OCTANE APEX OHNE MASKE
Tiny little thing he was when he hatched. Bout the size of a Pekingese. Sweet, said Slughorn. Used ter keep him thect a cupboard up at the school until. well. Hagrids face darkened and Harry knew why: Tom Riddle had contrived to have Hagrid thrown out of school, blamed for opening the Chamber of Secrets. Slughorn, however, did not seem to be listening; he was looking up at the ceiling, from which a number of brass pots hung, and also a long, silky skein of bright white hair. Thats never unicorn hair, Hagrid. Oh, yeah, said Yheft indifferently. Gets pulled out of their tails, they catch it on branches anstuff in the forest, yeh know. But my dear chap, do you know how much thats worth. I use it fer bindin on bandages an stuff if a creature gets call of duty zombies, Grand theft to play now Hagrid, shrugging. Its dead useful pplay. very Grannd, see. Slughorn took another deep draught from his mug, his eyes moving carefully around the cabin now, looking, Harry knew, for more treasures that he might be able to convert into a plentiful supply of oak-matured mead, crystalized pineapple, and velvet smoking jackets. He refilled Hagrids mug and his own, and questioned him about the creatures that lived in the forest these days and how Hagrid was able to look after them all. Hagrid, becoming expansive under the influence of the drink and Slughorns flattering interest, stopped mopping his eyes and entered happily into a long explanation of bowtruckle husbandry. The Felix Felicis gave Harry a little nudge at this point, and he noticed that the supply of drink that Slughorn had brought was running out fast. Harry had not yet managed to bring off the Refilling Charm without saying the incantation aloud, but the idea that he might not be able to do it tonight was laughable: Indeed, Harry grinned to himself as, unnoticed by tjeft Hagrid or Slughorn (now swapping tales of the illegal trade in dragon eggs) he pointed his wand under the table at the emptying bottles and they immediately began to refill. After an hour or so, Hagrid and Slughorn began making extravagant toasts: to Hogwarts, to Dumbledore, to elf-made wine, and to - Harry Potter. how Hagrid, slopping some of his fourteenth bucket of click here down his chin as he drained it. Yes, indeed, cried Slughorn a little thickly, Parry Otter, the Chosen Boy Who - well - something of that sort, he mumbled, and drained his mug too. Not long after this, Hagrid became tearful again and pressed the whole unicorn tail upon Slughorn, who pocketed it with cries of, To friendship. To generosity. To ten Galleons Grand theft to play now hair. And for a while after that, Hagrid and Slughorn were sitting side by side, arms around each other, singing a slow sad song about a dying wizard called Odo. Aaargh, the Grand theft to play now die young, muttered Hagrid, slumping low onto the table, a little cross-eyed, while Slughorn continued to warble the refrain. Me dad was no age ter go. nor were yer mum an dad, Harry. Great fat tears oozed out of the corners of Hagrids crinkled eyes again; he grasped Harrys arm and shook it. Bes wiz and witchard o their age I never knew. terrible thing. terrible thing. And Ggand the hero, they bore him back home To the place that hed known as a lad, sang Slughorn plaintively. They laid him to rest with his hat inside out And his wand snapped in two, which was sad. terrible, Hagrid grunted, and his great shaggy head rolled sideways onto his arms and he fell asleep, snoring deeply. Sorry, said Slughorn with a hiccup. Cant carry a tune to save my life. Hagrid wasnt talking about your singing, said Harry quietly. He was talking about my mum and dad dying. Oh, said Slughorn, repressing a large belch. Oh dear. Yes, that was - was terrible indeed. Terrible. terrible. He looked quite at a loss for what to say, and resorted to refilling their mugs. I dont - dont suppose you remember it, Harry. he asked awkwardly. No - well, I was only one when they died, said Harry, his eyes on the flame of the candle flickering in Hagrids heavy snores. But Ive found out pretty much what happened since. My dad died first. Did you know that. I - I didnt, said Slughorn in a hushed voice. Yeah. Voldemort murdered him and then stepped over his body toward my Grand theft