Then the clock tower chimed.
“We should put it in the freezer,” Ron said.
The spell hit the frozen imp. Nothing happened. Then the screen stuttered. The imp’s arm moved, just once, and threw the ice shard directly at the screen. Not at Harry’s character—at the screen . harry potter and the prisoner of azkaban pc game frozen imp
“Blasted thing,” Ron muttered from the second player spot, though his character just stood there, robes clipping through a bench. “It’s the third one this week.”
He looked at the imp in the ice. It nodded.
“Creepy,” Ron said.
