OOP: Favorite Lines

[Ximena Valdivia]

No: HPFGUIDX 65405

I don't have my book with me at the moment, but one of my fave lines 
or situation was two that make me laugh

- When Bill says something like "He says he doesn't care as long as 
they don't take him out of the chocalte frog cards"
- The part where Ron is saying about his Divination test and he says 
that he was describing the reflection of his examinator

I likes both lines because they where put in places that you needed a 
good laugh, but of couse I like many many more

thoughts could leave deeper scarring than almost anything else,

Oblivious Unction, there seemed to be some improvement.
