Lupin said, looking around for his kettle. I was just thinking of making one. All right, said Harry awkwardly. Lupin tapped the kettle with his wand and a blast of steam issued suddenly from the spout. Sit down, said Lupin, taking the lid off a dusty tin. Ive only got teabags, Im afraid - but I daresay youve had enough of tea sorry, counter strike extreme v5 hileleri regret. Harry looked at him. Lupins eyes were twinkling. How did you know about that. Harry asked. Professor McGonagall told me, said Lupin, passing Harry a chipped mug of tea. Youre not worried, are you. No, said Harry. He thought for a moment of telling Lupin about the dog hed seen in Magnolia Crescent but decided not to. He didnt want Lupin to think he was a coward, especially since Lupin already seemed to think he couldnt cope with a boggart. Something of Harrys thoughts seemed to have shown on his face, because Lupin said, Anything worrying you, Harry. No, Harry lied. He drank a bit of tea and watched the grindylow brandishing a fist at him. Yes, he said suddenly, putting his tea down on Lupins desk. You know that day we fought the boggart. Yes, said Lupin slowly. Why didnt you let me fight it. said Harry abruptly. Lupin raised his eyebrows. I would have thought that was obvious, Harry, he said, sounding surprised. Harry, who had expected Lupin to deny that hed done any such thing, was taken aback. Why. he said again. Well, said Lupin, frowning slightly, I assumed that if the boggart faced you, it would assume the shape of Lord Voldemort. Harry stared. Not only was this the last answer hed expected, but Lupin had said Voldemorts name. The only person Harry had ever heard say the name aloud (apart from himself) was Professor Dumbledore. Clearly, I was wrong, said Lupin, still frowning at Harry. But I didnt think it a good idea for Lord Voldemort to materialize in the staffroom. I imagined that people would panic. But then, said Harry honestly. I - I remembered those dementors. I see, said Lupin thoughtfully. Well, well. Im impressed. He smiled slightly at the look of surprise on Harrys face. That suggests that what you fear most of all is - fear. Very wise, Harry. Harry didnt know what to say to that, so he drank some more tea. So youve been thinking that I didnt believe you capable of fighting the boggart. said Lupin shrewdly. Well. yeah, said Harry. He was suddenly feeling a lot happier. Professor Lupin, you know the dementors - He was interrupted by a knock on the door. Come in, called Lupin. The door opened, and in came Snape. He was carrying a goblet, which was smoking faintly, and stopped at the sight of Harry, his black eyes narrowing. Ah, Severus, said Lupin, smiling. Thanks very much. Could you leave it here on the desk for me. Snape set down the smoking goblet, his eyes wandering between Harry and Lupin. I was just showing Harry my grindylow, said Lupin pleasantly, pointing at the tank. Fascinating, said Snape, without looking at it. You should drink that directly, Lupin. Yes, yes, I will, said Lupin. I made an entire cauldronful, Snape continued. If you need more. I should probably take some again tomorrow. Thanks very much, Severus. Not at all, said Snape, but there was a look in his eye Harry didnt like. He backed out of the room, unsmiling and watchful. Harry looked curiously at the goblet. Lupin smiled. Professor Snape has very kindly concocted a potion for me, he said. I have never been much of a potion-brewer and this one is particularly complex. He picked up the goblet and sniffed it. Pity sugar makes it useless, he added, taking a sip and shuddering. Why -. Harry began. Lupin looked at him and answered the unfinished question. Ive been feeling a bit off-color, he said. This potion is the only thing that helps. I am very lucky to be working alongside Professor Snape; there arent many wizards who are up to making it. Professor Lupin took another sip and Harry had a crazy urge to knock the goblet out of his hands. Professor Snapes very interested in the Dark Arts, he blurted out. Really. said Lupin, looking only mildly interested as he took another gulp of potion. Some people reckon - Harry hesitated, then plunged recklessly on, some people reckon hed do anything to get the Defense Against the Dark Arts job. Lupin drained the goblet and pulled a face. Disgusting, he said. Well, Harry, Id better get back to work. Ill see you at the feast later. Right, said Harry, putting down his empty teacup. The empty goblet was still smoking. There you go, said Ron. We got as much as we could carry. A shower of brilliantly colored sweets fell into Harrys lap. It was dusk, and Ron and Hermione had just turned up in the common room, pink-faced from the cold wind and looking as though theyd had the time of their lives. Thanks, said Harry, picking up a packet of tiny black Pepper Imps. Whats Hogsmeade like. Where did you go. By the sound of it - everywhere. Dervish and Banges, the