`‐.And.make.no.mistake,.we.ll.hear.about.it,..added.Lupin.pleasantly..
`Yes,..said.Mr.Weasley,.`even.if.you.won.t.let.Harry.use.the.fellytone.=.
`Telephone,..whispered.Hermione..
`‐.Yeah,.if.we.get.any.hint.that.Potter.s.been.mistreated.in.any.way,.you.ll.have.us.to.answer.to,..said.Moody..
Uncle.Vernon.swelled.ominously..His.sense.of.outrage.seemed.to.outweigh.even.his.fear.of.this.bunch.of.oddballs..
`Are.you.threatening.me,.sir?..he.said,.so.loudly.that.passers‐by.actually.turned.to.stare..
`Yes,.I.am,..said.Mad‐Eye,.who.seemed.rather.pleased.that.Uncle.Vernon.had.grasped.this.fact.so.quickly..
`And.do.I.look.like.the.kind.of.man.who.can.be.intimidated?..barked.Uncle.Vernon..
`Well…..said.Moody,.pushing.back.his.bowler.hat.to.reveal.his.sinisterly.revolving.magical.eye..Uncle.Vernon.leapt.backwards.in.horror.and.collided.painfully.with.a.luggage.trolley..`Yes,.I.d.have.to.say.you.do,.Dursley..
He.turned.away.from.Uncle.Vernon.to.survey.Harry..
`So,.Potter….give.us.a.shout.if.you.need.us..If.we.don.t.hear.from.you.for.three.days.in.a.row,.we.ll.send.someone.along…..
Aunt.Petunia.whimpered.piteously..It.could.not.have.been.plainer.that.she.was.thinking.of.what.the.neighbours.would.say.if.the.t.caught.sight.of.these.people.marching.up.the.garden.path..
`Bye,.then,.Potter,..said.Moody,.grasping.Harry.s.shoulder.for.a.moment.with.a.gnarled.hand..
`Take.care,.Harry,..said.Lupin.quietly..`Keep.in.touch...
`Harry,.we.ll.have.you.away.from.there.as.soon.as.we.can,..Mrs.Weasley.whispered,.hugging.him.again..
`We.ll.see.you.soon,.mate,..said.Ron.anxiously,.shaking.Harry.s.hand..
`Really.soon,.Harry..said.Hermione.earnestly..`We.promise...
Harry.nodded..He.somehow.could.not.find.words.to.tell.them.what.it.meant.to.him,.to.see.them.all.ranged.there,.on.his.side..Instead,.he.smiled,.raised.a.hand.in.farewell,.turned.around.and.led.the.way.out.of.the.station.towards.the.sunlit.street,.with.Uncle.Vernon,.Aunt.Petunia.and.Dudley.hurrying.along.in.his.wake..
