Hello everyone! My name is Shira and you're listening to the Let's Rehaery Potter Podcast,
spk_0
where I, your host, will read each chapter of every book of the Haery Potter series.
spk_0
In the previous episode we read Chapter 6, Gildroy Lockhart.
spk_0
In this episode, you'll be reading Chapter 7, Mod Bloods and Murmurs.
spk_0
So without further ado, let's begin!
spk_0
Chapter 7, Mod Bloods and Murmurs.
spk_0
Haery spent a lot of time over the next few days dodging out of sight
spk_0
wherever he saw Gildroy Lockhart, coming down the corridor.
spk_0
Her to avoid was Colin Crevy, who seemed to have memorized Haery's timetable.
spk_0
Nothing seemed to give Colin a bigger thrill than to say,
spk_0
or a Haery, six seven times a day in here.
spk_0
Hello Colin, back.
spk_0
However, exasperated Haery's son and when he said it.
spk_0
Headwink was still angry with Haery about the disastrous car journey
spk_0
and Ron's wand was still malfunction.
spk_0
So he passed himself on Friday morning by shooting out of Ron's hand in charge
spk_0
and hitting tiny old professor Flipwick, squarely between the eyes,
spk_0
creating a large, dropping green oil where it had struck.
spk_0
So with one thing and another, Haery was quite glad to reach the weekend.
spk_0
He ran on our mind and we were planning however to visit Haery on Saturday morning.
spk_0
Haery however was shaking awake several hours earlier than he would have liked by Oliver Wood,
spk_0
captain of the Gryffindor Quidditch team.
spk_0
What's the matter?
spk_0
It's a hairy grubbly.
spk_0
Quidditch practice said wood.
spk_0
Come on!
spk_0
Haery's went in at the window.
spk_0
There's a thin mist hanging across the pink and gold star.
spk_0
Now he was awake.
spk_0
He couldn't understand how he could have slept through the racket the birds were making.
spk_0
Oliver, haircut.
spk_0
It's the crack of dawn.
spk_0
Exactly.
spk_0
Said wood.
spk_0
He was a tall and berly six-year and at the moment his eyes were gleaming with mad enthusiasm.
spk_0
It's part of a new training program.
spk_0
Come on!
spk_0
Grab your brumps and let's go.
spk_0
Said wood heartily.
spk_0
None of the other teams have started training yet.
spk_0
We went through the first of the month this year.
spk_0
Yawning and shivering slightly, Haery climbed out of the bed and tried to find his Quidditch Roads.
spk_0
Good man.
spk_0
Said wood.
spk_0
Meaturing the pitch in 15 minutes.
spk_0
When he found his scarlet team Roads and pulled on his clothes for a while.
spk_0
Haery's real wood out in a note to Ron explaining where he'd gone and went down to the spiral suitcase in the common room.
spk_0
His name is 2000 and on his shoulder he had just reached the portrait hole when there was a clatter behind him.
spk_0
And Colin Crevy came dashing down the spiral shaped case.
spk_0
His camera swaying loudly on his neck and suddenly his question was hand.
spk_0
What if someone's saying your name on this desk?
spk_0
Hurry!
spk_0
Look what I've got here!
spk_0
I've got a developed and I want to show you.
spk_0
Haery looked bramously at the photograph Colin was brandishing under his nose.
spk_0
I'm moving.
spk_0
Black and white lock heart was tidying on it on arm.
spk_0
Haery recognized as zone.
spk_0
He was pleased to see that his photographic self was putting up a good fight on refusing to be dragged into view.
spk_0
As Haery watched, lock heart gave up and slammed, panting against the white edge of the picture.
spk_0
Well you sign it!
spk_0
Said Colin you really?
spk_0
No.
spk_0
Said Harry fatly.
spk_0
Listening around to check that the room was deserted.
spk_0
So I called him and I'm in a hurry, quit his practice.
spk_0
He climbed to the portrait hole.