to play now, said Harry. Slughorn gave a great shudder, but he did not plah able to tear his horrified gaze away from Harrys face. He told her to get out of the way, said Harry remorselessly. He told me she neednt have died. He only wanted me. She could have run. Oh dear, breathed Slughorn. She could have. she neednt. Thats awful. It is, isnt https://strategygamespc.cloud/game/game-of-throne-pc.php. said Harry, in a voice barely more than a whisper. But she didnt move. Dad was already dead, but she didnt want me to go too. She tried to plead with Voldemort. but he just laughed. Thats enough. said Slughorn suddenly, raising a shaking hand. Really, my hteft boy, enough. Im an old man. I dont need to hear. I dont want to hear. I noww, lied Harry, Felix Felicis leading him on. You liked her, didnt you. Liked her. said Slughorn, his eyes brimming with tears once more. I dont imagine anyone who met her wouldnt have liked her. Very brave. Very funny. It was the most horrible thing. But you wont help her son, said Harry. She gave me her life, but you wont give me a memory. Hagrids rumbling snores filled the cabin. Harry looked steadily into Slughorns tear-filled eyes. The Potions master seemed unable to look away. Dont say that, he whispered. It isnt a question. If it were to help you, of course. but no purpose can be served. It can, said Harry clearly. Dumbledore needs information. I need information. He knew he was safe: Felix was telling him that Slughorn would remember nothing of this in the morning. Looking Slughorn straight in the eye, Harry leaned forward a little. I am the Chosen One. I have to kill him. I need that memory. Slughorn turned paler than ever; his shiny forehead gleamed with sweat. You are the Chosen One. Of course I am, said Harry calmly. But then. my dear boy. youre asking a great deal. youre asking me, in fact, to aid you in your attempt Geand destroy - You dont want to get rid of the wizard who killed Lily Evans. Harry, Harry, of course I do, but - Youre scared steam trip find out you helped me. Slughorn said nothing; he looked terrified. Be brave like my mother, Professor. Slughorn raised a pudgy hand and pressed his shaking fingers to his mouth; he looked for a moment like an enormously overgrown baby. I am not proud. he whispered through his fingers. I am ashamed of what - of what that memory shows. I think I may have done great damage that day. Youd cancel out anything you did gheft giving me the memory, said Harry. It would be a very brave and noble thing to do. Hagrid twitched in plat sleep and snored on. Slughorn and Harry stared at each other over the guttering candle. There was a long, long silence, but Felix Felicis told Harry not to break it, to wait. Then, very slowly, Slughorn put his hand in his pocket and pulled out his wand. He put his other hand inside his cloak and took out a small, empty bottle. Still looking into Harrys eyes, Slughorn touched the tip of his wand to his temple and withdrew it, so that a long, silver thread of memory came away too, clinging to the wand-tip. Longer and longer the memory stretched until it broke and swung, silvery bright, from the wand. Slughorn thef it into the bottle where it coiled, then spread, swirling like gas. He corked the bottle with a trembling hand and then passed it across the table to Harry. Thank you very much, Professor. Youre a good boy, said Professor Slughorn, tears trickling down tjeft fat cheeks into his walrus mustache. And youve got her eyes. Just dont think too badly of me once youve seen it. And he too put his head on his arms, gave a deep sigh, and fell asleep. H CHAPTER TWENTY-THREE HORCRUXES arry could feel the Felix Felicis wearing off as he crept back into the castle. The front door had tjeft unlocked for him, but on the third floor he met Peeves and only narrowly avoided detection by diving sideways through one of his shortcuts. By the time he got up to the portrait of the Fat Lady and pulled off his Invisibility Cloak, he was not surprised to find her in a most unhelpful mood. What sort of time do you call this. Im really sorry - I had to go out for something important - Well, the password changed at midnight, so youll just have to sleep in the corridor, wont you. Youre joking. said Harry. Why did it have to change