Ron-Weasly book 1. V2 part 4-3

Didn't he perform the familiar binding ritual on his toad? What the hell was he driving her at all? This is my pet rat, he doesn't give a damn about anything anymore after the twins' jokes. Although, as long as I can remember, he was very calm: he ate and slept. Yes, sometimes I played with Percy and my rat. And then, after another joke, he used to get up on his hind legs and squeak indignantly.

Hagrid led us up a flight of stone stairs, lighting the way with a huge lamp.

Another flight of stairs and now we were standing in front of a huge oak door.

"Is everyone here?" Hagrid asked. Then he loudly counted the freshmen. "Hey, have you lost your toad yet?"

Neville hugged his pet closer.

After making sure that everything was in order, Hagrid raised his huge fist and knocked three times on the castle door.
