Mr. and Mrs. Dursley at 4 Privet Drive were proud to be entirely normal, very proud even . *No one would have thought that they could get caught up in a strange and mysterious story, because with such nonsense they wanted to have nothing to do .
Mr. Dursley was the director of a company called Grunnings that manufactured drills. He was tall and stocky and had almost no neck , but Part Of Speech: conjunction; Error Type: mistranslation a very large mustache. Mrs. Dursley was thin and blonde and had twice as much neck as might have been necessary , but this was very useful because they Part Of Speech: pronoun; Error Type: person could stretch their Part Of Speech: pronoun; Error Type: person necks Part Of Speech: noun; Error Type: number over the fence and peeking Part Of Speech: verb; Error Type: aspect over to Part Of Speech: preposition; Error Type: mistranslation the neighbors . The Dursleys had a small son called Dudley and in their eyes there was nowhere a more splendid boy.
The Dursleys had everything they wanted , but they also had a secret , and that someone could discover [del] Part Of Speech: pronoun; Error Type: deletion , was her Part Of Speech: pronoun; Error Type: person biggest worry. *Simply unbearable , if the thing would come out with the Potters would be . Mrs. Potter was Mrs. Dursley 's sister , but the two had not seen each other for many years. Mrs. Dursley even claimed that she had no sister , because they Part Of Speech: pronoun; Error Type: person and their Part Of Speech: pronoun; Error Type: person no-good of a man were so Part Of Speech: adverb; Error Type: mistranslation undursleyhaft Part Of Speech: adjective; Error Type: mistranslation , as could be imagined . *The Dursleys shuddered at the thought of what the neighbors would say , the Potters one day should show up in their street . The Dursleys knew that the Potters had a small son, but they had never seen [del] Part Of Speech: pronoun; Error Type: deletion before. *Also, this boy was a good reason to stay away from the Potters , with such a child you should not come into contact Dudley .
*When Mr. and Mrs. Dursley on the dim and gray Tuesday, when our story begins , the eyes Part Of Speech: noun; Error Type: lexical category pitched Part Of Speech: verb; Error Type: mistranslation at the cloudy sky outside no sign of the strange and mysterious things could be seen , which should happen in the country soon everywhere. *Mr. Dursley hummed and looked for work his most boring tie , and Mrs. Dursley gossiped cheerfully to herself Part Of Speech: pronoun; Error Type: mistranslation as she jockeyed with the Part Of Speech: determiner; Error Type: mistranslation screaming Dudley and squeezed him in Part Of Speech: preposition; Error Type: mistranslation his high chair.
None of them saw the huge tawny owl flying Part Of Speech: verb; Error Type: aspect past the window.
*At half past eight attacked Part Of Speech: verb; Error Type: mistranslation Mr. Dursley after Part Of Speech: preposition; Error Type: mistranslation the Part Of Speech: determiner; Error Type: lexical category briefcase , gave his wife a peck on the cheek and tried it at Part Of Speech: preposition; Error Type: mistranslation Dudley with a farewell kiss. *However, the Part Of Speech: determiner; Error Type: mistranslation went wrong because Dudley just had a tantrum and threw [del] Part Of Speech: preposition; Error Type: deletion the walls with Part Of Speech: preposition; Error Type: mistranslation his porridge. " Little Rascal ," chortled Mr. Dursley as he went outside. *He sat in the car and drove back [del] Part Of Speech: preposition; Error Type: deletion the entrance Part Of Speech: noun; Error Type: mistranslation to Part Of Speech: preposition; Error Type: mistranslation number 4 also Part Of Speech: adverb; Error Type: mistranslation .
