Harry: Hi! My name’s Harry Potter I’m a wizard.
I have a lightning bolt shaped scar on my forehead given to me by Volde...er…He-who-must-not-be-named.
(bragging) I suppose I am pretty good at Quidditch. I’m the Gryffindor seeker so I’m a good flyer.
Draco: Give them a break, Potty! No one wants to hear about you!
(proudly) Everyone knows Slytherin’s got the best Seeker!
Ron: (angrily) Can it Malfoy!
Harry: Those are my best friends, Ron and Hermione. We do everything together!
Ron: (pondering) Mark of the Wizard, huh? Hmm, let’s see…
Hermione: (matter-of-factly) You’re not very good at potions, Ron!
Ron: (disappointed) Hermione!
Hermione: Oh Ron! I’m just playing! No one can be good at Potions when Snape’s teaching!
Ron: (furiously) *speech omitted for use of profanity*
Harry: Speaking of Snape, I can think of another “Mark of a Wizard” that we have failed to mention.
Hermione: (scratches head) What mark is that?
Harry: You’ve seen it first hand, Hermione! It’s the Dark Mark!
Ron: (panicked) EEKK! The mark of You-Know-Who!
Hermione: Oh, Ron!
Ron: (clutches chest) Phew! It’s gone!
Hermione: (blushing) Aww! He’s so cute when he is scared!
Harry: (perplexed) Hey Hermione… How come you’re blushing?
Hermione: (blushing extensively) Am I?
Ron: (thinking while ears turn red) She’s so cute when she blushes!
Harry: Ah yes! The other marks of a wizard: Blushing and obtaining a red hue of the ears!
Ron and Hermione: What??
I DON’T KNOW WHAT YOU’RE TALKING ABOUT!
Harry: And that brings me to the final mark of a wizard!