spk_0
Oh wow wait for me!
spk_0
I've never watched a footage game before.
spk_0
Colin's scrambled through the hole after him.
spk_0
It's really boring.
spk_0
Haery's a bully but Colin ignored him.
spk_0
His face shining with excitement.
spk_0
He was the youngest house player in hundreds of years.
spk_0
Why don't you hurry?
spk_0
Why don't you?
spk_0
Said Colin trying alongside him.
spk_0
Must be brilliant.
spk_0
I've never flown.
spk_0
Is it easy?
spk_0
Is that your own room?
spk_0
Is that the best one there is?
spk_0
Haery didn't know how to get rid of him.
spk_0
It was like having an extremely talkative shadow.
spk_0
I don't really understand Quidditch.
spk_0
Said Colin breathing.
spk_0
Isn't sure that they have four balls and two of them fly around trying to knock people off their rooms?
spk_0
Yes.
spk_0
Said Harry heavily.
spk_0
Resigned to explain the complicated rules of Quidditch.
spk_0
They're called bledgers.
spk_0
And two beaters on each team.
spk_0
They carry clubs to beat the bledgers away from their side.
spk_0
For enjoys weasley are the crew from the repeaters.
spk_0
And one of the other balls fall.
spk_0
Colin asked tripping down a couple of steps because he was gazing open enough at Harry.
spk_0
Well, the quaffle.
spk_0
The biggest reddish one.
spk_0
Is the one that scores goals.
spk_0
Three traces on each team feel like a ball full.
spk_0
To each other and try to get it through the goal post at the end of the pitch.
spk_0
There are three long pulls with hoops on the end.
spk_0
And the fourth ball is the goal in the snatch.
spk_0
It's very small, very fast and difficult to catch.
spk_0
But that's what the seeker's got to do.
spk_0
Because I'm going to have Quidditch just for end until the snatch has been caught.
spk_0
And whichever team seeker gets the snatch and the sustainment extra 150 points.
spk_0
And you're the Griffin of Seeker aren't you?
spk_0
Said Colin and R.
spk_0
Yes.
spk_0
Said R.
spk_0
As he left the cast on the road across the dude bench grass.
spk_0
And there's the keeper too.
spk_0
He got the ball post.
spk_0
That's it really.
spk_0
The Colin didn't stop questioning Harry all the way down to the sloping lawn to the quidditch pitch.
spk_0
And Harry only shook him off when he reached the changing rooms.
spk_0
Colin called after him in his piping voice.
spk_0
I feel good in getting to see Harry and hurry it off to the stands.
spk_0
The rest of the Griffin team were already in the changing room.
spk_0
What was the only person who looked truly awake?
spk_0
Ferringer's really were sitting puffy eyed.
spk_0
And Tozel Herd.
spk_0
Next to the fourth year Alicia Spinnett, who seemed to be nodding off against the wall behind her.
spk_0
Her fellow chasers, Katie Bell and Angelina Johnson, Rionning, side by side, opposite.
spk_0
There you are Harry.
spk_0
We'll get to you.
spk_0
Said was pricelessly.
spk_0
Now I wanted to quick talk with you before we actually on the pitch.
spk_0
Because I spent the whole summer devising a whole new training program.
spk_0
Which I really think will make us all the difference what was holding up a large diagram of the quidditch pitch.
spk_0
On which we're drawn many lines, arrows and crosses in different colored inks.
spk_0
You took out his wand, taped the board and the arrows begin to wiggle over the diagram like caterpillars.
spk_0
As was launched into the speech about his new tactics, Ferringer's head dropped right into Alicia Spinnett's shoulder and he began to snore.
spk_0
The first board took nearly 20 minutes to explain.
spk_0
But there was another board under that and a third under that one.
spk_0
Harry sank into stepboard as wood drove on and on.
spk_0
So, said Wood, at long last, jerking Harry from a wistful fantasy about what he could be eating for breakfast at this very moment, about the castle.