*At the street corner, he noticed for the first time something strange - a cat who studied a map . For a moment Mr. Dursley was not clear what he had seen - then he turned quickly to head back Part Of Speech: preposition; Error Type: mistranslation to look again. At the inflection Part Of Speech: noun; Error Type: mistranslation to Privet Drive was a tabby cat, but a road map could not be seen . *What he had just thought again Part Of Speech: adverb; Error Type: mistranslation ! That must have been a hallucination . Mr. Dursley blinked and stared at the cat. The cat stared back. *While Mr. Dursley came Part Of Speech: verb; Error Type: insertion around the corner and down the street drove , he watched the cat in his rearview mirror . Now they Part Of Speech: pronoun; Error Type: person read Part Of Speech: verb; Error Type: aspect the sign with the name of Privet Drive - no, she looked Part Of Speech: verb; Error Type: aspect at the sign. Cats could not read maps or signs. Mr. Dursley gave himself a little shake and chased Part Of Speech: verb; Error Type: mistranslation the cat out of his mind. *As he drove toward town he had only the big order for Part Of Speech: preposition; Error Type: mistranslation drills in the Part Of Speech: determiner; Error Type: insertion sense Part Of Speech: noun; Error Type: mistranslation that would arrive today hopefully .
*But in the suburbs the drills were replaced Part Of Speech: verb; Error Type: mistranslation by something else out of his thoughts . He was stuck in the usual morning traffic jam and could not help but notice that apparently a lot of strangely dressed people were traveling . People in long and wide cloaks . Mr. Dursley could not bear people who engaged Part Of Speech: verb; Error Type: mistranslation weird - like the young people were cleaning out Part Of Speech: verb; Error Type: mistranslation ! That probably Part Of Speech: adverb; Error Type: insertion had to be some stupid new fashion. He drummed his fingers on the steering wheel and his eyes fell on an accumulation Part Of Speech: noun; Error Type: mistranslation of these strange figures not far from him . *Excitedly, they whispered to each other . *Enraged presented Part Of Speech: verb; Error Type: mistranslation Mr. Dursley that some of them were not young; nanu, that man there had to be older than he was and wore Part Of Speech: verb; Error Type: aspect an emerald green cloak ! * [del] Part Of Speech: pronoun; Error Type: deletion Perhaps had nerve ! *But then Mr. Dursley fell Part Of Speech: verb; Error Type: mistranslation suddenly that this had to be a crazy fairing well Part Of Speech: noun; Error Type: mistranslation - the people gathered apparently for something ... yes , it Part Of Speech: pronoun; Error Type: mistranslation had to be [del] Part Of Speech: pronoun; Error Type: deletion . The line of cars moved, and a few minutes later, Mr. Dursley drove into the parking lot of his company , his thoughts again in Part Of Speech: preposition; Error Type: mistranslation the drills .
*In his office on the ninth floor Mr. Dursley always sat with his back to the window. Otherwise it would be Part Of Speech: verb; Error Type: tense difficult for him this Part Of Speech: pronoun; Error Type: mistranslation morning, to focus on the drills . *He did not notice the owls , past the shot in broad daylight , but rather Part Of Speech: conjunction; Error Type: mistranslation the people down in the street, they pointed to the skies and watched with open mouths looking like an owl flew away after another over their heads . Most of them had ever Part Of Speech: adverb; Error Type: insertion never seen one , not even at night. Mr. Dursley , however, spent Part Of Speech: verb; Error Type: mistranslation a very ordinary , owl -free morning. *He made Part Of Speech: verb; Error Type: mistranslation five different people to screw. He led Part Of Speech: verb; Error Type: mistranslation several important telephone calls , screaming a little louder. *By lunchtime he was brilliant mood and now wanted a little stretch their legs and get a donut at the bakery across the street.
*The people in the strange appearance he had long forgotten , but now , on the way to the bakery , he met some of these figures . In passing, he gave them angry looks. He did not know why, but she Part Of Speech: pronoun; Error Type: person caused him discomfort. Also this pack Part Of Speech: noun; Error Type: mistranslation here whispering excitedly and a collection box was nowhere to be seen . On the way back from the bakery , a bag with a large donut in his hand, he grabbed Part Of Speech: verb; Error Type: mistranslation a few words from them.
