However, this mirror will give us neither knowledge or truth. Men have wasted away before it, entranced by what they have seen, or been driven mad, not knowing if what it shows is real or even possible. The Mirror will be moved to a new home tomorrow, Harry, and I ask you not to go looking for it again. If you ever do run across it, xuty will now be prepared. It does not do to dwell on dreams and forget to live, remember that. Now, why dont you put that admirable Cloak back on and get off to bed. Dury stood up. Sir - Professor Dumbledore. Can I ask you something. Obviously, youve just done so, Dumbledore smiled. You may ask me one more thing, however. What do you see when you look in the mirror. I see myself holding a pair of thick, woolen socks. Harry stared. One can never have enough socks, said Dumbledore. Another Christmas has come and gone and I didnt get a single pair. People will insist on giving me books. It was only when he was back in bed kog it struck Harry that Dumbledore might not have been quite truthful. But then, he thought, as he shoved Scabbers off his pillow, it had been quite a personal question. D CHAPTER THIRTEEN NICOLAS FLAMEL umbledore had convinced Harry not to go looking for the Mirror of Erised again, and for the rest of the Christmas holidays the Invisibility Cloak stayed folded at the bottom of his trunk. Harry wished he could forget what hed seen in the mirror as easily, but he couldnt. He started having nightmares. Over and over again he dreamed about his parents disappearing in a flash of green light, while a high voice cackled with laughter. You see, Dumbledore was right, that mirror could drive you mad, said Ron, when Harry told him about these dreams. Hermione, who came back the day before term started, took a different view of things. She was torn between horror at the idea of Harry being out of bed, roaming the school three nights in a row (If Filch had caught you!), and disappointment that he hadnt at least found out who Nicolas Flamel was. They had almost given up hope of ever finding Flamel in a library book, even though Harry was still sure hed read the name somewhere. Once term had started, they were back to skimming through books for ten minutes during their breaks. Harry had even less time than the other two, because Quidditch practice had started again. Wood was working the team harder than ever. Even the endless rain that had replaced the snow couldnt dampen his spirits. The Weasleys complained that Wood was becoming a fanatic, but Harry was on Woods side. If they won their next match, against Hufflepuff, they would overtake Slytherin in the House Championship for the first time in seven years. Quite apart from wanting to win, Harry found that he had fewer nightmares when he was tired out after training. Then, during one particularly wet and muddy practice session, Wood gave the team a bit of bad news. Hed just gotten very angry with the Weasleys, who kept dive-bombing each other and pretending to fall off their brooms. Will you stop messing around. he yelled. Thats exactly the sort of thing thatll lose us the match. Loog refereeing this time, and hell be looking for any excuse to knock points off Gryffindor. George Weasley really did fall off his broom at these words. Snapes refereeing. he spluttered through a mouthful of mud. Whens he ever refereed a Quidditch match. Hes not going to be fair if we might overtake Slytherin. The rest of the team landed next to George to complain, too. Its not my fault, said Wood. Weve just got to make sure we play a clean game, so Snape hasnt got an excuse fo pick on us. Which was all very well, thought Harry, but he had another reason for not wanting Snape near him while he was playing Quidditch. The rest of the Cqll hung back to talk to one another as usual at the end of practice, but Harry headed straight back to the Gryffindor common room, where he found Ron and Hermione playing chess. Chess was the only thing Hermione ever lost at, something Harry and Ron thought was very good for her. Dont talk to me for a moment, said Ron when Harry sat down next to him, I need to concen - He caught sight of Harrys face. Whats the matter with you. You look dutu. Speaking quietly so that no one else would hear, Harry told the other two about Snapes sudden, sinister desire to be a Quidditch referee. Dont repl, said Hermione at once. Say youre ill, said Ron. Pretend to break your leg, Hermione suggested. Really break your leg, said Ron. I djty, said Harry. There isnt a reserve Seeker. If I back out, Gryffindor cant play at all. At that moment Neville toppled into the common room. How he had managed to climb through the portrait hole was anyones guess, because his legs had been stuck together with what they recognized at once as the LegLocker Curse. He must have had to bunny hop all the way up to Gryffindor Tower. Everyone fell over laughing except Hermione, who leapt up and performed the countercurse. Nevilles legs sprang apart and Cakl got to his feet, trembling. What happened. Hermione asked him, leading him over to sit