- Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix

“The Inner Eye,” said Professor Trelawney with dignity, straightening her shawls and many strands of glittering beads, “was fixed upon matters well outside the mundane realms of whooping voices.”
- Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince

Hermione (shrieking): “Merlin’s pants!”
Ron: “What in Merlin’s baggy pants was that all about?”
- Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows

“But you’re dead,” said Harry.
“Oh yes,” said Dumbledore matter-of-factly.
“Then…I’m dead too?”
“Ah,” said Dumbledore, smiling still more broadly. “That is the question, isn’t it? On the whole, my dear boy, I think not.” […]
“Explain,” said Harry.
- Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows

“Let us find the dam snack bar,” Zoe said. “We should eat while we can.”
Grover cracked a smile. “The dam snack bar?”
Zoe blinked. “Yes. What is funny?”
“Nothing,” Grover said, trying to keep a straight face. “I could use some dam french fries.”
Even Thalia smiled at that. “And I need to use the dam restroom.”
- Percy Jackson and the Olympians Book 3: The Titan’s Curse

"...I live for death."
"You must be fun at parties," I said. "Why have you brought me here?"
"To talk." [Anubis] spread his hands, and the nearest tomb rumbled. A long white ribbon shot out of a crack in the wall. The ribbon just kept coming, weaving itself into some kind of shape next to Anubis, and my first thought was, My god, he's got a magic roll of toilet paper.
- The Kane Chronicles Book 1: The Red Pyramid

“Max?” Ari asked, staring at the other Max.
“Max!” Nudge shouted.
“Yes,” we both answered.
The other Max looked at me, and her eyes narrowed. “They say imitation is the sincerest form of flattery,” she said snidely. “So I guess you’re really sucking up.”
- Maximum Ride Book 2: School’s Out Forever

It [the kiss] was pretty much the worst thing that could ever happen to a girl.
I highly recommend it.
When Fang asked if it was time to get back, I thought hazily, Back to what?
This is my brain: O
This is my brain after making out with Fang: •
It’s very sad.
- Maximum Ride Book 5: Max

Fang’s face showed dark fury. I might have witnessed the first bird kid boy fight in history if I hadn’t bolted forward, my feet crunching on the gravel. “Fang!”
They swiveled and saw me. Dylan looked taken aback, and Fang’s expression was angry and shut.
“The house was on fire,” I greeted them tersely. “In case you’re interested.”
They both glanced up overhead as if to make sure the house was still standing. Fang sniffed, smelling the smoke, and I saw comprehension cross his face.
“It’s out, right?” he said. I just looked at him.
- Maximum Ride Book 6: Fang

Heck, I hope anybody’s reading this because the only thing that’s keeping me from going totally off my nut right now is getting this all down on paper so that someday, when it’s all over, it’ll help prove that I’m not a total whack job. You see, two things happened yesterday that changed my life forever. The first was that I finally kissed Courtney Chetwynde. […] The second is that I was launched through a wormhole called a “flume” and got jacked across the universe to a medieval planet called “Denduron” that’s in the middle of a violent civil war.
I guess it’s kind of dumb to be fixating on the glorious Courtney Chetwynde when the real problem is that I’m afraid I’m going to die.
- Pendragon Book 1: The Merchant of Death

Even before he got electrocuted, Jason was having a rotten day.
He woke in the back seat of a school bus, not sure where he was, holding hands with a girl he didn't know. That wasn't necessarily the rotten part.
- The Heroes of Olympus Book 1: The Lost Hero

“Dinnertime!” It was Isabelle, standing framing in the door of the library. She still had the spoon in her hand, though her hair had escaped from its bun and was straggling down her neck. “Sorry if I’m interrupting,” she added, as an afterthought.
“Dear God,” said Jace, “the dread hour is nigh.”
- The Mortal Instruments Book 1: City of Bones

“Oh, it’s big enough,” [Jace] said patronizingly, “but somehow I was expecting something...you know.” He gestured with his hands, indicating something roughly the size of a house cat.
“It’s the Mortal Cup, Jace, not the Mortal Toilet Bowl,” said Isabelle.
- The Mortal Instruments Book 1: City of Bones

“You’re here!” Isabelle danced up to them in delight, carrying a glass of fuchsia liquid, which she thrust at Clary. “Have some of this!”
Clary squinted at it. “Is it going to turn me into a rodent?”
“Where is the trust? I think it’s strawberry juice,” Isabelle said. “Anyway, it’s yummy. Jace?” She offered him the glass.
“I am a man,” he told her, “and men do not consume pink beverages. Get thee gone, woman, and bring me something brown.”
- The Mortal Instruments Book 3: City of Glass

Will shook his head. "I don't know, Magnus," he said. "He doesn't like the right [demon] to me."
"You said he was blue. This one's blue."
"He is blue," Will acknowledged, stepping closer to the circle of flame. "But the demon I need - well, he was really a cobalt blue. This one's more...periwinkle."
- The Infernal Devices Book 2: The Clockwork Prince

"They're not hideous," said Tessa.
Will blinked at her. "What?"
"Gideon and Gabriel," said Tessa. "They're really quite good-looking, not hideous at all."
"I spoke," said Will in sepulchral tones, "of the pitch-black inner depths of their souls."
Tessa snorted. "And what color do you suppose the inner depths of your soul are, William Herondale?"
"Mauve."