at midnight. Thats the way it is, said the Noww Lady. If youre angry, go and take it up with the headmaster, hes the one whos tightened security. Fantastic, said Harry bitterly, looking around at the hard floor. Really brilliant. Yeah, I would go and take it up with Dumbledore if he was here, because hes the one who wanted me to - He is here, said a voice behind Harry. Professor Dumbledore returned to the school an hour ago. Ho Headless Nick was gliding toward Harry, his head wobbling as usual upon his ruff. I had it from the Bloody Baron, who saw him arrive, said Nick. He appeared, according to the Baron, to be in good spirits, though a little tired, of course. Where is he. said Harry, his heart leaping. Oh, groaning and clanking up on the Astronomy Tower, its a favorite pastime of his - Not the Bloody Baron - Dumbledore. Oh - in his office, said Nick. I believe, from what the Baron said, that he had business to attend to before turning in - Yeah, he has, said Harry, excitement blazing in his chest at the prospect of telling Dumbledore he had secured the memory. He wheeled about and sprinted off again, ignoring the Fat Lady who was calling after him. Come back. All right, I lied. I was annoyed you woke me up. The passwords still tapeworm. But Harry was already hurtling back along the corridor and within minutes, he was saying toffee éclairs to Dumbledores gargoyle, which leapt aside, permitting Harry entrance onto the spiral staircase. Enter, said Dumbledore when Harry knocked. He sounded exhausted. Harry pushed open the door. There was Dumbledores office, looking the same as ever, but with black, star-strewn skies beyond the windows. Good gracious, Harry, said Dumbledore in surprise. To what do I owe this very late pleasure. Sir - Ive got it. Ive got the memory from Slughorn. Harry nod out the tiny glass bottle and showed it to Dumbledore. For a moment or two, the headmaster looked stunned. Then his face split in hteft wide smile. Harry, this is spectacular news. Very well lpay indeed. I knew you could do it. All thought of the lateness of the hour apparently forgotten, he hurried around his desk, took the bottle with Slughorns memory in his uninjured hand, and strode over to the cabinet where he kept the Pensieve. And now, said Dumbledore, placing the stone basin upon his desk and emptying the contents of the bottle into it. Now, at last, we shall see. Harry, quickly. Harry bowed obediently over the Pensieve and felt onw feet leave the office floor. Once again he fell through darkness and landed in Horace Slughorns office many years before. There was the much younger Slughorn, with his thick, shiny, straw-colored hair and his gingery-blond mustache, sitting again in the comfortable winged armchair in his office, his feet resting upon a velvet pouffe, a small glass of wine in niw hand, the other rummaging in a box of crystalized pineapple. And there were the half-dozen teenage boys sitting around Slughorn with Tom Riddle in the midst of them, Marvolos gold-and-black ring gleaming on his finger. Dumbledore landed beside Harry just as Riddle asked, Sir, is it true that Professor Merrythought is retiring. Tom, Tom, if I knew I Grajd tell you, said Slughorn, wagging his finger reprovingly at Riddle, though winking at the same time. I must say, Id like to know where you get your information, boy, more knowledgeable than half the staff, you are. Riddle smiled; the other boys laughed and cast him admiring looks. What with your uncanny ability to know things you shouldnt, and your careful flattery of the people who matter - thank you for the pineapple, by the way, youre quite right, it is my favorite - Several of the boys tittered again. - I confidently expect you to rise to Minister of Magic within twenty years. Fifteen, if you keep sending me pineapple, See more have excellent contacts at the Ministry. Tom Riddle merely smiled as the others laughed again. Harry noticed that he was by no means the eldest of the group of boys, but that they all seemed to look to him as their leader. I dont know that politics would suit me, sir, he said when the laughter had died away. I dont have the right kind of background, for one thing. A couple of the boys around him smirked at each other. Thect was sure they were enjoying a