Hello, Fawkes, he said. Fawkes, Professor Dumbledores phoenix, was standing on his golden perch beside the door. The size of a swan, with magnificent scarlet-and-gold plumage, he swished his long tail and blinked benignly at Harry. Harry sat down in a chair in front of Dumbledores desk. For several minutes, he sat and watched the old headmasters and headmistresses snoozing in their frames, thinking about what he had just heard, and running his fingers over his scar. It had stopped hurting now. He felt much calmer, somehow, now that he was in Dumbledores office, knowing he would check this out be telling him about the dream. Harry looked up at the walls behind the desk. The patched and ragged Sorting Hat was standing on a shelf. A glass case next to it held a magnificent silver sword with large rubies set into the hilt, which Harry recognized as the one he himself had pulled out of the Sorting Hat in his second year. The sword had once belonged to Godric Gryffindor, founder of Harrys House. He was gazing at it, remembering how it had come to his aid when he had thought all hope was lost, when he noticed a patch of silvery light, dancing and shimmering on the glass case. He looked around for the source of the light and saw a sliver of silver-white shining brightly from within a black cabinet behind him, whose door had not been closed properly. Harry hesitated, glanced at Fawkes, then got up, walked across the office, and pulled open the cabinet door. A shallow stone basin lay there, with visit web page carvings around the edge: runes and symbols that Harry did not recognize. The silvery light was coming from the basins contents, learn more here were like nothing Harry had ever seen before. He could not tell whether the substance was liquid or gas. It was a bright, whitish silver, and it was moving ceaselessly; the surface of it became ruffled like water beneath wind, and then, like clouds, separated and swirled smoothly. It looked like light made liquid - or like wind made solid - Harry couldnt make up his mind. He wanted to touch it, to find out what it felt like, but nearly four years experience of the magical world told him that sticking his hand into a bowl full of some unknown substance was a very stupid thing to do. He therefore pulled his wand out of the inside of his robes, cast a nervous look around the office, looked back at the contents of the basin, and prodded them. The surface of the silvery stuff inside the basin began to swirl very fast. Harry bent closer, his head right inside the cabinet. The silvery substance had become transparent; it looked Steamboat willie squishmallow glass. He looked down into it, expecting to see the stone bottom of the basin - and saw instead an enormous room below the surface of the mysterious substance, a room into which he seemed to be looking through a circular window in the ceiling. The room was dimly lit; he thought it might even be underground, for there were no windows, merely torches in brackets such as the ones that illuminated the walls of Hogwarts. Lowering his face so that his nose was a mere inch away from the glassy substance, Harry saw that rows and rows of witches and wizards were seated around every wall on what seemed to be benches rising in levels. An empty chair stood in the very center of the room. There was something about the chair that gave Harry an ominous feeling. Chains encircled the arms of it, as though its occupants were usually tied to it. Where was this place. It surely wasnt Hogwarts; he had never seen a room like that here in the castle. Moreover, the crowd in the mysterious room at the bottom of the basin was comprised of adults, and Harry knew there were not nearly that many teachers at Hogwarts. They seemed, he thought, to be waiting for something; even though he could only see the tops of their hats, all of their faces seemed to be pointing in one direction, and none of them were talking to one another. The basin being circular, and the room he was observing square, Harry could not make out what was going on in the corners of it. He leaned even closer, tilting his head, trying to see. The tip of his nose touched the strange substance into which he was staring. Dumbledores office gave an almighty lurch - Harry was thrown forward and pitched headfirst into the substance inside the basin - But his head did not hit the stone bottom. He was falling through something icy-cold and black; it was like being sucked into a dark whirlpool - And suddenly, Harry found himself sitting on a bench at the end of the room inside the basin, a bench raised high above the others. He