1.) How is it possible to still feel trapped on an island this large and populated?

2.) Did it have to be cats? I was quite fond of not having fuzzy ears. Now I know how Hermione felt...

3.) There's a shop here I'm interested in. I think it's called Marauding Magic. What can anyone tell me about it? Thanks in advance.

That's the one. Didn't know how familiar you would be. I'm the official island champion of Exploding Snap.

As for trapped... it comes and it goes, mon ami. On a good day I'm a king in his court. On a bad day, just a beggar in a Madripoor slum. Like everybody, I think.

My friends and I used to play in our dormitory a lot at school when we were kids. That and wizard's chess.

Nice to meet you. I'm Harry. Harry Potter.

What determines the good and bad days for you?

Luck of the draw. If a pretty girl smiles at me. If somebody flinches when they meet my eyes. If the sun is out. Every day, there's something.

Do the pieces explode in wizard's chess?

[seeked]

Just like that? It seems really simple.

They don't really explode, but they sort of rough each other up and break apart.

My kind of game.

Like most things, it's simple to keep it going. A little trickier to start.

Try playing a life-size version of it and then we'll talk.

How did you get started?

Used to be, if I ate that day, it was a good day. That was a long time ago.
