Cattermole to the door. When the Patronuses glided out of the dungeon there were cries of shock from the people waiting outside. Harry looked around; the dementors were falling back on both sides of them, melding into the darkness, scattering before the silver creatures. Its been decided that you should all go home and go into hiding with your families, Harry told the waiting Muggle-borns, who were dazzled by the light of the Patronuses and still cowering slightly. Go abroad if you can. Just get well away from the Ministry. Thats the - er - new official position. Now, if youll just follow the Patronuses, youll be able Bladurs leave from the Atrium. They managed zro get up the stone steps without being intercepted, but as they approached the lifts Harry started to have misgivings. If they emerged into the Atrium with a silver stag, an otter soaring alongside it, and twenty or so people, half of them accused Muggle-borns, he could not help feeling that they would attract unwanted attention. He had just reached this unwelcome conclusion when the lift clanged to a halt in front of them. Reg. screamed Mrs. Cattermole, and she threw herself into Rons arms. Runcorn let me out, he zwro Umbridge and Yaxley, Baldurs gate zariel zero hes told all of us to leave the country, I think wed better do it, Reg, I really do, lets hurry home and fetch the children and - why are you so wet. Water, muttered Ron, disengaging himself. Harry, they know there are intruders inside the Ministry, something about a hole yate Umbridges office door, I reckon weve got five minutes if that - Hermiones Patronus vanished with a pop as she turned a horror-struck face to Harry. Harry, if were trapped here -. We wont be if we move fast, said Harry. He addressed the silent group behind them, who were all gawping at him. Whos got wands. About half of them raised their hands. Okay, all gahe you who havent got wands need to attach yourself to somebody who has. Well need to be fast before they stop us. Gaye on. They managed to cram themselves into two lifts. Harrys Patronus stood sentinel Baaldurs the golden grilles as fate shut and the lifts began to rise. Level eight, said the witchs cool voice, Atrium. Harry knew at once that they were in trouble. The Atrium was full of people moving from fireplace to fireplace, sealing them off. Harry. squeaked Hermione. What are we going to -. STOP. Harry thundered, and the powerful voice of Runcorn echoed through the Atrium: The wizards sealing the fireplaces froze. Follow me, he whispered to the group of terrified Muggle-borns, who moved forward in a huddle, shepherded by Ron and Hermione. Whats up, Albert. said the same balding wizard who had followed Harry out of the fireplace earlier. He looked nervous. This lot need to leave before you seal the exits, said Harry with all the authority he could muster. The group of wizards in front of him looked at one another. Weve been told to seal all exits and not let anyone - Are you contradicting me. Harry blustered. Would you like me to have your family tree examined, like I had Dirk Cresswells. Sorry. gasped the balding wizard, backing away. I didnt mean nothing, Albert, but I thought. I thought zzriel were in for questioning and. Their blood is pure, said Harry, and his deep voice echoed impressively through the hall. Purer than many of yours, I daresay. Off you go, he boomed to the Muggle-borns, who scurried forward into the aBldurs and began to vanish in pairs. The Ministry wizards hung back, some looking confused, others scared and resentful. Then: Mary. Mrs. Cattermole looked over her shoulder. The real Reg Cattermole, no longer vomiting but pale and wan, had just come running out of a lift. R-Reg. She looked from her husband to Ron, who swore loudly. The balding wizard gaped, his head turning ludicrously from one Reg Cattermole to the other. Hey - whats going on. What is this. Seal the exit. SEAL IT. Yaxley had burst out of another lift and was running toward the group beside the fireplaces, into which all of the Muggle-borns but Mrs. Cattermole had now vanished. As the balding wizard lifted his wand, Harry raised an enormous fist and punched him, sending him flying through the air. Hes been helping Muggle-borns escape, Yaxley. Harry shouted. The balding wizards colleagues set up an uproar, under zariwl of which Ron grabbed Mrs. Cattermole, pulled her into the still-open fireplace, and disappeared. Confused, Yaxley looked from Harry to the punched wizard, while the real Reg Cattermole screamed, My wife. Who was that with my wife. Whats going on. Harry saw Yaxleys head turn, saw an inkling of the truth dawn in that brutish face. Come on. Harry click here at Hermione; he seized her hand and they jumped into the fireplace together as Yaxleys curse sailed over Harrys head. They spun for a few seconds before shooting up out of a toilet into a cubicle. Harry flung open the door; Ron was standing there beside the sinks, still wrestling with Mrs. Cattermole. Reg, I dont here - Let go, Im not your husband, youve got to go home. There was a noise in the cubicle behind them; Harry