HARRY: Does anyone feel like...we shouldn't be here?
HERMIONE: We're not supposed to be here. This is the third floor. It's forbidden.

Quote #8
HERMIONE: What's wrong, Harry?
HARRY: It's too simple.
RON: Oh, go on, Harry! If Snape can catch it on that old broomstick, you can! You're the youngest seeker in a century!
