The Fallout Quotes

“They both laugh outright, and fifty years could pass, and she would still be able to recall exactly how he looked at that moment.”

“Then I would have to come back and haunt you."

"Yeah?"

"Yeah. I won't be some friendly ghost either. I'll hide dead fish in your bedroom. I';; ruin all your favorite clothes--"

"Will you pop out and yell 'boo' at random times as well? I'm scared, Granger. I fear your cleverness."

"Those will be just be to throw you off. Then I'll start the revenge murder schemes. Catch you off guard."

"After telling me your plans?"

"Draco Malfoy's End: Death by Slippers. Your tombstone will read, 'He Should Have Brought Her Boots'. Everyone will say '*oh*, how ominous', and I'll just point at you and laugh.”

“I don't think you ever stop wishing for a different moment."

"What?" Harry is smiling, she can tell by his voice, but when she glances over it is gone.

"Whenever anyone does, I always think about the last moment I saw them. I think of that first. Every time, it's not good enough. I think...I should have said 'I love you', 'thank you', I should have told them how much I cared. I should have laughed more with them, and hugged them."

"It's not like we could have known...I mean..." Harry trails off and shrugs his shoulders.

"I know that. Most times we don't know that the last time is goodbye. So when it is, every time I think about how I'm going to stop getting caught up in all these stupid things that don't matter. How I'm going to enjoy my life and the people I love, but I forget. Out of all the things I remember, I hate how I forget that most of all.”

“It's just time. He had told her days ago. It feels like a decade. Numbers don't matter. It's just time. But time is everything- time is their existence.”

“Just like old times," Lavender sighs about the mission, sliding a plate of the pancakes she cooked to the middle of the table.

"Indeed," Seamus mutters, looking skeptically at the food.

Justin pokes his fork at them gingerly, showing the middle raw. "Some things just don't get better with time."

"Why are we ending the day with pancakes?"

"Because it's morning.”

“It is a photograph, captured by someone she can't remember. Neville is standing at a table and grinning, his hands over his red face. Draco and Hermione stand with her shoulder leaning into his arm, Draco full out laughing and looking at Neville with Hermione laughing so hard her eyes are squeezed shut. The background is a safe house, the background is war, but the picture doesn't show it. See has loved the picture since the moment she saw it, and it's one of her absolute favorites. She hopes she can get a copy of it later, and that he doesn't throw it out. She hopes he understands what she means to say.”

“Harry is quiet as she stands, fixing her hair on top of her head and breathing in deep to clear the heaviness in her chest. "You've changed. You used to be a lot more...emotional."

"We all have," she shrugs. "It's human nature to adapt to your environment. But what someone told me once that we can't wait for the fallout. Because there are a lot of fallouts, Harry, and we don't know hat's going to happen, but we sort of... We have to survive.”

“He grabs her then, an odd look on his face like he's trying to be sure about this when he's not. He pulls her up against him and presses his face into her hair and the bed. He exhales against her neck, and she pretends she doesn't press closer at the feeling. "Pitch black."

She doesn't speak, no words within her head, but there is something warm at the pit of her stomach where the hollow pang had been. She wraps her arms around his shoulders and cradles his head like a child, closing her eyes against the light and falling into him to block the thoughts. Perhaps it should have been awkward. It really should have been. It wasn't.”

“HIs forehead crinkles and he places two fingers to his temple, closing his eyes as if he is internally threatening an oncoming headache. "If he isn't a virgin, I am honestly surprised."

She smiles, if only because he mutters it low enough for only her to hear, and she likes when he makes things personal. She still throws him a look, though, because Justin's fumbling is cute and she doesn't know how to stop defending people.”

“Don't we all judge our worth by what our friends and family think of us? On how we are to other people?"

"I would have killed myself a long time ago," Draco drawls, and she has no idea how she can laugh about that, but she does. She is gratified by the slow smile on his lips before ducking her head to regain her point.”

“Do you know what drives a revolution?"

"Heart."

"I guess that's another way to put it. I would say willingness. The willingness to risk and sacrifice everything in hopes of gaining something you feel you cannot live without. Your life, your rights, your possessions, family -- whatever. The willingness to deal with the repercussions of our revolt that come with both the failure of it and the success of it.”

