I must say I forgot how FUNNY this chapter is.



"Ginny Weasley, who sat next to Colin Creevey in Charms, was 
distraught, but Harry felt that Fred and George were going the wrong 
way about cheering her up" - p.185

Alla:

I cannot believe that I had any doubt about Harry and Ginny ending 
up together. Look, Harry already thinks he knows how to cheer her up 
the RIGHT way. Awwwwww. :)

"Harry privately felt he'd rather face Slytherin's legendary monster 
than let Snape catch him robbing his office" - p.186

Alla:

Wait a second again. Isn't it exactly what happened? I mean Snape 
may have gotten a glimpse of Harry through legilimency but he did 
not catch Harry and Harry did face a little snakey as we all know. 
Too funny - Harry as mini Trelawney.


"Silence! SILENCE!" Snape roared. "Anyone who has been splashed, 
come here for a Deflating Draft - when I find out who did this---"
 - p.187


Alla:

Hmmmmm, I guess Snape does give a d*mn sometimes about his students' 
physical injuries at least. Curious. ;)


"Someone told me that Flitwick was a dueling champion when he was 
young - maybe it'll be him" - p.189


Alla:

I do wonder if Fillius taught Snape some tricks of the trade - just 
enough for Snape to knock him out in HBP? :)


"He tells me he knows a tiny little bit about dueling himself and 
has sportingly agreed to help me with a short demonstration before 
we begin" - p.189.


Alla:

Uhu, tiny bit Gilderoy dear.


"Both of them swung their wands above their heads and pointed them 
at their opponent; Snape cried: "Expelliarmus!" There was a dazzling 
flash of scarlet light and Lockhart was blasted of his feet; He flew 
backward off the stage, smashed into the wall, and slid it down to 
sprawl on the floor" - p.190

Alla:

Snape introduces Expelliarmus, curse that Harry would use in many 
significant situations as we know now.  Scarlet light? Gryffindor 
color?


"Harry wasn't sure what made him do it. He wasn't even aware of 
deciding to do it. All he knew was that his legs were carrying him 
forward as though he was on casters and he had shouted stupidly at 
the snake, "Leave him alone!" - p.194


Alla:

Harry wasn't sure what made him do it? Was he briefly possessed by 
soul piece here them? Blinks. On the other hand,  he is attempting 
to do a good deed here, would have Tommy wanted to?



"Could he be a descendant of Salasar Slytherin? He didn't know 
anything about his father's family after all. The Dursleys had 
always forbidden questions about his wizarding relatives" - p.197


Alla:

She does make sure to remind us how deeply Dursleys put in Harry's 
head - not to ask questions theme, doesn't she. Every time I get 
frustrated with Harry not to asking questions, I try to remember 
that :)
