"Well, Dumbledore left me stuff to do," mumbled Harry"Ron and Hermione know about it, and they want to come too
"What sort of 'stuff'?"
"I'm sorry, I can't -"
"Well, frankly, I think Arthur and I have a right to know, and I'm sure MrGranger would agree!" said MrsHarry had been afraid of the "concerned parent" attackHe forced himself to look directly into her eyes, noticing as he did so that they were precisely the same shade of brown as Ginny's
"Dumbledore didn't want anyone else to know, MrsRon and Hermione don't have to come, it's their choice -"

"And that's not mineI don't support Puddlemere United
