Quotes from HP books:
"Then you should have died! Died rather than betray your friends, as we would've done for you!"
-Sirius Black, HP POA
"Indeed, your failure to understand that there are things much worse than death has always been your greatest weakness."
-Albus Dumbledore, HP OOTP
"You know," said Sirius loudly, leaning back on his rear chair legs and speaking to the ceiling, "I think I'd prefer it if you didn't give orders here, Snape. It's my house, you see."
- Sirius Black, HP OOTP
And I'll see Sirius again...
- Harry Potter, HP OOTP

A lot of fan fics on multiple sites.

Other sites I can be found on: Death-Curse Storyboards and Death-Curse Storyboard Forums occaissionally. I read on many different sites, namely, , Schnoogle, The Sugar Quill, and Sink Into Your Eyes.

Chapter Progress: The statement, "The next chapter of Orange Crush is not even started. I don't expect it to be done for quite a while," still stands. The statement, "I will try to write over the weekend a bit..." is in the gutter because I haven't written for weeks and weeks... eek. I'm sorry. I have other stuff to do, though. I promise this summer (which for me is coming quickly!) I will start writing more.

Do drop by for a read in your spare time!
