The trouble was, it was very hard to know where to

Magical Names of Our Time; he was missing, too, from Important Modern
Magical Discoveries, and A Study of Recent Developments in Wizardry.

Unfortunately, you needed a specially signed note from one of the
teachers to look in any of the restricted books, and he knew he'd never
get one.

Once the holidays had started, Ron and Harry were having too good a time
to think much about Flamel.

They had the dormitory to themselves and the
common room was far emptier than usual, so they were able to get the
good armchairs by the fire.

and
|
and that

They sat by the hour eating anything they
could spear on a toasting fork -- bread, English muffins, marshmallows
-- and plotting ways of getting Malfoy expelled, which were fun to talk
about even if they wouldn't work.

day for the food and the fun, but not expecting any presents at all.

When he woke early in the morning, however, the first thing he saw was a
