“Hello, Minister!” bellowed Percy, sending a neat jinx straight at Thicknesse, who dropped his wand and clawed at the front of his robes, apparently in awful discomfort. “Did I mention I’m resigning?”

“You’re joking, Perce!” shouted Fred as the Death Eater he was battling collapsed under the weight of three separate Stunning Spells. Thicknesse had fallen to the ground with tiny spikes erupting all over him; he seemed to be turning into some form of sea urchin. Fred looked at Percy with glee. 

“You actually are joking, Perce. . . . I don’t think I’ve heard you joke since you were —”

The air exploded. . .

Giles: I cannot believe you are fool enough to do something like this!

Xander: Oh, no, I’m twice the fool it takes to do something like this.

‘My dear Miss Lamb,’ he cried, taking her free hand, ‘I hope I see you well. Quite well?’ he said earnestly, meaning ‘not too much raped?’

Jayne: I don’t understand why we didn’t leave that sumbitch in a pool of his own blood. 

Mal: We’d be dead. Can’t get paid if you’re dead. 

Jayne: Can’t get paid if you crawl away like a bitty little bug neither. I got a share of this job. Ten percent of nothin’ is — lemmie do the math here — nothin’, and then nothin’, carry the nothin’…

“Fiendfyre — cursed fire — it’s one of the substances that destroy Horcruxes, but I would never, ever have dared use it, it’s so dangerous — how did Crabbe know how to — ?”

“Must’ve learned it from the Carrows,” said Harry grimly.

“Shame he wasn’t concentrating when they mentioned how to stop it, really,” said Ron, whose hair, like Hermione’s, was singed, and whose face was blackened. “If he hadn’t tried to kill us all, I’d be quite sorry he was dead.”

 Angelus: Dear Buffy. I’m still trying to decide the best way to send my regards.

Spike: Why don’t you rip her lungs out? It might make an impression.

Angelus: Lacks… poetry.

Spike: It doesn’t have to. What rhymes with lungs?

Silence. The convoy’s dust settled on the empty road. The inhabitants of Carcassonne all went to sleep; even the small boys who had been dropping mortar and clods of earth from the battlements onto the bear disappeared. Silence at last, and the chink of coins.

‘Two livres four sous,’ said the bear-leader. ‘One maravedi, two Levantine coins of whose exact provenance I am uncertain, a Scotch groat.’

‘When one sea-officer is to be roasted, there is always another hand to turn the spit,’ said the bear. ‘It is an old service proverb. I hope to God I have that fornicating young sod under my command one day. I’ll make him dance a hornpipe — oh, such a hornpipe. Stephen, prop my jaws open a little more, will you? I think I shall die in five minutes if you don’t. Could we not creep into a field and take it off?’

‘No,’ said Stephen. ‘But I shall lead you to an inn as soon as the market has cleared, and lodge you in a cool damp cellar for the afternoon. I will also get you a collar, to enable you to breathe. We must reach Couiza by dawn.’

Kaylee: You’re gonna come with us. 

Book: Excuse me?

Kaylee: You like ships; you don’t seem to be lookin’ at the destinations. What you care about is ships, and mine’s the nicest. 

Book: She don’t look like much. 

Kaylee: Oh, she’ll fool ya. You ever sail in a Firefly?

Book: Long before you were crawlin’. Not an aught-three though, didn’t have the extenders, tended to shake. 

Kaylee: So, uh, how come you don’t care where you’re going?

Book: ‘Cause how you get there’s the worthier part. 

Kaylee: Are you a missionary?

Book: I guess. I’m a Shepherd from the Southdown Abbey. Book, I’m called Book. Been out of the world for a spell, like to walk it a while. Maybe bring the Word to them as need it told. 

Kaylee: Well I’m Kaykee, and this here’s Serenity. She’s the smoothest ride from here to Boros for anyone can pay… Can you… pay, or…

Book: Well, I got a little cash, and, uh… (opens box for Kaylee)

Kaylee: Oh, grandpa!

Book: I never married.

And then Harry heard a thin, piteous human scream from amidst the terrible commotion, the thunder of devouring flame. 

“It’s — too — dangerous —!” Ron yelled, but Harry wheeled in the air. His glasses giving his eyes some small protection from the smoke, he raked the firestorm below, seeking a sign of life, a limb or a face that was not yet charred like wood. . . .

And he saw them: Malfoy with his arms around the unconscious Goyle, the pair of them perched on a fragile tower of charred desks, and Harry dived. Malfoy saw him coming and raised one arm, but even as Harry grasped it he knew at once that it was no good: Goyle was too heavy and Malfoy’s hand, covered in sweat, slid instantly out of Harry’s —

“IF WE DIE FOR THEM, I’LL KILL YOU, HARRY!” roared Ron’s voice, and, as a great flaming chimera bore down on them, he and Hermione dragged Goyle onto their broom and rose, rolling and pitching, into the air once more as Malfoy clambered up behind Harry.

Willow: Hey, Amy.

Amy: Hey. Are you guys going to the Valentine’s Day dance at the Bronze? I think it’s gonna be a lot of fun.

Buffy: Go ahead. You know you wanna say it.

Willow: My boyfriend’s in the band!

Amy: Cool.

Buffy: I think you’ve now told everybody.

Willow: Only in this hemisphere.
