391 was gog through ihe rest of the old prophets and there
was a ty announcent about eileen prce arryg a an called tobias snape, and then ter an announcent sayg that she39d given birth to a -39
39- urderer,39 spat harry
39well yes,39 said herione 39 1 was rt of right snape t have been proud of beg ”half a prce”, you see? tobias snape was a ie fro what it said the prophet39

illiant i was at potions shouldn39t have left his old book the botto of that cupboard, should he?39
39but why didn39t he turn you ?39
39i don39t ihk he wanted to asciate hiself with that book,39 said herione 39i don39t thk dubledore would have liked it very uch if he39d known and even if snape pre-tended it hadn39t been his, sgho would have regnised his writg at once anyway, the book was left snape39s old cssroo, and i39ll bet dubledore knew his other was called ”prce”39
