“There's no getting away from it: you have to clean.”
“Bad news, Harry. I've just been to see Professor McGonagall about the Firebolt. She â€“ er, got a bit shirty with me. Told me I'd got my priorities wrong. Seemed to think I cared more about winning the Cup than I do about staying alive. Just because I told her I didn't care if it threw you off, as long as you caught the Snitch first.”
