Read the passage from the book "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone" by J.K. Rowling.

"Dumbledore slipped the Put-Outer back inside his cloak and set off down the street toward number four, where he sat down on the wall next to the cat. He didn’t look at it, but after a moment he spoke to it.

"Fancy seeing you here, Professor McGonagall."

He turned to smile at the tabby, but it had gone. Instead he was smiling at a rather severe-looking woman who was wearing square glasses exactly the shape of the markings the cat had had around its eyes. She, too, was wearing a cloak, an emerald one. Her black hair was drawn into a tight bun. She looked distinctly ruffled.

"How did you know it was me?" she asked.

"My dear Professor, I’ve never seen a cat sit so stiffly."

"You’d be stiff if you’d been sitting on a brick wall all day," said Professor McGonagall.

"All day? When you could have been celebrating? I must have passed a dozen feasts and parties on my way here."

Professor McGonagall sniffed angrily.

"Oh yes, everyone’s celebrating, all right," she said impatiently. "You’d think they’d be a bit more careful, but no — even the Muggles have noticed something’s going on. It was on their news." She jerked her head back at the Dursleys’ dark living-room window. "I heard it. Flocks of owls... shooting stars....”

"You can’t blame them," said Dumbledore gently. "We’ve had precious little to celebrate for eleven years."

"I know that," said Professor McGonagall irritably. "But that’s no reason to lose our heads. People are being downright careless, out on the streets in broad daylight, not even dressed in Muggle clothes, swapping rumors." She threw a sharp, sideways glance at Dumbledore here, as though hoping he was going to tell her something, but he didn’t, so she went on. "A fine thing it would be if, on the very day You-Know-Who seems to have disappeared at last, the Muggles found out about us all. I suppose he really has gone, Dumbledore?"

Read the passage from the book Maniac Magee from Jerry Spinelli.

"Maniac loved trash talk. The words were different, but in some strange way they reminded him of church. It had spirit, it had what they called soul. Pretty soon he was talking trash with the rest of them.

And pretty soon he brought it home.

Mrs. Beale was pressing her famous meatloaf into a baking pan one day, when Maniac started talking his trash to her. Her eyes shot open. She straightened up. "Wha’d you say?"

He said some more.

At first she couldn’t believe her ears. When she did believe them, she didn’t like it. She didn’t like this boy bringing the vacant lot into her kitchen, and she didn’t like how it fit his mouth. So she put a stop to it right then and there and slapped that trash-talking mouth.

Her lip started to quiver before his, but before she could say "I’m sorry," he was hugging and squeezing her and burying his face in her chest and sobbing, "I love you . . . I love you . . ."