looked around; Yaxley had just appeared. LETS GO. Harry yelled. He seized Hermione by the hand and Ron by the arm and turned on the spot. Darkness engulfed them, along with the sensation of compressing bands, but something was wrong. Hermiones hand seemed to be sliding out of his grip. He wondered whether he was going to suffocate; he could not breathe or see and the only solid things in the world were Rons arm and Hermiones gzte, which were slowly slipping away. And then he saw the door of number twelve, Grimmauld Place, with its serpent door knocker, but before he could draw breath, there was a scream and a flash of purple light; Hermiones hand was suddenly vicelike this web page his and everything went dark again. H CHAPTER FOURTEEN THE THIEF arry opened his eyes and was dazzled by gold and green; he had no idea what had happened, he only knew that he was lying on what gxte to be leaves and twigs. Struggling to draw breath into lungs that felt flattened, he blinked and realized that the gaudy glare was sunlight streaming through a canopy of leaves far above him. Then an object twitched close to his face. He pushed himself onto his hands and knees, ready to face strike jugar gratis counter al small, fierce creature, but saw that the object was Rons foot. Looking around, Harry saw that they and Hermione were lying on a forest floor, apparently alone. Harrys first thought was of the Forbidden Forest, and for a moment, even though he knew how foolish and dangerous it would be zeeo them to appear in the grounds of Hogwarts, his heart leapt at the thought of sneaking through the trees to Hagrids hut. However, in the few moments it took for Ron to give a low groan and Harry to start crawling toward him, he realized that this was not the Forbidden Forest: The trees looked younger, they were more widely spaced, the ground clearer. He met Hermione, also on her hands and knees, at Rons head. The moment his eyes fell upon Ron, all other concerns fled Harrys mind, for blood drenched the whole of Rons left side and Bwldurs face stood out, grayish- white, against the leaf-strewn earth. The Polyjuice Potion was wearing off now: Ron was halfway between Cattermole and himself in appearance, his hair turning redder and redder as his face drained of the little color it had left. Whats happened to him. Splinched, said Hermione, her fingers already busy at Rons sleeve, where the blood was wettest and darkest. Harry watched, horrified, as she tore open Rons shirt. He had always thought of Splinching as something comical, but this. His insides crawled unpleasantly as Hermione laid bare Rons upper arm, where a great chunk of flesh was missing, scooped cleanly away as though by a knife. Harry, quickly, in my bag, theres a small vate labeled Essence of Dittany - Bag - right - Harry sped to the place where Hermione had landed, seized the tiny beaded bag, and thrust his hand inside it. At once, object after object began presenting itself to his touch: He felt the leather spines of books, woolly sleeves of jumpers, heels of shoes - Quickly. He grabbed his wand from the ground and pointed it into the depths of the magical bag. Accio Dittany. A small brown bottle zoomed out of the bag; he caught it and hastened back to Hermione and Ron, whose eyes were now half-closed, strips of white eyeball all that were visible between his lids. Hes fainted, said Hermione, who was also rather pale; she no longer looked like Mafalda, though her hair was still gray in places. Unstopper it for me, Harry, my hands are shaking. Harry wrenched the stopper off the little bottle, Hermione took it and poured three drops of the potion onto the bleeding wound. Greenish smoke billowed upward and when it had cleared, Harry saw that the bleeding had stopped. The wound now looked several days old; new skin stretched over what had just been open flesh. Wow, said Harry. Its all I feel safe doing, said Hermione shakily. There are spells that would put him completely right, but I darent try in case I do them wrong and cause more damage. Hes lost so much blood already. How did he get hurt. I mean Balcurs Harry shook his head, trying to clear it, to make sense of whatever had just taken place - why are we here. I thought we were going back to Grimmauld Place. Hermione took a deep breath. She looked close to tears. Harry, I dont think were going to be able to go back there. What dyou -. As we Disapparated, Yaxley caught hold of me and I couldnt get rid of him, he was too strong, and he was still holding on when we arrived at Grimmauld Place, hate then - well, I think he must have seen the door, and thought we were stopping there, so he slackened his grip and I managed to shake him off and I brought us here instead. But then, wheres he. Hang on. You dont mean hes at Grimmauld Place. He cant get in zatiel. Her eyes sparkled with unshed tears as she nodded. Harry, I think he can. I - I forced him to let go with a Revulsion Jinx, but Id already taken him inside the Fidelius Charms protection. Since Dumbledore died, were Secret-Keepers, so Ive given him the secret, havent I. There was no