"The Potters , that's right , [del] Part Of Speech: pronoun; Error Type: deletion I 've heard Part Of Speech: verb; Error Type: tense - "
" - Yes , their son , Harry - "
Mr. Dursley stood rooted to the spot . Fear came over him . He turned around at Part Of Speech: preposition; Error Type: mistranslation the whisperers as if he wanted to tell them something, but then thought better of it .
*He quickly crossed the street , rushed up to the office, snapped at his secretary [del] Part Of Speech: conjunction; Error Type: deletion he did not want to be disturbed, grabbed the phone and had almost the number of selected Part Of Speech: verb; Error Type: mistranslation home when he changed his mind . He put the phone down and stroked his mustache. No, he thought , I 'm stupid . Potter was not a particularly unusual name . Sure Part Of Speech: adjective; Error Type: lexical category there were a lot of people who were called Potter and had a son named Harry. *Now that he thought about it, he was not even sure his nephew was called Harry really . He had not Part Of Speech: adverb; Error Type: mistranslation even seen the boy . He could also be called Harvey. Or Harold . There was no point in worrying Mrs. Dursley, they Part Of Speech: pronoun; Error Type: person [del] Part Of Speech: adverb; Error Type: deletion got ever so upset if you even mentioned her sister. *He made Part Of Speech: verb; Error Type: mistranslation her so Part Of Speech: adverb; Error Type: mistranslation no Part Of Speech: adjective; Error Type: mistranslation accusation Part Of Speech: noun; Error Type: mistranslation - if he had such a sister ... And yet , these people in cloaks ...
*That afternoon, he found it a lot harder to keep his mind on the drill Part Of Speech: noun; Error Type: number , and when he left the office at five clock , he was still so full of sorrow Part Of Speech: noun; Error Type: mistranslation that it Part Of Speech: pronoun; Error Type: person is Part Of Speech: verb; Error Type: mistranslation equal Part Of Speech: adjective; Error Type: lexical category collided with the Part Of Speech: determiner; Error Type: mistranslation first step out Part Of Speech: adverb; Error Type: mistranslation with someone.
"Sorry," he grumbled Part Of Speech: verb; Error Type: mistranslation , as the little old man came to stumble Part Of Speech: verb; Error Type: mistranslation and almost fell . *Only after a few seconds remarked Part Of Speech: verb; Error Type: mistranslation Mr. Dursley that the man was wearing a violet cloak. *That he had almost knocked him [del] Part Of Speech: preposition; Error Type: deletion did not seem to annoy him further Part Of Speech: adverb; Error Type: lexical category . *On the contrary, on his face opened up Part Of Speech: verb; Error Type: mistranslation a big smile , and the people who walked past , looked up Part Of Speech: preposition; Error Type: mistranslation when he said in a squeaky voice: " Today I forgive all , my dear Lord Part Of Speech: noun; Error Type: mistranslation , today I can not derail Part Of Speech: verb; Error Type: mistranslation ! *Let us rejoice , for You -Know -Who has gone at last from us! Even Muggles like you should celebrate this joyful , joyful day!
And the old man hugged Mr. Dursley around in Part Of Speech: preposition; Error Type: mistranslation belly height and departed thence .
Mr. Dursley stood rooted to the spot . A complete stranger had hugged him. *Also, he had probably been called a Muggle , whatever might be the one Part Of Speech: noun; Error Type: mistranslation . Totally messed up Part Of Speech: verb; Error Type: mistranslation he hurried to his car and drove home. *He hoped these things only to fancy Part Of Speech: verb; Error Type: mistranslation , and that was new for him because of imagination he usually kept nothing.
As he turned into the driveway of number four , as Part Of Speech: preposition; Error Type: mistranslation his glance fell first - and [del] Part Of Speech: pronoun; Error Type: deletion did nothing to improve his mood - on the tabby cat he 'd seen in the morning. She was now sitting on his garden wall. Certainly it was the same cat , and Part Of Speech: conjunction; Error Type: insertion she had the same pattern around the Part Of Speech: determiner; Error Type: mistranslation eyes.