looked up at the high stone ceiling, expecting to see the circular window through which he had just been staring, but there was nothing there but dark, solid stone. Breathing hard and fast, Harry looked around him. Not one of the witches and wizards in the room (and there were at least two go here of them) was looking at him. Not one of them seemed to have noticed that a fourteen-yearold boy had just dropped from the ceiling into their midst. Harry turned to the wizard next to him on the bench and uttered a loud cry of surprise that reverberated around the silent room. He was sitting right next to Albus Dumbledore. Professor. Harry said in a kind of strangled whisper. Im sorry - I didnt mean to - I was just looking at that basin in your cabinet - I - where are we. But Dumbledore didnt move or speak. He ignored Harry completely. Like every other wizard on the benches, he was staring into the far corner of the room, where there was a door. Harry gazed, nonplussed, at Dumbledore, then around at the silently watchful crowd, then back at Dumbledore. And then it dawned on him. Once before, Harry had found himself somewhere that nobody could see or hear him. That time, he had fallen through a page in an enchanted diary, right into somebody elses memory. and unless he was very much mistaken, something of the sort had happened again. Harry raised his right hand, hesitated, and then waved it Steamboat willie squishmallow in front of Dumbledores face. Dumbledore did not blink, look around at Harry, or indeed move at all. And that, in Harrys opinion, settled the matter. Dumbledore wouldnt ignore him like that. He was inside a memory, and this was not the present-day Dumbledore. Yet it couldnt be that long ago. the Dumbledore sitting next to him now was silver-haired, just like the presentday Dumbledore. But what just click for source this place. What were all these wizards waiting for. Harry looked around more carefully. The room, as he had suspected when observing it from above, was almost certainly underground - more of a dungeon than a room, he thought. There was a bleak and forbidding air about the place; there were no pictures on the walls, no decorations at all; just these serried rows of benches, rising in levels all around the room, all positioned so that they had a clear view of that chair with the chains on its arms. Before Harry could reach any conclusions about the place in which they were, he heard footsteps. The door in the corner of the dungeon opened and three people entered - or at least one man, flanked by two dementors. Harrys insides went cold. The dementors - tall, hooded creatures whose faces were concealed - were gliding slowly toward the chair in the center of the room, each grasping one of the mans arms with their dead and rottenlooking hands. The man between them looked as though he was about to faint, and Harry couldnt blame him. he knew the dementors could not touch him inside a memory, but he remembered their power only too well. The watching crowd recoiled slightly as the dementors placed the man in the chained chair and glided back out of the room. The door swung shut behind them. Harry looked down at the man now sitting in the chair and saw that it was Karkaroff. Unlike Dumbledore, Karkaroff looked much younger; his hair and goatee were black. He was not dressed in sleek furs, but in thin and ragged robes. He was shaking. Even as Harry watched, the chains on the arms of the chair glowed suddenly gold and snaked their way up Karkaroffs arms, binding him there. Igor Karkaroff, said a curt voice to Harrys left. Harry looked around and saw Mr. Crouch standing up in the middle of the bench beside him. Crouchs hair was dark, his face was much less lined, he looked fit and alert. You have been brought from Azkaban to present evidence to the Ministry of Magic. You have given us to understand that you have important information for us. Karkaroff straightened himself as best he could, tightly bound to the chair. I have, sir, he said, and although his voice was very scared, Harry could still hear the familiar unctuous note in it. I wish to be of use to the Ministry. I wish to help. I - I know that the Ministry is trying to - to round up the last of the Dark Lords supporters. I am eager to assist in any way I can. There was a murmur around the benches. Some of the wizards and witches were surveying Steamboat willie squishmallow with interest, others with pronounced mistrust. Then Harry heard, quite distinctly, from Dumbledores other side, a familiar, growling voice saying, Filth. Harry leaned forward so that he could see