CHAPTER 14 THE ROLLING STONES
Harry and Mrs. Norris tracked down Ron at a Rolling Stones concert. Ron met the Stones in 1969 before when Keith Richards taught Defense Against the Dark Arts at Hogwarts. We will now digress for a moment and tell the story. Professor Richards tried to teach Ron how to do magic, but Ron could not articulate the spells. When the professor said "stupefy", Ron said something that the professor took to be "mad bull". When Richards said "expelliarmus", Ron said something that sounded like "red coal carpet." Ron hid under the table during a storm and started screaming about war.
For some reason, whenever, Harry thought of the band, he thought of his mother which is strange since there are no females in the Rolling Stones.
As they walked into the concert hall, Harry's mind was filled with thoughts of his mother giving birth to him. That led him to thoughts of other births. He wondered about his aunts and uncles giving birth. He also thought a lot about oxen.
Harry and Ron walked into the concert hall and saw the group performing. Mick saw Harry first and came off stage to give him a warm hug. Harry started bawling and bawling because Mick Jagger was his hero. He cried for fifteen minutes straight. The Stones were able to play four songs in that span.
When Harry stopped his blubbering, Ron started whining in monkey talk. Harry apologized for him but now the Stones were offended because they thought Ron was making fun of their singing.
Their manager escorted the boys out, and they never saw the Stones again. The reader may wonder what this has to do with the story. In fact, it has everything to do with the story. But as patience is a virtue, I ask the reader to wait until the next chapter.
Mrs. Norris had accomplished half her goal. With Ron separated from Harry, Mrs. Norris pressured him to pay up. Ron used his iphone to wire $400,000 to Mrs. Norris's Swiss bank account.