">Shhh! " Mr. Dursley hissed loudly.
The cat did not move. She looked at him from Part Of Speech: preposition; Error Type: mistranslation serious eyes . *Was such a thing as Part Of Speech: adverb; Error Type: insertion normal for cats, Mr. Dursley wondered . He tried to pull herself Part Of Speech: pronoun; Error Type: gender together and opened the front door. Still, he was determined to say nothing of all this [del] Part Of Speech: preposition; Error Type: deletion his wife.
Mrs. Dursley had Part Of Speech: verb; Error Type: tense a nice , ordinary day behind Part Of Speech: preposition; Error Type: mistranslation . At dinner she told him all about Woman Nachbarins Part Of Speech: noun; Error Type: mistranslation problems with their Part Of Speech: pronoun; Error Type: person daughter and that Dudley had learned a new word ("Pooh"). *Mr. Dursley tried quite as Part Of Speech: adverb; Error Type: mistranslation always to give Part Of Speech: verb; Error Type: mistranslation . After Dudley had been put to bed , he went into the living room , where he watched the latest news on the evening news .
" And here's another message. As the bird watchers across the country report , our owls have behaved very unusually today. *Although owls normally hunt at night and during the day hardly be Part Of Speech: verb; Error Type: tense seen , these birds have been observed since sunrise hundreds of times , as they had flown Part Of Speech: verb; Error Type: tense back and forth across the country. Experts can not explain why the owls have suddenly changed their habits ." The newscaster allowed himself a grin. " Very mysterious. And now to Jim McGuffin with the weather. *Are owls more today evening showers expected , Jim?"
"Well, Ted ," said the weatherman , " said Part Of Speech: verb; Error Type: mistranslation I can not say, but it's not only the owls that have Part Of Speech: verb; Error Type: tense now behaving strangely . * Spectators Part Of Speech: noun; Error Type: mistranslation from as Part Of Speech: preposition; Error Type: mistranslation far away areas such as Kent , Yorkshire and Dundee have called me today and reported that all showers are descended Part Of Speech: verb; Error Type: aspect from Part Of Speech: preposition; Error Type: mistranslation shooting stars instead of the rain I promised yesterday! *Maybe people have celebrated Part Of Speech: verb; Error Type: tense too early New Year's Eve - that's still a while to go , ladies and gentlemen ! But I can promise a wet night for today Part Of Speech: adverb; Error Type: mistranslation ."
Mr. Dursley sat stiff as an icicle in his chair. Shooting stars all over Britain? Owls that flew in Part Of Speech: preposition; Error Type: mistranslation the day ? *Everywhere mysterious people in weird clothes? And a whisper , a whisper about the Potters ...
Mrs. Dursley came into the living room with two cups of tea . It was no use . He had to tell her something . He nervously cleared his throat. *"Uh - Petunia , dear - you have not heard lately from your sister , or "?
As he had feared , Mrs. Dursley looked at him , horrified and angry. * Finally Part Of Speech: adverb; Error Type: mistranslation , they did Part Of Speech: verb; Error Type: mistranslation so Part Of Speech: adverb; Error Type: insertion usually , as if she had no sister .
"No," she said sharply . "Why ?"
" Funny stuff in the news," Mr. Dursley mumbled . " Owls ... shooting stars ... and today [del] Part Of Speech: pronoun; Error Type: deletion were a lot of funny -looking people in town ...
"And ? " Snapped Mrs. Dursley .
"Well, I just thought ... maybe ... it has something to do with ... you know ... her coterie Part Of Speech: noun; Error Type: mistranslation .
