Harry had to go to Umbridge's office every night for detention, which left him no time to finish his homework.
As it was the O.W.L. year, there was an extra load of assignments for the fifth-year students, evident from the first week of school.
Snape's essay on the properties of moonstone and its use in potion-mak...

Fortune tellers always liked to predict the end of the world as their last prophecy, but until now, the end had never come.
Such actions that undermined their credibility didn’t tarnish the reputation of these Farseers because by the time their predictions were verified, several hundred or even thousand years had pass...

“I was just wondering, Professor, whether you received my note telling you of the date and time of your inspection..."
“Obviously I received it, or I would have asked you what you are doing in my classroom,” said Professor McGonagall curtly.

Evan didn’t have a deep understanding of witchcraft, but he had done some related research before.
Regarding that quill, the function of witchcraft above was to transform somebody's blood and use it as ink, torturing him to the extreme. Although he was unfamiliar with witchcraft, he knew a few similar Dark magic. As l...

They had expected to have to comb The Daily Prophet carefully next morning to find the article Percy had mentioned last night in his letter.
However, the departing delivery owl had barely cleared the top of the milk jug when Hermione let out a huge gasp.

The content of Percy's letter went on, inexplicably exasperating.
As your older brother, I am bound to give you some advice. Seriously, Ron, you do not want to be tarred with the same brush as Mason and Potter, it could be very damaging to your future prospects, and I am talking here about life after school too.

In the dim and narrow corridor, there were only Evan and Harry, their footsteps echoing through the hallway.
"Evan, did we act too impulsively?" Harry expressed his concern.

"Good evening, Mr. Potter."
Harry started and looked around. He had not noticed her at first because she was wearing a luridly flowered set of robes that blended only too well with the tablecloth on the desk behind her.
"I, uh, good evening, Professor Umbridge," Harry said stiffly.
“Well, sit down,” she ...
