Assignment 8

I.

word

meaning

context

example

to put up with smb/smth (p. 143)

to accept unpleasant behaviour or an unpleasant situation, although you do not like it

Still, first-year Gryffindors only had Potions with the Slytherins, so they didn’t have to put up with Malfoy much.

He was put up to it by his friends he was so selflessly devoted to.

to make a fool of oneself (p. 143)

to behave in a silly or embarrassing way

“Just what I always wanted. To make a fool of myself on a broomstick in front of Malfoy.”

Passing himself off as a professional fisherman, he made a fool of himself by confusing sardines with sprats.

to hang on to smb's every word (p. 144)

to listen very carefully to what sb is saying because of admiring or respecting them

Neville was hanging on to her every word, desperate for anything that might help him hang on to his broomstick later, but everybody else was very pleased when Hermione’s lecture was interrupted by the arrival of the mail.

Isaiah told me that prawns are bigger than shrimp, lobsters are longer than crabs and buckwheat is not actually wheat, so when he started to speak about hazelnuts, peanuts and walnuts, I hung on to his every word.

to stick up for smb (p. 148)

to support someone or something when they are being criticised

“Ooh, sticking up for Longbottom?” said Pansy Parkinson, a hard-faced Slytherin girl.

Silas doesn’t need your bewitching drawling voice to stick up for him.

to save smb's neck (p. 149)

rescue someone from danger or difficulty

“No Crabbe and Goyle up here to save your neck, Malfoy,” Harry called.

Oh, don’t even ‘sorry’ at me, why do you always blurt out some ‘simpleton,’ ‘crackpot’ or ‘git’ and I have to save your neck?

not to have a clue what/etc. (p. 151)

to be completely unable to guess, understand, or deal with something

He didn’t have a clue what was going on, but he didn’t seem to be being expelled, and some of the feeling started coming back to his legs.

How can I keep my hair on when I still haven’t a clue why Holly’s sidling into her own house!

to overhear (p. 154)

to hear what someone is saying when they are not talking to you

“I couldn’t help overhearing what you and Malfoy were saying —”

Even though they all chorused, I overheard that gangly boy saying, ‘My dreadlocks are less fake than your mellow voice.’

to be bound to be/do smth (p. 154)

certain to do something, or certain to happen

“— and you mustn’t go wandering around the school at night, think of the points you’ll lose Gryffindor if you’re caught, and you’re bound to be.”

You are surely bound to be nervous rummaging in the first purse you snatched; but don’t fret, I’m here not to let you stew in your own juice and to help with getting rid of the conscience.

to back smb up (p. 156)

to say that someone is telling the truth

If he finds all three of us I’ll tell him the truth, that I was trying to stop you, and you can back me up.

I’m backing up the very head boy, eat your heart out, Plevako!

to run into smb (p. 157)

to meet someone you know when you are not expecting to

At every turn Harry expected to run into Filch or Mrs. Norris, but they were lucky.

That night Bartholomew ran into a shrieking swarthy girl and found it was the one.

to chicken out (p. 157)

to decide not to do something because you are too nervous

“He’s late, maybe he’s chickened out,” Ron whispered.

What bliss it was for Philip to finally quit chickening out, despite having to face being punched at times.

to trick smb (p. 159)

to deceive someone

“Malfoy tricked you,” Hermione said to Harry.

Easily the dearest ambition of Krash is to trick the conductor and get away with it, but Carlin has more about him than you might think.

VI.

  1. That’s a play on words, a zeugma to be precise, as at first it is “hang on to’s” figurative meaning and then the literal one.

  2. Harry is afraid of making a fool of himself in front of Malfoy. Ron would tell anyone who’d listen about the time he’d almost hit a hang glider on Charlie’s old broom. Hermione had tried to learn how to fly by heart out of a book, which doesn’t work like that. Malfoy talked about flying a lot. The way Seamus told it, he’d spent most of his childhood zooming around the countryside on his broomstick. Neville is nervous, jumpy and frightened of being left on the ground.

  3. Neville started off too early and didn’t cope with the control, fell down and broke his wrist. Malfoy took a magic ball that belonged to Neville while he is away and decided to put it onto a tree. Harry found he could easily fly up the broom; he scared Malfoy and got the ball back.

  4. It is a very under-pressure moment for Harry, which is described gloomily enough. He’s afraid he’s to be expelled, live with the Dursleys again or become Hagrid’s assistant, having to see his friends grow up and become really powerful.

  5. Oliver almost skipped. Fred and George have their hopes on the newbie.

  6. It didn’t. Malfoy ratted on Harry, so he had to run away from Filch.

  7. They escaped not only being punished by the teachers but also being slayed by a monster dog.

  8. Ron takes words from the idioms and superfluous polite set expressions of Hermione and replies using them in their literal meaning.

  9. No, here it means insignificant.

  10. “On the other hand, Malfoy’s sneering face kept looming up out of the darkness — this was his big chance to beat Malfoy face-to-face.” & “Hermione had got both her breath and her bad temper back again.”

  11. to care about smth (p. 155) – to think that something is important and to feel interested in it or worried about it; to care for smb – to love someone; to care for smth – “Would you care for sth” is used to ask someone if they want something; to take care of smth – to look after something

  12. confused - unable to think clearly or to understand something

puzzled - confused because you do not understand something

bewildered - very confused and not sure what to do

stunned - shocked or surprised very much

VII.

  1. "Typical!" (p. 143) – showing that you expected all the bad characteristics from someone or something; an expression of vexation

  2. "That's enough!" (p. 150) – it’s said to tell someone, especially a child, to stop behaving in a silly, noisy or unpleasant way

  3. "You've got some nerve" (p. 156) – criticizing sb for doing sth which you feel they had no right to do

  4. "… on earth …" (p. 161) - used when you are extremely surprised, confused, or angry about something; here it may sound ambiguous, as if you are asked ‘where exactly on the planet,’ even though it probably was not intended to
