“never forgetting to

hands of his own kind

This is Where
The Story of You

Afeefah Khazi-Syed, Our Ancestors Did Not Breathe This Air

J.K. Rowling
“Don’t get smart - you two are in a heap of trouble!” snarled Anderson. “Names!”
“Names?” repeated the long-haired driver. “Er — well, let’s see. There’s Wilberforce . . . Bathsheba . . . Elvendork . . .”

“Things’ll be seriously black for you in a minute, you cheeky little —”
J.K. Rowling, Harry Potter: The Prequel
