Harry Potter and the half-blood prince

" Bill told me 'ow Fred and George are very amusing ! " said Fleur, smiling serenely.

"Yes, I can hardly breathe for laughing," snapped Hermione.

[Fleur n'est pas plus appréciée de Hermione, que de Molly, la mère de Bill. Le ton employé ici est bien sûr sarcastique]

" Thanks, Bill, said Harry, pocketing his gold.

" He is always so thoughtful," purred Fleur adoringly, stroking Bill's nose. Ginny mimed vomiting into her cereal behind Fleur. Harry choked over his cornflakes and Ron thumped him on the back.

[Fleur, toujours en admiration devant Bill, frère de Ron, et son futur mari. Dans le tome 6, elle n'est pas vraiment bien intégrée dans sa belle-famille car tout le monde croit qu'elle épouse Bill avant tout pour son physique. Tout ça jusqu'à ce qu'un horrible accident défigure Bill...]

" If you are wondering what the smell is, Mother, a Mudblood just walked in," said Draco Malfoy.

' No, don't, honestly, it's not worth it...'

' Yeah, like you'd dare do magic out of school,' sneered Malfoy. 'Who blacked your eye Granger ? I want to send them flowers.'

' That's quite enough !' said Madam Malkin sharply, looking over her shoulder for support. [...]

Narcissa Malfoy strolled out from behind the clothes rack.

' Put those away,' she said coldly to Harry and Ron. 'If you attack my son again, I shall ensure that is the last thing you ever do.'

' Really ?' said Harry [...] He was as tall as she was now. 'Going to get a few Death Eater pals to do us in, are you ?'

[une rencontre qui tourne mal entre les Malfoy et la bande de Harry. Draco emploie un ton toujours aussi méprisant quand il croise Hermione. Cela est dû à ses origines : mi-humaine, mi-sorcière]
