Maybe then she wouldn’t be sitting alone at the table eating dinner while Mommy had to work three jobs just to pay for the small two-roomed apartment. Maybe then she’d have a family.

Every time the thunder would roll, she felt it in the marrow of her bones, as if nature understood the deep agony she held inside of her and it was being reverberated throughout the environment as well.

Regina took the small box from Fred, slid her finger under the paper and carefully unwrapped it. She slipped the lid of the box off and stared at the exquisite dragon hair clip with matching earrings. The dragons were made out of jade and edged with gold. The hair clip was large enough to hold Regina's hair in a high ponytail but small enough to hold a small amount of her hair away from her face. She pulled the earrings from the box and removed her small gold studs to put her new earrings on. The dragon earrings dangled about an inch from her earlobes. They swung with each turn of her head.

Percy Weasly must undo the wrongs he made before it is too late!

"A fine line runs between almost everything in life. Sometimes we choose to cross that line, and other times we're pushed across it. And on occasion, that line is broken entirely, taking the choice out of anyone's hands. I didn't like any of the situations. If I chose to cross it myself, then that would mean that I was responsible for what I had done. If I had no choice in the matter, then at least I'd be able to blame someone else, and then, just maybe, no one would blame me. I had no such luck."

This is a parody. What if Harry Potter was an American red neck cowboy? This is an exercise in learning how to write dialogue different from the normal English language. The British readers may have problems with it. I was also trying to develop dialogue which suggests sensual themes, but does not define them. What is really going on is in the minds of the reader. Overall, intense romance, strong sexual content, and a lot of humor, I hope. The story got the best of me. It was only supposed to be about six pages. I feel bad about writing it and I don't suggest you read it.

Dear Diary, Bill handed me this book and told me to write in it. He said I needed it… But the last time I had a diary, it didn’t really work out for me. But Bill told me he bought this in a Muggle bookshop, so I know that there won’t be any incarnates of You-Know-Who hiding it in. Anyway, I just started my sixth year at Hogwarts last week. Harry finally asked me out (hurrah! It’s been long enough). We haven’t had a chance to go on the date yet, but a Hogsmeade weekend is coming up soon. I can’t wait! -Ginny
