"Toothless had never trusted a human before." A moment from the movie showing Toothless' perspective.

"And he decides that battles may come and death can rush to greet them all, and this one moment of elated harmony will still be in the back of his mind, frozen in time's glacier." [The Chief, the Heir, the first Dragon Rider, and their oldest confidante. A moment from the second movie, in the thoughts of Gobber the Belch.]

A truth: Sirius was not, in any way, prepared for or in want of a child. But another truth, one no less important, was that just because he felt neither ready nor deserving to raise Harry did not, in any way, mean he did not want to. (Sirius is released from Azkaban and moves back in with Remus when Harry is eight years old. This is not a chance he is willing to waste.)

Sirius and Remus talk – really talk – for the first time since Azkaban. It's not quite as easy as Sirius wanted it to be, but somehow it all works out. It kind of always does, with him and Moony.

Rita Skeeter woke to a rapping at her window. [..."Harry Potter: Disturbed and Dangerous"... With each ruthless Daily Prophet article, Harry isn't the only one to receive vitriol.] Set in GoF.

Harry Potter has never hated Dolores Jane Umbridge as much as he does in this moment. Honestly, reading his entire life out to Hogwarts? And the Minister, too? That's... that's just low. But he supposed he owed her, in the end. After all, if it helped defeat Voldemort, who's he to complain?

And then, before Neville could figure out what was going on, a cloth had fallen over his eyes and head, reeking of magic and age and the very castle itself: Voldemort had placed the Sorting Hat upon his head. [The Battle of Hogwarts, 1998.]

Fred and George might waggle their eyebrows and snigger every time they saw him and Hermione together, but Ron honestly couldn't sense anything special between them. At least, nothing as special as this. [HarryRon. A challenge.]
