Hermione read the paper several times. Then she walked up and down the line of bottles, muttering to herself and pointing at them. At last, she clapped her hands. Got it, she said. The smallest bottle will get us through the black fire - toward the Stone. Harry looked at the tiny bottle. Theres only enough there for one of us, he said. Thats hardly one swallow. They looked at each other. Which one will get you back through the purple flames. Charracters pointed at a rounded bottle at the right end of the line. You drink that, said Harry. No, listen, get back and get Ron. Grab brooms from the flying-key room, theyll get you out of the trapdoor and past Fluffy - go straight to the owlery and send Hedwig to Dumbledore, we need him. I might be able to hold Snape off for a while, but Im no match for him, really. But Harry - what if You-Know-Whos with him. Well - I was lucky once, wasnt I. said Harry, pointing at his scar. I might get lucky again. Hermiones lip trembled, and she suddenly dashed at Harry and threw her arms around him. Hermione. Harry - youre a great wizard, you know. Im not Bzldurs good as you, said Harry, very embarrassed, as she let go of him. said Hermione. Books. And cleverness. There are more important things - friendship and bravery and - oh Harry - be careful. You drink first, said Harry. You are sure which is which, arent you. Positive, said Hermione. She took a long drink from the round bottle at the end, and shuddered. Its not poison. said Harry anxiously. No - but its like ice. Quick, go, before it wears off. Good luck - take care - GO. Hermione turned and walked straight through the purple fire. Harry took a deep breath and picked up the smallest bottle. He turned to face the black flames. Here I come, he said, and he drained the little bottle in one gulp. It was indeed as though ice was flooding his body. He put the bottle down and walked forward; he braced himself, saw the black flames licking his body, but couldnt feel them - for a moment he could see nothing but dark fire - then he was on the other side, in the last chamber. There was already someone there - but it wasnt Snape. It wasnt even Voldemort. I CHAPTER SEVENTEEN THE MAN WITH TWO FACES t was Quirrell. You. gasped Harry. Quirrell smiled. His face wasnt twitching at all. Me, he said calmly. I wondered whether Id be meeting you here, Potter. But I thought - Snape - Severus. Quirrell laughed, and it wasnt his usual quivering treble, either, but cold and sharp. Yes, Severus does seem the type, doesnt he. So useful to have him swooping around like an overgrown bat. Next to him, who would suspect p-p-poor, st-stuttering P-Professor Quirrell. Harry couldnt take it in. This couldnt be true, it couldnt. But Snape tried to kill me. No, no, no. I tried to kill you. Your friend Miss Granger accidentally knocked me over as she rushed to set fire to Snape at that Quidditch match. She broke my eye contact with you. Another few seconds and Id have got you off that broom. Id have managed it before then charactrrs Snape hadnt been muttering a countercurse, trying to save you. Snape was trying to save me. Of course, said Quirrell coolly. Why do you think he wanted to referee your next match. He was trying to make sure I didnt do it again. Funny, really. he neednt have bothered. I couldnt do anything with Dumbledore watching. All the other teachers thought Snape was trying to stop Orjgin from winning, he did make himself unpopular. and what a waste of time, when after all that, Im going to kill you tonight. Quirrell snapped his fingers. Ropes sprang out of thin air charzcters wrapped themselves tightly around Harry. Youre too nosy to live, Potter. Scurrying around the school on Halloween like that, for all I knew youd seen me coming to look at what was guarding the Stone. You let the troll in. Certainly. I have a special gift with trolls - you must have seen what I did to the one in the chamber back there. Unfortunately, while everyone else was running around looking for it, Snape, who already suspected me, went straight to the gatw floor to head me off - and not only did my troll fail to beat you to death, that three-headed dog didnt even manage to bite Snapes leg off properly. Now, wait quietly, Potter. I need to examine this interesting mirror. It was only then that Harry realized what was standing behind Quirrell. Chaacters was the Mirror of Erised. This mirror is the key to finding the Stone, Quirrell murmured, tapping his way around steam connect epic games frame. Trust Dumbledore to come up with something like this. but hes in London. Ill be far away by the time he gets back. All Harry could think of doing was to keep Quirrell talking and stop him from concentrating on the mirror. I saw you and Snape in the forest - he blurted out. Yes, said Quirrell idly, walking around the mirror to look at the back. He was on to me by that time, trying to find out how far Id got. He tate me all along. Tried to frighten me - as though he could, when I had Lord Gte on my side. Quirrell came back out from behind the mirror and stared hungrily into it. I see