Rock Cake
‘This is Ron,’ Harry told Hagrid, who was pouring boiling water into a large teapot and putting rock cakes onto a plate.
‘Another Weasley, eh?’ said Hagid, glancing at Ron’s freckles. ‘I spent half me life chasin’ yer twin brothers away from the Forest.’
The rock cakes almost broke their teeth, but Harry and Ron pretended to be enjoying them as they told Hagrid all about their first lessons.
