“Don’t you understand how Cho’s feeling at the moment?” she asked.

“No,” said Harry and Ron together.

Hermione sighed and laid down her quill.

“Well, obviously, she’s feeling very sad, because of Cedric dying.  Then I expect she’s feeling confused because she liked Cedric and now she likes Harry, and she can’t work out who she likes best.  Then she’ll be feeling guilty, thinking it’s an insult to Cedric’s memory to be kissing Harry at all, and she’ll be worrying about what everyone else might say about her if she starts going out with Harry.  And she probably can’t work out what her feelings toward Harry are anyway, because he was the one who was with Cedric when Cedric died, so that’s all very mixed up and painful.  Oh, and she’s afraid she’s going to be thrown off the Ravenclaw Quidditch team because she’s been flying so badly.”

A slightly stunned silence greeted the end of this speech, then Ron said, “One person can’t feel all that at once, they’d explode.”

“Just because you’ve got the emotional range of a teaspoon doesn’t mean we all have,” said Hermione nastily, picking up her quill again.

Just because something is typed–whether it is typed on a business card or typed in a newspaper or book–this does not mean that it is true.

Jake Sisko: You always used to chase me away.

Odo: I never chased you away, I chased Nog. You just happened to be with him. So, unless you are planning on flicking sand peas at the passing throng, you are welcome to stay here as long as you like.

“Good luck, Ron,” said Hermione, standing on tiptoe and kissing him on the cheek.  “And you, Harry –”

Ron seemed to come to himself slightly as they walked back across the Great Hall.  He touched the spot on his face where Hermione had kissed him, looking puzzled, as though he was not quite sure what had just happened.

“I will thank you not to be impertinent,” Aunt Josephine said, using a word which here means “pointing out that I’m wrong, which annoys me.”  “It is very annoying.”

“Can we be the Anti-Umbridge League?” said Angelina hopefully.

“Or the Ministry of Magic Are Morons Group?” suggested Fred.

“I was thinking,” said Hermione, frowning at Fred, “more of a name that didn’t tell everyone what we’re up to, so we can refer to it safely outside meetings.”

“The Defense Association?” said Cho.  “The D.A. for short, so nobody knows what we’re talking about?”

“Yeah, the D.A.’s good,” said Ginny.  “Only let’s make it stand for Dumbledore’s Army because that’s the Ministry’s worst fear, isn’t it?”

Violet tried one more time, knowing it would probably be futile, a word which here means “filled with futility.”

Keiko O’Brien: I don’t think it works that way. You’d better brush up on your biology.

“I wonder if Hermione’s seen this yet?” Harry said, looking around at the door to the girls’ dormitories.

“Let’s go and tell her,” said Ron.  He bounded forward, pulled open the door, and set off up the spiral staircase.

He was on the sixth stair when it happened.  There was a loud, wailing, klaxonlike sound and the steps melted together to make a long, smooth stone slide.  There was a brief moment when Ron tried to keep running, arms working madly like windmills, then he toppled over backward and shot down the newly created slide, coming to rest on his back at Harry’s feet.

“Er — I don’t think we’re allowed in the girls’ dormitories,” said Harry, pulling Ron to his feet and trying not to laugh.

Two fourth-year girls came zooming gleefully down the stone slide.

“Oooh, who tried to get upstairs?” they giggled happily, leaping to their feet and ogling Harry and Ron.

“Me,” said Ron, who was still rather disheveled.  “I didn’t realize that would happen.  It’s not fair!” he added to Harry, as the girls headed off for the portrait hole, still giggling madly.  “Hermione’s allowed in our dormitory, how come we’re not allowed — ?”

“Well, it’s an old fashioned rule,” said Hermione, who had just slid neatly onto a rug in front of them and was now getting to her feet, “but it says in Hogwarts, A History that the founders thought boys were less trustworthy than girls.”
