Book Two

"All right, Harry?"

-"We don't need to," said Ron, jerking his head toward the front seat and grinning. "You forget who I've got with me."-( referring to the fact that they don't need to use magic to get Harry out of the Dursleys' house, because Fred and George are with them)

"A lot of wizards think it's a waste of time, knowing this sort of Muggle trick, but we feel they're skills worth learning, even if they are a bit slow."(referring to their skills at picking a lock with a hairpin.)

"Very fishy." (Fish....mmmm....)

"Definitely dodgy."

"Yeah, Mum's always wishing we had a house-elf to do the ironing, but all we've got is a lousy old ghoul in the attic and gnomes all over the garden..."

"Percy's been acting very oddly this summer, and he has been sending a lot of letters and spending a load of time shut up in his room...I mean, there's only so many times you can polish a prefect badge..."

"Touchdown!"

"Now, we'll go upstairs really quietly, and wait for Mum to call us for breakfast. Then, Ron, you come bounding downstairs going, 'Mum, look who turned up in the night!' and she'll be all pleased to see Harry and no one need ever know we flew the car." (good plan, too bad it didn't work)

As the Furious Mrs. Weasley Appears

"Ah."

"Oh, dear."

"Morning, Mum."(In what George clearly thought was a jaunty, winning voice *sniggers*)

"Perfect Percy."

"It was cloudy, Mum!" (so? If I'd have even seen a flying tire below the clouds at four in the morning, I would've freaked out!)

"They were starving him, Mum!"

"Yeah, she'll be wanting your autograph, Harry." (poor...poor Ginny....Harry doesn't like her...I'd prefer him to like her more than Cho....)

The Valiant Attempt to not be Punished

"Blimey, I'm tired. I think I'll go to bed and--" (what? they can't get even a wink of sleep after saving Mr. Hero? Why???)

"Mum, we know how to de-gnome a garden--"

"Mum fancies him." (Lockhart. You know.)

"Pitiful. I bet I can get mine beyond that stump." (de-gnoming!)

"Wow, Harry--that must've been fifty feet..." (stupid Harry....that throw was beginner's luck....or maybe just pain...)

"See, they're not too bright. The moment they know the de-gnoming's going on they storm up to have a look. You'd think they'd have learned by now just to stay put." (wisdom of George on the stupidity of gnomes)

"You've been told to get all Lockhart's books, too! The new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher must be a fan--bet it's a witch."

"Wish I knew what he was up to. He's not himself. His exam results came the day before you did; twelve O.W.L.s and he hardly gloated at all." (Percy is 'he')

In Diagon Alley

"Excellent!" (at the news that Harry turned up in Knockturn Alley after using Floo Powder)

"Get him, Dad!" (eee! Weasley attacked Malfoy!)

"He was pleased. Didn't you hear him as we were leaving? He was asking that bloke from the Daily Prophet if he'd be able to work the fight into his report--said it was all publicity--" (after Mrs. Weasley started complaining about Mr. Weasley's fight at Flourish and Blotts and what Lockhart must've thought)

"Why couldn't we've come in the car, eh?"

-As Wood launched into a spech about his new tactics, Fred Weasley's head drooped right onto Alicia Spinnet's shoulder and he began to snore.- (before a quidditch practice..er..very early in the morning...)

"I've got a question, Oliver," said George, who had woken with a start. "Why couldn't you have told us all this yesterday when we were awake?" (yep. still before quidditch practice^_^)

"What's that funny clicking noise?" (referring to Colin Creevey's camera)

-Fred and George Weasley had an entire drawer to themselves.- (referring to the files in Filch's office)

-The firelight glowed over the countless squashy armchairs where people sat reading, talking, doing homework, or, in the case of Fred and George Weasley, trying to find out what would happen if you fed a Filibuster firework to a salamander. Fred had "rescued" the brilliant orange, fire-dwelling lizard from a Care of Magical Creatures class and it was now smouldering gently on a table surrounded by a knot of curious people.-

-Harry was at the point of telling Ron and Hermione about Filch and the Kwikspell course when the salamander suddenly whizzed into the air, emitting loud sparks and bangs as it whilred wildly round the room. The sight of Percy bellowing himself hoarse at Fred and George-

"Too true," muttered George Weasley. "I haven't been properly dry since August." (After Oliver Wood says that they've been flying in all weather for quidditch practice.)

"So no pressure, Harry." (after Wood tells Harry to catch the snitch or die trying)

"Close one, Harry!"

"Gotcha!" (both this and above are referring to the rogue bludger.)

"Someone's--tampered--with--this--Bludger--"

"We were twenty feet above her, stopping the other Bludger from murdering Harry, Oliver. Someone's fixed it--"

"Don't be thick."

"This is all your fault. 'Get the Snitch or die trying,' what a stupid thing to tell him--" (talking to Oliver)

-Through the thicket of legs around him, Harry spotted Fred and George Weasley, wrestling the rogue Bludger into a box.-

"Unbelievable flying, Harry."

-Fred and George, however, found all this very funny. They went out of their way to march ahead of Harry down the corridors, shouting, "Make way for the Heir of Slytherin, seriously evil wizard coming through..."-

"Oh, get out of the way, Percy, Harry's in a hurry."

"Yeah, he's off to the Chamber of Secrets for a cup of tea with his fanged servant."

- "Oh, don't, she wailed every time Fred asked Harry loudly who he was planning to attack next, or when George pretended to ward Harry off with a large clove of garlic when they met.- (Ginny)

-Percy, who hadn't noticed that Fred had bewitched his prefect badge so that it now read "Pinhead," kept asking them all what they were sniggering at.-

-This was partly because he didn't think he could stand Fred and George singing, "His eyes are as green as a fresh pickled toad" one more time-(why Harry decided to go to bed early)

"Percy's in shock. That Ravenclaw girl--Penelope Clearwater--she's a prefect."

-Fred dropped a stack of books on George's head.-(after Ginny tells them that Percy's got a girlfriend)

"What?"

"Wouldn't dream of it," said Fred, who was looking like his birthday had come early.

"Definitely not," said George, sniggering. (After Ginny asks them if they'll tease Percy)
