Chapter 8 - Television Part 1
Would you look at that, Ron said dreamily.
It's amazing, Remus sighed.
Who would've thought it, Sirius agreed.
Harry and Hermione stood nearby, staring at the three wizards. They were standing, entranced, in front of an appliance store, watching the display of televisions that had been set up in the window.
And they were drooling.
This is sad, Hermione muttered to Harry. I mean, maybe they've never seen a television before but... I think they're even putting Mr. Weasley to shame.
Harry replied. Oi! Ron, Sirius, Remus - let's go.
But all three had settled themselves comfortably on the sidewalk in front of the store, gazing up at the many television screens. They didn't seem to be likely to move until after the programme was over.
Um - shouldn't we be going? Hermione asked hesitantly, twenty minutes later.
Nah, this is the good part, Sirius said, his eyes never leaving the screen.
But I think you should know that -
Don't spoil the ending for us! Remus cried.
I'm not! I really think you should know that -
Ron hissed.
Harry sighed, rubbing his forehead. He went into the appliance store and had a brief discussion with the clerk. Then he went into the front window and unplugged the camera that had been pointing out the window, recording Sirius, Remus, and Ron and broadcasting them on the television screens.
Okay, let's go, he said triumphantly, and he and Hermione dragged their downhearted comrades away.
Come on, that was the best part! Sirius whined.
