-F.N. Owl
Filch: *To Fred and George* Have you ever found yourself in a situation where you were forced to expose a secret, like when you’re trying to hide the fact that you’re a Squib for several years while working at your establishment and then suddenly you are forced to show that you cannot levitate yourself and therefore must use a ladder, thus feeling like a complete failure and feeling totally humiliated in front of several hundred adolescents?
Fred: …Not really…
-Mollie

Ron: Merlin, what’s the new decree?
Hermione: *Reads* Students are not to ‘snog’ without the express permission of the headmistress. Any student caught doing so or has been reported to have done so in the past quarter will be expelled. Well, it’s a good thing that that doesn’t apply to any of us!

Ginny: Actually, it can. *Waves wand and board game sets itself up*
Filch: …And they wonder why I have poor job appreciation…
-Dan C.
Filch: Aha! I’ve got you now!
Dumbledore’s Army: *Freezes*
Harry: Um… I can explain…
Filch: There is no need to!
Filch leans the ladder against the wall and changes a burnt-out light bulb in the chandelier.
Filch: That’s been bothering me for ages! Well, carry on, kids! *Leaves*
Dumbledore’s Army: *Silence*
Harry: So, I guess it’s back to Patronuses then…