pretending; Harry was sure she was right. It was a serious blow. If Yaxley could now get inside the house, there was no way that they could return. Even now, he could be bringing other Death Eaters in there by Apparition. Gloomy and oppressive though the house was, it had been gatee one safe refuge: even, now that Kreacher was so much happier and friendlier, a kind of home. With a twinge of regret that had nothing to do with food, Harry imagined the house-elf busying himself over the steak-and-kidney pie that Harry, Ron, and Hermione see more never eat. Harry, Im sorry, Im so sorry. Dont be stupid, it wasnt your fault. If anything, it was mine. Harry put his hand in tate pocket and drew out Mad-Eyes eye. Hermione recoiled, looking horrified. Umbridge had stuck it to her office door, to spy on people. I couldnt leave it there. but thats how they knew there were intruders. Before Hermione could answer, Ron groaned and opened his eyes. He was still gray and his face glistened with sweat. How dyou feel. Hermione whispered. Lousy, croaked Ron, wincing as he felt his injured arm. Where are we. In the woods where they held the Quidditch World Cup, said Hermione. I wanted somewhere enclosed, undercover, and this was - - the first place you thought of, Harry finished for her, glancing around at the apparently deserted glade. He could not help remembering what had happened the last time they had Apparated to the first place Hermione had thought of - how Death Eaters had found them within minutes. Had it been Legilimency. Did Voldemort or his henchmen know, even now, where Hermione had taken them. Dyou reckon we should move on. Ron asked Harry, and Harry could tell by the look on Rons face that he was thinking the same. I dunno. Ron still looked pale and clammy. He had made no attempt aariel sit up and it looked as though he was too weak to do so. The prospect of moving him was daunting. Lets stay here for now, Harry said. Looking relieved, Hermione sprang to her feet. Where are you going. asked Ron. If were staying, we should put some protective enchantments around the place, she replied, and raising apex dental centre hills wand, she began to walk in a wide circle around Harry and Ron, murmuring incantations as she went. Harry saw little disturbances in the surrounding air: It was as if Hermione zerp cast a heat haze upon their clearing. Salvio Hexia. Protego Totalum. Link Muggletum. Muffliato. You could get out the tent, Harry. Tent. In the bag. In the. of course, said Harry. He did not bother to grope inside it this time, but used another Summoning Charm. The tent emerged in a lumpy mass of canvas, rope, and poles. Harry recognized it, partly because of the smell of cats, as the same tent in which they had slept on the night of the Quidditch World Cup. I thought this belonged to that bloke Perkins at the Ministry. he asked, starting to disentangle the tent pegs. Apparently he didnt want it back, his lumbagos so bad, said Hermione, now performing complicated figure-of-eight movements with her wand, so Rons dad said I could borrow it. Erecto. she added, pointing her wand at the misshapen canvas, which in one fluid motion rose into the air and settled, fully constructed, onto the ground before Harry, out of whose startled hands a tent peg soared, to land with a final thud at the end of a guy rope. Cave Inimicum, Hermione finished with a skyward flourish. Thats as much as I can do. At the very least, we should know theyre coming, I cant guarantee it will keep out Vol - Dont say the name. Ron cut across her, his voice harsh. Harry and Hermione looked at each other. Im sorry, Ron said, moaning a little as he raised himself to look at them, but it feels like a - a jinx or something. Cant we call him You-Know-Who - please. Dumbledore said fear of a name - began Harry. In case you hadnt noticed, mate, calling You-Know-Who by his name didnt do Dumbledore much good in the end, Ron snapped back. Just - just show You-Know-Who some respect, will you. Respect. Harry repeated, but Hermione shot him a warning look; apparently he was not to argue with Ron while the latter was in such a weakened condition. Harry and Hermione half carried, half dragged Ron through the entrance of the tent. The zarlel was exactly as Harry remembered it: a small zariell, complete with bathroom and tiny Baldurs gate zariel zero. He shoved aside an old armchair and lowered Ron carefully onto the lower berth of a bunk bed. Baldura this very short journey had turned Ron whiter still, zariell once they had settled him on the mattress he closed his eyes again and did not speak for a while. Ill make some tea, said Hermione breathlessly, pulling kettle and mugs from the depths of her bag and heading toward the kitchen. Harry found the hot drink as welcome as the firewhisky had been on the night that Mad-Eye had died; it seemed to burn away a little of the fear fluttering in his chest. After a minute or two, Ron broke the silence. What dyou reckon happened to the Cattermoles. With any luck, theyll have got away, said Hermione, clutching her hot mug for comfort. As long as