“But I haven’t got uncommon skill and power,” said Harry, before he could stop himself.

“Yes, you have,” said Dumbledore firmly.  “You have a power that Voldemort has never had.  “You can —”

“I know!” said Harry impatiently.  “I can love!”  It was only with difficulty that he stopped himself adding, “Big deal!”

“Yes, Harry, you can love,” said Dumbledore, who looked as though he knew perfectly well what Harry had just refrained from saying.  “Which, given everything that has happened to you, is a great and remarkable thing.  You are still too young to understand how unusual you are, Harry.”

“So, when the prophecy says that I’ll have ‘power the Dark Lord knows not,’ it just means — love?” asked harry, feeling a little let down.

“Yes — just love,” said Dumbledore.

Xander:  Well, the Hellmouth, the center of mystical convergence, supernatural monsters: been there.

Buffy:  Little blasé there, aren’t you?

Xander:  I’m not worried. If there’s something bad out there we’ll find, you’ll slay, we’ll party!

Buffy:  Thanks for having confidence in me.

Xander:  You da man, Buff!

“Who are those other two?” asked an Elder in the crowd.

“Who cares?” said Mrs. Morrow, and waved her torch.  “They’re probably more accomplices!  Let’s burn them at the stake, too!”

“Why not?” said another Elder.  “We already have torches and kindling, and I don’t have anything else to do right now.”

Lauren: The Chief doesn’t like any of us. Do you, Chief?

Miles O’Brien: Julian…

Jack: He’s just jealous you’re spending so much time with us.

Lauren: His wife’s away. He misses his friend.

Miles O’Brien: I do not.

Lauren: It’s all right, Julian. Go play with your friend, we’ll be fine.

“Well, here goes,” said Harry, and he raised the little bottle and took a carefully measured gulp.

“What does it feel like?” whispered Hermione.

Harry did not answer for a moment.  Then, slowly but surely, an exhilarating sense of infinite opportunity stole through him; he felt as though he could have done anything, anything at all . . . and getting the memory from Slughorn seemed suddenly not only possible, but positively easy. . . .

He got to his feet, smiling, brimming with confidence.

“Excellent,” he said.  “Really excellent.  Right . . . I’m going down to Hagrid’s.”

“What?” said Ron and Hermione together, looking aghast.

“No, Harry — you’ve got to go and see Slughorn, remember?” said Hermione.

“No,” said Harry confidently.  “I’m going to Hagrid’s, I’ve got a good feeling about going to Hagrid’s.”

“You’ve got a good feeling about burying a giant spider?” asked Ron, looking stunned.

“Yeah,” said Harry, pulling his Invisibility Cloak out of his bag.  “I feel like it’s the place to be tonight, you know what I mean?”
“No,” said Ron and Hermione together, both looking positively alarmed now.

“This is Felix Felicis, I suppose?” said Hermione anxiously, holding up the bottle to the light.  “You haven’t got another little bottle full of — I don’t know —”
“Essence of Insanity?” suggest Ron, as Harry swung his cloak over his shoulders.

Harry laughed, and Ron and Hermione looked even more alarmed.

“Trust me,” he said.  “I know what I’m doing . . . or at least” — he strolled confidently to the door — “Felix does.”

Willow:  I don’t like spiders, okay? Their furry bodies, and their sticky webs, and what do they need all those legs for anyway?

“Heni!” she screamed one last time, gnashing her teeth against the eye in frustration, and as she bit the eye, it depressed.  “Depressed” is a word that often describes someone who is feeling sad and gloomy, but in this case it describes a secret button, hidden in a crow statue, that is feeling just fine, thank you.

Julian Bashir: Miles?

Miles O’Brien: Yeah?

Julian Bashir: It works… I’ve had a vision about the future… I can see it so clearly.

Miles O’Brien: What is it?

Julian Bashir: I’m going to kill Worf… I’m going to kill Worf!… that’s what I’m going to do… I see it so clearly!

Miles O’Brien: Kill Worf.

Julian Bashir: Yeah, kill Worf.

“Goes back to what I said, doesn’t it?” said Ron, who was now shoveling mashed potato into his mouth.  “She’s gone a bit funny.  Lost her nerve.  Women,” he said wisely to Harry, “they’re easily upset.”
“And yet,” said Hermione, coming out of her reverie, “I doubt you’d find a woman who sulked for half an hour because Madam Rosmerta didn’t laugh at their joke about the hag, the Healer, and the Mimbulus mimbletonia.”

Ron scowled.
