These were sent by a friend. I haven't doublechecked them, but the page number is listed for where the words appear.

:blink:

 

"What d'you mean, I'm not brave in bed?" said Harry, completely nonplussed. (14)

 

"...I know you did Mark Evans two nights ago --"

"He was asking for it," snarled Dudley. (13)

 

"I heard you last night," said Dudley breathlessly. "Talking in your sleep. Moaning." (15)

 

"Ah well...wand still in your jeans?" (53)

 

"JUST BECAUSE YOU'RE ALLOWED TO USE MAGIC NOW YOU DON'T HAVE TO WHIP YOUR WAND OUT FOR EVERY TINY LITTLE THING!" (84)

 

"You two just Apparated on my knees!"

"Yeah, well, it's harder in the dark --" (97)

 

"There was a groan of bedsprings, and Harry's mattress descended a few inches as George sat down near his feet.

"So, got there yet?" said George eagerly. (100)

 

"...screwing up her eyes each time with the same pained expression she had worn back in Harry's bedroom." (85)

 

"Ron was lying sprawled on his back with his mouth wide open." (121)

 

"Quite astonishing, the way you contrive to wriggle out of very tight holes." (154)

 

"He's having a go at my mother!" Seamus yelled. (218)

 

"Or any part of your body, really, we're not fussy where we stick this." (343)

 

"...when it appears, it is always equipped for the seeker's needs. Dobby has used it, sir," said the elf, dropping his voice and looking guilty, "when Winky has been very drunk." (387)

 

"She's somethin' when she's roused, Olympe...fiery, you know...'spect it's the French in her..." (432)

 

"He was rather taller than Snape, who, Harry noticed, had balled his fist in the pocket of his cloak over what Harry was sure was the handle of his wand." (520)

 

"Stand up and take out your wand, Potter." (533)

 

"I thought not," said Snape, watching him closely. "You let me get in too far. You lost control." (535)

 

"Manners, Potter," said Snape dangerously. "Now, I want you to close your eyes."

Harry threw him a filthy look before doing as he was told. He did not like the idea of standing there with his eyes shut while Snape faced him, carrying a wand. (535)

 

"He was on all fours again on Snape's office floor." (536)

 

"Ron wrenched the hangings apart, and Harry stared up at him in the moonlight, as he lay flat on his back." (586)

 

"Yeah, Montague tried to do us during break," said George.

"What do you mean, 'tried'?" said Ron quickly. (627)

 

"Well, we'll soon find out, won't we?" said Snape smoothly. "Wand out, Potter."

Harry moved into his usual position... (638)

 

"But whether James really did take off Snape's pants, Harry never found out." (649)

 

"...did things with a wand I've never seen before..." (711)

Reader Submissions:

 

"Sirius pushed his chair roughly aside and strode around the table towards Snape, whipping his wand out as he went; Snape whipped out his own." (531)

 

"Snape eyed Harry, tracing his mouth with one long, thin finger as he did so." (531)

Kathy Duncan

 

"Well?" said Ron finally, looking up at Harry. "How was it?" Harry considered for a moment.

"Wet." He said truthfully. (458)

Christina Campagna

 

"What did he do to you, Diddy?" Aunt Pentunia said in a quavering voice, now sponging sick from the front of Dudley's leather jacket. "Was it-- was it you-know-what, darling? Did he use-- his thing?" (26)

Lucy Sullivan

 

"He bit hard on his pillow, to stop himself from making a noise." (518)

rivier

 

"Running to Daddy now, are you? Is his ickle boxing champ frightened of nasty Harry's wand?" (14)

 

Harry snorted. He walked around the room again, looking anywhere but at Ron and Hermione. "So what have you two been doing if you're not allowed in meetings?" he demanded. "You said you'd been busy." (68)

 

"Say hello to him [Hagrid] for us!" called Hermione, as Harry proceeded down the ward. "And ask him what's happening about...about his little friend!" (850)

Aquilus Veritas

 

"... every part of him screaming for release, Harry felt the creature use him again..." (720)

 

"Fred and George were looking particularly annoyed; both were bandy-legged and winced with each movement..." (337)

 

"Don't put your wand there, boy!" roared Moody. (48)

"He was now looking at Zacharias as though he would like nothing better than to thump him." (343)

Misticblu23@aol.com

 

...and Fred, George, and Ginny were doing a kind of war dance to a chant that went "He got off, he got off, he got off...." (156)

Judith Edelstein

 

"He came last night, when you were in bed," said Mr. Weasley. (120)

Harry Potter and the Raging Hormones:

 

"He let out a long, slow breath and stared up at the brilliant blue sky. Every day this summer had been the same: the tension, the expectation, the temporary relief, and then mounting tension again...and always, growing more insistent all the time, the question of why nothing had happened yet." (9)

Sarah

 

A gem from the British edition:

 

"Anyway, its a nightmare of a year, the fifth," said George. "If you care about exam results, anyway. Fred and I managed to keep our peckers up somehow."

Frood Fade

 

"He [Harry] tried to eat, but it was like chewing carpet." (122)

LaraGoth

 

Put that away, will you?" said Sirius finally, as James made a fine catch and Wormtail let out a cheer. "Before Wormtail wets himself from excitement." (645)

Maria

 

"I see," said Uncle Vernon, looking from his white-faced wife to Harry and hitching up his trousers. He seemed to be swelling... (38)

Chrystina Riggs

 

"'Don't kill Cedric! Don't kill Cedric!' Who's Cedric -- your boyfriend?" (15)

Maggie

 

"Ha ha ha, Harry, look at it--" said Ron, watching it disgorge its gaudy innards. "Harry, come and touch it, bet it's weird--"..."Harry, look what's happen--no--no, I don't like it--no, stop--stop--" (798)

Jerry Jordan

 

"Kreacher won't *quite* as devoted to him as to my mother, but I still caught him snogging a pair of my father's old trousers last week." (108, UK edition)

Claire Hennessy

 

"One more lesson like that and I might just do a Weasley." (676)

Singe

 

"That was me," he said. "I was slashed..." (289, UK edition)

Hnk

 

"...which left Harry free to sit down on the grass between the beech and the bushes and watch the foursome under the tree." (644)

 

"Kreacher was disappearing through the door to the hall, looking back at them malevolently as he hitched up his loincloth..." (475)

VagueWings@aol.com

 

"Harry's heart began to pump very fast indeed. Defence against external penetration?" (458)

Niuserre

 

...She pressed hard on the top of his head. "Doesnt it ever lie flat?" she said desperately. Harry shook his head. (123)

AgonizingMercy@aol.com

 

"Panting, Harry fell forwards over the hydrangea bush, straightened up and stared around. There were several faces peering trough various nearby windows. Harry stuffed his wand hastily back into his jeans and tried to look innocent." (10)

Mino

 

"He and all the other Weasleys froze on the threshold, gazing at the scene in front of them, which was also suspended in mid-action, both Sirius and Snape looking toward the door with their wands pointing into each other's faces and Harry immobile between them..." (521)

Neli Aldrich

 

"We're not going to use magic," Ron ejaculated loudly. (242)

Milly

 

"I don't think private matters between myself and the Minister are any concern of yours, Potter," said Malfoy, smoothing the front of his robes. Harry distinctly heard the gentle clinking of what sounded like a full pocket of gold. "Really, just because you are Dumbledore's favourite boy, you must not expect the same indulgence from the rest of us...shall we go up to your office, then, Minister?" (141, UK edition)