" Mrs. Dursley sipped her tea with pursed lips . Could Part Of Speech: verb; Error Type: mistranslation he dare to tell her that he had heard the name " Potter "? No, he could not. *Instead, he remarked as casually as he could , " Their son - he would be about Dudley's age in Part Of Speech: preposition; Error Type: mistranslation , or ?"
"I suppose ," [del] Part Of Speech: verb; Error Type: deletion Mrs. Dursley stiffly .
"What was his name again ? *Howard , is not it ?"
" Harry. An ugly , common name , if you ask me ."
"Oh yes," said Mr. Dursley , and the Part Of Speech: determiner; Error Type: mistranslation heart Part Of Speech: noun; Error Type: mistranslation slipped Part Of Speech: verb; Error Type: mistranslation into his past Part Of Speech: noun; Error Type: mistranslation . "Yes , I agree with you ."
Until it was time to sleep and they went upstairs , he lost Part Of Speech: verb; Error Type: mistranslation not a word about it . While Mrs. Dursley was in the bathroom, Mr. Dursley crept to the bedroom window and peered down into the front garden. The cat was still there. She stared at Privet Drive as though it Part Of Speech: pronoun; Error Type: person was waiting for something .
*Was it his imagination everything one only ? Could all this have anything to do with the Potters ? If it was so ... and when came out that they were related to a pair of - no, he would Part Of Speech: verb; Error Type: mistranslation simply can Part Of Speech: verb; Error Type: mood not bear [del] Part Of Speech: pronoun; Error Type: deletion .
The Dursleys went to bed. Mrs. Dursley fell asleep quickly one Part Of Speech: preposition; Error Type: mistranslation , but Mr. Dursley lay awake and rolled Part Of Speech: verb; Error Type: mistranslation it all over again in my Part Of Speech: pronoun; Error Type: person head back and forth Part Of Speech: adverb; Error Type: mistranslation . Before he fell asleep , it Part Of Speech: pronoun; Error Type: person was Part Of Speech: verb; Error Type: mistranslation a last , comforting thought . *Even if the Potters had [del] Part Of Speech: noun; Error Type: deletion really to do with this story, there was no reason why they should show up at him Part Of Speech: pronoun; Error Type: case and Mrs. Dursley . *The Potters knew very well what he and Petunia from Part Of Speech: preposition; Error Type: mistranslation them and their kind thought ... *He could not think how he and Petunia should get [del] Part Of Speech: verb; Error Type: deletion into anything out there was going on - he yawned and turned over on his side - so would he and his wife have certainly nothing to do [del] Part Of Speech: preposition; Error Type: deletion [del] Part Of Speech: pronoun; Error Type: deletion ...
*How much Part Of Speech: adverb; Error Type: mistranslation he was mistaken .
Mr. Dursley might have hinübergeglitten Part Of Speech: verb; Error Type: mistranslation into an uneasy sleep, but the cat outside on the wall showed no sign of fatigue. She sat still as a statue , his Part Of Speech: pronoun; Error Type: gender eyes unblinking , focused on the more remote corner of Privet Drive . *No hairs stirred when a road was further slammed a car door or as two owls away buzzed Part Of Speech: verb; Error Type: mistranslation over her head. In fact, it was almost midnight when the cat was stirring Part Of Speech: verb; Error Type: aspect for the first time .
*At the corner , they Part Of Speech: pronoun; Error Type: person had observed Part Of Speech: verb; Error Type: case [del] Part Of Speech: preposition; Error Type: deletion a man appeared so suddenly and silently , as if he had grown straight from the ground. The cat's tail twitched and its eyes narrowed to slits.
A man like this had never been seen in Privet Drive . *He was tall, thin and very old , or at least close Part Of Speech: adverb; Error Type: mistranslation to the silver color of his hair and beard after Part Of Speech: adverb; Error Type: mistranslation , both were so long that they could have stuck in his belt. He wore a long robe , a purple cloak that touched the ground, and buckle boots with high heels. *His blue eyes shone sparkling behind half-moon spectacles out , and his nose was very long and crooked, as if it had broken Part Of Speech: verb; Error Type: mood at least twice. This man's name was Albus Dumbledore.
