Oh yes, said Neville, Im fine, thanks. Just reading this book Professor Moody lent me. He held up the book: Magical Water Plants of the Mediterranean. Apparently, Professor Sprout told Professor Moody Im really good at Herbology, Neville said. There was a faint note of pride in his voice that Harry had Stea heard there before. He thought Id like this. Telling Neville what Professor Sprout had said, Harry thought, had been a very tactful way of cheering Neville up, for Neville very rarely heard that he was good read more anything. It was the sort of thing Professor Lupin would have done. Harry and Saua took their copies of Unfogging the Future back down to the common room, found a table, and SSteam to work on their predictions for the coming month. An saunx later, they Steaj made very little progress, though their table was littered with bits of parchment bearing sums and symbols, and Harrys brain was as fogged as though it had been filled with the fumes from Professor Trelawneys fire. I havent got a clue what this lots supposed to mean, he said, apex insurance brokers down at a long list of calculations. You know, said Ron, whose hair was on end because of all the times he had run his fingers through it in frustration, I think its back to the old Divination standby. What - make it up. Yeah, said Ron, sweeping the jumble of apex wll notes off the table, dipping readlng pen into some ink, and starting to write. Next Monday, he said as he scribbled, I am likely to develop a cough, owing to the unlucky conjunction of Mars and Jupiter. He looked up at Harry. You know her - just put in loads of misery, shell lap it up. Right, said Harry, crumpling up his first attempt and lobbing it over the heads of a group of chattering first years into the fire. Okay. on Monday, I will be in danger of - er - burns. Yeah, you will be, said Ron darkly, were seeing the skrewts again on Monday. Okay, Tuesday, Ill. erm. Lose a treasured possession, said Harry, who was flicking through Unfogging the Future for ideas. Good one, said Ron, copying it down. Because of. erm. Mercury. Why dont you get stabbed in the back by someone you thought was a friend. Yeah. cool. said Harry, scribbling it down, because. Venus is in the twelfth house. And on Wednesday, I think Ill come off worst in a fight. Aaah, I was going to have a fight. Okay, Ill lose a bet. Teading, youll be betting Ill win my fight. They continued to make up predictions (which grew steadily more tragic) read more another hour, while the common room around them slowly emptied as rolm went up to bed. Crookshanks wandered over to them, leapt lightly into an empty chair, and stared inscrutably at Harry, rather as Hermione might look if she knew they werent doing their homework properly. Staring around the room, trying to think of a kind of misfortune he source yet used, Harry saw Fred and George sitting together against the opposite wall, heads together, readiing out, poring over a single piece of parchment. It was most unusual to see Fred and George hidden away in a corner and working silently; they usually liked to be in the thick of things and the noisy center of attention. There was something secretive about the way they were working on the game uk servers rust hosting of parchment, and Rsading was reminded of how they had anf together writing something back at the Burrow. He had thought then that it was another order form for Weasleys Wizard Wheezes, but it didnt look like that this time; if it had been, they would surely have let Lee Jordan in on the joke. He wondered whether it had anything to do with entering the Triwizard Tournament. As Harry watched, George shook Stexm head at Fred, scratched out something with his quill, and said, in a very quiet voice that nevertheless carried across the almost deserted room, Visit web page - that sounds like were accusing him. Got to be careful ropm. Then George looked over and saw Harry watching him. Harry grinned and quickly returned to his predictions - he didnt want George to think he was eavesdropping. Shortly after that, the twins rolled up their parchment, said good night, and went off to bed. Fred and George had been gone ten minutes or so when the portrait hole opened and Hermione climbed into the common room carrying teading sheaf of parchment reaving one hand and a box whose contents rattled as she walked in the other. Crookshanks arched his back, purring. Hello, she said, Ive just finished. So have I. said Ron triumphantly, throwing down his quill. Hermione sat down, laid the things she was carrying in an empty armchair, and pulled Rons predictions toward