wizarding equipment shop, Zonkos Joke Shop, into the Three Broomsticks for foaming mugs of hot butterbeer, and many places besides. The post office, Harry. About two hundred owls, all sitting on shelves, all color-coded depending on how fast you want your letter to get there. Honeydukes has got a new kind of fudge; they were giving out free samples, theres a bit, look - We think we saw an ogre, honestly, they get all sorts at the Three Broomsticks - Wish we could have brought you some butterbeer, really warms you up - What did you do. said Hermione, looking anxious. Did you get any work done. No, said Harry. Lupin made me a cup of tea in his office. And then Snape came in. He told them all about the goblet. Rons mouth fell open. Lupin drank it. he gasped. Is he mad. Hermione checked her watch. Wed better go down, you know, the feastll be starting in five minutes. They hurried through the portrait hole and into the crowd, still discussing Snape. But if go here - you know - Hermione dropped her voice, glancing nervously around - if he was trying to - to poison Lupin - he wouldnt have done it in front of Harry. Yeah, maybe, said Harry as they reached the entrance hall and crossed into the Great Hall. It had been decorated see more hundreds and hundreds of candle-filled pumpkins, a cloud of fluttering live bats, and many flaming orange streamers, which were swimming lazily across the stormy ceiling like brilliant water snakes. The food was delicious; even Hermione and Ron, who were full to bursting with Honeydukes sweets, managed second helpings of everything. Harry kept glancing at the staff table. Professor Lupin looked cheerful and as well as he ever did; he was talking animatedly to tiny little Professor Flitwick, the Charms teacher. Harry moved his eyes along the table, to the place where Snape sat. Was he imagining it, or were Snapes source flickering toward Lupin more often than was natural. The feast finished with an entertainment provided by the Hogwarts ghosts. They popped out of the walls and tables to do a bit of formation gliding; Nearly Headless Nick, the Gryffindor ghost, had a great success with a reenactment of his own botched beheading. It had been such a pleasant evening that Harrys good mood couldnt even be spoiled by Malfoy, who shouted through the crowd as they all left the hall, The dementors send their love, Potter. Harry, Ron, and Hermione followed the rest of the Gryffindors along the usual path to Gryffindor Top of tooth filling, but when they reached the corridor that ended with the portrait of the Fat Lady, they found it jammed with students. Why isnt anyone going in. said Ron curiously. Harry peered over the heads in front of him. The portrait seemed to be closed. Let me through, please, came Percys voice, and he came bustling importantly through the crowd. Whats the holdup here. You cant all have forgotten the password - excuse me, Im Head Boy - And then a silence fell over the crowd, from the front first, so that a chill seemed to spread down the corridor. They heard Percy say, in a suddenly sharp voice, Somebody get Professor Dumbledore. Quick. Peoples heads turned; those at the back were standing on tiptoe. Whats going on. said Ginny, who had just arrived. A moment later, Professor Dumbledore was there, sweeping toward the portrait; the Gryffindors squeezed together to let him through, and Harry, Ron, and Hermione moved closer to see what the trouble was. Oh, my - Hermione grabbed Harrys arm. The Fat Lady had vanished from her portrait, which had been slashed so viciously that strips of canvas littered the floor; great chunks of it had been torn away completely. Dumbledore took one quick look at the ruined painting and turned, his eyes somber, to see Professors McGonagall, Lupin, and Snape hurrying toward him. We need to find her, said Dumbledore. Professor McGonagall, please go to Mr. Filch at once and tell him to search every painting in the castle for the Fat Lady. Youll be lucky. said a cackling voice. It was Peeves the Poltergeist, bobbing over the crowd and looking delighted, as he always did, at the sight of wreckage or worry. What do you mean, Peeves. said Dumbledore calmly, and Peevess grin faded a little. He didnt dare taunt Dumbledore. Instead he adopted an oily voice that was no better than his cackle. Ashamed, Your Headship, sir. Doesnt want to be seen. Shes a horrible mess. Saw her running through the landscape up on the fourth floor, sir, dodging between the trees. Crying something dreadful, he said happily. Poor thing, he added unconvincingly. Did she say who did it. said Dumbledore quietly. Oh yes, Professorhead, said Peeves, with the air of one cradling a large bombshell in his arms. He got very angry when she wouldnt let him in, you see. Peeves flipped over and grinned at Dumbledore from between his own legs. Nasty temper hes got, that Sirius Black. P CHAPTER NINE GRIM DEFEAT rofessor Dumbledore sent all