  • (..) Bloody... Oh, bloody... What are those? What are those? - My dress robes. - Well, they're all right! No lace. No dodgy little collar. Well, I expect yours are more traditional. Traditional?! They're ancient! I look like my Great Aunt Tessie! I smell like my Great Aunt Tessie. Murder me, Harry. (..)