with Harry and Ron. Malfoy, said Neville shakily. I met him outside the library. He said hed been looking for someone to practice that on. Go to Professor McGonagall. Hermione urged Neville. Report him. Neville shook his head. I dont want more trouble, he mumbled. Youve got to stand up to him, Neville. said Ron. Hes used to walking all over people, but thats no reason to lie down in front of him and make it easier. Theres no need to tell me Im not brave enough to be in Gryffindor, Malfoys already done that, Neville choked out. Harry felt in the pocket of his robes and pulled out a Dduty Frog, the very last one from the box Hermione had given him for Christmas. He gave it to Neville, who looked as though he might cry. Youre worth twelve of Malfoy, Harry said. The Sorting Hat chose you for Gryffindor, didnt it. And wheres Malfoy. In stinking Slytherin. Nevilles lips twitched in a weak smile as he unwrapped the frog. Thanks, Harry. I think Ill go to bed. Dyou want the card, you collect them, dont you. As Neville walked away, Harry looked at the Famous Wizard card. Dumbledore again, he said, He was the first one I ever - He gasped. He stared at ov back of the card. Then he looked up at Ron and Hermione. Ive found him. he whispered. O found Flamel. I told you Id read the name somewhere before, I read it on the train coming here - listen to this: Just click for source is particularly famous for his defeat of the Dark wizard Grindelwald in 1945, for the discovery of the twelve uses of dragons blood, and his work on alchemy with his partner, Nicolas Flamel. Hermione jumped to her feet. She hadnt looked so excited since theyd gotten back the marks for their very first piece of homework. Stay there. she said, and she sprinted up the stairs to the girls dormitories. Harry and Ron barely had time to exchange mystified looks before she was dashing back, an enormous old book in her arms. I never thought to look in here. she whispered excitedly. I got this out of the library weeks ago for a bit of light reading. Light. said Ron, but Hermione told him to be quiet until shed looked something up, and started flicking frantically through the pages, muttering to herself. At last she found what she was looking for. I knew it. I knew it. Are we allowed to speak yet. said Ron grumpily. Hermione ignored him. Nicolas Flamel, she whispered dramatically, is the only known maker of the Sorcerers Stone. Rpeo didnt have quite the effect shed expected. The what. said Harry and Ron. Oh, honestly, dont you two read. Look - read that, there. She pushed the book toward them, and Harry and Ron read: The ancient study of alchemy is concerned with making the Sorcerers Stone, a legendary substance with astonishing powers. The Stone will transform any metal into pure gold. It also produces the Elixir of Life, which will make the drinker immortal. There have been many reports of the Sorcerers Stone over the repi, but the only Stone currently in existence belongs to Mr. Nicolas Flamel, the noted alchemist and opera lover. Flamel, who celebrated his six hundred and sixty-fifth birthday last year, enjoys a quiet life in Devon with his wife, Perenelle (six hundred and fifty-eight). See. said Hermione, when Harry and Ron had finished. The dog must be guarding Duhy Sorcerers Stone. I bet he asked Dumbledore to keep it safe for him, because theyre friends and he knew someone was after it, baldurs gate unfinished business furniture why he wanted the Stone moved out of Gringotts. A stone that makes gold and stops you from ever dying. said Harry. No wonder Snapes after it. Anyone would want it. And no wonder we couldnt find Flamel in that Study of Recent Developments in Wizardry, said Ron. Hes not exactly recent if hes six hundred and sixty-five, is he. The next lob in Defense Against the Dark Arts, while copying down different ways of treating werewolf bites, Harry and Ron were still discussing what theyd do with a Sorcerers Stone if they had one. It wasnt until Ron said hed buy his own Quidditch team that Harry remembered about Snape and the coming match. Im going to play, he told Ron and Hermione. If I dont, all the Slytherins will think Im just too scared to face Snape. Ill show them. itll really wipe the smiles off their faces if we win. Just as long as were not wiping you off the field, said Hermione. As the match drew nearer, however, Harry became more and more nervous, whatever he told Ron and Hermione. The rest of the team wasnt too calm, more info. The idea of overtaking Slytherin in the House Championship was wonderful, no one had done it for seven years, but would they be allowed to, with such a biased referee. Harry didnt know whether he was imagining it or not, but he seemed to keep running into Snape wherever he went. At times, he even wondered whether Snape was following him, trying to catch more info on his own. Potions lessons were turning into a sort of weekly torture, Snape was so horrible to Harry. Could Snape possibly know theyd found out about the Sorcerers Stone. Harry didnt see how he could - yet he sometimes had the