Chapter 5: An Excess of Phlegm
In this chapter... Molly Weasley makes Harry some dinner and Harry learns that Mr Weasley has been promoted, at the Ministry. Fred and George’s joke shop – Weasleys’ Wizard Wheezes – is going from strength to strength, in Diagon Alley. Tonks – Nymphadora Tonks – is also there when Harry and Professor Dumbledore arrive. Her usual bubble-gum pink hair is mousy brown and she looks unhappy. The next morning, Hermione and Ron wake Harry up. Harry is surprised when Fleur Delacour walks into his bedroom with a loaded breakfast tray. Fleur is part-Veela – she took part in the Tri-Wizard Tournament two years ago. She is engaged to Bill Weasley, and they are getting married. Not many of the Weasley’s like her very much.
Harry tells Hermione and Ron about the Prophecy, and is pleased that they don’t react the way he thought they would. Later in the day the O.W.L. (Ordinary Wizarding Levels) results arrive for the Trio. Harry has got 7 O.W.L.’s – he only failed History of Magic and Divination. Ron did the same. Hermione seems slightly disappoint with ten Outstanding’s and one Exceeds Expectations. Harry’s burning ambition, to become an Auror, however, looks like it will remain just that. Harry does not secure a high-enough Potions grade to continue with the required course.

“Molly! I’ve got to ask you your question first!”
“Arthur, really, this is just silly…”
“What do you like me to call you when we’re alone together?”
Even by the dim light of the lantern, Harry could tell that Mrs Weasley had turned bright red; he himself felt suddenly warm around the ears and neck, and hastily gulped soup, clattering his spoon so loudly as he could against the bowl.
“Mollywobbles,” whispered a mortified Mrs Weasley into the crack at the edge of the door.

What grade did Harry get for Herbology? E – Exceeds Expectations

Chapter 6: Draco's Detour
In this chapter... Harry is enjoying his stay at the Burrow. There are daily reports of deaths and disappearances. Ollivander, the wand maker has disappeared, and so has Florean Fortescue, the man who owned the ice-cream parlour in Diagon Alley. They all go to Diagon Alley to get their school supplies. The trio are really looking forward to seeing Weasleys’ Wizard Wheezes. Hagrid is waiting for them in Diagon Alley; he is there to keep an eye on Harry.
The Trio go into Madam Malkin’s for new robes. They are unpleasantly surprised to find Draco Malfoy in there getting fitted for robes with his mother. They narrowly avoid brawling with Malfoy, and Harry catches him acting strangely when Madam Malkin tries to touch his arm. While in Fred and George’s new shop – which is full of people – Harry sees Draco walk past the shop alone, and decides to follow him under his Invisibility Cloak. The Trio follow Draco to Knockturn Alley and see him go into Borgin and Burkes. Harry went in that shop in his second year, and hid in a cabinet, to hide from Draco and his father. With a pair of Ron's Extendable Ears, they listen as Malfoy threatens Borgin to fix something of his. When Malfoy leaves Hermione goes into the shop to see if she can find out any more information, but Borgin quickly realizes what she's up to and throws her out. The Trio go back to Weasleys’ Wizard Wheezes and pretend they have been there all along.

Why are you worrying about You-Know-Who?

The constipation sensation that’s gripping the nation!

Chapter 3: Will And Won't
In this chapter... Harry Potter is sitting by his bedroom window, in number four, Privet Drive. Harry received a letter from Professor Dumbledore to say that he would be collecting Harry from the Dursleys at 11 pm, that evening. But Harry has not packed, in case the letter was a joke or a trap. However, Professor Dumbledore arrives at the appointed time. Dumbledore's arrival is less-than-welcome to the Dursley's. Vernon looks at Professor Dumbledore with loathing while Petunia seems frightened, as is Dudley.
Professor Dumbledore seems to have injured his wand hand – his hand is black and burnt. Harry learns that Sirius left him everything in his will – including 12 Grimmauld Place and Kreacher the house-elf. Harry hates Kreacher as Kreacher betrayed Sirius. When Kreacher arrives at Privet Drive, and throws a tantrum, Harry send him to Hogwarts, so that he can work at the kitchens – and also, the other house-elves can keep an eye on him. As Harry and Dumbledore are leaving, Dumbledore reprimands the Dursley's for never showing Harry any kindness. Professor Dumbledore says that Harry must be allowed to come back one more time to Privet Drive before he comes of age next year. Harry and Professor Dumbledore leave Privet Drive.

“You did not do as I asked. You have never treated Harry as a son. He has known nothing but neglect and often cruelty at your hands. The best that can be said is that he has at least escaped the appalling damage you have inflicted upon the unfortunate boy sitting between you.”

What time does Professor Dumbledore collect Harry from Privet Drive? 11 pm

Chapter 4: Horace Slughorn

Professor Dumbledore is taking Harry on a mysterious errand. Harry questions Dumbledore about what's been going on in the wizarding world while he's been stuck at the Dursley's. Harry finds out that the reason his scar hasn't burned once is because Voldemort is now practicing Occlumency against him. Professor Dumbledore and Harry are going to visit an old colleague, Horace Slughorn. When they arrive at Professor Slughorn’s home, it looks as if there has been a vicious attack – all the blood horrifies Harry. Professor Dumbledore quickly unmasks Horace Slughorn, who had transfigured himself into an armchair.
Slughorn is a fussy old man, who likes to associate himself with famous and powerful people. Slughorn doesn’t seem to want to look at Harry. Professor Dumbledore tries to persuade Horace to take up a teaching post at Hogwarts. Slughorn refuses, it is too dangerous. Professor Dumbledore leaves the room, and Harry learns that Horace Slughorn knew his mother. Slughorn used to teach at Hogwarts, and thought very highly of Lily Evans. He used to be head of Slytherin House. Slughorn doesn’t seem to think much of Muggle born witches and wizards. Harry is able to, inadvertently, convince Slughorn to come back to work at Hogwarts. Professor Dumbledore and Harry now Apparate to the Burrow. Harry is not sure if he likes Horace Slughorn – or, Professor Slughorn as he is now.
At the Burrow, Professor Dumbledore informs Harry that they'll be taking private lessons together. He praises Harry at how well he is handling Sirius’s death. He tells Harry that he should tell Ron and Hermione about the prophecy regarding him and Voldemort, because he needs his friends.

“Let us not deprive Molly any longer of the chance to deplore how thin you are.”

What did Professor Slughorn transform into, when he was trying to hide from Harry and Professor Dumbledore? An armchair

She reassures Harry that one day he will see Sirius again, just as she will see her mother again one day. When the Hogwarts Express reaches King’s Cross Station again, Harry is met by all the Weasleys, Lupin, Mad Eye, and Tonks.
