♔harry potter meme –> ten anything [3/10]: actual quotes from the half-blood prince book, part one. May I ask your name, my dear? Hermione Granger, sir. Granger? Granger? Can you possibly be related to Hector Dagworth-Granger, who founded the Most Extraordinary Society of Potioneers?
“Fleur Delacour, Harry noticed, was eyeing Bill with great interest over her mother’s shoulder. Harry could tell she had no objection whatsoever to long hair or earrings with fangs on them.”
Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, Chapter “The Third Task”
Molly: I remember one night, something caught his attention, and he would not stop giggling! Hours and hours, straight through till dawn, and us not getting a wink for all the noise.
Molly: As the sun started rising, I started singing him a song, this little muggle lullaby that I’d heard once on one of Arthur’s devices.
Molly: He dropped right off, slept straight through to tea time.
Molly: I’d give anything to hear that sound again.
Sirius: *bursts into the dorm, locking the door behind him*
Sirius: *spots Remus and holds a finger to his lips* Shhh…
It had started with little things. The way he’d put his hair up with his wand, dark curls falling across his forehead. The impressively dramatic eye-rolls. The sound of his voice. His crooked smile…
Then it became more specific.
The way his voice would crack when he tried to hit the high notes in “Stayin’ Alive”. The way he’d always tilt Remus’ book down, peering over it with a mischievous look that said very clearly he was up to no good. How he passed every test effortlessly, infuriatingly, playing it off as “luck”. The way his shoulders hunched and his expression turned stony every time he passed Regulus in the hall, desperately trying to think of something to say to his estranged sibling. The way his whole face would light up whenever James introduced him as his brother. The way he’d sit quietly in the hospital wing after the full moon, dark bags under his eyes. The fact that he always took notes when he knew Remus wouldn’t be able to make it…
Sirius: *sighs with relief when no one knocks on the door* *turns to Remus* Hey Moons, If anyone comes asking where I am… tell them I’m off snogging McKinnon or something.
The fact that it hurt when he said that…
Sirius: *notices the way Remus’ hands are trembling as he turns the page, his eyes staring blankly at the same spot*
He didn’t know when it had happened… what had changed…
