Design a healthy meal

As a school, we use a Talk for Writing technique. Can you create actions for each piece word and draw an icon in your book?As Harry squelched along the deserted corridor, he came across somebody who looked just as preoccupied as he was. Nearly Headless Nick, the ghost of Gryffindor

Tower, was staring morosely out of a window, muttering under his breath, “don’t fulfil their requirements … half an inch, if that …”"Hello Nick," said Harry."Hello," replied Nearly Headless Nick, looking around. He wore a dashing, plumed hat on his long, curly hair and a tunic with a ruff, which concealed the fact that his neck was almost completely severed. He was as pale as smoke, and Harry could see right through him to the dark sky and torrential rain outside.“You look troubled, young Potter,” said Nick, folding a transparent letter as he spoke and tucking this in his doublet. “So do you,” said Harry.“Ah,” Nearly Headless Nick waved an elegant hand “a matter of no importance… it’s not as though I really wanted to join … thought I’d apply, but apparently ‘I don’t fulfil the requirements’!”In spite of his airy tone, there was a look of great bitterness on his face. “But you would think, wouldn’t you?” he erupted suddenly, pulling the letter back out of his pocket, “that getting hit forty five times in the neck with a blunt axe would qualify you to join the Headless Hunt?” “Oh – yes,” replied Harry, who was obviously supposed to agree.“I mean nobody wishes more than I do that it had all been quick and clean, and my head had come off properly, I mean, it would have saved me a great deal of pain and ridicule. However…” Nearly Headless Nick shook his letter open and read furiously."We can only accept huntsmen whose heads are completely removed from their bodies. If not, it would be impossible for members to join in Horseback head juggling and Head Polo. Unfortunately, I have to tell you that you do not meet our requirements. With very best wishes, Sir Patrick."Fuming, Nearly Headless Nick put the letter away.“Half an inch of skin and sinew holding my neck on, Harry! Most people would think that’s good and beheaded, but oh no, it’s not enough for Sir Properly Decapitated-Podmore.”

While Dudley lolled around watching and eating ice creams, Harry cleaned the windows, washed the car, mowed the lawn, trimmed the flowerbeds pruned and watered the roses and repainted the garden bench. Harry knew he shouldn’t have risen to Dudley’s bait, but Dudley knew the very thing he had been thinking himself … maybe he didn’t have any friends at Hogwarts … “Wish they could see the famous Harry Potter now,” he thought savagely, as he spread manure on the flower beds, his back aching, sweat running down his face.It was half past seven in the evening when at last, exhausted, he heard Aunt Petunia calling him.“Get in here! And walk on the newspaper!”Harry moved gladly into the shade of the gleaming kitchen. On top of the fridge stood tonight’s pudding: a huge mound of whipped cream and sugared violets. A joint of roast pork was sizzling in the oven. “Eat quickly! The Masons will be here soon!” snapped Aunt Petunia, pointing to two slices of bread and a lump of cheese on the kitchen table. She was already wearing a salmon-pink cocktail dress. Harry washed his hands and bolted down his pitiful supper. The moment he had finished, Aunt Petunia whisked away his plate. “Upstairs! Hurry!”As he passed the door to the living room, Harry caught a glimpse of Uncle Vernon and Dudley in bow-ties and dinner jackets. He had only just reached the upstairs landing when the doorbell rang and Uncle Vernon’s furious face appeared at the foot of the stairs.“Remember, boy – one sound…”Harry crossed to his bedroom on tiptoe, slipped inside, closed the door and turned to collapse on the bed.The trouble was, there was already someone sitting on it.Harry managed not to shout out, but it was a close thing. The little creature on the bed had large, bat-like ears and bulging green eyes the size of tennis balls. Harry knew instantly that this was what had been watching him out of the garden hedge that morning. As they stared at each other, Harry heard Dudley’s voice from the hall. “May I take your coats, Mr and Mrs Mason?” The creature slipped off the bed and bowed so low that the end of its long thin nose touched the carpet. Harry noticed that it was wearing what looked like an old pillowcase, with rips for arm and leg holes.“Er – hello,” said Harry nervously.“Harry Potter!” said the creature, in a high-pitched voice Harry was sure would carry down the stairs. “So long has Dobby wanted to meet you, Sir…such an honour it is”.“Th-thank you,” said Harry, edging along the wall and sinking into his old desk chair, next to Hedwig, who was asleep in her large cage. He wanted to ask, “What are you?” but thought it would sound too rude, so instead he said “Who are you?”“Dobby, sir, just Dobby. Dobby the house-elf,” said the creature. “Oh – really?” said Harry. “Er – I don’t want to sound rude or anything, but – this isn’t a great time for me to have a house-elf in my bedroom.”

Aunt Petunia’s high, false laugh sounded from the living room. The elf hung his head. “Not that I’m not pleased to meet you,” said Harry quickly, “but, er, is there a particular reason you’re here?”“Oh, yes, sir,” said Dobby earnestly. “Dobby has come to tell you, sir … it is difficult, sir… Dobby wonders where to begin...”“Sit down,” said Harry politely, pointing at the bed.To his horror, the elf burst into tears – very noisy tears.“S-sit down!” he wailed. “Never…never ever…”Harry thought he heard the voices falter downstairs.“I’m sorry,” he whispered. “I didn’t mean to offend you or anything.”“Offend Dobby!” chocked the elf. “Dobby has never been asked to sit down by a wizard – like an equal –“Harry, trying to say “Shhh!” and look comforting at the same time, ushered Dobby back onto the bed, where he sat hiccoughing, looking like a large and very ugly doll. At last he managed to control himself, and sat with great eyes fixed on Harry in an expression of watery adoration.“You can’t have met many decent wizards,” said Harry, trying to cheer him up.Dobby shook his head. Then, without warning, he leapt up and started banging his head furiously on the window shouting, “Bad Dobby! Bad Dobby!”“Don’t what are you doing?” Harry hissed, springing up and pulling Dobby back on the bed. Hedwig had woken up with a particularly loud screech and was beating her wings wildly against the cage. “Dobby had to punish himself, sir,” said the elf, who had gone slightly cross-eyed. “Dobby almost spoke ill of his family, sir…”“Your family?”“The wizard family Dobby serves, sir … Dobby is a house-elf – bound to serve one house and one family for ever –““Do they know you’re here?” asked Harry curiously.Dobby shuddered.“Oh, no, sir, no … Dobby will have to punish himself most greviously for coming to see you, sir. Dobby will have to shut his ears in the oven door for this. If they ever knew, sir - ”“Dobby doubts it, sir. Dobby is always having to punish himself for something, sir. They let Dobby get on with it, sir. Sometimes they remind me to do extra punishments …”“But why don’t you leave? Escape?”“A house-elf must be set free, sir. And the family will never set Dobby free… Dobby will serve the family until he dies, sir…”Harry stared.
