"Yeah, I know," Ron replied. "Some of it's not bad actually for ditching class a while if you need to. 'Course, you heard that from your brother Ron, not from Prefect Ron."

He continued to turn the ball around in his hand. "You know George likes his inventions to be a secret. And what do you suppose this does?"
