"Three Dementor attacks in a week, and all Romilda Vane does is ask me if it’s true you’ve got a Hippogriff tattooed across your chest."
Ron and Hermione both roared with laughter. Harry ignored them.

I told her it's a Hungarian Horntail," said Ginny, turning a page of the newspaper idly. "Much more macho."

"It's for some stupid noble reason isn't it?"

“What are you doing with all those books anyway?" Ron asked, limping back to his bed.
