This is a phrase from the book "Harry Potter and The Goblet of Fire" when harry decides to ask the
pretty Ravenclaw girl Cho Chang to go to the Yule
Ball with him, as his nerves take over him, his
words come out in a jumble of sounds, excerting : "wangoballwime"
'Er - Cho? Could i have a word with you?'
Giggling should be made illegal, thought Harry furiously, as all the
girls around Cho started doing it. she didn'
t though. She said 'OK' and followed him out of earshot of her classmates.
Harry turned to look at her, and his stomach gave a weird lurch as though he missed a step going downstairs.
'Er' he said.
he couldn'
t ask her. he couldn'
t. but he had to. Cho stood there looking puzzled, watching him.
The
words came out before Harry had quite got his tongue around them.
'Wangoballwime?'
'sorry?' said Cho.