*Albus Dumbledore did not seem to notice that he had just appeared in a street where everything was welcome to Part Of Speech: preposition; Error Type: mistranslation him , from his name to his boots , by no means . Lost in thought, he rummaged through the pockets of his cloak . But Part Of Speech: preposition; Error Type: mistranslation apparently he noticed that he was being watched , because he suddenly looked over to Part Of Speech: preposition; Error Type: mistranslation the cat , which was still staring at him from the other end of the street. For some reason, the cat's sight Part Of Speech: noun; Error Type: mistranslation seemed to amuse him . He chuckled and muttered, " I should have known ."
In his pocket he had found what he was looking for. It looked like a silver cigarette lighter. He flipped open the lid , held it high in the air and let it snap . With a soft " plop " a street lamp went out in the vicinity. He turned again - and the next lantern flickered and went out. *Twelve times he switched Part Of Speech: verb; Error Type: mistranslation to Part Of Speech: preposition; Error Type: mistranslation the Ausmacher Part Of Speech: noun; Error Type: mistranslation until the only lights that could be seen all over the road yet Part Of Speech: adverb; Error Type: mistranslation , two little pinheads Part Of Speech: noun; Error Type: mistranslation in the distance were , and that was the cat , who was watching him the Part Of Speech: determiner; Error Type: mistranslation eyes. *No one who would now looked out the window , not even the keen-eyed Mrs. Dursley, anything would have noticed by now what happened on the sidewalk below. Dumbledore left Part Of Speech: verb; Error Type: mistranslation the Ausmacher Part Of Speech: noun; Error Type: mistranslation slip into the Part Of Speech: determiner; Error Type: mistranslation robe pocket and made his way along the road to number four , where he sat down on the wall next to the cat. He did not look at [del] Part Of Speech: pronoun; Error Type: deletion , but after a while he spoke to her .
"What a surprise to see you here , Professor McGonagall.
With a smile, he turned to the side, but the tiger cat was gone. *In their Part Of Speech: pronoun; Error Type: person place he smiled at a pretty serious -looking woman with glasses , the glasses were square as the pattern around the eyes of the cat. She also wore a cloak , an emerald green [del] Part Of Speech: pronoun; Error Type: deletion . Her black hair was tied back in a tight bun . She looked quite confused.
"How did you know it was me ? " She asked .
"My dear Professor, I 've never seen a cat sit so stiffly.
"They would also be stiff if you Part Of Speech: pronoun; Error Type: person 'd been sitting all day on a brick wall," said Professor McGonagall.
" The whole day ? Where Part Of Speech: adverb; Error Type: mistranslation you have yet to celebrate ? *I must have passed on the way to at least a dozen feasts and parties.
Angry Professor McGonagall snorted through the nose.
"Oh, yes , the whole world is celebrating , very nice ," she said impatiently. "You'd think they could be a bit more careful , but no - even the Muggles have noticed something 's going on. They took Part Of Speech: verb; Error Type: mistranslation it in Part Of Speech: preposition; Error Type: mistranslation their Part Of Speech: pronoun; Error Type: mistranslation messages Part Of Speech: noun; Error Type: mistranslation . " With a head jerking Part Of Speech: adjective; Error Type: mistranslation she pointed to the dark living room window of the Dursleys . "I' ve heard Part Of Speech: verb; Error Type: tense it . Swarms of owls ... shooting stars ... Well, they are not quite stupid again Part Of Speech: adverb; Error Type: mistranslation . You Part Of Speech: pronoun; Error Type: person just had to notice anything Part Of Speech: pronoun; Error Type: mistranslation . Shooting stars down in Kent - I 'll bet that was Dedalus Diggle . He was never particularly reasonable Part Of Speech: adjective; Error Type: mistranslation .
"You can not blame them ," said Dumbledore gently . "Eleven years we have had precious little to celebrate .
