"Never mind, Amos,” said Mrs Weasley. “Sure you won’t have a bit of toast or anything before you go?”
“Oh go on, then,” said Mr Diggory.
Mrs Weasley took a piece of buttered toast from a stack on the kitchen table, put it into the fire tongs, and transferred it into Mr Diggory’s mouth.
“Fanks,” he said in a muffled voice, and then, with a small pop, vanished.