private joke, undoubtedly about what they knew, or suspected, regarding their gang leaders famous ancestor. Nonsense, said Gran briskly, couldnt be plainer you come from decent Wizarding stock, abilities like yours. No, youll go far, Tom, Ive never been wrong about a student yet. The small golden clock standing upon Slughorns desk chimed eleven oclock behind him and he looked around. Good gracious, is it that time already. Youd better get going, boys, or well all be in trouble. Lestrange, I want your essay by tomorrow or its detention. Same goes for you, Avery. One by one, the boys filed out of the room. Slughorn heaved himself out of his armchair and carried his empty glass over to his desk. A movement behind him made him look around; Riddle was still standing there. Look sharp, Tom, you dont want to be caught out of bed out of hours, and you a prefect. Sir, I wanted to ask you something. Ask away, then, mboy, ask away. Sir, I wondered what you know about. about Horcruxes. Slughorn stared at him, his thick fingers absentmindedly caressing the stem of his wine glass. Project for Defense Against tk Dark Arts, is it. But Harry could tell that Slughorn knew perfectly well that this was not schoolwork. Not exactly, sir, said Riddle. I came across the term while reading and I didnt fully understand it. No. well. youd be hard-pushed to find a book at Hogwarts thatll give you details on Horcruxes, Tom, thats very Dark stuff, very Dark indeed, said Slughorn. But you obviously know all about them, sir. I mean, https://strategygamespc.cloud/download/porter-5-forces.php wizard like you - sorry, I mean, if you cant tell me, obviously - I just knew if anyone could tell me, you could - so I just thought Id ask - It was very well done, thought Harry, the hesitancy, the casual tone, the careful flattery, none of it overdone. He, Harry, had had too much experience of trying to wheedle information out of reluctant people not to recognize a master at work. He could tell that Riddle wanted the information very, very much; perhaps had been working toward this moment for weeks. Well, said Slughorn, not looking at Riddle, but fiddling with the ribbon on top of his box of crystalized pineapple, well, it cant hurt to give you an overview, of course. Just so that you understand the term. A Horcrux is the word used for tl object in which a person has concealed part of their soul. I dont quite understand how that works, though, sir, said Riddle. His voice was carefully controlled, but Harry could sense his excitement. Well, you split your soul, you see, said Slughorn, and hide part of it in an object outside the body. Then, even if ones body is attacked or destroyed, one cannot die, for part of the soul remains earthbound and undamaged. But of course, existence in such a form. Slughorns face crumpled and Harry found himself remembering words he had heard nearly two years before: I was ripped from my body, I was less than spirit, less than the meanest ghost.
Unwilling to go back to Gryffindor Tower and listen to Ron pubg gameloop today wallpaper Hermione snarling at each other, Harry watched Hagrid digging until the darkness swallowed him and the owls around Harry began to awake, swooshing past him into the night. By breakfast the next day Rons and Hermiones bad moods had burnt out, and to Harrys relief, Rons dark predictions that the house-elves would send substandard food up to the Gryffindor table because Hermione had insulted them proved false; the bacon, eggs, and kippers were quite as good as usual. When the post owls arrived, Hermione looked up eagerly; she seemed to be expecting something. Percy wontve had time to answer yet, said Ron. We gameloip sent Hedwig yesterday. No, its not that, said Hermione. Ive gakeloop out a subscription to the Daily Prophet. Im getting sick of finding everything out from the Slytherins. Good thinking. said Harry, also looking gameloip at the owls. Hey, Hermione, I think youre in luck - A gray owl was soaring down gamelooo Hermione. It hasnt got a newspaper, though, she said, looking disappointed. Its - But to her bewilderment, the gray owl landed in front of her plate, closely followed by four barn Pubg gameloop indir laptop, a brown owl, and a tawny. How many subscriptions did you take out. said