"I know," said Professor McGonagall irritably. "But that's no reason to lose your head . *People are just careless when in broad daylight roam outside on Part Of Speech: preposition; Error Type: mistranslation the streets and give Part Of Speech: verb; Error Type: mistranslation rumors for the best. At least they could attract Part Of Speech: verb; Error Type: mistranslation Muggle things.
She turned to Dumbledore with a sharp eye , as she hoped he would tell her something . But he was silent and she continued : "That would be a pretty kettle of fish when Part Of Speech: preposition; Error Type: mistranslation calculated Part Of Speech: preposition; Error Type: mistranslation on the day that You-Know -Who finally disappears, the Muggle Part Of Speech: noun; Error Type: number everything Part Of Speech: pronoun; Error Type: mistranslation would find out about us. I suppose he is really gone, Dumbledore ?
"It certainly looks [del] Part Of Speech: adverb; Error Type: deletion ," said Dumbledore . "We have to be grateful for many things. Would you like a shower Part Of Speech: noun; Error Type: mistranslation candy ?
"A what ?"
A lemon effervescent candy. *A sweet tooth Part Of Speech: noun; Error Type: mistranslation muggle , [del] Part Of Speech: preposition; Error Type: deletion which I'm very sharp Part Of Speech: verb; Error Type: mistranslation .
*"No, thank you," Professor McGonagall said coldly , as if not now is Part Of Speech: verb; Error Type: tense the right moment for sherbet Part Of Speech: noun; Error Type: mistranslation lemons Part Of Speech: noun; Error Type: number . " Like I said , even if You-Know -Who is really gone - "
*"My dear Professor , a reasonable person as Part Of Speech: preposition; Error Type: mistranslation you can but Part Of Speech: conjunction; Error Type: mistranslation it certainly name them Part Of Speech: pronoun; Error Type: person ? The whole nonsense with 'You -Know -Who' - for eleven years I' m trying Part Of Speech: verb; Error Type: tense to get people to call him by his real name . *Voldemort , " Professor McGonagall flinched , but Dumbledore , the Part Of Speech: determiner; Error Type: mistranslation two other Part Of Speech: adjective; Error Type: mistranslation sweets from the bag fished Part Of Speech: verb; Error Type: aspect , it Part Of Speech: pronoun; Error Type: mistranslation seemed to take no notice . *"It confused but only if we continually 'You-Know -Who say' . I've never seen why I should have fear to speak Voldemort's name.
"I know well," Professor McGonagall said, half applied Part Of Speech: adjective; Error Type: mistranslation , half admiringly. "But you're different . We all know that you are the only one You-Know ... um, well, Voldemort feared .
"You flatter me ," said Dumbledore quietly. " Voldemort had powers I will never have .
"Just because you - yes - are [del] Part Of Speech: adverb; Error Type: deletion noble to use them ."
"Lucky that it is dark. * So Part Of Speech: adverb; Error Type: mistranslation I am Part Of Speech: verb; Error Type: mistranslation no Part Of Speech: adverb; Error Type: mistranslation longer Part Of Speech: adverb; Error Type: mistranslation turned red , since Madam Pomfrey told me she liked my new earmuffs .
Professor McGonagall looked at Dumbledore sharply and said, " The owls are nothing compared to the rumors flying around . Do you know what they all say Part Of Speech: verb; Error Type: aspect ? *Why is he gone ? What has finally stopped him ?
*Apparently Professor McGonagall had reached the point beyond Part Of Speech: preposition; Error Type: mistranslation which they Part Of Speech: pronoun; Error Type: person wanted to talk about the real reason why she had been waiting all day on a cold, hard wall , for neither as a cat nor as a woman she had Dumbledore with such a piercing gaze nailed as right now. Whatever " all Part Of Speech: pronoun; Error Type: mistranslation " liked say , obviously she did Part Of Speech: verb; Error Type: mood not believe it until she had heard it from the mouth of Dumbledore. The Part Of Speech: pronoun; Error Type: person however, took another shower Part Of Speech: adjective; Error Type: mistranslation lemon candy and said nothing.
