No - Im alone - but Im different - I look older - and Im Head Boy. What. I am - Im wearing the badge like Bill used to - and Im holding the House Cup and the Quidditch Cup - Im Quidditch captain, too. Ron tore his eyes away from this splendid sight to look excitedly at Harry. Do you think this mirror shows the future. How can it. All my family are dead - let me have another look - You had it to yourself all last night, give me a bit more time. Youre only holding the Quidditch Cup, whats interesting about that. I want to see my parents. Dont push me - A sudden noise outside in the corridor put an end to their discussion. They hadnt realized how loudly they had been talking. Quick. Ron threw the Cloak back over them as the luminous eyes of Mrs. Norris came round the door. Ron and Harry stood quite still, both thinking the same thing - did the Cloak work on cats. After what seemed an age, she turned and left. This isnt safe - she might have gone for Filch, I bet she heard us. Come on. And Ron pulled Harry out of the room. The snow still hadnt melted the next morning. Want to play chess, Harry. said Ron. Why dont we go down and visit Hagrid. No. you go. I know what youre thinking about, Harry, that mirror. Dont go back tonight. Why not. I dunno, Ive just got a bad feeling about it Pc xbox r6 crossplay and anyway, youve had too many close shaves already. Filch, Snape, and Mrs. Norris are wandering around. So what if they cant see you. What if they walk into you. What if you knock something over. You sound like Hermione. Im serious, Harry, dont go. But Harry only had one thought in his head, which was to get back in front of the mirror, and Ron wasnt going to stop him. That third night he found his way more quickly than before. He was walking so fast he knew he was making more noise than was wise, but he didnt meet anyone. And there were his mother and father smiling at him again, and one of his grandfathers nodding happily. Harry sank down to sit on the floor in front of the mirror. There was nothing to stop him from staying here all night with his family. Nothing at all. Except - So - back again, Harry. Harry felt as though his insides had turned to ice. He looked behind him. Sitting on one of the desks by the wall was none other than Albus Dumbledore. Harry must have walked straight past him, so desperate to get to the mirror he hadnt noticed him. I - I didnt see you, sir. Strange how nearsighted being invisible can make you, said Dumbledore, and Harry was relieved to see that he was smiling. So, said Dumbledore, slipping off the desk to sit on the floor with Harry, you, like hundreds before you, have discovered the delights of the Mirror of Erised. I didnt know it was called that, sir. But I expect youve realized by now what it does. It - well - it shows me my family - And it showed your friend Ron himself as Head Boy. How did you know -. I dont need a cloak to become invisible, said Dumbledore gently. Now, can you think what the Mirror of Erised shows us all. Harry shook his head. Let me explain. The happiest man on earth would be able to use the Mirror of Erised like a normal mirror, that is, he would look into it and see himself exactly as he is. Does that help. Harry thought. Then he said slowly, It shows us what we want. whatever we want. Yes and no, said Dumbledore quietly. It shows us nothing more or less than the deepest, most desperate desire of our hearts. You, who have never known your family, see them standing around you. Ronald Weasley, who has always been overshadowed by his brothers, sees himself standing alone, the best of all of them. 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, you 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. Harry 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 read article 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 click 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 baldurs gate 3 kingdom 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. Snapes 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 to 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 team hung back to talk to one another as usual at the end of practice, but Harry headed straight back to the Gryffindor click to see more 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 Pc xbox r6 crossplay concen - He caught sight of Harrys face. Whats the matter with you. You look terrible. 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 play, said Hermione at once. Say youre ill, said Ron. Pretend to break your leg, Hermione suggested. Really break your leg, said Ron. I cant, 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 he 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 call of duty mw3 unlock tools 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 Chocolate 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 the back of the card. Then he looked up at Ron and Hermione. Ive found him. he whispered. Ive found Flamel. I told you Id read the name somewhere before, I read it on the train coming here - listen to this: Dumbledore 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. This didnt have quite just click for source 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: Pc xbox r6 crossplay 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 centuries, 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 Flamels Sorcerers Stone. I bet he asked Dumbledore to keep it safe for him, because theyre friends and he knew someone was after it, thats why he wanted the Stone moved out of Gringotts. A stone that makes gold and stops you from ever dying. said Harry.