- Dirty Dancing (film)

Marco: (threateningly) Will won’t be there to watch you all twenty-four hours of the day.
Miles: Oh, wow! You know that there are twenty-four hours in a day? You must be evolving!
- Avalon High (film)

Miles: You are currently making a tactical error of monumental proportions.
Allie: By...sitting...at my desk.
Miles: No, by talking to me.
Allie: But I wasn’t talking to you.
- Avalon High (film)

Allie: Any chance that you’re getting a vision of what’ll happen later tonight?
Miles: Am I doubled over clutching my head in excruciating pain?
Allie: No.
Miles: Then there’s your answer.
- Avalon High (film)

Paolo: Where is the beautiful girl?
Queen: (indicating Mia) My granddaughter, Amelia.
Paolo: Aaargh! ... She’s beautiful.

Sawyer: What do I need with a couple of water bottles? It’s gonna rain sooner or later.
(Sayid and Kate look at him.)
Sawyer: Hell, I’m an optimist!
- Lost, Season 1

(Kate picks up a book from a pile of Sawyer’s stuff. Sawyer comes up from the water.)
Sawyer: Hell of a book!
Kate: (looks at him)
Sawyer: (grinning) It’s about bunnies.
- Lost, Season 1

Kate: A boar wouldn’t just attack you unless you did something to it.
Sawyer: Well, thank you, BOAR EXPERT. This one did!

Alex: Wait…so you’re done drawing me?
Mason: Yeah. I feel like painting some dogs.
Alex: Good. Good! You should do that! But kiss me first.
Mason: ...But you have a cold.
- Wizards of Waverly Place, Season 3: Alex Charms a Boy

Mason: Alex, just go away, please!
Alex: I'm sorry, Mason, but...Harper-thinks-you're-seeing-another-girl-please-tell-her-she's-wrong!
Mason: Get out of here! (looks at moon and screams)
Alex: (pointing) So this is a painful question for you!
(Harper points too and nods.)
(Mason morphs into a werewolf.)
Alex and Harper: (scream)
- Wizards of Waverly Place, Season 3: Wizards vs. Werewolves

Alex: Wait, I’ve been meaning to ask you something. I thought when a werewolf kisses a non-werewolf, they turn into a werewolf.
Mason: Oh, that’s only for mutts. I’m a purebred.
Alex: Ha! Did you hear that, Justin? My boyfriend’s a purebred!
Justin: (grimaces)
- Wizards of Waverly Place, Season 3: Wizards vs. Werewolves

Alex: (points at flower path) Mason! Rose petals? What did you do? We're only supposed to be friends.
Mason: Oh, that’s not from me...but I have my suspicions.
Dean: (from outside) Hey, Russo! Like my flowers?
Mason: (muttering) Suspicions confirmed.
- Wizards of Waverly Place, Season 4, Episode 4: Journey to the Center of Mason

Mason: Alex, I'm sorry. I saw how well you were getting along with Dean, and I...I guess I got a little jealous.
Alex: (shrieking) That doesn't mean you can eat him!!!
- Wizards of Waverly Place, Season 4, Episode 4: Journey to the Center of Mason

Dean: (waking up) Ugh, what happened? And what are you guys wearing? And...what am I covered in?
Justin: Uh, Alex, you got this one, right? (runs off)
Harper: Oh, she lives for these moments! (runs off after Justin)
Max: Simon says...FOLLOW THEM! (runs off after Justin and Harper)
- Wizards of Waverly Place, Season 4, Episode 4: Journey to the Center of Mason

(Jerry and Theresa, or Mom and Dad, are busy playing skiball in the middle of the street.)
Alex: Mom, Dad, I have some really exciting news to tell. I've decided to rejoin the family wizard competition.
Theresa: ...It's in the drawer with the dead batteries. (scores and cheers)
Alex: Um, are you guys even listening? I'm going win the wizard competition so Mason and I can be together.
Jerry: (scores and cheers) ...Yeah, yeah, that's sweet, honey. Here's twenty bucks, now go buy your own candy...
(Alex and Mason look at each other.)
Mason: Here, let me try. (to Jerry and Theresa) I ate Dean today.
Jerry and Theresa: You WHAT???

My planned/future stories:

Destiny – Harry Potter fanfic. A one-shot exploring Harry’s feelings more deeply as he watches Ginny’s rising and falling relationship with Dean, and his longing to be with her despite the fact he knows he just might die. Thought I’d do this since the Harry/Ginny pairing is so sweet, but Rowling never really delved into it much.

Two Pi - A Percy Jackson and the Olympians long chaptered fanfic, revamped! Juliette Krahler, the blind daughter of Mnemosyne, has the unique job of erasing half-bloods' memories by their consent to help them cope with loss and trauma...until one procedure with a certain patient - Desmond Graye, son of Athena - goes catastrophically wrong. Now he's forgotten everything - including his important mission, the secret to get Juliette's sight back, and even his deep romantic relationship with Juliette.

Aftermath – Unwind fanfic. A one-shot in which Ariana works at a coffee shop and sees Connor and Risa come in (with Risa in a wheelchair). Dramatic/emotional meeting. I dunno, I’m weird that way…since nobody else ever did something like this before.

Beauty and the Beast – Lord of the Rings fanfic. A humorous one-shot in play form in which Arwen discovers just how hard it is to be the wife/mother/cook/nagger/comforter/queen of Aragorn. Been planning this one for a long time; just have to get around to posting it! =)

Yay! And that's that! Enjoy my stories and beta reading services!
