Harry Asks Professor McGonagall for Hogsmeade Permission

PAGES: 149-150

After hearing that he cannot go to Hogsmeade, Harry decides to ask Professor McGonagall if he can go, explaining that his aunt and uncle forgot to sign his permission form. Professor McGonagall, although somewhat sympathetic, firmly denies Harry's request, citing the school's rules. This leaves Harry feeling isolated as his classmates prepare for the trip.