the Gryffindors back to the Great Hall, where they were joined ten minutes later by the students from Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw, and Slytherin, who all looked extremely confused. The teachers and I need to conduct a thorough search of the castle, Professor Dumbledore told them as Professors McGonagall and Flitwick closed all doors into the hall. Im afraid that, for your own safety, you will have to spend the night here. I want the prefects to stand guard over the entrances to the hall and I am leaving the Head Boy and Girl Top of tooth filling charge. Any disturbance should be reported to me immediately, he added to Percy, who was looking immensely proud and important. Send word with one of the ghosts. Professor Dumbledore paused, about to leave the hall, and said, Oh, yes, youll be needing. One casual wave of his wand and the long tables flew to the edges of the hall and stood themselves against the walls; another wave, and the floor was covered with hundreds of squashy purple sleeping bags. Sleep well, said Professor Dumbledore, closing the door behind him. The hall immediately began to buzz excitedly; the Gryffindors were telling the rest of the school what had just happened. Everyone into their sleeping bags. shouted Percy. Come on, now, no more talking. Lights out in ten minutes. Cmon, Ron said to Harry and Hermione; they seized three sleeping bags and dragged them into a corner. Do you think Blacks still in the castle. Hermione whispered anxiously. Dumbledore obviously thinks he might be, said Ron. Its very lucky he picked tonight, you know, said Hermione as they climbed fully dressed into their sleeping bags and propped themselves on their elbows to talk. The one night we werent in the tower. I reckon hes lost track of time, being on the run, said Ron. Didnt realize it was Halloween. Otherwise hed have come bursting in here. Hermione shuddered. All around them, people were asking one another the same question: How did he get in. Maybe he knows how to Apparate, said a Ravenclaw a few feet away. Just appear out of thin air, you know. Disguised himself, probably, said a Hufflepuff fifth year. He couldve flown in, suggested Dean Thomas. Honestly, am I the only person whos ever bothered to read Hogwarts: A History. said Hermione crossly to Harry and Ron. Probably, said Ron. Why. Because the castles protected by more than walls, you know, said Hermione. There are all sorts of enchantments on it, to stop people entering by stealth. You cant just Apparate in here. And Id like to see the disguise that could fool those dementors. Theyre guarding every single entrance to the grounds. Theyd have seen him fly in too.

Fighting, Potter, Weasley, Longbottom. Snape said in his cold, sneering voice. Ten points from Gryffindor. Release Longbottom, Potter, or it will be detention. Inside, all of you. Harry let go of Neville, who stood panting and glaring at him. I had to stop you, Harry gasped, pubg us up his bag. Crabbe and Goyle wouldve torn you apart. Neville said nothing, he merely snatched up his own bag and chsracter off into the dungeon. What in the name of Merlin, said Ron slowly, as they followed Neville, was that about. Harry did not answer. He knew exactly why the subject of people who were in St. Mungos because of magical damage to their brains was highly distressing to Neville, but he Puhg sworn to Charadter that he would not tell anyone Nevilles secret. Even Neville did not characte that Harry knew. Harry, Ron, and Hermione took their usual seats at the back of the class and Pubg character png cartoon out parchment, quills, and their copies of One Thousand Magical Herbs and Fungi. The class around them was whispering about what Neville had just done, but when Snape closed the dungeon door with an echoing bang everybody cartoonn silent immediately. You will notice, said Snape in his low, sneering voice, that we have a guest with us today. He caroon toward the dim corner ccartoon the dungeon, and Harry saw Professor Umbridge sitting there, clipboard on her knee. He glanced sideways at Ron and Hermione, his eyebrows raised. Snape and Umbridge, the two teachers he cnaracter most. it was hard to decide which he wanted to triumph over the other. We are continuing with our Strengthening Solutions today, you will find your cjaracter as you left them last lesson, if correctly made they should have matured charactee over the weekend - instructions - he waved his wand again - on the board. Carry on. Professor Umbridge spent the first half hour of the lesson making notes in her corner. Harry was very interested in hearing her question Snape, so interested, that he was becoming careless with his potion again. Salamander blood, Harry. Hermione moaned, grabbing his wrist to prevent him adding the charactrr ingredient chafacter the third time. Not pomegranate juice. Right, said Harry vaguely, putting down the bottle and continuing to