spk_0
Is that clear? Any questions?
spk_0
I've got a question Oliver.
spk_0
So George, who had woken with a start, why couldn't you toss all yesterday but we were awake?
spk_0
What was it pleased?
spk_0
Now, listen here you lot.
spk_0
He said, glowering at them all, we should have won the quidditch cup last year.
spk_0
We were easy the best team.
spk_0
Unfortunately, Owing to certain sense of murder control, Harry should go to the leniency.
spk_0
He had been unconscious in the hospital wing for the final match of the previous year, meaning that Gryffordor had been a player short and had suffered the worst defeat in 300 years.
spk_0
Wood took a moment to regain control of himself.
spk_0
Their last defeat was clearly still torturing him.
spk_0
So this year we tried harder than ever before.
spk_0
Okay, let's go and put on a no theories into practice.
spk_0
Wood shouted, seizing his brimstick and leaning the way out of the changing rooms.
spk_0
Stiff liked and so yawning his team followed.
spk_0
And they had been in the changing rooms so long that the sun was uppubrantly here.
spk_0
Other remains of mist hung over the grass in the stadium.
spk_0
As Harry locked in the pitch, he saw her riding the miny sitting on the stands.
spk_0
Aren't you finished yet?
spk_0
Caused Ron, incredibly?
spk_0
Haven't even started.
spk_0
Harry, working justly up the toast and mom-led Ron and her miny had brought out of the greyhulk, Wood's been teaching us new moves.
spk_0
He mounted his brimstick and kicked out the ground, soaring up into the air.
spk_0
The cool morning air whipped his face, winging him far more aggressively than Wood's long talk.
spk_0
It felt wonderful to be back on the footage pitch.
spk_0
He saw it ride through the stadium at full speed, raising front and George.
spk_0
What's that fun clicking noise?
spk_0
Called Fred as they hurled from the corner.
spk_0
Hey, looked into the stands.
spk_0
Colin was sitting in one of the highest seats, his camera raised, taking pictures after pictures.
spk_0
The Saras changing magnified in the stadium.
spk_0
Looked this way, Harry, look this way!
spk_0
He cried surely.
spk_0
Who's that?
spk_0
Said Fred, no idea.
spk_0
Harry lied, putting on a spur of speed and then took him far as way as possible and Colin.
spk_0
What's going on?
spk_0
Said Wood frowning at his skim through the air towards them.
spk_0
Why is that first-year thing pictures?
spk_0
I don't like it.
spk_0
He could be a slithering spy.
spk_0
Kinda found out about an yet new training program.
spk_0
He's a girlfriend doll, so Harry quickly.
spk_0
And this little thing just don't need a spy all of a sudden.
spk_0
Said George, what makes you say that?
spk_0
Said Wood easily.
spk_0
Because they're personning here.
spk_0
Said George pointing.
spk_0
Several people in green rows walking out of the pitch, breathing in their hands.
spk_0
I don't believe it!
spk_0
Wood hates an average.
spk_0
I booked the pitch for today.
spk_0
We'll see about this.
spk_0
Wood shod towards the ground, ending rather harder than he meant to with his anger.
spk_0
Said he slightly as he de-mounted.
spk_0
Harry Fred and George followed.
spk_0
Flint!
spk_0
Wood bellowed as his learned captain.
spk_0
This is our practice time.
spk_0
We got up specially.
spk_0
You can clearly office now.
spk_0
Markisnit was even larger than Wood.
spk_0
He took a look at his trollish cunning on his face and replied.
spk_0
How do you remember all of us, Wood?
spk_0
Angelina, Alicia, and Katie had come over.
spk_0
They were no girls on the slithering team.
spk_0
His should shoulder to shoulder facing differenters.
spk_0
Learing to a man.
spk_0
But I booked the pitch.
spk_0
Said Wood.
spk_0
Positively spreading with rage.
spk_0
I booked it.
