In the Gryffindor stands, there was much talking during the game. (Not by Sally-Anne Perks, though; when someone asked her a question, her answers were brief as she blushed red.) Harry was explaining to the MMA Quidditch-virgins how the game was played, MMA students were informing Gryffindors what life in MMA was like—and Ron Weasley was telling Harry and Hermione, in a speaking voice louder than a whisper, that his former best friends had mistreated him and he did not like this.
