❝I could never stay long enough on the shore; the tang of the untainted, fresh, and free sea air was like a cool, quieting thought.❞ —Helen Keller

"Tinkerbell, I need help."

"THAT'S SUCH A GOOD BOOK!"

"..."

"You're always supposed to read the books first, you hypocrite."

"Have you actually read any books at all?"

"Wow, I'm impressed actually. That's more than I expected from you--seven books and all."

"Oh my gosh. Do you live under a rock?"

"But you seriously can't tell me you've only read the first Harry Potter book!"

"So you just... never finished the series."

"Nope."

"Spoiler alert. Dumbledore dies."

"I knew that."

"Dude... compared to the entire series, so LITTLE happens in the first two books! Does anyone actually even die? I can't remember."

"Who is that again?"

"Oh, you mean, with YOU in the back of his head?"

"Hmm well, sorry. Tom Riddle was pretty hot though."

"You know, if you would just tell me what your actual name is, I wouldn't compare you to Voldemort!"

"Does being compared to a tiny, uptight blonde fairy in a rather revealing green dress appeal to you?"

"I tell it like it is, Tink."

"I could still call you Tinkerbell if it really means that much to you... I just want to know what your actual name is."

"Why are you so obnoxious?"

"BUT I NEED HELP--"