spk_0
Said Flint.
spk_0
But I have called it especially sign no to you from Professor Snape.
spk_0
Professor S. Snape gave the slithering team permission to practice today on the Quidditch pitch.
spk_0
Learing to the need of the train of the new Seeker.
spk_0
He forgot a new Seeker.
spk_0
Said Wood distracted where?
spk_0
And from behind the six large figures before they became a seventh.
spk_0
Smaller boy.
spk_0
Smirring all over his pale pointed face.
spk_0
It was Drake on our floor.
spk_0
Why don't you do she's my foie son?
spk_0
Said Fred looking at my foie with this leg.
spk_0
Funny you should mention Drake was father.
spk_0
Said Flint.
spk_0
As a whole slithering team smiled.
spk_0
Still more broadly.
spk_0
Let me show you the generous gift he made to the slithering team.
spk_0
All seven of them held out their broomsticks.
spk_0
Seven highly polished brand new handles of seven sets of fine gold lettering spelling the words.
spk_0
Nimbus 2001.
spk_0
Belemed under the Gryffinders' noses in the early morning sun.
spk_0
Barely his model.
spk_0
And became in last month.
spk_0
Said Flint.
spk_0
Carelessly thinking a speck of death from the end of his own.
spk_0
I believe it after strips the old 2000 series by considered amount.
spk_0
As for the old Queen Seeps.
spk_0
He's mad nationally at Fred and George.
spk_0
Who both clutching Queen's weebs fives.
spk_0
Sweeps the bold with them.
spk_0
Had the Gryffinders team could think of anything to say at the moment.
spk_0
My foie was freaking so broadly his cold eyes were reduced to slits.
spk_0
Oh look, said Flint.
spk_0
A pitch invasion.
spk_0
Runner reminded him of crossing the grass to see what was going on.
spk_0
What's happening?
spk_0
Ron said, Harry.
spk_0
Why did you play?
spk_0
And what is he doing here?
spk_0
He was looking at my foie.
spk_0
Taking in southern quidditch robes.
spk_0
I, the new slipper, go easily.
spk_0
Said math away, smuggly.
spk_0
Everyone was just been in mind.
spk_0
He breathed my father back to our team.
spk_0
Ron gafed.
spk_0
Opened mouthed.
spk_0
And the seven superb broomsticks in front of them.
spk_0
Good auntie.
spk_0
Said math away smoothly.
spk_0
Perhaps a Gryffinder team will be able to raise some gold.
spk_0
And get some new broomsticks too.
spk_0
You could raffle off those clean sweep fives.
spk_0
I expect the museum would bid for them.
spk_0
This little game team hallowed laughter.
spk_0
At least no one on the Gryffinder team had to buy that way in.
spk_0
So to my describedly, they got in with peel, talent.
spk_0
This mug look on math foie's face flickered.
spk_0
No one asked your penny filthy to the mud blood.
spk_0
He spat.
spk_0
Harry knew that once math foie had set something really bad
spk_0
because there's an instant uproar in his words.
spk_0
Flint had to die in front of math foie to start spreading droids
spk_0
on jumping him.
spk_0
I just freaked.
spk_0
How dare you?
spk_0
And Ron plunged his hand into his rose,
spk_0
playing at his wand yelling.
spk_0
You paid for that one, math foie.
spk_0
And pointed it furiously on different arm at math foie's face.
spk_0
A loud bang I go around the stadium.
spk_0
A jet of green light was shot out of the wrong end of Ron's wand,
spk_0
hitting him in the stomach and sending him really backwards on the grass.
spk_0
Ron!
spk_0
Ron!
spk_0
Are you alright?
spk_0
That's why I'm not any.
spk_0
Ron opened his mouth to speak, but no words came out.
spk_0
Instead, he gave it all my knee-blet and several slugs dribbled out of his mouth at his lap.
spk_0
The slug on team were paralyzed with laughter.
spk_0
Flint was doubled up, hanging on his new frame sick for support.