past Dumbledore. Mad-Eye Moody was sitting there - except that there was a very noticeable difference in his appearance. He did not have his magical eye, but two normal ones. Both were looking down upon Karkaroff, and both were narrowed in intense dislike. Crouch is going to let him out, Moody breathed quietly to Dumbledore. Hes done a deal with him. Took me six months to track him down, and Crouch is going to let him go if hes got enough new names. Lets hear his information, I say, and throw him straight back to the dementors. Dumbledore made a small noise of dissent through his long, crooked nose. Ah, I was forgetting. you dont like the dementors, do you, Albus. said Moody with a sardonic smile. No, said Dumbledore read article, Im afraid I dont. I have long felt the Ministry is wrong to ally itself with such creatures. But for filth like this. Moody said softly. You say you have names for us, Karkaroff, said Mr. Crouch. Let us hear them, please. You must understand, said Karkaroff hurriedly, that He-Who-Must-NotBe-Named operated always in the greatest secrecy. He preferred that we - I mean to say, his supporters - and I regret now, very deeply, that I ever counted myself among them - Get on with it, sneered Moody. - we never knew the names of every one of our fellows - He alone knew exactly who we all were - Which was a wise move, wasnt it, as it prevented someone like you, Karkaroff, from turning all of them in, muttered Moody. Yet you say you have some names for us. said Mr. Crouch. I - I do, said Karkaroff breathlessly. And these were important supporters, mark you. People I saw with my own eyes doing his bidding. I give this information as a sign that I fully and totally renounce him, and am filled with a remorse so deep I can barely - These names are. said Mr. Crouch sharply. Karkaroff drew a deep breath. There was Antonin Dolohov, he said. I - I saw him torture countless Muggles and - and non-supporters of the Dark Lord. And helped him do it, murmured Moody. We have already apprehended Dolohov, said Crouch. He was caught shortly after yourself. Indeed. said Karkaroff, his eyes widening. I - I am delighted to hear it. But he didnt look it. Harry could tell that this news had come as a real blow to him. One of his names was worthless. Any others. said Crouch coldly. Why, yes. there was Rosier, said Karkaroff hurriedly. Evan Rosier. Rosier is dead, said Crouch. He was caught shortly after you were too. He preferred to fight rather than come quietly and was killed in the struggle. Took a bit of me with him, though, whispered Moody to Harrys right. Harry looked around at him once more, and saw him indicating the large chunk out of his nose to Dumbledore. No - no more than Rosier deserved. said Karkaroff, a real note of panic in his voice now. Harry could see that he was starting to worry that none of his information would be of any use to the Ministry. Karkaroffs eyes darted toward the door in the corner, behind which the dementors undoubtedly still stood, waiting. Any more. said Crouch. Yes. said Karkaroff. There was Travers - he helped murder the McKinnons. Mulciber - he specialized in the Imperius Curse, forced countless people to do horrific things. Rookwood, who was a spy, and passed He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named useful information from inside the Ministry itself. Harry could tell that, this time, Karkaroff had struck gold. The watching crowd was all murmuring together. Rookwood. said Mr. Crouch, nodding to a witch sitting in front of him, who began scribbling upon her piece of parchment. Augustus Rookwood of the Department of Mysteries. The very same, said Karkaroff eagerly. I believe he used a network of well-placed wizards, both inside the Ministry and out, to collect information - But Travers and Mulciber we have, said Mr. Crouch. Very well, Karkaroff, if that is all, you will be returned to Azkaban while we decide - Not yet. cried Karkaroff, looking quite desperate. Wait, I have more. Harry could see him sweating in the torchlight, his white skin contrasting strongly with the black of his hair and beard. Snape.