“You know what I think?"

"That's an impossible question." He looks up at her from his bowl as she not-so-secretly steals a handful of his popcorn.

"I think it's the smaller things in life that change us the most. That are the most profound. Like me meeting Harry and Ron, like you met all people in life, or how my mum bought me a simple book that I adored and learned how to love reading from. Just the small things."

"Well if they are such profound impacts on our life, then wouldn't they be counted as the 'bigger' things? It's not judged by how extreme it is, it is judged by how much it affects everything.”

“I can't find my sock, so just..."

"Oh, well that should appease my foot fetish perfectly."

He laughs, fully and outright, and she can't even help but grin back at him from the sound of it. He looks very different when he's thrown into laughter, and she likes the lines around his mouth and the way his eyes squint.”

“I believe in living my life, and following what my hear tells me to follow. I don't think God is meant to constrict our lives, but to find the humanity in us when we don't want to find it. To force us to admit the things we do wrong, accept them, and try to forgive ourselves as we hope God will, but in a way we will learn from it. I don't believe in God out of need or fear. I believe in God because He's there.”

“I wonder if faith comes from a need or from fear, and then I wonder if it's against God to think like that, I think it may be fear."

"We all know we are sinners, that's why. No matter our morals, throughout our lives, there are times when when we are morally incorrect. When we lie, or when we kill, or we betray, we are not perfect people. And we need to know someone forgives us for that, when we cannot forgive ourselves.”

“He had a way of making you feel special when he smiled, Pansy had said once.

She said he made you feel like he was smiling over an inside joke, and even if the entire room was in hysterics, when his eyes caught yours, it felt like you were the only one who actually *got* it and he wanted to share that second with you because if it.”

“War is such a downer." Fred shakes his head and stirred more sugar into his coffee.

Hermione blinks at him, If there had ever been a more simple, almost flippant was in which she heard all of this *hell* describes, she could not recall it. She was surprised. So surprised by his tone, and his choice of wording, that she laughs. Fred looks up in his own surprise at the sound, and when she is busy waiting for him to say something about it, she hears more amusement to her right.

He is grinning. Malfoy is turning his face into the hand that had previously been pushed against his cheek, doing his best to hide the grin, but she can still see it through the cracks in his fingers, and the slight crinkle of his nose and the corner of his eyes, and the lines around his mouth. She could tell without actually *seeing* it, that he is grinning like a fool.”

“Enemies are people you have to fight for something against. If you could just achieve everything you wanted without anyone there to make it harder for you, then when you finally do get what you want, it doesn't seem important."

"It would still be important, or it wouldn't have been something you wanted in the first place."

"But if it's easy to obtain, in the beginning, then you already basically have it. So the importance loses itself quickly. If you work for something, if you earn it, then you're proud of yourself and hold your achievements closer to you. Their worth is something."

"That just makes life harder. Why prefer a harder life?"

"Because it makes you cherish things more.”

“....I think some things just aren't supposed to happen, no matter how much you want them to."

"And sometimes they do, no matter how much you don't want them to."

She sounds as if it is her own revelation about her own life, so she only nods and folds her hands in her lap. Life has a horrible way of surprising you.”

“Ginny gives her a bemused look. "It's the truth though, isn't it?"

Hermione shrugs after giving the ground a hard look. "I suppose it depends on what you know first. That affects everything you perceive after.”

“A leader is someone skilled enough for the position, and who can be turned to if the need for a backup plan comes during the mission. A leader eliminates procrastination on what to do, like your team's three hour indecision last mission, and provides a plan everyone must follow immediately to get the job done.”

“Do you blame a child for doing what his father said, when that child should have been old enough to make his own choices? Yet, if that person has only been exposed to one sort of right their while lives, do you still blame them for having a biased opinion because they were never shown how to see from a different perspective? And do you still blame that boy, despite everything he faced, that in the end, he never went through with it? Even when he supposedly is now doing what he can to rectify his mistake in the first place?”

“At times, we need to hear the lie to keep living the truth. That is the world”