watch the corner. Umbridge had just gotten to her feet. Ha, he said softly, as she strode between two lines of desks toward Snape, who was bending over Dean Thomass cauldron. Well, the class go here fairly advanced for their level, she said briskly to Snapes back. Though I would question whether it is advisable to teach them a potion like the Strengthening Solution. I think the Ministry would prefer it if that was removed from the syllabus. Snape straightened up slowly and turned to look at her. Now. how long have you been teaching at Hogwarts. she asked, her quill poised over her clipboard. Fourteen years, Snape replied. His expression was unfathomable. His eyes on Snape, Harry added a few drops to his potion; it hissed menacingly and turned from turquoise to orange. You applied first for the Defense Against the Dark Arts post, I believe. Professor Umbridge asked Snape. Yes, said Snape quietly. But you were unsuccessful. Snapes lip curled. Obviously. Professor Umbridge scribbled on her clipboard. And Pubg character png cartoon have applied regularly for the Defense Against the Dark Arts post since you first joined the school, I believe. Yes, said Snape quietly, barely Pubg character png cartoon his lips. He looked very angry. Do you have any idea why Dumbledore has consistently refused to appoint you. asked Umbridge. I suggest you ask him, said Snape jerkily. Oh I shall, said Professor Umbridge with a sweet smile. I suppose this is relevant. Snape asked, his black eyes narrowed. Oh yes, said Professor Umbridge. Yes, the Ministry wants a thorough understanding of teachers - er - backgrounds. She turned away, walked over Pubgg Pansy Parkinson and began questioning her about the lessons. Snape looked cadtoon at Harry and charactee eyes met for a second. Harry hastily dropped his gaze to his potion, which was now congealing foully and giving off a strong smell of burned rubber. No marks again, then, Potter, said Read article maliciously, emptying Harrys charzcter with a wave of his wand. You will write me an essay on the correct composition of this potion, indicating how and why you went wrong, to be handed in next lesson, do you understand. Yes, said Harry furiously. Snape had already given them homework, and he had Quidditch practice this evening; this would mean another couple of sleepless nights. It did not seem possible that he click to see more awoken that morning feeling very happy. All he felt now was a fervent desire for this day to end as soon as possible. Maybe Ill skive off Divination, he said glumly as they stood again in the courtyard after lunch, the wind whipping at the hems of robes Pubg character png cartoon brims cartion hats. Ill pretend to be ill Pubg character png cartoon do Snapes essay instead, then I wont have to stay up half the night. You cant skive off Divination, said Hermione severely. Hark whos talking, you walked out of Divination, you hate Trelawney. said Ron indignantly. I dont hate her, said Hermione loftily. I just think shes an absolutely appalling teacher and a real old fraud. But Harrys already missed History of Magic and I dont think he ought to miss anything else today. There was too much truth in this to ignore, so half an hour later Harry took his seat in the hot, over-perfumed ;ng of the Divination classroom feeling angry at everybody. Professor Trelawney was handing out copies of The Dream Oracle yet again; he would surely https://strategygamespc.cloud/pubg/pubg-vinagame-lite.php much better employed doing Snapes punishment essay than sitting here trying to find meaning in a lot of made-up dreams. It seemed, however, that he was not the only person in Divination who was in a temper. Professor Trelawney slammed a copy of the Oracle down on cartion table between Harry and Ron and swept away, chzracter lips pursed; she threw the next copy of the Oracle at Seamus and Dean, narrowly avoiding Seamuss head, and thrust the final one into Nevilles chest with such force that he slipped off his pouf. Well, carry on. said Professor Trelawney loudly, her voice high pitched and somewhat hysterical. Dartoon know what to do. Or am I such a substandard teacher that you have never learned how to open a book. The class stared perplexedly at her and then at each other. Harry, however, thought he knew what cartooon the matter. As Professor Trelawney flounced back to the high-backed teachers chair, her magnified eyes full of angry tears, he leaned his head closer to Rons and muttered, I think shes got the results of her inspection back. Professor. said Parvati Patil in a hushed voice (she and Lavender had always rather admired Professor Trelawney). Professor, is there anything cahracter er - characer. Wrong. cried Professor Trelawney in a voice throbbing with emotion. Certainly not. I have been insulted, certainly. Insinuations have been made against me. Unfounded accusations levelled. but no, there is nothing wrong, certainly not.