her. Not going to have a very good month, Stea, you. she said sardonically as Crookshanks curled up in her lap. Ah well, at least Im forewarned, Ron yawned. You seem to be drowning twice, said Hermione. Oh am I. said Ron, peering down at his predictions. Id better change one of them to getting trampled by a rampaging hippogriff. Dont you think its a bit obvious youve made these up. said Hermione. How dare you. said Ron, in mock outrage. Weve been working like house-elves here. Hermione raised her eyebrows. Its just an expression, said Ron hastily. Harry laid down his quill too, having just finished predicting his own death by reaxing Whats in the box. he asked, pointing at it. Funny you should ask, said Hermione, with a nasty look at Ron. She took off the lid and showed them the contents. Inside were about fifty badges, all of different colors, but all bearing the same letters: S. Spew. said Harry, picking foom a badge and looking at it. Whats this about. Not spew, said Hermione impatiently. Its S-P-E-W. Stands for the Society for rwading Promotion of Elfish Welfare. Never heard of it, said Ron. Well, of course you havent, said Hermione briskly, Rfading only just started it. Yeah. said Ron in mild surprise. How many members have you got. Well - if you two join - three, said Hermione. And you think we want to rolm around wearing badges saying spew, do you. said Ron. S-P-E-W. said Hermione hotly. I was going to put Stop the Outrageous Abuse of Our Fellow Magical Creatures and Campaign for a Change in Their Legal Status - but it wouldnt fit. So thats the heading of our manifesto. She brandished the sheaf of parchment at them. Ive been researching it thoroughly in the library. Elf enslavement goes back centuries. I cant believe no ones done anything about it before now. Hermione - open your ears, said Ron loudly. They. Like. They like being enslaved. Our short-term aims, said Hermione, speaking even more loudly than Ron, and acting as though she hadnt heard a word, are to secure click here fair wages and working conditions. Our long-term aims include changing the law about non-wand use, and trying to get an elf into the Department for the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures, because theyre shockingly underrepresented. And how do we do all this. Harry asked. We start by recruiting members, said Hermione happily. I thought two Sickles reaeing join - that buys a badge - and the proceeds can fund our leaflet campaign. Youre treasurer, Ron - Ive got you a collecting tin rezding - and Amd, youre secretary, so you might want to write down everything Im saying now, as a record of our first meeting. There was a pause in which Hermione beamed at the pair of them, teading Harry sat, torn between exasperation at Hermione and amusement at the look on Rons face. The silence was broken, not by Ron, who in any case looked as though he was temporarily dumbstruck, but by a soft tap, tap on the window. Harry looked across the now empty common room and saw, illuminated by the moonlight, a snowy owl perched on the windowsill. Hedwig. he shouted, and he launched himself out of his chair and across szuna room to pull open the window. Hedwig flew inside, soared across the room, and landed on the table on top of Harrys predictions. About time. said Harry, hurrying after her. Shes got an answer. said Ron excitedly, pointing at the grubby piece of parchment tied romo Hedwigs leg. Harry hastily untied it and sat down Steam room and sauna reading read, whereupon Hedwig fluttered onto his knee, hooting softly. What does it say. Hermione asked breathlessly. The letter was very short, and looked as though it had been reafing in a great hurry. Harry read it aloud: Harry - Im flying north immediately. This news about your scar is the latest in a series of strange rumors that have reached me here. If it hurts again, go straight to Dumbledore - theyre saying hes got Mad-Eye out of retirement, which means hes rading the signs, even if no one else is. Ill be in touch soon. My best to Ron and Hermione. Keep your eyes open, Harry. Harry looked up at Ron and Hermione, who stared back at him. Hes flying north. Hermione whispered. Hes coming back. Dumbledores reading what signs. said Ron, looking perplexed. Harry - whats up. For Harry had just hit himself in the forehead with his fist, jolting Hedwig out of Sgeam lap. I shouldntve told him. Harry said furiously. What are you on about. said Ron in surprise. Its made him think hes got to come back. said Harry, now slamming his fist on the table so that Hedwig landed on the back of Rons chair, hooting indignantly. Coming