Romilda Vane Invites Harry to Join Her Compartment

PAGES: 138-139

A bold third-year student, Romilda Vane, interrupts Harry, Luna, and Neville on the train, inviting Harry to sit with her and her friends. She insinuates that Harry's friends are uncool, but Harry firmly rejects her offer, saying that Luna and Neville are his friends. After Romilda leaves, Luna remarks on the perception that Harry's friends aren't “cool,” and Harry reassures them of their importance.