" What do they say ," [del] Part Of Speech: pronoun; Error Type: deletion urged them Part Of Speech: pronoun; Error Type: person on, " is in fact that last night Voldemort turned up in Godric 's Hollow . He was looking for the Potters. According to the rumor are Lily and James Potter - they are - dead "
Dumbledore slowly lowered his head . Professor McGonagall stopped breathing .
"Lily and James ... I can not believe it ... I did not believe it ... Oh , Albus ...
Dumbledore reached out and patted her gently on the shoulders Part Of Speech: noun; Error Type: number . "I know ... I know ... " he said in a husky voice.
Professor McGonagall went on in a trembling voice: " That's not all . *It is said that he tried to kill Harry Potter's son . But - he could not. He could not kill that little boy . No one knows why or how, but it is [del] Part Of Speech: verb; Error Type: deletion , as Part Of Speech: conjunction; Error Type: mistranslation he could not kill Harry Potter , Voldemort's power fell in on itself - and that's why he is gone .
Dumbledore nodded gloomily .
"Is that - ? True," stammered Professor McGonagall. "After all the things he has done - after all the people he killed - he could not kill a little boy ? This is just unbelievable ... just that sets it to an end ... *but how in heaven's Harry could survive that?
"We can only guess ," said Dumbledore . "Maybe we 'll never know .
Professor McGonagall pulled out a lace handkerchief and dabbed at her eyes beneath the Part Of Speech: determiner; Error Type: mistranslation glasses. *Dumbledore pulled a golden clock Part Of Speech: noun; Error Type: mistranslation from his pocket and gave a long sniff of Part Of Speech: preposition; Error Type: insertion itself Part Of Speech: pronoun; Error Type: insertion . It was a very curious clock Part Of Speech: noun; Error Type: mistranslation . She Part Of Speech: pronoun; Error Type: person had twelve hands but no numbers ; instead, little planets turning Part Of Speech: verb; Error Type: tense in her Part Of Speech: pronoun; Error Type: mistranslation lap Part Of Speech: noun; Error Type: mistranslation . *Dumbledore had in any case this clock Part Of Speech: noun; Error Type: mistranslation to Part Of Speech: preposition; Error Type: mistranslation tell Part Of Speech: verb; Error Type: mood something, because he put it back in the bag and said, " Hagrid [del] Part Of Speech: verb; Error Type: deletion late. By the way, I suppose he told you that I would come here ?
"Yes," said Professor McGonagall. *"And I do not suppose you will tell me , why are you here of all places ?
"I've come to bring Harry to his aunt and uncle. They are the only ones in the family who are still left to him .
*" You do not mean - you simply can not [del] Part Of Speech: determiner; Error Type: deletion people think that stay here ," cried Professor McGonagall , jumping up and pointing at number 4 " Dumbledore - you can not. I've seen Part Of Speech: verb; Error Type: mistranslation all day. You could not find two people who resemble us less. *And they have this boy - I' ve seen Part Of Speech: verb; Error Type: tense how he tortured his mother all the way down the street and Part Of Speech: conjunction; Error Type: mistranslation screaming for sweets . Harry Potter [del] Part Of Speech: verb; Error Type: deletion and live here ?
"This is the best place for him," Dumbledore said firmly. » Uncle and aunt will be able to explain everything to him when he is older. I have written them a letter .
"A letter? " Repeated Professor McGonagall with stifling Part Of Speech: adjective; Error Type: mistranslation voice and sat back down on the wall. "Really, Dumbledore , you think you can explain all this in a letter ? These people will never understand him! *He'll be famous - a legend - I would not be surprised if the current day is called in the future Harry Potter day - all the books you Part Of Speech: pronoun; Error Type: person will write about Harry - every child in our world will know his name "