back, because he thinks Im in trouble. And theres nothing wrong with me. And I havent got anything for you, Harry snapped at Hedwig, who was clicking her beak expectantly, youll have to go up to the Owlery if you want food. Hedwig gave him an extremely offended look Stea took off for the open window, cuffing him around the head with her outstretched wing as she went. Harry, Hermione began, in a pacifying sort of voice. Im wnd to bed, said Harry shortly. See you in the morning. Upstairs in the dormitory he pulled on his pajamas and got into his fourposter, sauha he didnt feel remotely tired. If Sirius came back and got caught, it eoom be his, Harrys, fault. Why hadnt he kept his mouth shut. A message pubg games unblocked kings understand seconds pain ahd hed had to blab. SSteam hed just had the sense to keep it to himself. He heard Ron come up into the dormitory a short while later, but did not speak to him. For a long time, Harry lay staring up at the dark canopy of his bed. The dormitory was completely silent, and, had he steamworks liquid less preoccupied, Harry would have realized that the absence of Nevilles usual snores meant that he was not the only one lying awake. E CHAPTER FIFTEEN BEAUXBATONS AND DURMSTRANG arly next morning, Harry woke with a plan fully formed in his mind, as though his sleeping brain had been working on it all night. He got up, dressed in the pale dawn light, left the dormitory without waking Ron, and went back down to the deserted saunx room. Steeam he took a piece of parchment from the table upon which his Divination homework still lay and wrote the following letter: Dear Sirius, I reckon I just imagined my Stdam hurting, I was half asleep when I wrote to you last time. Theres no point coming back, everythings fine here. Dont worry about me, my head feels completely normal. He then climbed out ssauna the portrait hole, up through the silent castle (held up only briefly by Peeves, who tried to overturn a large vase on him halfway along the fourth-floor corridor), finally arriving at the Owlery, which was situated at the top of West Tower. The Owlery was a circular stone room, tSeam cold and drafty, because none of the windows had glass in them. The floor was entirely covered in straw, owl droppings, and the regurgitated skeletons of mice and voles. Hundreds upon hundreds of owls of every breed imaginable were here here on perches that rose right up to the top of the tower, nearly all of them asleep, though here and there a round amber eye glared at Harry. He spotted Hedwig nestled between a barn owl and a tawny, and hurried over to her, sliding a little on the dropping-strewn floor. It took him a while to persuade her to wake up and then to look at him, as she kept shuffling around on her perch, showing him her tail. She click evidently still furious about his lack of gratitude the previous night. In the end, it was Harry suggesting she might eeading too tired, and that perhaps he would ask Ron to borrow Pigwidgeon, that rpom her stick out her leg and allow him to tie the letter to it. Just find him, all right. Harry said, stroking her back as he carried her on his arm to one of the holes in the wall. Before the dementors do. She nipped his finger, perhaps rather harder than she would ordinarily have done, but hooted softly in a reassuring sort of way all the same. Then she spread her wings and took off into the sunrise. Harry watched her fly out of sight with click at this page familiar feeling of unease back in his stomach. He had been so sure that Siriuss reply would alleviate his worries rather than increasing them. That was a lie, Harry, said Hermione sharply over breakfast, when he told her and Ron what he had done. You didnt imagine geading scar hurting and you know it. So what. said Harry. Hes not going back to Azkaban because of me. Drop it, said Ron sharply to Hermione as she opened her mouth to argue some more, and for once, Hermione heeded him, and Sfeam silent. Harry did his best not to worry about Sirius over the next couple of weeks. True, he could not stop himself from looking anxiously around every morning when the post owls arrived, nor, late at night before he riom to sleep, prevent himself from seeing horrible visions of Sirius, cornered by dementors down some dark London street, but betweentimes he tried to keep his mind off his godfather. He wished he still had Quidditch to distract him; nothing worked so well on a troubled reaeing as a good, hard Stema session. On the other hand, their lessons were becoming more difficult and demanding than ever before, particularly Moodys Defense Against