Read this extract from ‘Harry Potter’

Answer the questions below.

October arrived, spreading a damp chill over the grounds and into

the castle. Madam Pomfrey, the nurse, was kept busy by a sudden

spate of colds among the staff and students. Her Pepperup potion

worked instantly, though it left the drinker smoking at the ears for

several hours afterward. Ginny Weasley, who had been looking pale,

was bullied into taking some by Percy. The steam pouring from under

her vivid hair gave the impression that her whole head was on fire.

Raindrops the size of bullets thundered on the castle windows for

days on end; the lake rose, the flower beds turned into muddy

streams, and Hagrid's pumpkins swelled to the size of garden sheds.

Oliver Wood's enthusiasm for regular training sessions, however,

was not dampened, which was why Harry was to be found, late one

stormy Saturday afternoon a few days before Halloween, returning

to Gryffindor Tower, drenched to the skin and splattered with mud.

Even aside from the rain and wind it hadn't been a happy practice

session. Fred and George, who had been spying on the Slytherin

team, had seen for themselves the speed of those new Nimbus Two

Thousand and Ones. They reported that the Slytherin team was no

more than seven greenish blurs, shooting through the air like

missiles.

As Harry squelched along the deserted corridor he came across

somebody who looked just as preoccupied as he was. Nearly Headless

Nick, the ghost of Gryffindor Tower, was staring morosely out of a

window, muttering under his breath.