spk_0
Math foie wasn't all foie's, being on the ground with his fist.
spk_0
The different droids were gathered around Ron,
spk_0
who kept belching large, listening to slugs.
spk_0
Nobody seemed to want to touch him.
spk_0
We'd better get him to Hagrid, his nearest sit-hair to Hermione,
spk_0
who knotted bravely, and the pair of them pulled him up by Ron with his arms.
spk_0
What happened Harry?
spk_0
What happened?
spk_0
Is he ill?
spk_0
But you can cure and conjure.
spk_0
Colin had run down from his seat and was now dancing alongside them as they left a pitch.
spk_0
Ron gave a huge heath and more slugs dribbled out of him.
spk_0
Oof.
spk_0
Said Colin, fascinated and raised his camera.
spk_0
Can you hold him still, Harry?
spk_0
Get out of the way, Colin!
spk_0
Said Harry, angrily.
spk_0
He and Hermione supported Ron out of the stadium and across the grounds towards the near edge
spk_0
of the forest.
spk_0
Yoli there, Ron.
spk_0
Hermione, as a gatekeeper's cabin came into the Yolby-O-Rite in a minute almost there.
spk_0
They were within 20 feet of Hagrid's house when the front door opened,
spk_0
but it wasn't Hagrid who emerged.
spk_0
Gildor a lock heart wearing robes of paleis mow of today came striding out.
spk_0
Quick behind here.
spk_0
Harry there, striding Ron behind a nearly bush.
spk_0
Hermione followed somewhere reluctantly.
spk_0
It's a simple matter I know what you're doing.
spk_0
Book heart was saying that the Hagrid, if you need my help, you know where I am.
spk_0
As you have a copy of my book.
spk_0
I'm surprised that you haven't called me already.
spk_0
I'll sign on tonight incident of a...well, goodbye!
spk_0
And he straight away towards the castle.
spk_0
Harry went in to lock it when I was sight.
spk_0
Then he pulled Ron out of the bush and up to Hagrid's front door.
spk_0
They knocked urgently.
spk_0
Hagrid appeared at once, looking very grumpy, but his expression by it when he saw who it was.
spk_0
Been wondering when you come to see me?
spk_0
Come in, come in!
spk_0
Don't you might have been first lock-up back then.
spk_0
Harry and Hermione supported Ron over the threshold into the one room cabin,
spk_0
which had enormous bed in one corner, a firecracking, merely another.
spk_0
Hagrid didn't seem perturbed by Ron's slug problem,
spk_0
which Harry has to explain as he lowered Ron into his chair.
spk_0
But after then, he said cheerfully, plucking your large copper basin in front of him.
spk_0
Get him all up!
spk_0
Ron?
spk_0
I don't know anything to do except wait for it to stop.
spk_0
So don't mind me seriously, watching Ron bend over for the basin.
spk_0
That's a difficult close to work at the best times, but with a broken wand.
spk_0
Hagrid was bursting around, making them tea.
spk_0
His borehound thing was slurping over Harry.
spk_0
What did Lockhart want with you, Hagrid?
spk_0
Harry asked, scratching thingsy as, giving me advice on getting kelpies out of the way.
spk_0
He grabbed Hagrid, moving a half-plugged rooster off his scrub table,
spk_0
insiding down the teapot.
spk_0
Like, I don't know.
spk_0
And banging on about some banshee-barnished one word of it was true I'll eat my kettle.
spk_0
It was most unlike Hagrid to criticize a Hogwarts teacher,
spk_0
and Harry looked at him in surprise.
spk_0
Hermione, however, said in a voice somewhat higher than usual.
spk_0
I think you'll be a bit unfair, but first time to obviously though he was the best-mind for the job.
spk_0
He was the only man for the job.
spk_0
So Hagrid offered him a plate of treacle-coffed coffee,
spk_0
which Harry copped screechily into the basin.
spk_0
And I mean only one.
