I'm sure each of you joins me in expressing what a deep honour it was today to welcome Our Lord to Hogwarts. It is a testament to the unparalleled quality of our library that He should require its resources. We have materials available nowhere else in the world, and our library is undeniably the finest and most ancient collection of its kind.

I for one will never enter the library again without thinking what a privilege it is to attend this school which Our Lord Himself attended, an institution unrivaled anywhere.

Well, we don't all have castles and servants, you know! Some of us have to work hard to get ahead.

But yeah, you're probably right! Did you see what Mr Crouch told Mr Malfoy? Oh, that would be wonderful, if they could catch him! We'd all sleep a little safer, I expect.

But we probably shouldn't talk about it in case he sees and takes measures to get away. You wouldn't want to be responsible for that!

You don't really think

I reckon your right, we shouldn't say anything else.