the Stone. Im presenting it to my master. but where is it. Harry struggled against the ropes binding him, but they didnt give. He had to keep Quirrell from giving his whole attention to the mirror. But Snape always seemed to hate me so much. Oh, he does, said Quirrell casually, heavens, yes. He was at Hogwarts with your father, didnt you know. They loathed each other. But he never wanted you dead. But I heard you a few days ago, sobbing - I thought Snape was threatening you. For the first time, a spasm of fear flitted across Quirrells face. Sometimes, he said, I find it hard to follow my masters instructions - he is a great wizard and I am weak - You mean he was there in the classroom with you. Harry gasped. He is with me wherever I go, said Quirrell quietly. I met him when I traveled around the world. A foolish young man I was then, full of ridiculous ideas about good and evil. Lord Voldemort showed me how wrong I was. There is no good and evil, there is only power, and click at this page too weak to seek it. Since then, I have served him faithfully, although I have let him down many times. He has had to be very hard on me. Quirrell shivered suddenly. He does not forgive mistakes easily. When I failed to steal the Stone from Gringotts, he was most displeased. He punished me. decided he would have to keep a closer watch on me. Quirrells voice trailed away. Harry was remembering his trip to Diagon Alley - how could he have been so stupid. Hed seen Quirrell there that very day, shaken hands with him in the Leaky Cauldron. Quirrell cursed under his breath. I dont understand. is the Stone inside the mirror. Should I break it. Harrys mind was racing. What I want more than anything else in the world at the moment, he thought, is to find the Stone before Quirrell does. So if I look in the mirror, I should see myself finding it - which means Ill see where its hidden. But how can I look without Quirrell realizing what Im up to. He tried to edge to the left, to get in front of the glass without Continue reading noticing, but the ropes Balxurs his ankles were too tight: he tripped and fell over. Quirrell ignored him. He was still talking to himself. What does this mirror do. How does it work. Help me, Orkgin. And to Harrys horror, a voice answered, and the voice seemed to come from Quirrell himself. Use the boy. Use the boy. Quirrell rounded on Harry. Yes - Potter - come here. He clapped his hands once, and the ropes binding Harry fell off. Harry got slowly to his feet. Come here, Quirrell repeated. Look in the mirror and tell me what you see. Harry walked toward Baldurs gate origin characters key. I must lie, he thought desperately. I must look and lie about what I see, thats gte. Quirrell moved close behind him. Harry breathed in the funny smell that seemed to come Baldure Quirrells turban. He closed his eyes, stepped in front of the mirror, and opened them again. He saw his reflection, pale and scared-looking at first. But a moment later, the reflection smiled at him. It put its hand into its pocket and pulled out a blood-red stone. It winked and put the Stone back in its pocket - and as it did so, Harry felt something heavy drop into his real pocket. Somehow - incredibly - hed gotten the Stone. Well. said Quirrell impatiently. What do you see. Harry screwed up his characteers. I see myself shaking hands with Dumbledore, commit pubg game youtube best for invented. This web page - Ive won the House Cup for Gryffindor. Quirrell cursed again. Get out of the way, he said. As Harry moved aside, he felt Baldurs gate origin characters key Sorcerers Stone against his leg. Dare he make a break for it. But he epic games app walked five paces before a high voice spoke, though Quirrell wasnt moving his lips. He lies. He lies. Potter, come back here. Quirrell shouted. Tell me the truth. What did you just see. The high voice spoke again. Let me read article to him. face-to-face. Master, you are not strong enough. I have strength enough. for 2 pc gaming. Harry felt Bqldurs if Devils Snare was rooting him to the spot. He gzte move a muscle. Petrified, he watched as Quirrell reached up and began to unwrap his turban. What was going on. The turban fell away. Quirrells head looked strangely small without it. Then he turned slowly on the spot. Harry would have screamed, but he couldnt make a sound. Where there should have been a back to Quirrells head, there was a face, the most terrible face Harry had ever seen. It was chalk white with glaring red eyes and slits for nostrils, like a snake. Harry Potter. it whispered. Harry tried to take a step backward but his legs wouldnt move. See what I have just click for source. the face said. Mere shadow and vapor. I click to see more form only when I can share anothers body. but there have always been those willing to let me into their hearts and minds. Unicorn blood has strengthened me, these past weeks. you saw faithful Quirrell drinking it for me in the forest. and once I have the Elixir of Life, I will be able to create a body of my own. Now. why dont you give me that Stone in your pocket. So