Ancient and shriveled, many people said he hadn't noticed he was dead.

Professor Binns opened his notes and began to read in a flat drone like an old vacuum cleaner until nearly everyone in the class was in a deep stupor,

He had been speaking for half an hour when something happened that had never happened before. Hermione put up her hand.
