Mr. Wesley started up the engine and the trundled out of the yard, Harry turning back for a last look at the house. He barely had time to wonder when he'd see it again when they were back --- George had forgotten his box of Filibuster fireworks. Five minutes after that, they skidded to a halt in the yard so that Fred could run in for his broomstick. They had almost reached the highway when Ginny shrieked that she'd left her diary. (查看原文)

Trying hard to bear all this in mind, Harry took a pinch of Floo powder and walked to the edge of the fire. He took a deep breath, scattered the powder into the flames, and stepped forward; the fire felt like a warm breeze; he opened his mouth and immediately swallowed a lot of hot ash. (查看原文)
It was difficult not to feel jealous of Ron when he thought of the Dursleys and the sort of welcome he could expect next time he turned up on Privet Drive.
On their last evening, Mrs. Weasley conjured up a sumptuous dinner that included all of Harry's favorite things, ending with a mouthwatering treacle pudding. Fred and George rounded off the evening with a display of Filibuster fireworks; they filled the kitchen with red and blue stars that bounced from ceiling to wall for at least half an hour. Then it was time for a last mug of hot chocolate and bed.

I know what day it is, Dudley repeated, coming right up to him.
Well done, said Harry, So you've finally learned the days of the week.
Today's your birthday, sneered Dudley. How come you haven't got any cards? Haven't you even got friends at that freak place? (查看原文)

Ron's school spellbooks were stacked untidily in a corner, next to a pile of comics that all seemed to feature The Advantures of Martin Miggs, the Mad Muggle. Ron's magic wand was lying on top of a fish tank full of fog spawn on the windowsill, next to his fat gray rat, Scabbers, who was snoozing in a patch of sun.
Harry stepped over a pack of Self-Shuffling playing cards on the floor and looked out of the tiny window. In the field far below he could see a gang of gnomes sneaking one by one back through the Weasleys' hedge.
