“Why are they all staring?” demanded Albus as he and Rose craned around to look at the other students.
“Don’t let it worry you,” said Ron. “It’s me. I’m extremely famous.”
Albus, Rose, Hugo, and Lily laughed.

Scott: Hi, Buffy.
Buffy: Hi.
(Scott walks off)
Willow: I think that went very well. Don’t you think that went very well?
Cordelia: He didn’t try to slit our throats or anything. That’s progress.
Willow: Hey, did you do that little half-smile thing?
Buffy: Look, I’m not trying to snare Scott Hope. I just want to get my life back, you know, do normal stuff.
Willow: Like date?
Buffy: Well…
Xander: Oh, you wanna date. I saw that half-smile, you little slut. (Buffy punches him) Ow.
Buffy: All right, yes, date and shop and hang out and go to school and save the world from unspeakable demons. You know, I wanna do girlie stuff!

‘Jack,’ said he, walking into the cabin, ‘what are you at?’
‘I am trying to get this God-damned plant to stand upright. Do what I may, they keep wilting. I water them before breakfast and again in the last dog-watch, and still they wilt. Upon my word, it is too bad.’
‘What do you water them with?’
‘The best water, straight from the scuttle-butt.’
‘If you anoint them with the vile concoction we drink and wash in, of course they will wilt. You must send ashore for some rain-water; and at that rate of watering, some aquatic plants.’
‘What an admirable notion, Stephen. I shall do so at once. Thank you. But apart from these poxed vegetables, don’t you think it looks tolerably well? Comfortable? Homelike? The gunner’s wife said she had never seen the like: all she could suggest was somewhere to hang their clothes, and a pincushion.’
The cabin resembled a cross between a brothel and an undertaker’s parlour, but Stephen only said that he agreed with Mrs Armstrong and suggested that it might be a little less like a state funeral if the tubs were not quite so rigidly arranged about each cot.

Simon: (sarcastically) Oh yes, he’s a real beast. It’s a wonder you’re still alive.
Jayne: Looked bigger when I couldn’t see him.

“Bye, Al,” said Harry as his son hugged him. “Don’t forget Hagrid’s invited you to tea next Friday. Don’t mess with Peeves. Don’t duel anyone till you’ve learned how. And don’t let James wind you up.”
“What if I’m in Slytherin?”
The whisper was for his father alone, and Harry knew that only the moment of departure could have forced Albus to reveal how great and sincere that fear was.
Harry crouched down so that Albus’s face was slightly above his own. Alone of Harry’s three children, Albus had inherited Lily’s eyes.
“Albus Severus,” Harry said quietly, so that nobody but Ginny could hear, and she was tactful enough to pretend to be waving to Rose, who was now on the train, “you were named for two headmasters of Hogwarts. One of them was a Slytherin and he was probably the bravest mane I ever knew.”
“But just say –“
“– then Slytherin House will have gained an excellent student, won’t it? It doesn’t matter to us, Al. But if it matters to you, you’ll be able to choose Gryffindor over Slytherin. The Sorting Hat takes your choice into account.”
“Really?”
“It did for me,” said Harry.
He had never told any of his children that before, and he saw the wonder in Albus’s face when he said it.

Willow: Ooh, Scott Hope at eleven o’clock. He likes you. He wanted to ask you out last year, but you weren’t ready then. But I think you’re ready now, or at least in the state of pre-readiness to make conversation, or-or to do that thing with your mouth that boys like. (Buffy gapes at her) Oh! I didn’t mean the *bad* thing with your mouth, I meant that little half-smile thing that you… (glares at Oz) You’re supposed to stop me when I do that.
Oz: (smiles and shakes his head) I like when you do that.

‘We can shift the bulkhead a good eighteen inches for’ard,’ said Jack. ‘By the bye, you will not object to the bees going ashore, just for a while?’
‘They did not go ashore for Mrs Miller. There were none of these tyrannical caprices for Mrs Miller, I believe. They are just growing used to their surroundings — they have started a queen-cell!’
‘Brother, I insist. I should send my bees ashore for you, upon my sacred honour. Now there is a great favour I must ask you. I believe I have told you how I dined with Lord Nelson?’
‘Not above two or three hundred times.’

Jayne: Something wrong?
Simon: Hmmm? Oh, no. I suppose it’s just the thought of a little Mylar and glass separating a person from… nothing.
Jayne: It’s impressive what “nothing” can do to a man. Like that fella we bumped into. He’s likely stuck up under our belly about now. That’s what space trash does, you know. Kind of latches onto the first big something that stops long enough. Hey now, that’d be a bit like you and your sister now, wouldn’t it?

“Don’t forget to give Neville our love!” Ginny told James as she hugged him.
“Mum! I can’t give a professor love!”
“But you know Neville –“
James rolled his eyes.
“Outside, yeah, but at school he’s Professor Longbottom, isn’t he? I can’t walk into Herbology and give him love. . . .”
Shaking his head at his mother’s foolishness, he vented his feelings by aiming a kick at Albus.

Xander: Ahh. Buffy and food.
Willow: Maybe we shouldn’t be too couple-y around Buffy.
Cordelia: Oh, you mean ’cause of how the only guy that ever liked her turned into a vicious killer and had to be put down like a dog?
Xander: Can she cram complex issues into a nutshell, or what?
Oz: All right, prepare to uncouple… Uncouple.
