Sounds like a Death Eater. Hope they checked him for the Mark.

Ahh, messing about with the English publishing industry, THAT will get you jailed.
Now if he were just a simple mugger or burglar, they would have given him an award.

Sounds like a Death Eater. Hope they checked him for the Mark. Ah. But can a Muggle be a Death Eater? Perhaps Book 7 will answer that question.

Ahh, messing about with the English publishing industry, THAT will get you jailed. How true. I understand that the Queen has been known to knight the heads of the publishing houses over there. Defending the Crown by throwing books perhaps.

Perhaps he's a squib. That's an excellent possibility...and the dementors would make quick work of squib...assuming they're still guarding Azkaban.

Lucius Malfoy isn't going to be very happy about this... He probably put Crabbe & Goyle up to it.

Lucius Malfoy isn't going to be very happy about this... Probably try to find a way to pin the blame on Harry. Personally, I bet Dudley was the culprit. :-)

I accidentally drank some Polyjuice Potion and looked like Goyle for a while yesterday.
I'm glad that episode's over! People kept talking to me like I was real stupid.

I accidentally drank some Polyjuice Potion Best be careful of that sort of thing.
The ingredients locker down in potions has been broken into
so many times I hear the Ministry is starting a drug testing program
at Hogwarts next year. Sodding WODders.

Best be careful of that sort of thing. But....but....Polyjuice Potion just tastes so good.
And I want to look like Fleur Delacourt for at least a few hours just to see what that feels like.
