"Thing's will get better, Angus." I shook my head, not wanting to believe that. It won't get better if I don't find him. It's been five years. I would be lying if I started believing the lie that he was "dead". But maybe one more time. "It won't Harry," I said, shaking my head again. "It's…

She decided to just dive in. "Mr. Malfoy, would you mind just telling me a little about yourself?" He nodded. "I…

His emotions are overturning and he can't help but to feel at a loss. “He wondered at his riot of emotions…” He was clearly shook that his life was not going as planned. Gabriel points out the location of his wife’s boots. “One boot stood upright, its limp upper fallen down: the fellow of it lay upon its side.” Using imagery, he pulls our attention on the atmosphere of…

rush or a ‘watch this’ moment. They knowingly put themselves in harm’s way for the selfless reason, the right reason. There are millions of heroes in the world every day. It is possible to have met one recently. Maybe one has bought her a coffee, shook his hand, said hello to him, or even been saved by a hero. It is possible to meet a hero without even knowing that you were talking to one. That is because, in my belief, a hero does not have to be an alien with special powers, or a man who fell…

I didn't cry. I had become so numb I couldn't, well... not anymore. When this all happened, I did. When my mum had started to date that son of a bitch, but ever since I've not shown my feelings. I've been the serious, and secluded one in the corner. The freak who never opens her mouth. Scars riddled my body, and everyone knew they were there.
