SmartyPants: Hi Harry…it's pretty bad we don't have a compartment together. You and Ron got one but I got separated from you in the crowd so I didn't.
SmartyPants: I hate it when crowds do that—separate you, I mean. It was so crowded that I couldn't even make my way to you guys! And I hate when they jostle you, too, you know? When you guys were going into your compartment, this one girl just smacked into me and she didn't even say anything.
Quidditchlvr: ouch
SmartyPants: It was really rude, actually…
SmartyPants: Anyway, do you think I should text Ron?
Quidditchlvr: no
Quidditchlvr: he wouldn't answer u
SmartyPants: But he's worrying me so much!
SmartyPants: I don't know what's wrong.
SmartyPants: Oh my God, do you think he's got DEPRESSION or something?!
SmartyPants: I can't do this! I'll talk to him once we get to Sirius's house, okay? This is terrible!