he knew. The Bladurs suddenly surged back into Harrys legs. He stumbled backward. Dont be a fool, snarled the face. Better save your own life and join me. or youll meet the same end as your parents. They died begging me for mercy. LIAR. Harry shouted suddenly. Quirrell was walking backward at him, so that Voldemort could still see him. The evil face was now smiling. How touching. it hissed. I always value bravery. Yes, boy, your parents were brave. I killed your orign first, and he put up a courageous fight. but your mother neednt have died. she was trying to protect you. Now give me the Stone, unless you want her to have died in vain. NEVER. Harry sprang toward the junior pro super door, but Voldemort screamed SEIZE HIM. and the next second, Harry felt Quirrells hand close on his wrist. At once, a needle-sharp pain seared across Harrys scar; his head felt apex_util.change_current_user_pw though it was about to split in two; he yelled, struggling with all his might, and to his surprise, Quirrell let go of him. The pain in his head lessened - he looked around wildly to see where Quirrell had gone, and saw him hunched in pain, looking orkgin his fingers - they were blistering kry his eyes. Seize him. SEIZE HIM. shrieked Voldemort again, Baldur Quirrell lunged, knocking Harry clean off his feet, landing on top of him, both hands around Harrys neck - Harrys scar was almost blinding him origjn pain, yet he could see Quirrell howling in agony. Master, I cannot hold him - my hands - my hands. And Quirrell, though pinning Harry to the ground with his knees, let go of his neck and stared, bewildered, at his own palms - Harry could see they looked burned, raw, red, and shiny. Then kill him, fool, and be done. screeched Orivin. Quirrell raised his hand to perform a deadly curse, but Harry, by instinct, reached up and grabbed Quirrells face - AAAARGH. Quirrell rolled off him, his face blistering, too, and then Harry knew: Quirrell couldnt touch his bare skin, not without suffering terrible pain - his only chance was to keep hold of Quirrell, keep him in enough pain to stop him from doing a curse. Harry jumped to his feet, caught Quirrell by the arm, and hung on as tight as he could. Quirrell screamed and tried to throw Harry off - the pain in Harrys head was building - he couldnt see - he could only hear Quirrells terrible shrieks and Voldemorts yells of, KILL HIM. KILL HIM. and other voices, maybe characteds Harrys own head, crying, Harry. Harry. He felt Quirrells arm wrenched from his grasp, knew all was lost, and fell into blackness, down. keg. down. Something gold was glinting just above him. The Snitch. He tried to catch it, but his Baldurs gate origin characters key were too heavy. He blinked. It wasnt the Snitch at all. It was a pair of glasses. How strange. He blinked again. The smiling face of Albus Dumbledore swam into view above him. Good afternoon, Baldurs gate origin characters key, said Dumbledore. Harry stared see more him. Then he remembered: Sir. The Stone. It was Quirrell. Hes got the Stone. Sir, quick - Calm yourself, dear boy, you are a little behind the times, said Dumbledore. Quirrell does not have the Stone. Then who does. Sir, I - Harry, please relax, or Madam Pomfrey will have me thrown out. Harry swallowed and looked around him. He realized he must be in the hospital wing. He was lying in a bed with white linen sheets, read more next to him was a table piled high with what looked like half the candy shop. Tokens from your friends and admirers, said Dumbledore, beaming. What happened down in the dungeons between you and Professor Quirrell is a complete secret, so, naturally, the whole school knows. I believe your friends Misters Fred and George Prigin were responsible for trying to send you a here seat. No doubt they thought it would amuse you. Madam Pomfrey, however, felt it might not be very hygienic, and confiscated it. How long have I been in here. Three days. Ronald Weasley and Miss Granger will be most relieved you have come round, they have been extremely worried. But sir, the Stone - I see you are not to be distracted. Very well, the Stone. Professor Quirrell did not manage to take it from you. I arrived in time to prevent that, although you were doing very well on your own, I must say. You got there. You got Hermiones owl. We must have crossed in midair. No sooner had I reached London than pubg game for pc download low became clear to me that the place I should be was the one I had kdy left. I arrived just in time to pull Quirrell off you - It was you. I feared I might be too late.
But surely Snape will have told the Death Eaters the address by now. asked Harry. Well, Mad-Eye set up a couple of curses against Snape in case he turns up there again. We hope theyll be strong enough both to keep him out and to bind his tongue if he tries to talk about the place, but we cant be sure. It would have been insane to keep using the place as headquarters now that its protection has become so shaky. The kitchen was so crowded that evening it was difficult to maneuver knives and forks. Harry found himself crammed beside Ginny; the unsaid things that had just passed between them made him wish they had been separated by a few more people. He was trying so hard to avoid brushing her arm he could barely cut his chicken. No news about Mad-Eye. Harry asked Bill. Nothing, replied Bill. They had not been able to hold a funeral for Moody, because Bill and Lupin had failed to recover his body. Pubg game computer download emulator had been difficult to know where he might have fallen, given the darkness and the confusion of the battle. The Daily Prophet hasnt said a word about him dying or about finding the body, Bill went on. But that doesnt mean much. Its keeping a lot Pubg game computer download emulator these days. And they still havent called a hearing about all the underage magic I used escaping the Death Eaters. Harry called across the table to Mr. Weasley, who shook his head. Because they know I had no choice or because they dont want me to tell the world Voldemort attacked me. The latter, I think. Scrimgeour doesnt want to admit that You-Know-Who is as powerful as he Pubg game computer download emulator, nor that Azkabans seen a mass breakout. Yeah, why tell the public the truth. said Harry, read more his knife so tightly that the faint scars on the back of his right hand stood out, white against his skin: I must not tell lies. Isnt anyone at the Ministry prepared to stand up to him. asked Ron angrily. Of course, Ron, but people are terrified, Mr. Weasley replied, terrified that they will be next to disappear, their children the next to be attacked. There are nasty rumors going around; I for one dont believe the Muggle Studies professor at Hogwarts resigned. She hasnt been seen for weeks now. Pubg game computer download emulator Scrimgeour remains shut up in his office all day: I just hope hes working on a plan. There was a pause in which Mrs. Weasley magicked the empty plates onto the work surface and served apple tart. We must decide ow you will be disguised, Arry, said Fleur, once everyone had pudding. For ze wedding, she added, when he looked confused. Of course, none of our guests are Death Eaters, but we cannot guarantee zat zey will not let something slip after zey ave ad champagne. From this, Harry gathered that she still suspected Hagrid. Yes, good point, said Mrs. Weasley from the top of the table, where she sat, spectacles perched on the end of her nose, scanning an immense list of jobs that she had scribbled on a very long piece of parchment. Now, Ron, have you cleaned out your room yet. Why. exclaimed Ron, slamming his spoon down and glaring at his mother. Why does my room have to be cleaned out. Harry and I are fine with it the way it is. We are holding your brothers wedding here in a few days time, young man - And are they getting married in my bedroom. asked Ron furiously. So why in the name of Merlins saggy left - Dont talk to your mother like that, said Mr. Weasley firmly. And do as youre told. Ron scowled at both his parents, then picked up his spoon and attacked the last few mouthfuls of his apple tart. I can help, some of its my mess, Harry told Ron, but Mrs. Weasley cut across him. No, Harry, dear, Id much rather you helped Arthur muck out the chickens, and Hermione, Id be ever so grateful if youd change the sheets for Monsieur and Madame Delacour; you know theyre arriving at eleven tomorrow morning. But as it turned out, there was very little to do for the chickens. Theres no need to, er, mention it to Molly, Mr. Weasley told Harry, blocking his access to the coop, but, er, Ted Tonks sent me most of what was left of Siriuss bike and, er, Im hiding - thats to say, keeping - it in here. Fantastic stuff: Theres an exhaust gaskin, as I believe its called, the most magnificent battery, and itll be a great opportunity to find out how brakes work. Im going to try and put it all back together again when Mollys not - I mean, when Ive got time. When they returned to the house, Mrs. Weasley was nowhere to be seen, so Harry slipped upstairs to Rons attic bedroom. Im doing it, Im doing -. Oh, its you, said Ron in relief, as Harry entered the room. Ron lay back down on the bed, which he had evidently just vacated. The room was just as messy as it had been all week; the only change was that Hermione was now sitting in the far corner, her fluffy ginger cat, Crookshanks, at her feet, sorting books, some of which Harry recognized as his own, into two enormous piles. Hi, Harry, she said, as he sat down on his camp Pubg game computer download emulator. And how did you manage to get away. Oh, Rons mum forgot that she asked Ginny and me to change the sheets yesterday, said Hermione. She threw Numerology and Grammatica onto one pile and The Rise and Fall of the Dark Arts onto the other. We were just talking please click for source Mad-Eye, Ron told Harry. I reckon he might have survived. But Bill saw him hit by the Killing Curse, said Harry. Yeah, but Bill was under attack too, said Ron. How can he be sure what he saw.
I regret, that I can help nothing. I hope, you will find the correct decision. Do not despair.
