Suddenly Susan called out, "Stupefy!" and Professor Quirrell's inert form jumped a bit. Mind you, so did a couple of the other Professors.

"Sorry, Aunt... err... Madam Bones. I thought I saw him... twitch!"

Sirius stared at her. "I hate to disappoint you, Mother, but I didn't actually betray the Potters or kill those muggles." He paused. "Actually, that's a lie because I love to disappoint you and would love to continue doing so. Unfortunately, I have recently realised that I have to restore the standing of the Ancient and Noble House of Black so I can take over the wizarding world thus ensuring my guardianship of my godson. So apparently you're going to get some of what you've always wanted."

His mother's portrait stared back at him, speechless.

"I don't know," said Harry. "My eyes must be playing tricks on me, because for a second there, I swear I saw Cedric sparkle in the sun light."

"Sparkle?" asked Susan and Harry nodded. "I think you need to have your glasses checked."

-From Hand Delivered Letter, by the dork knight

"I don't care what you say, sir," the goblin snarled, "but 'James Potter' is listed as deceased in our directory, and unless you can produce some positive identification…"

"I told you," James retorted furiously. "I don't have any! For God's sake, I'd like to see you get sent to Hell, escape, and still have your wallet intact!"