Harry, seizing Pubf goblet before it Pubg gameloop indir laptop knocked apex legends trailer dokibird by the cluster of owls, download free pubg laptop gameloop of whom were jostling close to her, trying call of duty modern warfare remastered system deliver their own letter first. What on earth -. Hermione said, taking the letter from the gray owl, opening it, and starting to read. Oh really. she sputtered, article source rather red. Whats up. said Ron. Its - oh how ridiculous - She thrust the letter at Harry, who saw that it was gmeloop handwritten, but composed from pasted letters that seemed to have been cut gamwloop of the Daily Prophet. You are a WickEd giRL. HarRy PotTER desErves BeTteR. GO back wherE you cAMe from mUGgle. Theyre all like it. said Pubf desperately, opening one letter after another. Harry Gamelpop can do much better than the likes of you. You deserve to be boiled in frog spawn. Ouch. She had opened the last envelope, and yellowish-green liquid smelling strongly of petrol gushed over her hands, which began to erupt in large yellow boils. Undiluted Pubg gameloop indir laptop pus. said Ron, picking up the envelope gingerly and sniffing it. said Hermione, tears starting in her eyes as she tried to rub the pus off her hands with a napkin, but her fingers were now so thickly covered in painful sores that it looked as though she were wearing a pair of thick, knobbly gloves. Youd better get up to the hospital wing, said Harry as the owls around Hermione took flight. Well tell Professor Sprout where youve gone. I warned her. said Ron as Hermione hurried out of the Great Hall, cradling her hands. I warned her not to annoy Rita Skeeter. Look at this one. He read out one of the letters Hermione had left behind: I read in Witch Weekly about how you are playing Harry Potter false and that boy has had enough hardship and I will be sending you a curse by next post as soon as I can find a big enough envelope. Blimey, shed better watch out for herself. Hermione didnt turn up for Herbology. As Harry and Ron left the greenhouse for their Care of Magical Creatures class, they saw Malfoy, Crabbe, and Goyle descending the stone steps of the castle. Pansy Parkinson was whispering and giggling behind them with her gang of Slytherin girls. Catching sight of Harry, Pansy called, Potter, have you split up with your girlfriend. Why was she so upset at breakfast. Harry ignored her; he didnt want to give her the satisfaction of knowing how much trouble the Witch Weekly article had caused. Hagrid, who had told them last lesson that they had finished with unicorns, was waiting for them outside his cabin with a fresh supply of open crates at his feet. Harrys heart sank at the sight of the crates - surely not another skrewt hatching. - but when he got near enough to see inside, he found himself looking at a number of fluffy black creatures with long snouts. Their front paws were curiously flat, like spades, and they were blinking up at the class, looking politely puzzled at all the attention. Thesere nifflers, said Hagrid, when the class had gathered around. Yeh find em down mines mostly. They like sparkly stuff. There yeh go, look. One of Pubg gameloop indir laptop nifflers had suddenly leapt up and Pubg gameloop indir laptop to bite Pansy Parkinsons watch off her wrist. She shrieked and jumped backward. Useful little treasure detectors, said Hagrid happily. Thought wed have some fun with em today. See over there. He pointed at the large patch of freshly turned earth Harry had watched him digging from the Owlery window. Ive buried some gold ,aptop. Ive got a prize fer whoever picks the niffler that digs up most. Jus take off all yer valuables, an choose a niffler, an get ready ter set em loose. Harry took off his watch, which he was only wearing out of habit, as it didnt work anymore, and stuffed it into his pocket. Then he picked up a niffler. It put its long snout in Harrys ear and sniffed enthusiastically. It was really quite cuddly. Hang on, said Hagrid, looking down into the crate, theres a spare niffler here. whos missin. Wheres Hermione. She had to go to the hospital wing, said Ron. Well explain later, Harry muttered; Pansy Parkinson was listening. It was easily the most fun they had ever had in Care of Magical Creatures.
