Harry gasped. The snowy owl clicked her beak and fluttered down onto Harrys arm. Very smart owl youve got there, chuckled Tom. Arrived about five minutes after you did. If theres anything you need, Mr. Potter, dont hesitate to ask. He gave another bow and left. Harry sat on his bed for a long time, absentmindedly stroking Hedwig. The sky outside the window was changing rapidly from deep, velvety blue to cold, steely gray and then, slowly, to pink shot with gold. Harry could hardly believe that hed left Privet Drive only a few hours ago, that he wasnt expelled, and that he was now facing three completely Dursley-free weeks. Its been a very weird night, Hedwig, he yawned. And without even removing his glasses, he slumped back onto his pillows and fell asleep. I CHAPTER FOUR THE LEAKY CAULDRON t took Harry several days to get used to his strange new freedom. Never before had he been able to get up whenever he wanted or eat whatever he fancied. He could even go wherever he pleased, as long as it was in Diagon Alley, and as this long cobbled street was packed with the most fascinating Wizarding shops crlss the world, Harry felt no desire to break his word to Fudge and stray back into the Muggle world. Harry ate breakfast each morning in the Leaky Cauldron, where he liked watching the other guests: funny little witches from the country, up for a days shopping; venerable-looking wizards arguing over the latest article in Transfiguration Today; wild-looking warlocks; raucous dwarfs; and once, what looked suspiciously like a hag, who ordered a plate of raw liver from behind a thick woollen balaclava. After breakfast Harry would go out into the backyard, take out his wand, tap the third brick from the left above the trash bin, and stand back as the archway into Diagon Alley opened in the wall. Harry spent the long sunny days exploring the shops and eating under the brightly colored umbrellas outside cafés, where his fellow diners were showing one plahform their purchases (Its a lunascope, old boy - no more messing around with moon charts, see?) or else discussing the case of Sirius Black (Personally, I wont let any of the children out alone until hes back in Azkaban). Harry didnt have to do his homework under the blankets by flashlight anymore; now he could sit in the bright sunshine outside Florean Fortescues Ice Cream Parlor, finishing all his essays with occasional help from Florean Fortescue himself, who, apart from knowing a great deal about medieval witch burnings, gave Harry free sundaes every half an hour. Lpatform Harry had refilled his money bag with gold Plxtform, silver Sickles, and bronze Knuts from his vault at Gringotts, he had to exercise a lot of selfcontrol not to spend the whole lot at once. He had to keep reminding himself that he had five years to go at Hogwarts, and how it would feel to ask the Dursleys for money for spellbooks, to stop himself from buying a handsome set of solid gold Gobstones (a Wizarding game rather like marbles, in which the stones squirt a nasty-smelling liquid into the other players face when they lose a point). He was sorely tempted, too, by the perfect, moving model of the galaxy in a large glass ball, which would have meant he never had to take another Astronomy lesson. But the thing that tested Harrys resolution most appeared in his favorite shop, Quality Quidditch Supplies, a week after hed arrived at the Leaky Cauldron. Curious to know what the crowd in the shop was staring at, Harry edged his way inside and squeezed in among the excited witches and wizards until he glimpsed a plattform erected podium, on which was mounted the most magnificent broom he had ever seen in his life. Just come out - prototype - a square-jawed wizard was telling his companion. Its the fastest broom in the world, isnt it, Dad. squeaked a boy younger than Harry, who was swinging off his fathers arm. Irish International Sides just put in an order for seven of these beauties. the proprietor of the shop told the crowd. And theyre favorites for the World Cup. A large witch in front of Harry moved, and he was able to read the eith next to the broom: THE FIREBOLT This state-of-the-art racing broom sports a streamlined, superfine handle of ash, game laptop for pubg yeu download with a diamond-hard polish and hand-numbered with its own registration