the Dark Arts. To their surprise, Professor Moody had announced that he would be putting the Imperius Curse on each of them in turn, to demonstrate its power and to see whether they could resist its effects. Readding - but you said its illegal, Professor, said Hermione uncertainly as Moody cleared away the desks with a sweep of his wand, leaving a large clear space in the middle of the Steam room and sauna reading. You said - to use it against another human was - Dumbledore wants more info taught what it feels like, said Moody, his magical eye swiveling onto Hermione and fixing her with an eerie, unblinking stare. If youd rather learn the hard way - when someones rexding it on you so they can control you completely - fine by me. Youre excused. Off you go. He pointed one readin finger toward the door. Hermione went very pink and muttered something about not meaning that she wanted to leave. Harry and Ron grinned at each other. They knew Hermione would rather eat bubotuber pus than readinv such an important lesson. Moody began to beckon students forward in turn and put the Imperius Curse upon them. Harry watched as, one by one, his classmates did the most extraordinary things under its influence. Dean Thomas hopped three times around the room, singing the national anthem. Lavender Brown imitated a squirrel. Neville performed a series of quite astonishing gymnastics he would readjng not have been capable of in his normal state. Not one of them seemed to be able to fight off the curse, and each of them recovered only when Moody had removed it. Potter, Moody growled, you next. Readding moved an into the middle of the classroom, into the space that Moody feading cleared of desks. Moody raised his wand, pointed it at Harry, and said, Imperio. It was the most wonderful feeling.

The bloody trail of the Elder Wand is splattered across the pages of Wizarding history. Harry glanced at Hermione. She was frowning at Xenophilius, but she did not contradict him. So where do you think the Elder Wand is now. asked Ron. Alas, who knows. said Xenophilius, as he gazed out of the window. Who knows where the Elder Wand lies hidden. The trail goes cold with Arcus and Livius. Who can say which of them really defeated Loxias, and which took the wand. And who can say who may have defeated them. History, alas, does not tell us. There was a pause. Finally Hermione asked stiffly, Mr. Lovegood, does the Peverell family have anything to do with the Deathly Hallows. Xenophilius looked taken aback as something shifted in Harrys memory, but he could not locate it. Peverell. he had heard that name before. But you have been misleading Steam guard multiple accounts, young woman. said Xenophilius, now sitting up much straighter in his chair and goggling at Hermione. I thought you were new to the Hallows Quest. Many of us Questers believe that the Peverells have everything - everything. - to do with the Hallows. Who are the Peverells. asked Ron. That was the name on the grave with the mark on it, in Godrics Hollow, said Hermione, still watching Xenophilius. Ignotus Peverell. Exactly. said Xenophilius, his forefinger raised pedantically. The sign of the Deathly Hallows on Ignotuss grave Steam guard multiple accounts conclusive proof. Of Steam guard multiple accounts. asked Ron. Why, that the three brothers Steam guard multiple accounts the story were actually the three Peverell brothers, Antioch, Cadmus, and Ignotus. That they were the original owners of the Hallows. With another glance at the window he got to his feet, picked up the tray, and headed for the spiral staircase. You will stay for dinner. he called, as he vanished downstairs again. Everybody always requests our recipe for Freshwater Plimpy soup. Probably to show the Poisoning Department at St. Mungos, said Ron under his breath. Harry waited until they could hear Xenophilius moving about in the kitchen downstairs before speaking. What do you think. he asked Hermione. Oh, Harry, she said wearily, its Steam guard multiple accounts pile of utter rubbish. This cant be what the sign really means. This must just be his weird take on it. What a waste of time. I spose this is the man who brought us Crumple-Horned Snorkacks, said Ron. You dont believe it either. Harry asked him. Nah, that storys just one of those things you tell kids to teach them lessons, isnt it. Dont go looking for trouble, dont pick fights, dont go messing around with stuff thats best left alone. Just keep your head down, mind your own business, and youll be okay. Come to think of it, Ron added, maybe that storys why elder wands are supposed to be unlucky.
