~*~ Meaningful Harry Potter Quotes ~*~ - Page 15

It was, he thought, the difference between being dragged into the arena to face a battle to the death and walking into the arena with your head held high. Some people, perhaps, would say that there was little to choose between the two ways, but Dumbledore knew - and so do I, thought Harry, with a rush of fierce pride, and so did my parents - that there was all the difference in the world.


It's a strange thing, but when you are dreading something, and would give anything to slow down time, it has a disobliging habit of speeding up. 😆


'Obviously not', he [Lucius] said. 'Dear me, What's the use in being a disgrace to the name of wizard if they don't even pay you well for it?
Mr. Weasley flushed darker than either Ron or Ginny.
'We have a very different idea about what disgraces the name of wizard, Malfoy,' he said.

'Hello,' said Luna vaguely, glancing around at him as she stepped back from the notice.

'How come you're not at the feast?' Harry asked.

'Well, I've lost most of my possessions,' said Luna serenely. 'People take them and hide them, you know. But as it's the last night, I really do need them back, so I've been putting up signs.'

She gestured towards the noticeboard, upon which, sure enough, she had pinned a list of all her missing books and clothes, with a plea for their return.

An odd feeling rose in Harry; an emotion quite different from the anger and grief that had filled him since Sirius's death. It was a few moments before he realised that he was feeling sorry for Luna.

'How come people hide your stuff?' he asked her, frowning.

'Oh ... well ...' she shrugged. 'I think they think I'm a bit odd, you know. Some people call me "Loony" Lovegood, actually.'

Harry looked at her and the new feeling of pity intensified rather painfully.

'That's no reason for them to take your things,' he said flatly. 'D'you want help finding them?'

'Oh, no,' she said, smiling at him. 'They'll come back, they always do in the end. It was just that I wanted to pack tonight. Anyway ... why aren't you at the feast?'

Harry shrugged. 'Just didn't feel like it.'

'No,' said Luna, observing him with those oddly misty, protuberant eyes. 'I don't suppose you do. That man the Death Eaters killed was your godfather, wasn't he? Ginny told me.'

Harry nodded curtly, but found that for some reason he did not mind Luna talking about Sirius. He had just remembered that she, too, could see Thestrals.

'Have you ...' he began. 'I mean, who ... has anyone you known ever died?'

'Yes,' said Luna simply, 'my mother. She was a quite extraordinary witch, you know, but she did like to experiment and one of her spells went rather badly wrong one day. I was nine.'

'I'm sorry,' Harry mumbled.

'Yes, it was rather horrible,' said Luna conversationally. 'I still feel very sad about it sometimes. But I've still got Dad. And anyway, it's not as though I'll never see Mum again, is it?'

'Er--isn't it?' said Harry uncertainly.

She shook her head in disbelief.

'Oh, come on. You heard them, just behind the veil, didn't you?'

'You mean ...'

'In that room with the archway. They were just lurking out of sight, that's all. You heard them.'

They looked at each other. Luna was smiling slightly. Harry did not know what to say, or to think; Luna believed so many extraordinary things ... yet he had been sure he had heard voices behind the veil, too.

'Are you sure you don't want me to help you look for your stuff?' he said.

'Oh, no,' said Luna. 'No, I think I'll just go down and have some pudding and wait for it all to turn up ... it always does in the end ... well, have a nice holiday, Harry.'

'Yeah ... yeah, you too.'

She walked away from him and, as he watched her go, he found that the terrible weight in his stomach seemed to have lessened slightly.

^ That's so sweet, I remember rooting so much for Harry Luna at that time!
I love the part where she says, "...it always does in the end." Classic!

Yup...Luna was a really good friend to Harry...he named his daughter after her!

Yeah, I know. 😆 I love this one as well:

'Hello, Harry!' she said.

'Er - my name's Barny,' said Harry, flummoxed.

'Oh, have you changed that too?' she asked brightly.

'How did you know -?'

'Oh, just your expressions,' she said.

Did you make this up?

Hahaha...Nope. It's a dialogue from a video game that I'm obssessed with (it's in my siggy). Have no idea who came up with it though, I mean games probably lift stuff from real life people. I just love the quote though...and the game. They're one of a kind. 😆

Seems like a perfect quote to describe Jo. 😆
