PART III
Out spilled a chorus line of can-can dancers. They started to sing:
Here is a large blue box
Inside is a man with beautiful locks
That dance to music that nobody hears
Suddenly, a young, Roman-looking laddie in an 80s disco outfit ran out and said, ‘They’re obviously talking about me.’

I’m cooler than all of you... us!
And my hair is pulchritudinous!
Ego sum pulcherrimaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa... us!
Quintus had joined the line of can-can dancers and loud music blared. Flashing lights flashed, a spotlight fixed to Quintus’s forehead ensured that it would always point at him, and confetti shot into the air, fluttering all around. Quintus struck a pose.
‘Well,’ said Snape, ‘this is awkward.’
