169 "You had it to yourself all last night, give me a bit more time." "You're only holding the Quidditch cup, what's interesting about that. I want to see my parents." "Don't push me --" A sudden noise outside in the corridor put an end to their discussion.
They hadn't realized how loudly they had been talking.
"Quick!" Ron threw the cloak back over them as the luminous eyes of Mrs. Norris came round the door. Ron and Harry stood quite still, both thinking the same thing -- did the cloak work on cats. After what seemed an age, she turned and left.
"This isn't safe -- she might have gone for Filch, I bet she heard us.
Come on." And Ron pulled Harry out of the room.
The snow still hadn't melted the next morning.
"Want to play chess, Harry." said Ron.
"No." "Why don't we go down and visit Hagrid." "No... you go..." "I know what you're thinking about, Harry, that mirror. Don't go back tonight." "Why not." "I dunno, I've just got a bad feeling about it -- and anyway, you've had too many close shaves already. Filch, Snape, and Mrs. Norris are wandering around. So what if they can't see you. What if they walk into you. What if you knock something over." "You sound like Hermione."