spk_0
Getting very difficult to find anyone for dark arts jobs.
spk_0
People on the tip of the tongue say, it's not like you think of jinx.
spk_0
No one's taking it for a while, that's tell me.
spk_0
So Hagrid drugging his head to Ron.
spk_0
Who was he trying to kiss?
spk_0
Math boy called Hermione something.
spk_0
It must have been really bad because everyone met mad.
spk_0
It was bad.
spk_0
Said Ron Horstley emerging over at the tabletop when he pale his body.
spk_0
Math boy called him a mud blood Hagrid.
spk_0
Ron died out of sight again as a fresh wave of slugs made their appearance.
spk_0
How did it look at Paige?
spk_0
He didn't.
spk_0
He growled at Hermione.
spk_0
She said, I don't know what it means.
spk_0
I could tell it was very rude of course.
spk_0
It's the most insulting thing you could think of.
spk_0
Guess what I'm coming back up.
spk_0
Mud blood is a very foul name for someone who is muggable.
spk_0
You know, non-magic parents.
spk_0
There are some wizards like math boy who think they're better than everyone else.
spk_0
Because they're what people call pure blood.
spk_0
He gave a spa burp.
spk_0
As some single slug fell out of his outreach hand.
spk_0
He threw it into the basin and continued.
spk_0
I'm the rest of us.
spk_0
No, it doesn't make a difference at all.
spk_0
Look at the level of lung button.
spk_0
He's pure blood and he can hardly stand a cauldron the right way up.
spk_0
And they haven't invented a spell of Hermione can't do.
spk_0
So Hagrid paralleling Hermione go a brilliant shade of magenta.
spk_0
It's a disgusting thing to call someone.
spk_0
Said Ron.
spk_0
Why bring his sweaty brow with the shaking hand?
spk_0
Dirty blood sea comment blood?
spk_0
It's mad.
spk_0
Most of the seas says.
spk_0
A half blood anyway.
spk_0
If we didn't have it married Muggles, we died out.
spk_0
He rushed and ducked out of sight again.
spk_0
Well, I don't blame you for trying to kiss him, Ron.
spk_0
Said Hagrid loudly over the dead slugs hitting the basin.
spk_0
But maybe it was a good thing you weren't backfired.
spk_0
Speck Lucius Nafoi would have come marching after the swirf he kissed his son.
spk_0
Least you're not in trouble.
spk_0
Harry would have found out that trouble didn't come much worse
spk_0
than having slugs point out of your mouth, but he couldn't.
spk_0
Hagrid's turquoise coffee had smelted his jaws together.
spk_0
Harry said Hagrid suddenly as though struck by a sudden thought.
spk_0
Got a burn to pick with you.
spk_0
I've heard you've been giving outside photos.
spk_0
How come I haven't got one?
spk_0
Furious.
spk_0
Harry rushed his tees apart.
spk_0
I have not been giving outside photos.
spk_0
He said hardly.
spk_0
If Locke had still putting that about.
spk_0
But then he saw Hagrid was laughing.
spk_0
I'm only joking.
spk_0
He said, pounding Harry, turning me on the back and sending him face worse into the table.
spk_0
I know you hadn't really.
spk_0
I told Locke that you didn't need to.
spk_0
He made famous than him without trying.
spk_0
But he didn't like that.
spk_0
So Harry said he up and rubbing his chin.
spk_0
Don't think he did.
spk_0
Said I would, his eyes swirly.
spk_0
And then I told him I'd never been on his old books.
spk_0
And he decided to go take a coffee.
spk_0
From here and one room prepared.
spk_0
New thanks.
spk_0
Said I wanted to get better not risk it.
spk_0
Come on.
spk_0
See what I've been growing.
spk_0
So Hagrid as Harry and Hermione finished up their last party.
spk_0
In a small vegetable patch behind Hagrid's house, where a dozen of the largest pumpkins Harry had ever seen.