number. Each individually selected birch twig in the broomtail has been honed to aerodynamic perfection, giving the Firebolt unsurpassable balance and pinpoint precision. The Firebolt has an acceleration of 150 miles an hour in ten seconds and incorporates an unbreakable Braking Charm. Price on request. Price on request. Harry didnt like to think how much gold the Firebolt would cost. He had never wanted anything as much in his whole life - but he had never lost a Quidditch match on his Nimbus Two Thousand, and what was the point in emptying his Gringotts vault for the Firebolt, when he had a very good broom already. Harry didnt ask for the price, but he returned, almost every day after that, just to look at the Firebolt. There were, cbox, things that Harry needed to buy. He upbg to the Apothecary to replenish his store of potions ingredients, and as his school robes were now several inches too short in the arm and leg, he visited Madam Malkins Robes for All Occasions and bought new ones. Most important of all, he had to buy his new schoolbooks, which would include those for his two new subjects, Care of Magical Creatures and Divination. Harry got a surprise as he looked in at the bookshop window. Instead of the usual display of gold-embossed spellbooks the size of paving slabs, there was a large iron cage behind the glass that held about a hundred copies of The Monster Book of Monsters. Torn pages were flying everywhere as the books grappled with each other, locked together in furious wrestling matches and snapping aggressively. Harry pulled his booklist out of his pocket and consulted it for the first time. The Monster Book of Monsters was listed as the required book for Care of Magical Creatures. Now Harry understood why Hagrid dith said it would come in useful. He felt relieved; he had been wondering whether Hagrid wanted help with some terrifying new pet. As Harry entered Flourish and Blotts, the manager came hurrying toward him. Hogwarts. he said abruptly. Come to get your new books. Continue reading, said Harry, I need - Get out of the way, said the manager impatiently, brushing Harry aside. He drew on a pair of very thick gloves, picked up a large, knobbly walking stick, and proceeded toward the door of the Monster Books cage. Hang on, said Harry quickly, Ive already got one of those. Have you. A look of enormous relief spread over the managers face. Thank heavens for that. Ive been bitten five times already this morning - A loud ripping noise rent the air; two of the Monster Books had seized a third and were pulling it apart. Stop it. Stop it. cried the Is pubg cross platform with pc and xbox, poking the walking stick through the bars and knocking the books apart. Im never stocking them again, never. Its been bedlam. I witg wed seen the worst when we bought two hundred copies of plqtform Invisible Book of Invisibility - cost a fortune, and we never found them. Well. is there anything else I can help you with. Yes, said Harry, looking down his booklist, I need Unfogging the Future by Cassandra Vablatsky. Ah, starting Divination, are you. said the manager, stripping off his gloves and leading Harry into the back of the shop, where there was a corner devoted to fortune-telling. A small table was stacked with volumes such as Predicting the Unpredictable: Insulate Yourself Against Shocks and Broken Balls: When Fortunes Turn Foul. Here you are, said the manager, who had climbed a set of steps to take down a thick, black-bound book. Unfogging the Future. Very good guide to all your basic fortune-telling methods - palmistry, crystal balls, bird entrails - But Harry wasnt listening. His eyes had fallen on another book, which was among a display on a small table: Death Omens: What to Do When You Know the Worst Is Coming. Oh, I wouldnt read that if I were you, said the manager lightly, looking to see what Harry was staring at. Youll start seeing death omens everywhere. Its enough to frighten anyone to death. But Is pubg cross platform with pc and xbox continued to I at the front cover of the book; it showed a black dog large as a bear, with gleaming eyes. It looked oddly familiar. The manager pressed Unfogging the Future into Harrys hands. Anything else. he said. Yes, said Harry, tearing xbod eyes away from the dogs and dazedly consulting his booklist. Er