He turned to smile at Fill in the blank 1 of 20 tabby, but it had gone. Instead he was smiling at Fill in the blank 2 of 20 rather severe-looking woman who was wearing Fill in the blank 3 of 20 square glasses exactly Fill in the blank 4 of 20 shape of Fill in the blank 5 of 20 markings Fill in the blank 6 of 20 cat had had around its eyes. She, too, was wearing Fill in the blank 7 of 20 cloak, Fill in the blank 8 of 20 emerald one. Her black hair was drawn into Fill in the blank 9 of 20 tight bun. She looked distinctly ruffled.
“How did you know it was me?” she asked.
“My dear Professor, I’ve never seen Fill in the blank 10 of 20 cat sit so stiffly.”
“You’d be stiff if you’d been sitting on Fill in the blank 11 of 20 brick wall all Fill in the blank 12 of 20 day,” said Professor McGonagall.
“All Fill in the blank 13 of 20 day? When you could have been celebrating? I must have passed Fill in the blank 14 of 20 dozen feasts and parties on my way here.”
Professor McGonagall sniffed angrily.
“Oh yes, everyone’s celebrating, all right,” she said impatiently. “You’d think they’d be Fill in the blank 15 of 20 bit more careful, but no — even Fill in the blank 16 of 20 Muggles have noticed something’s going on. It was on their news.” She jerked her head back at Fill in the blank 17 of 20 Dursleys’ dark living-room window. “I heard it. Fill in the blank 18 of 20 flocks of owls… Fill in the blank 19 of 20 shooting stars…. Well, they’re not completely stupid. They were bound to notice something. Fill in the blank 20 of 20 shooting stars down in Kent — I’ll bet that was Dedalus Diggle. He never had much sense.”

“You can’t blame them,” said Dumbledore gently. “We’ve had Fill in the blank 1 of 15 precious little to celebrate for eleven years.”
“I know that,” said Professor McGonagall irritably. “But that’s no reason to lose our heads. Fill in the blank 2 of 15 people are being downright careless, out on Fill in the blank 3 of 15 streets in Fill in the blank 4 of 15 broad daylight, not even dressed in Fill in the blank 5 of 15 Muggle clothes, swapping Fill in the blank 6 of 15 rumours.”
She threw Fill in the blank 7 of 15 sharp, sideways glance at Dumbledore here, as though hoping he was going to tell her something, but he didn’t, so she went on. “Fill in the blank 8 of 15 fine thing it would be if, on Fill in the blank 9 of 15 very day YouKnow-Who seems to have disappeared at last, Fill in the blank 10 of 15 Muggles found out about us all. I suppose he really has gone, Dumbledore?”
“It certainly seems so,” said Dumbledore. “We have much to be thankful for. Would you care for Fill in the blank 11 of 15 lemon drop?”
“Fill in the blank 12 of 15 what?”
“Fill in the blank 13 of 15 lemon drop. They’re Fill in the blank 14 of 15 kind of Fill in the blank 15 of 15 Muggle sweet I’m rather fond of”

“No, thank you,” said Professor McGonagall coldly, as though she didn’t think this was Fill in the blank 1 of 8 moment for Fill in the blank 2 of 8 lemon drops. “As I say, even if You-Know-Who has gone -“
“My dear Professor, surely Fill in the blank 3 of 8 sensible person like yourself can call him by his name? All this ‘You- Know-Who’ nonsense — for eleven years I have been trying to persuade Fill in the blank 4 of 8 people to call him by his proper name: Voldemort.” Professor McGonagall flinched, but Dumbledore, who was unsticking Fill in the blank 5 of 8 two lemon drops, seemed not to notice. “It all gets so confusing if we keep saying ‘You-Know-Who.’ I have never seen any reason to be frightened of saying Fill in the blank 6 of 8 Voldemort’s name.
“I know you haven’t, said Professor McGonagall, sounding half exasperated, half admiring. “But you’re different. Everyone knows you’re Fill in the blank 7 of 8 only one You-Know- oh, all right, Voldemort, was frightened of.”
“You flatter me,” said Dumbledore calmly. “Voldemort had Fill in the blank 8 of 8 powers I will never have.”
“Only because you’re too — well — noble to use them.”
“It’s lucky it’s dark. I haven’t blushed so much since Madam Pomfrey told me she liked my new earmuffs.”