spk_0
Each was the size of a large boulder.
spk_0
Get all will, aren't they?
spk_0
Said Hagrid happily.
spk_0
For the Halloween feast should be big enough by then.
spk_0
But he's been feeding them.
spk_0
Said Harry.
spk_0
Hagrid looked over his shoulder to check that they were alone.
spk_0
Well, I've been giving them, you know, a bit help.
spk_0
Harry knows Hagrid's flowery pink umbrella leaning in his back side of the wall in the cabin.
spk_0
Harry had a reason to believe before that this umbrella was not at all what it looked.
spk_0
In fact, he had the strongest impression that Hagrid's old tool wand was concealed inside of it.
spk_0
Hagrid wasn't supposed to use magic, he had been exposed from Hogwarts in his third year.
spk_0
But Harry never found out why.
spk_0
And he mentioned that Hagrid would clear his throat loudly,
spk_0
become seriously deaf until the side vehicles change.
spk_0
The engagement charge I suppose.
spk_0
Said Hermione.
spk_0
Halfway between disapproval and amusement.
spk_0
Well, you've got done that good job on them.
spk_0
Did you little sister said that Hagrid nodding at her own?
spk_0
I just yesterday.
spk_0
Hagrid looks sideways at Harry.
spk_0
He's a bit witty.
spk_0
She said she was just looking around the grounds,
spk_0
but I reckon she was hoping she might run into someone else at my house.
spk_0
He went to Harry.
spk_0
If he asked me, she would not say no to a sign.
spk_0
Oh, shut up!
spk_0
Said Harry.
spk_0
Run started with laughter, and the ground was sprayed with slugs.
spk_0
Watch it!
spk_0
Hagrid roared, pulling one away from his precious pumpkins.
spk_0
It was nearly lunchtime, and as Harry had only had one bit of trekletoffie since dawn,
spk_0
he was keen to go back to school to eat.
spk_0
They had said goodbye to Hagrid and rock back up in the castle.
spk_0
Ron take it pretty occasionally, but only bringing up two very small slugs.
spk_0
They had barely set foot in the cool entrance when the voice rang out.
spk_0
There you are, putt a wheezy!
spk_0
First and more lovable, and was walking towards them looking stern.
spk_0
You were both too intense this evening.
spk_0
What are we doing, Professor?
spk_0
So, Ron nervously suppressing a burp.
spk_0
You will be polishing the silver and trophy room with Mr. Filch.
spk_0
Professor McGonnell, and no magic queasy.
spk_0
Elbow grease.
spk_0
Ron gulped.
spk_0
Argus Filch, the caretaker, was loathed by every student in the school.
spk_0
And G-Potter will be helping Professor Lockhart also his fan, man.
spk_0
Said Professor McGonnell.
spk_0
Oh, now I can't take on a trophy room, true.
spk_0
Said Harry, yes, really.
spk_0
Certainly not.
spk_0
Said Professor McGonnell, raising her eyebrows.
spk_0
Professor Lockhart requested you particularly.
spk_0
It had worked shopped both of you.
spk_0
Harry and Ron slashed into the great hall in states of the deepest gloom.
spk_0
Hermione behind them, wearing a well-you did break school rules sort of expression.
spk_0
Harry didn't fancy his shepherd's pie as much as he thought.
spk_0
Both he and Ron felt they'd got the worst deal.
spk_0
Filch had me there all night.
spk_0
Said Ron heavily.
spk_0
No magic.
spk_0
There must be about hundreds of cups of my room.
spk_0
I'm no good at my book cleaning.
spk_0
I'd swap anytime.
spk_0
Said Harry, hallowing.
spk_0
I had loads of practice with the durses,
spk_0
answering Lockhart's fan mail he'd been nightmare.
spk_0
Finally, afternoon seemed him all the way.
spk_0
And in what seemed like no time, it was five minutes to eight.
spk_0
And Harry was dragging his feet along the second floor corridor to Lockhart's office.