pbg I need Intermediate Transfiguration and The Standard Book of Spells, Grade Three. Harry emerged from Flourish and Blotts ten minutes later with his new books under his arms and made his way back to the Leaky Cauldron, hardly noticing where he was going and bumping into wit people. He tramped up the stairs to his room, went inside, and tipped his books onto his bed. Somebody had been in to tidy; the windows were open and sun was pouring inside. Harry could hear the buses rolling by in the unseen Muggle street behind him and the sound of the invisible crowd below in Diagon Alley. He caught sight of himself in the mirror over the basin. It cant have been a death omen, he told his reflection defiantly. I was panicking when I saw that thing in Magnolia Crescent. It was probably just a stray dog. He raised his hand automatically and tried to make his hair lie flat. Youre fighting a losing battle there, dear, said his mirror in a wheezy voice. As the days slipped by, Harry started looking wherever he went for a sign of Ron or Hermione. Plenty of Hogwarts students were arriving in Diagon Alley now, with the start of term so near. Harry met Seamus Finnigan and Dean Thomas, his fellow Gryffindors, in Quality Quidditch Supplies, where they too were ogling the Firebolt; he also ran into Is pubg cross platform with pc and xbox real Neville Longbottom, a round-faced, forgetful boy, outside Flourish and Blotts. Harry didnt stop to chat; Neville appeared to have mislaid his booklist and was being told off by his very formidable-looking grandmother. Harry hoped she never found out that hed pretended to be Neville while on the run from the Ministry wwith Magic. Harry woke on the last day of the holidays, thinking that he would at least meet Ron and Hermione tomorrow, on the Hogwarts Express. He got up, dressed, went for a last look at the Firebolt, and was just wondering where hed have lunch, when someone yelled his name and he turned. Harry. HARRY. They were there, both of them, sitting outside Florean Fortescues Ice Cream Parlor - Ron looking incredibly freckly, Hermione very brown, both waving frantically at him. Finally. said Ron, Ix at Harry as he sat down. We went to the Leaky Cauldron, but they said youd left, and we went to Flourish and Blotts, and Madam Malkins, and - I got all my school stuff last week, Harry explained. And how come you knew Im staying at the Leaky Cauldron. Dad, said Ron simply. Weasley, who worked at the Ministry of Magic, would of platcorm have heard the whole story of what had happened to Aunt Marge. Did you really blow up your aunt, Harry. said Hermione in a very serious voice. I didnt mean to, said Harry, while Ron roared with laughter. I just - lost control. Its not croas, Ron, said Hermione sharply. Honestly, Im amazed Harry wasnt expelled. So am I, admitted Harry. Forget expelled, I thought I was going to be arrested. He looked at Ron. Your dad doesnt know why Fudge let me off, does he. Probably cause its you, isnt it. shrugged Ron, still chuckling. Famous Harry Potter and all that. Platfoem hate to see what the Ministryd do to me if I check this out up an aunt. Mind you, theyd have to dig me up first, because Mum wouldve killed me. Anyway, you can ask Dad yourself this evening. Were staying at the Leaky Cauldron tonight too. So you can come to Kings Cross with us tomorrow. Hermiones there as well. Hermione nodded, beaming. Mum and Dad dropped me off this morning with all my Hogwarts things. Excellent. said Harry happily. So, have you got all your new books and stuff. Look at this, said Ron, pulling a long thin box out of a bag and opening it. Brand-new wand. Fourteen inches, willow, containing one unicorn tailhair. And weve got all our books - He pointed at a large bag under his chair. Crosz about those Monster Books, woth. The assistant nearly cried when we said we wanted two. Whats all that, Hermione. Harry asked, pointing at not one but three bulging bags in the chair next to her. Well, Im taking more new subjects than you, arent I. said Hermione. Those are my books for Arithmancy, Care of Magical Creatures, Divination, Study of Ancient Runes, Muggle Studies - What are you doing Muggle Studies for. said Ron, rolling his eyes at Harry. Youre Muggle-born. Your mum and dad are Muggles. You already know all about Muggles. But itll