1 - the direct style;
2 - indirect style;
3 - free indirect style.

- Hey, Harry, "said Hagrid. Did not offer you anything, but I remembered I had it.
He pulled out a small purse at the sight slightly downy, with a long cord obviously intended to be passed around the neck.
- Skin Moke. You can hide what you want in there, and only its owner can recover what he has put. Rare that stuff.
