'He tried,' said Tonks, striding over to help Bill and immediately toppling a candle on to the last piece of parchment. 'Oh no - sorry - ''Shame. I really fancied finding out what old Snape's been up to.' ( 2020-01-28 )

'Bill doesn't like him, either,' said Ginny, as though that settled the matter.'It's worth the risk, that's a major meeting they're having,' said red. ( 2020-01-28 )

'It would have taken you about thirty seconds longer to walk down the stairs,' said Ron.'Tonks told me how to find out,' said Ginny. 'You just chuck stuff at the door and if it can't make contact the door's been Imperturbed. I've been flicking Dungbombs at it from the top of the stairs and they just soar away from it, so there's no way the Extendable Ears will be able to get under the gap.' ( 2020-01-28 )

'Shame. I really fancied finding out what old Snape's been up to.''No,' Harry lied defiantly. He walked away from them, looking around, with Hedwig nestled contentedly on his shoulder, but this room was not likely to raise his spirits. It was dank and dark.

'We have,' said Hermione quickly. 'We've been decontaminating this house, it's been empty for ages and stuff's been breeding in here. We've managed to clean out the kitchen, most of the bedrooms and I think we're doing the drawing room tomo- AARGH!''Is Bill here?' he asked. 'I thought he was working in Egypt?' ( 2020-01-28 )

'Is anyone going to bother telling me what the Order of the Phoenix - ?''For the last time, Mundungus,' called Mrs Weasley, 'will you please not smoke that thing in the kitchen, especially not when we're about to eat!' ( 2020-01-28 )

'OK, you know she wrote that you were collapsing all over the place and saying your scar was hurting and all that?''He could still've kept me informed if he'd wanted to,' Harry said shortly. 'You're not telling me he doesn't know ways to send messages without owls.' ( 2020-01-28 )
