”yes, yes, that's right,” said professor flitwig
at harry. ”prall told me all about the special

”a nimbus two thousand, sit,” said harry, fighting not to laugh
at the look of horror on malfoy's fad it's really thanks to
malfoy here that i've got it,” he added.
harry aairs, sm their laughter at
malfoy's e and . ”well, it's true,” harry
chortled as they reached the top of the marble staircase, ”if he
hadn't stolen neville's remembrall i wouleam....”

”i thought you weren't speaking to us?” said harry.
”yes, don't stop now,” said ron, ”it's doing us so much good.”
hermione marched away with her he air.
harry had a lot of trouble keeping his mind ohat
day. it kept wao the dormitory where his ick
