well, let’s just say that l’m used to it by now.

Why do you look so miserable, Harry?

None of it made any difference.

Pettigrew escaped. Didn’t make any difference?

lt made all the difference in the world. You uncovered the truth.

You saved an innocent man from a terrible fate.

lt made a great deal of difference.

lf l am proud of anything

it is of how much you have learned this year.

Now, since l am no longer your teacher

l feel no guilt whatsoever about giving this back to you.

So now l’ll say goodbye, Harry.

l feel sure we’ll meet again sometime.

Until then

mischief managed.

Stand back, l said Or l’ll take it upstairs if you don’t settle.

Harry.

Wherever did you get it?

Can l have a go, Harry? After you, of course.

What are you talking about? Quiet.

Let the man through. l didn’t mean to open it, Harry.

lt was badly wrapped. They made me do it.

Did not.

lt’s a Firebolt. lt’s the fastest broom in the world.

For me?

But who sent it? No one knows.

This came with it.

Go on, Harry Yeah, let’s see.

How fast is it, Harry?

Lumos.

l solemnly swear that l am up to no good.
