If he was going to act like a real Muggle, he'd better start now.

Slowly and sadly he gathered up all his presents and his birthday cards and hid them under the loose floorboard with his homework.

Then he went to Hedwig's cage. Errol seemed to have recovered;

he and Hedwig were both asleep, heads under their wings.

Harry sighed, then poked them both awake.

And don't look at me like that' — Hedwig's large amber eyes were reproachful, 'it's not my fault.

It's the only way I'll be allowed to visit Hogsmeade with Ron and Hermione.'
只有这样，我才能得到允许，和罗恩、赫敏一块儿到霍格莫德去。”
Ten minutes later, Errol and Hedwig (who had a note to Ron bound to her leg) soared out of the window and out of sight.
十分钟以后，埃罗尔和海德薇（它腿上绑着给罗恩的便条）飞出了窗子。

In next to no time, Aunt Petunia was shrieking up the stairs for Harry to come down and get ready to welcome their guest.