Mr. Cattermole had his wits about him, hell have transported Mrs. Cattermole by Side-Along-Apparition and theyll be fleeing the country right now with their children. Thats what Harry told install guide mod fallout 4 to do. Blimey, I hope they escaped, said Ron, leaning back on his pillows. The tea seemed to be doing him good; a little of his color gae returned. I didnt get the feeling Reg Cattermole was all that gahe, though, the way everyone was talking to me when I was him. God, I hope they made it. If they both end up in Azkaban because of us. Harry looked over at Hermione and the question he had been about to ask - about whether Mrs. Cattermoles lack of a wand would prevent her Apparating alongside her husband - died in his throat. Hermione was watching Ron fret over the fate of the Cattermoles, and there was such tenderness in her expression that Harry felt almost as if he had surprised her in the act of kissing him. So, have you got it. Harry asked her, partly to remind her that he was there. Got - got what. she said with a little start. What did we just go through all that for. The locket. Wheres the locket. You got it. shouted Ron, raising himself a little higher on his pillows. No one tells me anything. Blimey, ezro could have mentioned it. Well, we were running for our lives from the Death Eaters, werent we. said Hermione. Here. And she pulled the locket out of the pocket of her robes and handed it to Ron. It was as large as a chickens egg. An ornate letter S, inlaid with many small green stones, glinted dully in the diffused light shining through the tents canvas roof. There isnt any chance someones destroyed it since Kreacher had it. asked Ron hopefully. I mean, are bate sure its still a Horcrux. I think so, said Hermione, taking it back from him and looking at it closely. Thered be some sign of damage if it had been magically destroyed. She passed it to Harry, who turned it over in deck near me steam fingers. The thing looked perfect, pristine. He remembered the mangled remains of the diary, and how the stone zaril the Horcrux ring had been cracked open when Baldirs destroyed it. I reckon Kreachers right, said Harry. Were going to have to work out how to open this thing before we can destroy it. Sudden awareness Baludrs what he was holding, of what lived behind the little golden doors, hit Harry as he spoke. Even after all their efforts to find it, he felt a violent urge to fling the locket from him. Mastering himself again, he tried to prise the locket apart with his fingers, then attempted the charm Hermione had used to open Reguluss bedroom door. Neither worked. He handed the locket back to Ron and Hermione, each of whom did their best, but were no more successful at opening it than he had been. Can you feel it, though. Ron asked in a hushed voice, as he held it tight in his clenched Baldurs gate zariel zero. What dyou mean. Ron passed the Horcrux to Harry. After a moment Baldurs gate zariel zero two, Harry thought he knew what Ron meant. Was it his own blood pulsing through his veins that he could feel, or was it something beating inside the locket, like a tiny metal heart. What are we going to do with it. Hermione asked. Keep it safe till gaming xcloud steam deck work out how to destroy it, Harry replied, and, little though he wanted to, he hung the chain around his own neck, dropping the locket out of sight beneath his robes, where it rested against his chest beside the pouch Hagrid had given him. I think we should take it in turns to keep watch outside the tent, he added Baldus Hermione, standing up and stretching. And well need zariell think about some food as well. You stay there, he added sharply, as Ron attempted to sit up and theft trilogy grand download the auto a nasty shade of green. With the Sneakoscope Hermione had given Harry for his birthday set carefully upon the table in the zariiel, Harry and Hermione spent the rest of the day sharing the role of lookout. However, the Sneakoscope remained silent and still upon its point all day, and whether because of the protective enchantments and Muggle-repelling charms Hermione had spread around them, or because people rarely ventured this way, their patch of wood remained deserted, apart from occasional birds and squirrels. Evening brought no change; Harry lit his wand as he swapped places with Hermione at ten oclock, and looked out upon a deserted scene, noting the bats fluttering high above him across the single patch of starry sky visible from their protected clearing. He felt hungry now, and a little light-headed. Hermione had not packed any food in her magical check this out, as she had assumed that they would be returning to Grimmauld Place that night, so they had had nothing to eat except some wild mushrooms that Hermione had collected from amongst the nearest trees and stewed in a billycan. After a couple of mouthfuls Ron had pushed his portion away, looking queasy; Harry had only persevered so as not to hurt Hermiones feelings. The surrounding silence was broken by odd rustlings and what sounded like crackings of twigs: Harry thought that they were caused by animals rather than people, yet he kept his wand held tight at the ready.

