Harry Potter and the Triangle Prophecy - Sahits

“I know Otto’s a Muggle. Of course he is.”“I don’t mean the real milkman. I mean the fellow you disarmed, Harry. He’s a Muggle.”“But--but he was using a wand to get into the house--”“Was he? Are you certain?”Harry’s head was spinning. “I don’t understand--he was breaking and entering, wasn’t he?And the Nelsons were away when they normally wouldn’t have been--”“Actually, it turns out that Mrs. Nelson’s neice had a baby and she and her husband flew toFlorida to spend a fortnight visiting.

Where did he get the wand? It’s a good one, chestnutand dragon heartstring. And how did he manage to get it to perform magic?”Harry frowned. None of this was making sense. Muggles performing magic?“So--”“So we have been paying very close attention to Mr. Jeffries since last November and we areas mystified about him as you are right now.”“Well, I’d also like to know how he just happens to be in Little Whinging just as I happen tobe starting my holiday....”48
