- Room 11.
- Hedwig.
- Right smart bird you got there, Mr. Potter. He arrived here just five minutes before yourself.
- As Minister for Magic, it is my duty to inform you, Mr. Potter, that earlier this evening your uncle's sister was located a little south of Sheffield, circling a chimney stack. The Accidental Magic Reversal Department was dispatched immediately. She has been properly punctured and her memory modified. She will have no recollection of the incident whatsoever. So that's that and no harm done.