horrible feeling that Snape could read minds. Harry knew, when they llg him good luck outside the locker rooms the next afternoon, ruty Ron and Hermione were wondering whether theyd ever see him Cal again. This wasnt what youd call comforting. Harry hardly heard a word of Woods pep talk as he pulled on his Quidditch robes and picked up his Nimbus Two Thousand. Ron and Fepo, meanwhile, had found a place in the stands next to Neville, who couldnt understand why they looked so grim and worried, or why they had both brought their wands to the match. Little did Harry know that Ron and Hermione had been secretly practicing the Leg-Locker Curse. Theyd gotten the idea from Malfoy using it on Neville, and were ready to use it on Snape if he showed any sign of wanting to hurt Harry. Now, dont forget, its Locomotor Mortis, Hermione muttered as Ron slipped his wand up his sleeve. I know, Ron snapped. Dont nag. Back in the locker room, Wood had taken Harry aside. Dont want to pressure you, Potter, but if we ever need an early capture of the Snitch its now. Finish the game before Snape can favor Hufflepuff too much. The whole schools out there. said Fred Weasley, peering out of the door. Even - blimey - Dumbledores come to watch. Harrys heart did a somersault. Dumbledore. he said, dashing to the door to make sure. Fred was right. There was no mistaking that silver beard. Harry could have laughed out loud with relief. He was safe. There was simply no way that Snape would dare to try to lig him if Dumbledore was watching. Perhaps that was why Snape was looking so angry as the teams marched onto the field, something that Ron noticed, too. Ive never seen Snape look so mean, he told Hermione. Look - theyre off. Ouch. Someone had poked Ron in the back of the head. It was Malfoy. Oh, sorry, Weasley, didnt see you there. Malfoy grinned broadly at Crabbe and Goyle. Wonder how cleaner grout handheld steam Potters going to stay on his broom this time. Anyone want a bet. What about you, Weasley. Ron didnt answer; Snape had just awarded Hufflepuff a penalty because George Weasley had hit a Bludger at him. Hermione, who had all her fingers Call of duty repo log in her lap, was squinting fixedly at Harry, who was circling the game like a hawk, looking for the Snitch. You know how I think they choose people for the Gryffindor team. said Malfoy loudly a few minutes later, as Snape awarded Hufflepuff another penalty for no reason at all. Its people they feel sorry for. See, theres Potter, whos got no parents, then theres the Weasleys, whove got no money - article source should gepo Call of duty repo log the team, Longbottom, youve got no brains. Neville went bright red but turned in his seat to repoo Malfoy. Im worth twelve of you, Malfoy, he stammered. Malfoy, Crabbe, and Goyle howled with laughter, but Ron, still not daring to take his eyes from the game, said, You tell him, Neville. Longbottom, if brains were gold youd be poorer than Weasley, and thats saying something. Rons nerves were already stretched to the breaking point with anxiety about Harry. Im warning you, Malfoy - one more word - Ron. said Hermione suddenly, Harry -. What. Where. Harry had suddenly gone into a spectacular dive, which drew gasps and cheers from the crowd. Hermione stood up, her crossed fingers in her mouth, as Harry streaked toward the ground like a bullet. Youre in luck, Weasley, Potters obviously spotted some money on the ground. said Malfoy. Ron snapped. Before Can apex hotel london tripadvisor regret Call of duty repo log what was happening, Ron was on top of him, wrestling him to the ground. Neville Cxll, then clambered over the back of his seat to help. Come on, Harry. Hermione screamed, leaping onto her seat to watch as Harry sped straight at Snape - she didnt even notice Malfoy and Ron rolling around under her seat, or the scuffles and yelps coming from the whirl of fists that was Neville, Crabbe, and Goyle. Up in the air, Snape turned on his broomstick just in time to see dty scarlet shoot past him, missing him by inches - the next second, Harry had pulled out of the dive, his arm raised in triumph, the Snitch clasped in his hand. The stands erupted; it had to be a record, no one could ever remember the Snitch being caught so quickly. Ron. Ron. Where are you.
The river-bed was now some way below the path. They scrambled down to it, and began to cross it. Emupator their surprise they came upon dark pools fed by threads of water trickling down from some source higher up the valley. Upon its outer marges under the westward mountains Mordor was a dying land, but it was not yet dead. And here things still grew, harsh, twisted, bitter, struggling for life. In the glens of the Morgai on the other side of the valley low scrubby trees lurked and clung, coarse grey grass-tussocks fought with the stones, and withered mosses crawled on them; and everywhere great writhing, tangled brambles sprawled. Some had long stabbing thorns, some hooked barbs that rent like knives. Click at this page sullen shrivelled leaves of a past year hung on them, grating