Frodo, I think you do very unwisely in this, said Faramir. I do not think you should go with this creature. It is wicked. No, not altogether wicked, said Frodo. Not wholly, perhaps, said Faramir; but malice eats it like a canker, and the evil is growing. He will lead you to no good. If you will part with him, I will give him safe-conduct and guidance to any point on the borders of Gondor that he may name. He would not take it, said Frodo. He would follow after me as he long has done. And I have promised many times to take him under my protection and to go where he led. You would not ask me to break faith with him. No, said Faramir. But my heart would. For it seems less evil to counsel another man to break troth than to do so oneself, especially 692 T HE L ORD O F THE R INGS if one sees a friend bound unwitting to his own harm. But no if he will go with you, you must now endure him. But I do not think you are holden to go to Cirith Ungol, of which he has told you less than he knows. That much I perceived clearly in his mind. Do not go to Cirith Ungol. Where then shall I go. said Frodo. Back to the Black Gate and deliver myself up to the guard. What do you know against this place that Какой версии counter strike не существует its name so dreadful. Nothing certain, said Faramir. We of Gondor do not ever pass east of the Road in these days, and none of us younger men has ever done so, nor has any of us set foot upon the Mountains of Shadow. Какой версии counter strike не существует them we know only old report and the rumour of bygone days. But there is some dark terror that dwells in the passes above Minas Morgul. If Cirith Ungol is named, old men and masters of lore will blanch and fall silent. The valley of Minas Morgul passed into evil very long ago, and it was a menace and a dread while the banished Enemy dwelt yet far away, and Ithilien was still for the most part in our keeping. As you know, that Какой версии counter strike не существует was once a strong place, proud and fair, Minas Ithil, the twin sister of our own city. But it was taken by fell men whom the Enemy in his first strength had dominated, and who wandered homeless and masterless after his fall. It is said that their lords were men of Nu´menor who had fallen into dark wickedness; to them the Enemy had given rings of power, and he had devoured them: living ghosts they were become, terrible and evil. After his going they took Minas Ithil and dwelt there, and they filled it, and all the valley about, with decay: it seemed empty and was not so, for a shapeless fear lived within the ruined walls. Nine Lords there were, and after the return of their Master, which they aided and prepared in secret, they grew strong again. Then the Nine Riders issued forth from the gates of horror, and we could not withstand them. Do not approach their citadel. You will be espied. It is a place of sleepless malice, full of lidless eyes. Do not go that way. But where else will you direct me. said Frodo. You cannot yourself, you say, guide me to the mountains, nor over them. But over the mountains I am bound, by solemn undertaking to the Council, to find a way or perish in the seeking. And if I turn back, refusing the road in its bitter end, where then shall I go among Elves or Men. Would you have me come to Gondor with this Thing, the Thing that drove your brother mad with desire. What spell would it work in Minas Tirith. Shall there be two cities of Minas Morgul, grinning at each other across a dead land filled with rottenness. I would Какой версии counter strike не существует have it so, said Faramir. Then what would you have me do. Here HE F ORBI DDEN P O O L 693 I know not. Only I would not have you go to death or to torment. And I do not think that Mithrandir would have chosen this way. Yet since he is gone, I must take such paths as I can find. And there is no time for long searching, said Frodo. It is a hard doom and a hopeless errand, said Faramir. But at the least, remember my warning: beware of this guide, Sme´agol. He has done murder before now. I read it in him. He sighed. Well, so we meet and part, Frodo son of Drogo. You have no need of soft words: I do call of warzone account hope to see you again on any other day under this Sun. But you shall go now with my blessing upon you, and upon all your people. Rest a little while food is prepared for you. I would gladly learn how this creeping Sme´agol became possessed of the Thing of which we speak, and how he lost it, but I will not trouble you now. If ever beyond hope you return to the lands of the living and we re-tell our tales, sitting by a wall in the sun, laughing at old grief, you shall tell me then. Until that time, or some other time beyond the vision of the Seeing-stones of Nu´menor, farewell. He rose and bowed low to Frodo, and drawing the curtain passed out into the cave. Chapter 7 JOURNEY T O THE CROSS-ROADS Frodo and Sam returned to their beds and lay there in silence resting for a little, click here men bestirred themselves and the business of the day began. After a while water was brought to them, and then they were led to a table where food was set for three. Faramir broke his fast with them. He had not slept since the battle on the day before, yet he did not look weary. When they had finished they stood up. May no hunger trouble you on the road, said Faramir. You have little provision, but some small store of food fit for travellers I have ordered to be stowed in your packs. You will have no lack of water as you walk in Ithilien, but do not drink of any stream that flows from Imlad Morgul, the Valley of Living Death. Learn more here also I must tell you. My scouts and watchers have all returned, even some that have crept within sight of the Morannon. They all find a strange thing. The land is empty. Nothing is on the road, and no sound of foot, or horn, or bowstring is anywhere to be heard. A waiting silence broods above the Nameless Land. I do not know what this portends. But the time draws swiftly to some great conclusion. Storm is coming. Hasten while you may. If you are ready, let us go. The Sun will soon rise above the shadow. The hobbits packs were brought to them (a little heavier than they had been), and also two stout staves of polished wood, shod with iron, and with carven heads through which ran plaited leathern thongs. I have no fitting gifts to give you at our parting, said Faramir; but take these staves. They may be of service to those who walk or climb in the wild. The men of the White Mountains use them; though these have been cut down to your height and newly shod. They are made of the fair tree lebethron, beloved of the woodwrights of Gondor, and a virtue has been set upon them of finding and returning. May that virtue not wholly fail under the Shadow into which you go. The hobbits bowed low. Most gracious host, said Frodo, it was said to me by Elrond Halfelven that I should find friendship upon the way, secret and unlooked for. Certainly I looked for no such friendship as you have shown. To have found it turns evil to great good.
