"One word more. You look as if you thought it tainted you to be loved by me. You cannot avoid it. Nay, I, if I would, cannot cleanse you from it. But I would not if I could. I have never loved any woman before: my life has been too busy, my thoughts too much absorbed with other things. Now I love and will love. But do not be afraid of too much expression on my part."

"It exploded in a hail of ice and snow, freezing him to the ground and, while he was cursing and shrieking charms to try to free his arms & legs, I scrambled out of the wardrobe and ran for the door. I was almost there, when I felt his magic whip round me like a lasso, yanking my feet out from underneath me so that I fell with an agonising crash, sprawling across the floor."

"The razor-sharp thorns bit into their faces, scouring their features off, their noses and lips. Inch by vicious inch, those barbs sliced at their flesh, flaying the meat from their bodies."

"She could only think of two things to do. Either she could scream and try to run away, and be chased around a badly lit cellar by the huge grub thing, be chased until it caught her. Or she could do something else."

"What once may have been elegant minarets were now crumbled towers, giving the appearance of having been chewed. Stones that may have been rich with color were filmed over with ash."

"This corpse was frozen in the same way, because even though it was dead, even though it wasn't moving, he could sense life inside it. It was as if something lay just beneath the surface of that parchment-thin skin, something writhing and twisting and breathing in that endless inverted scream."

"One grave in every graveyard belongs to the ghouls. Wander any graveyard long enough and you will find it - waterstained and bulging, with cracked or broken stone, scraggly grass or rank weeds about it, and a feeling, when you reach it, of abandonment."

Ok, so I'm re-reading the Harry Potter series, and it's been quite a while since I've been participating in this meme, so I decided to share teasers from both Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban (which I finished yesterday), and Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (which I'm reading now). And yeah, they'll be longer then usual ;)


"‘Professor Severus Snape, master of this school, commands you to yield the information you conceal!’ Snape said, hitting the map with his wand.
...
‘Mr Moony presents his compliments to Professor Snape, and begs him to keep his abnormally large nose out of other people’s business.’
...
‘Mr Prongs agrees with Mr Moony, and would like to add that Professor Snape is an ugly git.’
...
‘Mr Padfoot would like to register his astonishment that an idiot like that ever became a Professor.’
...
‘Mr Wormtail bids Professor Snape good day, and advises him to wash his hair, the slimeball.’"


"The police had never read an odder report. A team of doctors had examined the bodies, and had concluded that none of the Riddles had been poisoned, stabbed, shot, strangled, suffocated or (as far as they could tell) harmed at all. In fact, the report continued, in a tone of unmistakable bewilderment, the Riddles all appeared to be in perfect health – apart from the fact that they were all dead. The doctors did note (as though determined to find something wrong with the bodies) that each of the Riddles had a look of terror upon his or her face – but as the frustrated police said, whoever heard of three people being frightened to death?"

“I bolt away, sprinting down the corridor as fast as my throbbing body will let me. I try to ignore the blood as it spills down my sleeve and drips onto the white flooring below, leaving a dark trail."

“Stories are webs, interconnected strand to strand, and you follow each story to the center, because the center is the end. Each person is a strand of story."

“Tod stood as soon as he saw me, and I couldn't resist a smile, in spite of the nerves still twisting my insides into knots. My arms slid around his neck and delicious, tiny little sparks shot up my spine as his hand settles at my waist, and I secretly marveled at the fact that I was allowed to touch him whenever I wanted."

“He stood there, awkwardly. He had only enough time to observe that there was someone beside him before something wet was forced over his nose and mouth, and he tasted harsh, chemical fumes."

“I faded away from the crowd and hurried back to my hideout, being careful not to run, constantly glancing over my shoulder to make sure I wasn't being followed. Once I was back inside the van, I slammed and locked the door, then curled into a quivering ball in the corner."

Christopher looked at me. “I told you to run away.” "Jeff already complained about being alive. You too?"

“Sweetheart... You think I’m going to let you go now that I have you in my clutches? You think I want to go back to living in black and white now that I know what Technicolor looks like?” 
Ok, I am a fan of Sarah Mayberry. I always enjoy her books & this one I enjoyed a lot. I finished it today, so I decided to share this teaser from it. I wouldn't call it a spoiler, 'cause that's what you actually expect from a romance book, the main characters falling head over heels in love & having a happy ending ;) I really liked both Violet & Martin, and wouldn't you agree from this teaser that Martin is such a sweetie? :)

"Then she grabbed the front of Gavin's shirt and pulled him down for a long kiss...(a few sentences in between)..."That's for being alive when I came to get you," Alice said, then slapped him lightly on the cheek. "And that's for getting captured and scaring me half to death in the first place." "I love you, too" Gavin said. "Now, run!"
Just started this one today, and it's been filled with action from the 1st chapter & love it so far. At first I thought about choosing steampunkish teaser, but then I decided about this one, because it made me smile :)
