Chapter 9 - A Place to Hide “When you say you’ve got the Cloak, and clothes . . .” said Harry, frowning at Hermione, who was carrying nothing except her small beaded handbag, in which she was now rummaging. “Yes, they’re here,” said Hermione, and to Harry and Ron’s utter astonishment, she pulled out a pair of jeans, a sweatshirt, some maroon socks,…

Chapter 25 - The Seer Overheard Harry found himself newly and happily impervious to gossip over the next few weeks.

Q1…
