Her bemused eyes traveled from the huge form of the dead basilisk, over Harry, in his blood-soaked robes, then to the diary in his hand. She drew a great, shuddering gasp and tears began to pour down her face. Harry - oh, Harry - I tried to tell you at b-breakfast, but I c-couldnt say it in front of Percy - it was me, Harry - but I - I s-swear I d-didnt mean to - R-Riddle made me, he t-took me over - and - how did you kill that - that thing. W-wheres Riddle. The last thing I r-remember is him coming out of the diary - Its all right, said Harry, holding up the diary, and showing Ginny the fang hole, Riddles finished. Look. Him and the basilisk. Cmon, Ginny, lets get out of here - Im going to be expelled. Ginny wept as Harry helped her awkwardly to her feet. Ive looked forward to coming to Hogwarts ever since B-Bill came and n-now Ill have to leave and - w-whatll Mum and Dad say. Fawkes was waiting for them, hovering in the Chamber entrance. Harry urged Ginny forward; they stepped over the motionless coils of the dead basilisk, through the echoing gloom, and back into the tunnel. Harry heard the stone doors close behind them with a soft hiss. After a few minutes progress up the dark tunnel, a distant sound of slowly shifting rock reached Harrys ears. Ron. Harry yelled, speeding up. Ginnys okay. Ive got her. He heard Ron give a strangled cheer, and they turned the next bend to see his eager face staring through the sizable gap he had managed to make in the rockfall. Ginny. Ron thrust an arm through the gap in the rock to pull her through first. Youre alive. I dont believe it. What happened. How - what - where did that bird come from. Fawkes had swooped through the gap after Ginny. Hes Dumbledores, said Harry, squeezing through himself. How come youve got a sword. said Ron, gaping at the glittering weapon in Harrys hand. Ill explain when we get out of here, said Harry with a sideways glance at Ginny, who was crying harder than ever. But - Later, Harry said shortly. He didnt think it was a good idea to tell Ron yet whod been opening the Chamber, not in front of Ginny, anyway. Wheres Lockhart. Back there, said Ron, still looking puzzled but jerking his head up the tunnel toward the pipe. Hes in a bad way. Come and see. Led by Fawkes, whose wide scarlet wings emitted a soft golden glow in the darkness, they walked all the way back to the mouth of the pipe. Gilderoy Lockhart was sitting there, humming placidly to himself. His just click for source gone, said Ron. The Memory Charm backfired. Hit him instead of us. Hasnt got a clue who he is, or where he is, or who we are. I told him to come and wait here. Hes a danger to himself. Lockhart peered good-naturedly up at them all. Hello, he said. Odd sort of place, this, isnt it. Do you live here. No, said Ron, raising his eyebrows at Harry. Harry bent down and looked up the long, dark pipe. Have you thought how were going to get back up this. he said to Ron. Ron shook his head, but Fawkes the phoenix had swooped past Harry and was now fluttering in front of him, his beady eyes bright in the dark. He was waving his long golden tail feathers. Harry looked uncertainly at him. He looks like he wants you to grab hold. said Ron, looking perplexed. But youre much too heavy for a bird to pull up there - Fawkes, said Harry, isnt an ordinary bird. He turned quickly to the others. Weve got to hold on to each other. Ginny, grab Rons hand. Professor Lockhart - He means you, said Ron sharply to Lockhart. You hold Ginnys other hand - Harry tucked the sword and the Sorting Hat into his belt, Ron took hold of the back of Harrys robes, and Harry reached out and took hold of Fawkess strangely hot tail feathers. An extraordinary lightness seemed to spread through his whole body and the next second, in a rush of wings, they were flying upward through the pipe. Harry could hear Lockhart dangling below him, saying, Amazing. Amazing. This is just like magic. The chill air was whipping through Harrys read more, and before hed stopped enjoying the ride, it was over - all four of them were hitting the wet floor of Moaning Myrtles bathroom, and as Lockhart straightened his hat, the sink that hid the pipe was sliding back into place. Myrtle goggled at them. Youre alive, she said blankly to Harry. Theres no need to sound so disappointed, he said grimly, wiping flecks of blood and slime off his glasses. Oh, well. Id just been thinking. if you had died, youd have been welcome to share my toilet, said Myrtle, blushing silver. Urgh. said Ron as they left the bathroom for the dark, deserted corridor outside. Harry. I think Myrtles grown fond of you. Youve got competition, Ginny. But tears were still flooding silently down Ginnys face. Where now. said Ron, with an anxious look at Ginny. Harry pointed. Fawkes was leading the way, glowing gold along the corridor. They strode after him, and moments later, found themselves outside Professor McGonagalls office. Harry knocked and pushed the door open. F CHAPTER EIGHTEEN DOBBYS REWARD or a moment there was silence as Harry, Ron, Ginny, and Lockhart stood in the doorway, covered in muck and slime and (in Harrys case) blood. Then there was a scream. Ginny. It was Mrs. Weasley, who had been check this out crying in front of the fire. She leapt to her feet, closely followed by Mr. Weasley, and pubg game kise kheli jati ha free of them flung themselves on their daughter. Harry, however, was looking past them. Professor Dumbledore was standing by the mantelpiece, beaming, next to Professor McGonagall, who was taking great, steadying gasps, clutching her chest. Fawkes went whooshing past Harrys ear and settled on Dumbledores shoulder, just as Harry found himself and Ron being swept into Mrs. Weasleys tight embrace. You saved her. You saved her. How did you do it. I think wed all like to know that, said Professor McGonagall weakly. Mrs. Weasley let go of Harry, who hesitated for a moment, then walked over to the desk and laid upon it the Sorting Hat, the ruby-encrusted sword, and what remained of Riddles diary. Then he started telling them everything. For nearly a quarter of an hour he spoke into the rapt silence: He told them about hearing the disembodied voice, how Hermione had finally realized that he was hearing a basilisk in the pipes; how he and Ron had followed the spiders into the forest, that Aragog had told them where the last victim of the basilisk had died; how he had guessed that Baldurs gate inquisitor quotes Myrtle had been the victim, and that the entrance to the Chamber of Secrets might be in her bathroom. Very well, Professor McGonagall prompted him as he paused, so you found out where the entrance was - breaking a hundred school rules into pieces along the way, I might add - but how on earth did you all get out of there alive, Potter. So Harry, his voice now growing hoarse from all this talking, told them about Fawkess timely arrival and about the Sorting Hat giving him the sword. But then he faltered. He had so far avoided mentioning Riddles diary - or Ginny. She was standing with her head against Mrs. Weasleys shoulder, and tears were still coursing silently down her cheeks. What if they expelled her. Harry thought in panic. Riddles diary didnt work anymore. How could they prove it had been he whod made her do it all. Instinctively, Harry looked at Dumbledore, who smiled faintly, the firelight glancing off his half-moon spectacles. What interests me most, said Dumbledore gently, is click to see more Lord Voldemort managed to enchant Ginny, when my sources tell me he is currently in hiding in the forests of Albania. Relief - warm, sweeping, glorious relief - swept over Harry. W-whats that. said Mr. Weasley in a stunned voice. You-Know-Who. En-enchant Ginny. But Ginnys not. Ginny hasnt been. has she. Baldurs gate inquisitor quotes was this diary, said Harry quickly, picking it up and showing it to Dumbledore. Riddle wrote it when he was sixteen. Dumbledore took the diary from Harry and peered keenly down his long, crooked nose at its burnt and soggy pages. Brilliant, he said softly. Of course, he was probably the most brilliant student Hogwarts has ever seen. He turned around to the Weasleys, who were looking utterly bewildered. