Father says it’s a crime if I’m not picked to play for my House, and I must say, I agree. $ Know what House you’ll be in yet? $ No one really knows until they get there, do they, but I know I’ll be in Slytherin, all our family have been. $ Imagine being in Hufflepuff, I think I’d leave, wouldn’t you? I really don’t think they should let the other sort in, do you? $ They’re just not the same, they’ve never been brought up to know our ways. $ I think they should keep it in the old wizarding families. $ My father told me all the Weasleys have red hair, freckles, and more children than they can afford. $ You’ll soon find out some wizarding families are much better than others, Potter. $ You don’t want to go making friends with the wrong sort. $ Unless you’re a bit politer you’ll go the same way as your parents. $ You hang around with riffraff like the Weasleys and that Hagrid, and it’ll rub off on you. $ Did you see his face, the great lump? $ It’s that stupid thing Longbottom’s gran sent him. $ Wizard’s duel. $ Never heard of a wizards duel before, I suppose? $ Are you trying to earn some extra money, Weasley? $ That hut of Hagrid’s must seem like a palace compared to what your family’s used to. $ See, there’s Potter, who’s got no parents, then there’s the Weasleys, who’ve got no money, you should be on the team, Longbottom, you’ve got no brains. $ Longbottom, if brains were gold you’d be poorer than Weasley, and that’s saying something. $ You’re in luck, Weasley, Potter’s obviously spotted some money on the ground! $ We can’t go in there at night there’s all sorts of things in there werewolves, I heard. $ I thought we’d be copying lines or something, if my father knew I was doing this, he’d. $ Harry Potter got a Nimbus Two Thousand last year. $ Special permission from Dumbledore so he could play for Gryffindor. $ He’s not even that good, it’s just because he’s famous for for having a stupid scar on his forehead. $ I don’t want a foul scar right across my head, thanks. $ I don’t think getting your head cut open makes you that special, myself. $ I’m the new Slytherin Seeker, Weasley. $ No one asked your opinion, you filthy little Mudblood. $ You’d never know the Weasleys were purebloods, the way they behave. $ He’s another one with no proper wizard feeling, or he wouldn’t go around with that jumpedup Granger Mudblood. $ And people think he’s Slytherin’s heir! $ I expect you’d have Father’s vote, sir, if you wanted to apply for the job. $ Father’s not very happy about my injury. $ He dresses like our old house elf. $ If you think they can’t spot a Mudblood, stay where you are. $ But don’t touch my hand, now. $ I’ve just washed it, you see; don’t want a Mudblood sliming it up. $ I, unlike you, have been made a prefect, which means that I, unlike you, have the power to hand out punishments. $ Father was talking to the Minister just a couple of days ago and it sounds as though the Ministry’s really determined to crack down on substandard teaching in this place. $ I’m going to make you pay for what you’ve done to my father. $ If you’re wondering what the smell is, Mother, a Mudblood just walked in. $ So put me in detention! $ Report me to Dumbledore! $ The Dark Lord wants him alive. $
