George looked up in time to see Malfoy pretending to faint with terror again.
"That little git," he detto calmly. "He wasn't so cocky last night when the dementors were down our end of the train. Came running into our compartment, didn't he, Fred?"
"Nearly wet himself," detto Fred, with a contemptuous glance at Malfoy.
------------------------------------------
Percy had what were possibly the least helpful words of comfort.
"They make a fuss about Hogsmeade, but I assure you, Harry, it's not all it's cracked up to be," he detto seriously. "All right, the sweetshop's rather good, and Zonko's Joke Shop's frankly dangerous, and yes, the Shrieking Shack is always worth a visit, but really, Harry, apart from that, you're not missing anything."
------------------------------------------
As though an invisible hand were Scrivere upon it, words appeared on the smooth surface of the map. "Mr. Moony presents his compliments to Professor Snape, and begs him to keep his abnormally large nose out of other people's business."
Snape froze. Harry stared, dumbstruck, at the message. But the map didn't stop there. più Scrivere was appearing beneath the first.
"Mr. Prongs agrees with Mr. Moony, and would like to add that Professor Snape is an ugly git."
It would have been funny if the situation hadn't been so serious. And there was more...
"Mr. Padfoot would like to register his astonishment that an idiot like that ever became a professor."
Harry closed his eyes in horror. When he'd opened them, the map had had its last word.
"Mr. Wormtail bids Professor Snape good day, and advises him to wash his hair, the slimeball."
------------------------------------------
Ron was staring at Pettigrew with the utmost revulsion.
"I let te sleep in my bed!" he said.
------------------------------------------
"Sure te can manage that broom, Potter?" detto a cold, drawling voice.
Draco Malfoy had arrived for a closer look, Crabbe and Goyle right behind him.
"Yeah, reckon so," detto Harry casually.
"Got plenty of special features, hasn't it?" detto Malfoy, eyes glittering maliciously. "Shame it doesn't come with a parachute - in case te get too near a Dementor."
Crabbe and Goyle sniggered.
"Pity te can't attach an extra arm to yours, Malfoy," detto Harry. "Then it could catch the Snitch for you."
------------------------------------------
"Well...when we were in our first year, Harry-young, carefree, and innocent-"
Harry snorted. He doubted whether Fred and George had ever been innocent.
------------------------------------------
(Harry, just being greeted da Percy) "Harry!" detto Fred, elbowing Percy out of the way and bowing deeply. "Simply splendid to see you, old boy-"
"Marvelous," detto George, pushing Fred aside and seizing Harry's hand in turn. "Absolutely spiffing." Percy scowled.
"That's enough, now," detto Mrs. Weasley.
"Mum!" detto Fred as though he'd only just spotted her and seized her hand too. "How really corking to see you-"
------------------------------------------
Trelawney: "Would anyone like me to help interpret the shadowy realms within their orb?"
Ron: "I don't need help, it's obvious what this means: there's going to be loads of fog tonight."
------------------------------------------
"How're we getting to King's attraversare, croce tomorrow, Dad?" asked Fred as they dug into a sumptuous pudding.
"The Ministry's providing a couple of cars," detto Mr. Weasley.
Everyone looked up at him.
"Why?" detto Percy curiously.
"It's because of you, Perce," detto George seriously. "And there'll be little flags on the hoods, with HB on them-"
"-for Humongous Bighead," detto Fred.
------------------------------------------
"Where is Wood?" detto Harry, suddenly realizing he wasn't there.
"Still in the showers," detto Fred. "We think he's trying to drown himself."
------------------------------------------
"Professor Dumbledore - yesterday, when I was having my Divination exam, Professor Trelawney went very - very strange."
"Indeed?" detto Dumbledore. "Er - stranger than usual, te mean?"
George looked up in time to see Malfoy pretending to faint with terror again.