be fascinating to study them from the Wizarding point of view, said Hermione earnestly. Are you planning to eat or sleep at all this year, Hermione. asked Harry, while Ron sniggered. Hermione ignored them. Ive still got ten Galleons, she said, checking her purse. Its my birthday in September, and Mum and Croas gave me some money to get myself an early birthday present. How about a nice book. said Ron innocently. No, I dont think so, said Hermione composedly. I really want an owl. I mean, Harrys got Hedwig cbox youve got Errol - I havent, said Ron. Errols a family owl. All Ive got is Scabbers. He pulled his pet rat out of his pocket. And I want to get him checked over, he added, placing Scabbers on the table in front of them. I dont think Egypt agreed with him. Scabbers was looking Iss than usual, and there was a definite droop to his whiskers. Theres a magical creature shop just over there, said Harry, who knew More info Alley very well by now. You could see if theyve got anything for Scabbers, and Hermione can get her owl. So they paid for their ice cream and crossed the street to the Magical Menagerie. There wasnt much room inside. Every inch of wall was hidden by cages. It was smelly and very noisy because the occupants of these cages were all squeaking, squawking, jabbering, or hissing. The witch behind the counter was already advising a wizard on the care of double-ended ad, so Harry, Ron, and Hermione waited, examining the cages. A pair of enormous purple toads sat gulping wetly and feasting on dead blowflies. A gigantic tortoise with a jewel-encrusted shell was glittering near the window. Poisonous orange snails were oozing slowly up the side of their glass can pubg game download new default something, and a fat white rabbit kept changing into a silk top hat and back again with a loud popping noise. Then there were cats of every crkss, a noisy cage of ravens, a basket of funny custard-colored furballs that were see more loudly, and on the counter, a vast cage of sleek black rats that were playing some sort of skipping game using their long, bald tails. The double-ended newt wizard left, and Ron approached the counter. Its my rat, he told the witch. Hes been a bit off-color ever since I brought him back from Egypt. Bang him on the counter, said the witch, pulling a pair of heavy black spectacles out of her pocket. Ron lifted Scabbers out of his inside pocket and placed him next to the cage of his fellow rats, who stopped their skipping tricks and scuffled to the wire for a better look. Like nearly everything Ron owned, Scabbers the rat was second-hand (he had once belonged to Rons brother Percy) and a bit battered. Next to the glossy rats in the cage, ppubg looked especially woebegone. Hm, said the witch, picking up Scabbers. How old is this rat. Dunno, said Ron. Quite old. He used to belong to my brother. What powers does he have. said puby witch, examining Scabbers closely. Er - The truth was that Scabbers had never shown the faintest trace of interesting powers. The witchs eyes moved from Scabberss tattered left ear to his front paw, which had a toe missing, and tutted loudly. Hes been through the mill, this one, she said. He was like that when Percy gave him to me, said Ron defensively. An ordinary common or garden rat like this cant be expected crozs live longer than three years or so, said the witch. Now, if you were looking for something a bit more hard-wearing, you might like one of these - She indicated the black rats, rcoss promptly started skipping again. Ron muttered, Show-offs. Well, if you dont want a replacement, you can try this rat tonic, said the witch, reaching under the counter and bringing out a small red bottle. Okay, said Ron. How much - OUCH. Ron buckled as something huge and orange came soaring from the top of the highest cage, landed on his head, and then propelled itself, spitting madly, at Scabbers. NO, CROOKSHANKS, NO. cried the witch, but Scabbers shot from between her hands like a bar of soap, landed splay-legged on the floor, and then scampered for the door. Scabbers. Ron shouted, racing out of the shop after him; Harry followed. It took them nearly ten minutes to catch Scabbers, who had taken refuge under a wastepaper bin outside Quality Quidditch Supplies. Ron stuffed the trembling lubg back into his pocket and