"Very well, Mrs. Shust ..." He put back his teacup. "What can this young man do?"
"I-I lost someone," squeaked Mrs. Shust. She shivered a little.
"Ah ..."
Jerry frowned. He paused for a moment as turned his gaze to the window of the room for awhile. Jerry returned to look at Mrs. Shust. He nodded.
"All right, let's see-"
"His name is Brian Shust, Brian Jeremiah Shust" interrupted Mrs. Shust hurry. "Please ..."
"Okay, Brian Shust." Jerry nodded. He smiled. "I got you, Mrs. Shust."
"Oh," Mrs. Shust calmed down. "Thank God."
While Mrs. Shust calm down, Jerry stared at the pile of books in one corner of the table. His jaw twitched doubtfully. He looked at Mrs. Shust again.
"But I have no guarantees, Madame. My specialty is not in finding missing persons." Jerry's shoulders and eyebrows shot low, "I'm just a philosophical addict? And ... I suggest you go to a private investigator. I have a list of recommendations for that one."
Mrs. Shust shook her head firmly. "No, please. I trust you. Please find my son ..."

Lustful ; Draco Malfoy
"Someone's being nosey again..." Draco dragged his words out, pulling my face closer to his. His finger was digging into my jaw and chin, causing me to squint my eyes at the pain. "Did you not learn from last night?" He hissed at me. I didn't dare move under his fingertips. The back of my eyes only stung more and more. Draco's hand travelled from my jaw to the back of my neck where he fisted some of my hair. He was looking at me, waiting for me to say something. "And..." He went on, sighing. " You still haven't told me why you're here, orphan." Draco was tugging on my hair so I was forced to look at him. His eyebrows were raised. "I thought you were-," "You thought I was what?" He started smirking again. "I thought you were seeing Astoria..." I barely whispered. Draco rolled his eyes at me and let go of my hair, turning to face the vanishing cabinet. He let out a few chuckles, resting his arm above his head against the cabinet. "Why did you think I was seeing Astoria?" Draco turned to face me again, now crossing his arms in front of his chest. I couldn't get any words out. "You must've had a good reason." He said in an amusing tone. "I don't know." I huffed. "You don't know?" He replied straight away. "You do know." Draco was walking towards me again, and he looked like he was about to laugh again. "Why do I find it hard to believe that you don't know?" He grits out.Complete

"Tell me, Regulus," James replied, leaning even more forward, his eyes on him. James' eyes seemed darker during the night. In the day, when they would see each other during meals, his brown eyes would look lighter. "First of all, I don't shine," he started, looking to the sky. That day, there was no clouds in the sky. "Wrong," James cut him quickly in his tracks. "You are." "What are you talking about." "There is gold on your clothes," James said, eyeing at Regulus coat. "And when you smile, the night is over," he added with that charming smile of his, looking right into Regulus' eyes. And Regulus scoffed, shaking his head. "It doesn't count." "It does," James just answered. ----- ENGLISH ISN'T MY FIRST LANGUAGE SO THERE MIGHT BE MISTAKES.Complete

Like we could catch fire and burn to the ground at any second. "Did you take your own advice? Did you ever forgive yourself?" I whispered, my words evaporating in the heat around us. He moved towards me, trapping me against the car door as his lips traced over my jaw, down to my neck. "This," he whispered, his thumb tracing the waistband of my jeans, making my breathing falter. "Allowing myself to feel this happiness, to feel you...this is me forgiving myself." He kissed me, calming the raging storm in me and igniting a new one. I wasn't sure which would cause more destruction, but I knew only one had pretty blue eyes and a effortless smile that could convince me it was all worth it. It probably was.Complete
