"Neville's childhood had been blighted by Voldermort just as much as Harry's had, but Neville had no idea how close he had come to having Harry's destiny.  The prophecy could have referred to either of them, yet, for his own inscrutable reasons, Voldermort had chosen to believe that Harry was the one meant."

  My Teaser:
    "But the taxes must be paid in hard currency; not in corn and hides and blocks of indigo, as the farmers did there business.  Barter was the common means of trade - I knew that well enough, I thought, glancing down at the bag of odd things folk had brought me in payment for my herbs and simples.  No one ever paid for anything in money- save the taxes."

My Teaser:
 For a moment I felt sorry for Simon's Father.  He didn't sound like the greatest guy, but his want to fit it was something I could relate to.  And though Simon dissed his dad every chance he got, I knew that somewhere underneath, he had some sympathy for his dad too, because Simon knew the truth firsthand: in the end, it didn't matter if you had good taste or no taste at all; some clubs you couldn't join unless you were born into them.

There was a moment of silence.

How many of those brought as Tribute had screamed and fought in panic here?

     That's when it happens.  The moment of death is full of heat and sound and pain bigger than anything, a funnel of burning heat splitting me in two, something searing and scorching and tearing, and if screaming were a feeling it would be this.

"How'd he die?"
Warren sighed.  "A dragon ate him"

~Grip of the Shadow Plague by Brandon Mull

"The chairs were filled with Dullsville High promgoers getting makeovers, haircuts, and pedicures.  All heads - being cut, blow-dried, and colored - turned toward me as if I (clad in tight black zippered shorts, black tights, Frankenstein boots, and a Gothique T-shirt) wasn't worthy of entering the salon.