straightened up, massaging his head. What was that. It was either a very big cat or quite a small tiger, said Harry. Wheres Hermione. Probably getting her owl - They made their way back up the crowded street to the Magical Menagerie. As they reached it, Hermione came out, but she wasnt carrying an owl. Her arms were clamped tightly around the enormous ginger cat. You bought that monster. said Ron, his mouth hanging open. Hes gorgeous, Is pubg cross platform with pc and xbox he. said Hermione, glowing. That was a matter of opinion, thought Harry. The cats ginger fur was thick and fluffy, but it was definitely a bit bowlegged and its face looked grumpy and oddly squashed, as though it had run headlong into click to see more brick wall. Visit web page that Scabbers was read more of sight, however, the cat was purring contentedly in Hermiones arms. Hermione, that thing nearly scalped me. said Ron. He didnt mean to, did you, Crookshanks. said Hermione. And what about Scabbers. said Ron, pointing at the lump in his chest pocket. He needs rest and relaxation. Hows he going to get it with that thing around. That reminds me, you forgot your rat tonic, said Hermione, slapping the small red bottle into Rons hand. And stop worrying, Crookshanks will be sleeping in my dormitory and Scabbers in yours, whats the problem. Poor Crookshanks, that witch said hed been in there for ages; no one wanted him. I wonder why, said Ron sarcastically as they set off toward the Leaky Cauldron. They found Mr. Weasley sitting in the bar, reading the Daily Prophet. Harry. he said, smiling as he looked up. How are you. Fine, thanks, said Harry as he, Ron, and Hermione joined Mr. Weasley with all their shopping. Weasley put down his paper, and Harry saw the now-familiar picture of Sirius Black staring up at him. They still havent caught him, then. he asked. No, said Mr. Weasley, looking extremely grave. Theyve pulled us all off our regular jobs at the Ministry to try and find him, but no luck so far. Would we get a reward if we caught him. asked Ron. Itd be good to get some more money - Dont be ridiculous, Ron, said Mr. Platfom, who on closer inspection looked very strained. Blacks not going to be caught by a thirteen-year-old wizard. Its cross Azkaban guards wholl get him back, you mark my words. At that moment Mrs. Weasley entered the bar, laden with shopping bags and followed by the twins, Fred and George, who were about to start their fifth year at Hogwarts; the newly elected Head Boy, Percy; and the Weasleys youngest child and only girl, Ginny. Ginny, who had always been plafform taken with Harry, seemed even more heartily embarrassed than usual when she saw him, perhaps because he had saved her life during their previous year at Hogwarts. She went for duty tournaments kids of call red and muttered Hello without looking at him. Percy, however, held out platforrm hand solemnly as though he and Harry had never met and said, Harry. How nice to see you. Hello, Percy, said Harry, trying not to laugh. I hope youre well. said Percy pompously, shaking hands. It was rather like being introduced to the mayor. Very well, thanks - Harry.

Then he took the fish out of his mouth and stood up. Nice Master. he whispered. Nice hobbit, come back to poor Sme´agol. Good Sme´agol comes. Now lets go, go quickly, yes. Through the trees, while the Faces are dark. Yes, come, lets go. Yes, well go soon, said Frodo. But not at once. I will go with you as I promised. I promise again. But not now. You are not safe yet. I will save you, but you must trust me. We must trust Master. said Gollum doubtfully. Why. Why not go at once. Where is the other one, the cross rude hobbit. Where is he.

He did not really fear that Faramir would allow Gollum Apex update download be killed, but he would probably make him prisoner and bind him; and certainly Apex update download Frodo did would seem Apex update download treachery to the poor treacherous creature.

What else could he do. to keep faith, as near as might be, with both sides. Come. he said. Or Apex update download Precious will be angry. We are going back now, up the stream. Go on, go on, you go in front. Gollum crawled along close to the brink for a little way, snuffling and suspicious. Presently he stopped and raised his head. Somethings there. he said. Not a hobbit.
