" It's a letter from my godfather." " Godfather?" sputtered Uncle Vernon. " You haven't got a godfather!" " Yes, I have," said Harry brightly. " He was my mum and dad's best friend. He's a convicted murderer, but he's broken out of wizard prison and he's on the run. He likes to keep in touch with me, though...keep up with my news...check if I'm happy.... "

2 " Jordie and I tried to have sex in the kitchen and almost caught it on fir. I was cleaning smoke and burned shit off my brand-new stove all afternoon." Lacey's face twisted in confusion and she sputtered with laughter. " Do I even want to know how this happened?" Kacey grinned. " He threw my shirt on the stove, and I had forgotten to shut it off. Boom! Flames, fire "

3 " Holy shit," somebody muttered in the dark." A virgin," sputtered another." I didn't know they still made them." " He just did. "

Sorry," said Jonas with his moth stuffed. " It's good." He finished chewing. I took a bite of sausage. It was warm and the skin was deliciously salty."
