Mnemonic


[du-] Dumbledore is in the [4] bathroom of the [-(e)n] infirmary trying to escape from the muggle doctors who think he is crazy and not a wizard. He yanks off one of the bathroom stall doors and carves into it with his wand an 目 eye topped by a 十 cross, making a magical 盾 shield. Before the nurses can catch him, he jumps out the bathroom window and down the 厂 cliff, using the 盾 shield to safely sled down and away.
