I say, occasionally it's really rather droll. Like the whole section on suggesting that the argument could be negotiated with the help of a qualified Diviner.

Yes, I see your point. Sometimes one returns to a book one hasn't read in a long time, and sees new things in the story. Or in what the author had to say, what? And they were there the whole time only one wasn't old enough or experienced enough to see it before.

Oh, I say, why did Draco say that France is full of perverts? Has someone from Beauxbatons said something to him he found objectionable?
