I took the one less travelled by,
And that has made all the difference
Robert Frost "The Road Not Taken"
Quirrell
You may ask yourself why I love him or what I think of him, because most people who I meet do. Unfortunately I run out of words. Perhaps you will forgive me if I turn from my own feelings to the poetry of real artists who are better in words than I am.
This is actually what I want to say:
It was on May 11, 2002 when the DVD was released and I nearly had to kill someone to have one DVD reserved for me. I wanted to be sure to get it, although I didn't know what treasure this film held for me.
It was also the day I was visited by soem friends, but they refused to watch the film that evening. So when they left I watched it by myself and after 18 minutes I saw Quirrell. I give in that I looked out for him in the Leaky Cauldron, because I knew he was the villain. But as soon as I looked into his eyes I simply thought: "This angel can never be the villain! They made a mistake!"
I didn't realize that something has happened to me right there, so I watched the film the next day and the day after that, too, and all of a sudden I noticed that I watched it for one reason only - Quirrell!
That's how it started ...
How you looked the night we met
I recall your laughter and your smile
I remember
How you made me feel so at ease
I remember all your grace, your style
And now you're all I want to see
You've come to mean so much to me

In the end I can say it all began like a Harry Potter story, but it turned out to be a Quirrell fanfiction
In August 2002 I started another Quirrell story, but I haven't finished it yet. I will keep you posted!
And the answer to all of my dreams
You're my sun, my moon, my guiding star
My kind of wonderful - that's what you are
