Please feel free to talk to me!

“Harry Potter has to go into the lake and find his Wheezy—”

“Find my what?”

“—and take his Wheezy back from the merpeople!”

“What’s a Wheezy?”

“Your Wheezy, sir, your Wheezy - Wheezy who is giving Dobby his sweater”

“What?” Harry gasped. “”They’ve got… they’ve got Ron?”

“The thing Harry Potter will miss most, sir!”

mediumaevum:

Isidore of Seville [7th century CE] 
Whales are immense beasts, with bodies equal to mountains. They have their name from emitting water, for the Greek ballein means emit; they raise waves higher than those of any other sea beast. They are called monsters (cete) because of their horribleness. The whale that swallowed Jonah was of such size that its belly resembled hell; as Jonah says (Jonah 2:2): “He heard me from the belly of hell.”

A magnificent many-finned whale catches fish, while misguided sailors, thinking it to be an island, try to land on its back.
