"He had found the compass for his future life. And like all gifted abominations, for whom some external event makes straight the way down into the chaotic vortex of their souls, Grenouille never again departed from what he believed was the direction fate had pointed him... He must become a creator of scents... the greatest perfumer of all time."

“Careful. In nature, beauty is a warning. The pretty ones are often poisonous.”

The sight of the One-Hundred-and-Ninety-Second Western Hall in the Moonlight made me see how ridiculous that is. The House is valuable because it is the House. It is enough in and of Itself. It is not the means to an end.

In the Air he was a miraculous being – a Heavenly Being – but on the Stones of the Pavement he was mortal and subject to the same embarrassments and clumsiness as other mortals.

But what is a few days of feeling cold compared to a new albatross in the World?

The Waters covered me and for a moment I was surrounded by the strange silence that comes when the Sea sweeps over you and drowns its own sounds.

I know they’re 13 yrs old, but I actually hate Ron.

You know you’re in for a treat when the opening line of your book is "Sometimes you need to cut ties with people… And sometimes those ties are arteries".

Hagrid again…of course. Why is he always at the root of every problem at Hogwarts?!

Gilderoy Lockhart is a bit of an 🫏

Are the Dursley’s getting a check or something? Bc I can’t fathom why they continue to house a child they literally hate. Dumbledore is a villain for placing Harry in their care.

I feel like this book is gaslighting me…

There are some people I shouldn’t have walked away from, I should’ve run.

How cruel this life is, that I took the only thing I cared about away from myself.

🥺🥺🥺

I realize I haven’t seen his hair in moonlight before. It’s alluring and makes every sharp feature on his cheeks and nose more lovely. The moon is deceitful in the way it makes him look harmless.

You can just go ahead and say you love him 😂 The FMC waxes poetic about how attractive she finds the MMC every other page or so. I’m not mad, I just think it’s hilarious.

My first impression of Snape is that he doesn’t hate Harry, he’s just disappointed in his lack of preparedness for Hogwarts (and magic in general).

This was not the same young man who'd practically bled heartbreak all over the knave of his church. Something inside of him was broken.

A lack of people to love is something we have in common

"He makes me want a happy ending."

"I've traveled to a lot of places and met a lot of people. After all that, you learn that everyone is the hero of their own tale."

It was hard to question what kept you alive, even if it did terrible things with the life it gave you.

Dumbledor placing Harry with people who hate him to prevent his ego from growing is certainly a choice….

When your father funds your life in Berlin so you can learn the soap business and you spend the time gallivanting in art museums living your best life 😂

What in the green flag? If warm and fuzzy was a book ❤️
