Another bit from Backward With Purpose that I'd forgotten:
Pronounced "shy guy."
Quote:“You claimed that Harry Potter used a charm to tie Pettigrew up with magic,” Umbridge said. “Where did he learn this charm?” she giggled, a little tinkle of a sound that made Harry want to strangle her. “I do not believe that it is taught to second years.”
Don’t say anything rude, Ron, don’t do it, Harry prayed. He needn’t have feared.
“Oh,” Ron said. “Harry and I looked through my older brother Percy’s spell books.”
“Why?” she pressed. “Isn’t learning the required spells enough of a challenge?”
“Well,” Ron said. “We’re both pretty… pretty good at Defense Against the Dark Arts. And we wanted to learn more about them.”
“No other reason?” she asked. She sounded as though she did not believe him.
Ron’s ears turned bright red, and Harry squeezed his eyes shut. “Well…” he looked over at his mother. “My brothers… they like to have a laugh. We thought we’d… surprise them.”
Harry could see heads nodding in the crowd. He wondered if Fred and George knew that their reputation extended beyond Hogwarts. Despite the situation, Harry wanted to grin.
“Where did you practice these spells?”
“In the common room,” Ron said promptly. “Mostly when we knew that they were out flying or at dinner. It was over the holidays.”
“You practiced on each other?”
“Yeah,” Ron said slowly. Harry felt a sickening drop in his stomach, though he did not know why. What is going on here?
“Do you often allow Harry Potter to tie you up using magic?”
