Kneasy:

....though little suspecting that Crumple Horned Snorkacks rapidly became
extinct with the introduction of Ma Prendergast's Patented Horn Straightener
and Bugle Polish.

Hermione sat tight-lipped as Ron practised his ventriloquism from under
Harry's invisibility cloak. All was well; Luna was as gullible as ever, and
the assurance that "Gruntle orn snokacksh - s'good. Have a Guttergeer,"
won her over.

Searching the Map for the underground passage that leads down to the 
stream whose source lay in Scandanavia, they failed to notice that they were
being observed. From behind a slime-spewn rock, a pair of cold, slightly
proturberant eyes observed their every move. Ron loading up with lucky
charms; Hermione regretfully casting aside "Hogwarts, a History" and arming
herself with that seminal tome "European Rarities, vol IX, the Swedish Pub";
Harry piling a 4-man tent, collapsible broomstick, the entire contents of 
Honeydukes stockroom and a crate of "Viva!Restorer; as endorsed by 
Someone who can't be Named" onto Dobby, his emanuensis - these eyes
missed nothing. Nearly time to come out of hiding....nearly time to stun
the world with the power of....Toadmaster!

Trevor (for it is he), pondered his next move.....
