I heard you went to live with Muggles, said Ron. What are they like? Horrible. | Buddy | |
Well, not all of them. My aunt and uncle and cousin are though. | Buddy | |
Wish I'd had three wizard brothers. Five, said Ron. | Buddy | |
For some reason he was looking gloomy. I'm the sixth in our family to go to Hogwarts. | Buddy | |
You could say I've got a lot to live up to. Bill and Charlie have already left. | Buddy | |
Bill was head boy and Charlie was captain of Quidditch. Now Percy's a prefect. | Buddy | |
Fred and George mess around a lot, | Buddy | |
but they still get really good marks and everyone thinks they're really funny. | Buddy | |
Everyone expects me to do as well as the others, but if I do, | Buddy | |
it's no big deal because they did it first. | Buddy | |
You never get anything new either with five brothers. | Buddy | |
I've got Bill's old robes, Charlie's old wand and Percy's old rat. | Buddy | |
Ron reached inside his jacket and pulled out a fat gray rat which was asleep. | Buddy | |
His name's Scabbers and he's useless. He hardly ever wakes up. | Buddy | |
Percy got an owl from my dad for being made a prefect, but they couldn't afford. | Buddy | |
I mean, I got Scabbers instead. Ron's ears went pink. | Buddy | |
He seemed to think he'd said too much because he went back to staring out of the window. | Buddy | |
Hairy didn't think there was anything wrong with not being able to afford an owl. | Buddy | |
And after all, he'd never had any money in his life until a month ago. | Buddy | |
This seemed to cheer Ron up, and until Hagrid told me, | Buddy | |
I didn't know anything about being a wizard or about my parents or Voldemort. | Buddy | |
Ron gasped. What? Said Hairy. You said you know who's name? | Buddy | |
Said Ron, sounding both shocked and impressed. I'd have thought you of all people. | Buddy | |
I'm not trying to be brave or anything, saying the name said Hairy. I just never knew. | Buddy | |
You shouldn't see what I mean. I've got loads to learn. I bet. | Buddy | |
He added, voicing for the first time something that had been worrying him a lot lately. | Buddy | |
I bet I'm the worst in the class. You won't be. | Buddy | |
There's loads of people who come from Muggle families and they learn quick enough. | Buddy | |
While they had been talking, the train had carried them out of London. | Buddy | |
Now they were speeding past fields full of cows and sheep. | Buddy | |
They were quiet for a time, watching the fields and lanes flick past. | Buddy | |
Around half past 12 there was a great clattering outside in the corridor and a smiling, | Buddy | |
dimpled woman slid back their door and said, anything off the cart, dears. | Buddy | |
Harry, who hadn't had any breakfast, | Buddy | |
Hairy went out into the corridor. | Buddy | |
But the woman didn't have Mars bars. | Buddy | |
What she did have were Bertie Bot's Every Flavor Beans, Droobal's Best Blowing Gum, | Buddy | |
Chocolate Frogs, Pumpkin Pasties, Cauldron Cakes, Licorice wands, | Buddy | |
and a number of other strange things Harry had never seen in his life. | Buddy | |
Not wanting to miss anything, | Buddy | |
Hungry, are you? Starving, said Hairy, | Buddy | |
taking a large bite out of a pumpkin pasty. | Buddy | |
Ron had taken out a lumpy package and unwrapped it. There were four sandwiches inside. | Buddy | |
He pulled one of them apart and said, she always forgets I don't like corned beef. | Buddy | |
Swap you for one of these, said Hairy, holding up a pasty. | Buddy | |
Go on, you don't want this. It's all dry, said Ron. | Buddy | |
She hasn't got much time, he added quickly. You know, with five of us. | Buddy | |
Go on, have a pasty, said Harry, who had never had anything to share before, | Buddy | |
or indeed anyone to share it with. | Buddy | |
It was a nice feeling, sitting there with Ron, eating their way through all Harry's pasties, | Buddy | |
cakes and candies. The sandwiches lay forgotten. What are these Hairy? | Buddy | |
Asked Ron, holding up a pack of chocolate Frogs. They're not really frogs, are they? | Buddy | |
He was starting to feel that nothing would surprise him. No, said Ron. | Buddy | |
But see what the card is I'm missing. Agrippa. What? | Buddy | |
Oh, of course you wouldn't know. Chocolate frogs have cards inside them. | Buddy | |
You know, to collect famous witches and wizards. | Buddy | |
I've got about 500, but I haven't got Agrippa or Ptolemy. | Buddy | |
Harry unwrapped his chocolate frog and picked up the card. It showed a man's face. | Buddy | |
He wore half moon glasses, | Buddy | |
had a long crooked nose and flowing silver hair, beard and mustache. | Buddy | |
Underneath the picture was the name Albus Dumbledore. | Buddy | |
So this is Dumbledore, said Harry. | Buddy | |
Don't tell me you'd never heard of Dumbledore, Said Ron. Can I have a frog? | Buddy | |
I might get Agrippa. Thanks. | Buddy | |
Considered by many the greatest wizard of modern times, | Buddy | |
With his partner Nicolas Flamau, | Buddy | |
Professor Dumbledore enjoys chamber music and ten pin bowling. | Buddy | |
He's gone. Well, you can't expect him to hang around all day, said Ron. | Buddy | |
He'll be back. No, I've got Morgana again and I've got about six of her. | Buddy | |
Do you want it? You can start collecting. | Buddy | |
Ron's eyes strayed to the pile of chocolate frogs waiting to be unwrapped. | Buddy | |
Help yourself, said Hairy. | Buddy | |
But in, you know, the Muggle world, people just stay put in photos. Do they? | Buddy | |
What? They don't move at all? Ron sounded amazed. Weird. | Buddy | |
Ron was more interested in eating the frogs than looking at the famous witches and wizards cards, | Buddy | |
but Hairi couldn't keep his eyes off them. | Buddy | |
Soon he had not only Dumbledore and Morgana, but Hengist of Woodcroft, | Buddy | |
Albert Grunion, Cersei, Paracelsus and Merlin. | Buddy | |
Every flavor beans. You wanna be careful with those, Ron warned Hairi. | Buddy | |
When they say every flavor, they mean every flavor. | Buddy | |
You know you get all the ordinary ones like chocolate and peppermint and marmalade, | Buddy | |
but then you can get spinach and liver and tripe. | Buddy | |
George reckons he had a booger flavored one. | Buddy | |
Once Ron picked up a green bean, looked at it carefully and bit into a corner. | Buddy | |
Bleh. See? | Buddy | |
They had a good time eating the every flavor beans. | Buddy | |
Hairy got toast, coconut baked bean, strawberry, curry grass, | Buddy | |
coffee, sardine, | Buddy | |
and was even brave enough to nibble the end off a funny gray one Ron wouldn't touch, | Buddy | |
which turned out to be Pepper. The countryside now flying past the window was becoming wilder. | Buddy | |
The neat fields had gone. | Buddy | |
Now there were woods, twisting rivers and dark green hills. | Buddy | |
He looked tearful. Sorry, he said, but have you seen a toad at all? | Buddy | |
When they shook their heads he wailed, I've lost him. He keeps getting away from me. | Buddy | |
He'll turn up, said Hairy. Yes, said the boy miserably. | Buddy | |
Well, if you see him. He left. Don't know why he's so bothered, said Ron. | Buddy | |
If I brought a toad I'd lose it as quick as I could. | Buddy | |
Mind you, I brought scabbers so I can't talk. | Buddy | |
The rat was still snoozing on Ron's lap. | Buddy | |
He might have died and you wouldn't know the difference, said Ron in disgust. | Buddy |
