"You have an astronomy attic?" Ford asked, raising an eyebrow. Did the addition of a qualifying word mean that Dodonus had multiple attics? That would be quite unusual, but Ford supposed with magic all things were possible. It would be strange to use an expanding charm to provide multiple attics instead of extra bedrooms or living space, but Dodonus' house was already strange, so that would be right in line with Ford's expectations, really. Having a whole space dedicated to astronomy probably wasn't any more strange than having a potion workshop, which the Greengrass house had, except that Noble actually needed a workshop, because he made his living off of potions. Dodonus made his living tricking Muggles out of their pocket change (or spent his time doing that, anyway; if he had a house like this he probably didn't need to make a living at all), so having an observatory upstairs seemed like an unnecessary extravagance, to say the least.

"What do you do with it?" he asked, tilting his head with curiosity. "Is it just for stargazing?"