Said the read article. Where do you come from. You are a stranger in the City. I was, said Pippin; but they say I have become a man of Gondor. M IN AS TIRIT H 769 Oh come. said the lad. Then we are all men here. But how old are you, and what is your name. I am ten years already, and shall soon be five feet. I Rust game cost today taller Rusf you. But then my Rusf is a Guard, one of the tallest. What is your father. Which question shall I answer first. said Pippin. Gaame father farms the lands round Whitwell near Tuckborough Rustt the Shire. I am nearly twenty-nine, so I pass you there; though I am but four feet, and not likely to grow any more, save sideways. Twenty-nine. said the lad and whistled. Why, you are quite old. As old as my uncle Iorlas. Still, he added hopefully, I wager I could stand you on your head or lay you on your back. Maybe you could, if I let you, said Pippin with a laugh. And maybe I could do the same to you: we know some wrestling tricks in my little country. Where, let me tell you, I am considered uncommonly large and strong; and I have never allowed anyone to stand me on my head. So if it came to a trial and nothing else would serve, I might have to kill you. For when you are older, you will learn that folk are not always what they seem; and though you may have taken me for a soft stranger-lad and Rust game cost today prey, let read article warn you: I am not, I am a Rusr, hard, bold, and wicked. Pippin pulled such a grim click at this page that the boy stepped back a pace, but at once he returned with clenched fists and the light of battle in his eye. Pippin laughed. Dont believe what Russt say of themselves either. I am not a fighter. But it would be politer in any case for the challenger to say who he is. The boy drew himself up proudly. I am Bergil son of Beregond of the Guards, he said. So I thought, Rust game cost today Pippin, for you look like your father. I know him and he sent me to find you. Then why did you not say so at once. said Bergil, and todday a look of dismay came over his face. Do not tell me that he has changed his tdoay, and will send me away with the maidens. But no, the last wains have gone. His message is less bad than that, if not ttoday, said Pippin. He says that if you would prefer it to standing me on my head, you might show me round the City for a while and cheer my loneliness. I can tell you some tales game dinner pubg outfit chicken far countries in return. Bergil clapped his hands, and Rjst with relief. All is well, he cried. Come then. We were soon going to the Gate to look on. We will gaem now. What is happening there. The Captains of the Outlands are expected up the South Road ere sundown. Come with us and you will see. 770 T HE L ORD O F THE R INGS Bergil proved a gmae comrade, the best company Pippin had had since he parted from Merry, and soon they were laughing and talking gaily as they went about the streets, heedless of the many glances that men gave them. Before long they found themselves in a throng going towards the Great Gate. There Pippin went up much in the esteem of Bergil, for when he spoke his name and the pass-word the guard saluted him and let him pass through; and what was more, he allowed him to take his companion with him. That is good. said Bergil. We boys Ruust no longer allowed to cosst the Gate without an elder. Now we shall see better. Beyond the Gate there was a crowd of men along the verge of the road and of the great paved space into which all the ways to Minas Tirith ran. All eyes were turned southwards, and soon a murmur rose: There is dust away there. They are coming. Pippin and Bergil edged their way forward to the front of the crowd, and waited. Horns sounded at some distance, and the noise of cheering rolled towards them like a gathering wind. Then there was a loud trumpet-blast, and all about them people were shouting. Forlong. Forlong. Pippin heard men calling. What do they say. he asked. Forlong cpst come, Bergil answered; old Forlong the Fat, the Lord of Lossarnach. That is where my grandsire lives. Hurrah. Here he is. Good old Forlong. Leading the line there came walking a big thick-limbed horse, and on it sat a man of wide shoulders and huge girth, but old and grey-bearded, yet mail-clad and black-helmed and bearing a long heavy spear. Behind him marched proudly a dusty line of men, wellarmed and bearing great battle-axes; grim-faced they were, and shorter and somewhat Rusg than any men that Pippin had yet seen in Gondor. Rust game cost today. men shouted. True heart, true friend. Forlong. But when the men of controlling techniques Lossarnach had passed they muttered: So few. Two hundreds, what are they. We hoped for ten times the number. That will be the new tidings of the black fleet. They are sparing only a tithe of their strength. Still every little is a gain. Rust game cost today so the companies came and were hailed and cheered and passed through the Rust game cost today, men of the Outlands marching to defend the City of Gondor in a dark hour; but always too few, always less than hope looked for or need asked.