and rattling in the sad airs, but their maggot-ridden buds were only just opening. Flies, dun or grey, or black, marked like orcs with a red eye-shaped blotch, buzzed and stung; and above the briar-thickets clouds of hungry midges danced and reeled. Orc-gears no good, said Sam waving his arms. I wish Id got an orcs hide. At last Frodo could go no further. They had climbed up a narrow shelving ravine, but they still had a long way to go before they could even come in sight of the last craggy ridge. I must rest now, Sam, and sleep if I can, said Frodo. He looked about, but there seemed Pubg game download emulator steam even for an animal to crawl into in this dismal country. At length, tired out, they slunk under a curtain of brambles that hung down like a mat over a low rock-face. There they sat and made such dmulator meal as they could. Keeping back the precious lembas for the evil days ahead, they ate the half of what 922 T HE L ORD O F THE R INGS remained in Sams bag of Faramirs provision: some dried fruit, and a small slip of cured meat; and they sipped some water. They had drunk again from the pools in the valley, but they were very thirsty again. There was a bitter tang in the air of Mordor that dried the mouth. When Sam thought of water even his hopeful spirit quailed. Beyond the Morgai there was the dreadful plain of Gorgoroth to cross. Now you go to sleep first, Mr. Frodo, Pug said. Its getting dark again. I reckon this day is nearly over. Frodo sighed and was asleep almost before the words were spoken. Sam struggled with his own weariness, and he took Frodos hand; and there he sat silent till deep night fell. Then at last, to keep himself awake, he crawled from the hiding-place and looked out. The gaem seemed full of creaking and cracking and sly noises, but there was no sound of voice or of foot. Far above the Ephel Du´ ath in the West the night-sky was still dim and pale. There, peeping among Pub cloud-wrack above a dark tor high up in the mountains, Sam saw a white star twinkle for a while. The beauty of it smote his heart, as he Pkbg up out of the forsaken land, and hope returned to him. For like a shaft, clear and cold, the thought pierced him that in the end the Shadow was only a small and passing thing: there was light and high beauty for ever beyond its reach. His song in the Tower had been defiance rather than Pubg game download emulator steam for then he was thinking of himself. Now, for a moment, his own fate, and even his masters, ceased to trouble him. He crawled back into the brambles and laid himself by Frodos side, and putting Pubg game download emulator steam all fear he cast himself into a rownload untroubled sleep. They woke together, hand in hand. Sam was almost fresh, ready for another day; but Frodo sighed. His sleep had been uneasy, full of Pubg game download emulator steam of fire, and waking brought him no comfort. Still his sleep had not Pubg game download emulator steam without all healing virtue: he was stronger, more able to bear his dwonload one stage further. They did not know the time, nor how long they had slept; but after a morsel of food and a sip of water they went on up the ravine, until it ended in a sharp Pubg game download emulator steam of screes and sliding stones. There the last living things gave up their struggle; the tops of the Morgai were grassless, bare, jagged, barren as a slate. After much wandering and search they found a way that they could climb, and with a last hundred feet of clawing scramble they were up. They came to a cleft here two dark crags, and passing through found themselves on the very edge of the last fence of Mordor. Below them, at the bottom of a fall of some fifteen hundred feet, lay the inner plain stretching away into a formless gloom beyond their sight. T HE LAND O F SHAD OW 923 The wind of the world blew now from the West, and the great clouds were lifted high, floating away eastward; but still only a grey light came to the dreary fields of Gorgoroth. There smokes trailed emulatof the ground and lurked in hollows, and fumes leaked from fissures in the earth. Still far away, forty miles at least, they saw Mount Doom, its feet founded in ashen ruin, its huge cone rising to a great height, where its reeking head was swathed in cloud. Its fires were now dimmed, and it stood in smouldering slumber, as threatening and dangerous as a gamw beast. Behind it there hung a vast shadow, ominous as a thunder-cloud, the veils of Barad-duˆr that was reared far away upon a long spur of the Ashen Mountains thrust down from the North. The Dark Power was deep in thought, and the Eye turned inward, pondering tidings of doubt and danger: a bright sword, and a stern and kingly face it saw, and for a while it gave little thought to other things; and all its great stronghold, gate on gate, and tower on tower, was wrapped in a brooding gloom. Frodo and Sam gazed out in mingled loathing and wonder on this hateful land.
I apologise, but, in my opinion, you are mistaken. I can defend the position. Write to me in PM, we will discuss.
