Then the puppy he saved comes up and starts licking him, and Mister starts rubbing up against him too, almost as if to comfort him. Then, Mister starts batting at the puppy and Harry laughs.

--->The aching, lonely old hurt was overflowing me. But I suddenly found myself laughing. I had seen my mother with my Sight. I had seen her smile, heard her voice, and it was something I could never lose. Something no one could ever take away from me. It couldn't wholly make up for a lifetime of loneliness and silent grief, but it was more than I ever thought I would have.

* When Kincaid draws on Ebenezar, Harry steps between them, and tells Kincaid that the latter isn't worth anything compared to Ebenezar. It shows just how much Harry respects and looks up to Ebenezar, making the BrokenPedestal hit all the harder.
* Ebenezar takes care of Harry's hand, and shows extreme reluctance to tell Harry about being [[spoiler: the Blackstaff]]. He may be a grouchy old man, but it's very clear that he cares deeply for his student in return, and respects him immensely.

Added DiffLines:

* Harry gently prodding Murphy to talk about her issues with her family, as he instantly notices she's on edge and even though he has almost no experience with family, he's more than willing to try to help out.
* Harry and Marion Murphy's conversation, made even more special by the fact that this is their ''first time ever meeting''. It's so very sincere the whole time. Harry goes out of his way to remain respectful towards her while he disagrees with how she sees what Murphy does.
-->'''Marion''': Will you take care of my daughter?
-->'''Harry''': Yes, ma'am. Of course I will.
* Harry seeing Murphy in a dress for the first time perfectly straddles "utterly adorable" and "absolutely hilarious." And then there's the scene later on where she's feeling uncertain and he gently compliments how it looks on her, thereby cheering her up.
** And YMMV, but Harry's GreenEyedEpiphany when Kincaid takes off Murphy's pants can be seen as heartwarming since it's basically the first time he consciously realizes he has romantic feelings for Murphy.

* In a twisted way, [[ProfessionalKiller Kincaid]] mentioning that he actually kind of likes Harry.

* During Harry's sparring session with Murphy, she suggests old Detective Malone's nephew, whom we just saw spar against Murphy, as possible muscle for the raid on the Black Court. Harry refuses, not wanting to cause that particular family anymore pain. The HeartWarming, though, comes from Murphy's explanation that the kid knows what Harry did for his uncle, and would walk through fire for him...

-->I laughed. I couldn't help it. The world might be vicious and treacherous and deadly, but it couldn't kill laughter. Laughter, like love, has power to survive the worst things life has to offer. And to do it with style.
