Snippets From the Potterverse
Chapter 55 - Unsolved Mysteries
Harry was dressed in a long, tan trenchcoat and a dark suit. He was sitting in front of the fireplace in the Gryffindor common room, all the Gryffindors gathered around him. He cleared his throat.
Good evening. I'm Robert Stack, and this is another episode of Unsolved Mysteries'.You're not Robert Stack, Dean objected.
Just work with me, okay? Harry snapped. All right. Presented for your approval -That was Twilight Zone', not Unsolved Mysteries', Hermione interrupted.
JUST WORK WITH ME! Harry shrieked, then he regained his composure and settled down. Presented for your approval, mysteries in the lives of me and my friends. I have all five books here, and we will discuss the Unsolved Mysteries of the Potter world! Okay, number one!
He opened Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone'. Here, my Aunt Petunia says my mother came home every holiday with her pockets full of frog spawn, turning teacups into rats. Now! If Mum was always turning teacups into rats, how come she was never expelled for using underage magic outside of school?And here! Harry pulled out Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix'. See, in this book, I have the Marauder's Map back, even though Moody never returned it to me in Goblet of Fire'! How did that happen?
More silence.
This one's full of mysteries. Look, Sirius has his wand back now, even though he didn't have it in Prisoner of Azkaban' or Goblet of Fire'! How did he get it? He wasn't allowed to leave the house, so how could he buy one?! And it's not as if someone could have bought one for him - the wand chooses the wizard! If someone else bought it for him, it would be for that person, not Sirius!And what about this? The barman at the Hog's Head is said to be tall and thin with lots of long grey hair and beard, and he looks vaguely familiar. They never said who he reminded me of!! And his bar smells like goats! Know what I think? I think the barman is Aberforth Dumbledore, who was prosecuted for practising inappropriate charms on a goat!
Everyone exchanged glances.
Does anyone even know what's going on with Wormtail? He was only mentioned ONCE in Order of the Phoenix', though in Goblet of Fire' he looked like he was going to become a very important character!!
Dean backed away in fright, tripped over a coffee table, and landed in Ginny's lap.
Harry waved Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban' in the air. And look! Remus says in here that there is no cure for being a werewolf! But in Chamber of Secrets', Lockhart says the Homorphus Charm can turn werewolves back to normal!! Sure, Lockhart was a fraud, but he stole the Homorphus Charm from someone, so it must work! Why hasn't anyone tried it on Remus?!Harry, calm down, Hermione said soothingly. You'll have to wait until Book Six comes out.I suppose you're right, Harry sighed.
But you sure gave us stuff to think about in the meantime, Ron said.