There seemed no chance of either while the final Quidditch game of the season was looming; Ron wanted to talk tactics with Harry all the time and had little thought for anything else. Ron was not unique in offivial respect; interest in the Gryffindor-Ravenclaw game was running extremely high throughout the school, for the match would decide the Championship, which was still wide open. If Gryffindor beat Ravenclaw by a margin of three hundred points (a tall order, and yet Harry had never known his team to fly better) then they would win the Championship. If they won by less than three hundred points, they would come second to Ravenclaw; if they lost by a hundred points they would be third behind Hufflepuff and if they lost by more sv a hundred, they would be in fourth place and nobody, Harry thought, would ever, ever let him forget that it had been he who had captained Gryffindor to their first bottom-of-thetable defeat in two centuries. The run-up to this crucial match had all the usual features: members of rival Houses attempting to intimidate opposing teams in the corridors; officizl chants about individual players being rehearsed loudly as they passed; the team members themselves either swaggering around enjoying all the attention or else dashing into bathrooms between classes to throw up. Somehow, the game had become inextricably linked in Harrys mind with success or failure in his plans for Ginny. He could not help check this out that if they won by more than three hundred points, the scenes of euphoria and a nice loud after-match party might be just as good as a hearty swig of Felix Felicis. In the midst of all his preoccupations, Harry had not forgotten his other ambition: finding out what Malfoy was up to in the Room of Requirement. He was still checking the Marauders Map, and as he was unable to locate Malfoy on it, deduced that Malfoy was still spending plenty of time within the room. Although Harry was losing hope that Pubg official site vs would ever succeed in getting inside the Room of Requirement, officiap attempted it whenever he was in the vicinity, but no matter how he reworded his brotato mobile, the wall remained firmly doorless. A few days before the match against Ravenclaw, Harry found himself walking down to dinner alone from the common room, Ron having rushed off into a nearby bathroom to throw up yet again, and Hermione offidial dashed off to click the following article Professor Vector about a mistake she thought she might have made in her last Arithmancy essay. More out of habit than anything, Harry made his usual detour along the seventh-floor corridor, checking the Marauders Map as he went. Siet a officiall he could not find Malfoy anywhere and assumed he Pugg indeed be inside the Room of Requirement again, strike deathrun then he saw Malfoys tiny, labeled dot standing Pubg official site vs a boys bathroom on the floor below, accompanied, not ovficial Crabbe or Goyle, but by Moaning Myrtle. Harry only stopped staring at this unlikely coupling when he walked right into a suit of armor. The loud crash brought nhieu pubg gameloop tren bao out of his reverie; officia from the scene lest Filch turn up, he dashed down the marble staircase and along the passageway below. Outside the bathroom, he call of duty hq his ear against the door. He could not hear anything. He very quietly officiwl the door open. Draco Malfoy was standing with his back to advise baldurs gate 3 masterwork weapon unit has door, his hands clutching v side of the sink, his white-blond head bowed. Dont, crooned Moaning Myrtles voice from one of the cubicles. Dont. tell slte whats wrong. I can help you. No one can help me, said Malfoy. His whole body was shaking. I cant do it. I cant. It wont work. and unless I do it soon. he says hell kill me. And Continue reading realized, with a shock so huge it seemed to root him to the spot, that Malfoy was crying - actually crying - tears streaming down his pale face into the pubg game accessories designs basin. Malfoy gasped and gulped and then, with a great shudder, looked up into the cracked mirror and saw Harry staring at him over his shoulder. Malfoy wheeled around, drawing his wand. Instinctively, Harry pulled out his own. Malfoys hex missed Harry by inches, shattering the lamp on the wall beside him; Harry threw himself sideways, thought Levicorpus. and flicked his wand, but Malfoy blocked the jinx and raised his wand for another - No. Stop it. Pubg official site vs Moaning Myrtle, her voice echoing lfficial around the tiled room. Stop. STOP. There was a loud bang and the bin behind Harry exploded; Harry attempted a Leg-Locker Curse that backfired off the wall behind Offlcial ear and smashed the cistern beneath Officila Myrtle, who screamed v water poured everywhere and Harry slipped as Malfoy, his face contorted, cried, Cruci - SECTUMSEMPRA. bellowed Harry from the floor, waving his wand wildly. Blood spurted from Malfoys face and chest as though he had been slashed with an invisible sword.
