Quote by Elizabeth Letts

“The men of the 2nd cavalry had grown so close that some felt like members of his own family—none more so than the faithful young man who had saved his life three times, Jim O’leary. On the day of O'leary's departure, Hank wrote a letter to the young man’s mother back in Chicago. In it, he said, 'I have no sons. If I had one, I could wish nothing more but that he be a son as fine as yours.”

“The common room was packed and noisy. Everyone was eating the food that had been sent up. Hermione, however, stood alone by the door, waiting for them. There was a very embarrassed pause. Then, none of them looking at each other, they all said 'Thanks', and hurried off to get plates. But from that moment on, Hermione Granger became their friend. There are some things you can't share without ending up liking each other, and knocking out a twelve-foot mountain troll is one of them.”

“But Harry - what if You-Know-Who's with him?' 'Well - I was lucky once, wasn't I?' said Harry, pointing at his scar.' I might get lucky again.' Hermione's lip trembled and she suddenly dashed at Harry and threw her arms around him. 'Hermione!' 'Harry - you're a great wizard, you know.' 'I'm not as good as you', said Harry, very embarrassed, as she let go of him. 'Me!' said Hermione. 'Books! And cleverness! There are more important things - friendship and bravery and - oh Harry - be careful!”