spk_0
He greeted his teeth and knocked.
spk_0
The door flew open and once.
spk_0
Lockhart beamed out at him.
spk_0
Ah, he's that squally bag.
spk_0
He said, come in Harry, come in.
spk_0
Channing brightly on the walls.
spk_0
By the light of many candles,
spk_0
there countless frame photographs of Lockhart.
spk_0
He had even signed a few of them.
spk_0
A large pile laid on his desk.
spk_0
You can't dress the envelopes.
spk_0
Lockhart told Harry as though there were a huge treat.
spk_0
This is one of the two Gladys,
spk_0
one of the blesses, huge fan of mine.
spk_0
The minister snailed by,
spk_0
hey, let Lockhart's voice wash over him,
spk_0
he was saying, mm-hmm, and right.
spk_0
And yeah.
spk_0
Now and then he quite raised like,
spk_0
maybe as a fickle friend, Harry,
spk_0
or a celebrity, a celebrity, does.
spk_0
Remember that.
spk_0
We cannot burn lower and lower,
spk_0
making the light dance over the many moving faces of Lockhart watching him.
spk_0
Harry moved his aging hand over what sound like a...
spk_0
a thosent envelope.
spk_0
Reading out Veronica's name leads address.
spk_0
It must be nearly time to leave.
spk_0
Harry, please let it be time to leave.
spk_0
And then he heard something,
spk_0
having quite a part from spitting,
spk_0
the dying candles and Lockhart's proudest fans.
spk_0
It was a voice, a voice to chill the bonerro,
spk_0
a voice of breathtaking ice-hold venom.
spk_0
Come, let me rip you, let me tear you, let me kill you.
spk_0
Harry gave a huge jump in a large lilac plot
spk_0
appeared on Veronica's smell of street.
spk_0
What? He said, Lally, I know.
spk_0
So Lockhart, six solid months at the top of the bestseller list,
spk_0
broke all records.
spk_0
No, it's a hair front of the lead, that voice.
spk_0
Sorry?
spk_0
So Lockhart, looking puzzled, what voice?
spk_0
That, that voice, didn't you hear it?
spk_0
Lockhart was looking at Harry and Harry assortagement.
spk_0
What are you talking about, Harry?
spk_0
Perhaps you're getting a little drassy.
spk_0
Great squat, look at the time.
spk_0
We've been here nearly for hours.
spk_0
I'd never have believed it, the time is flowing, hasn't it?
spk_0
Harry didn't answer.
spk_0
He was training his ears to hear the voice again.
spk_0
But there's no sound, except for Lockhart telling him
spk_0
that he wasn't expecting a treat like this every time he got detention.
spk_0
Feeling hazed, Harry left.
spk_0
It was so late that the Gryffinder Con room was almost empty.
spk_0
Harry went straight up to the dormitory.
spk_0
When he wasn't back yet, Harry pulled on his pajamas,
spk_0
by his tooth's bed and waited.
spk_0
Half an hour later, run and ride,
spk_0
nursing his right arm and bring a strong smell of polish into a dark room.
spk_0
My muscles have all seized up.
spk_0
He grounds, seeing on his bed, 14 times,
spk_0
he made me buff up that quage cup before he was satisfied.
spk_0
Then, I had another slug attack,
spk_0
all over the special award for services to the school.
spk_0
Took ages to shift this line.
spk_0
How was it with Lockhart?
spk_0
Keeping his voice so low, not to make no bold dinner,
spk_0
he missed.
spk_0
Harry told Ron exactly what he had heard.
spk_0
And Lockhart said he couldn't hear it, said Ron.
spk_0
Harry could see him frowning in the room, then.
spk_0
Do you think he was lying?
spk_0
But I don't get it.
spk_0
Even someone invisible would have had to open it all.
spk_0
I know, so Harry lying back is four-poster
spk_0
and staring at the canopy of the room.
spk_0
I don't get it either.
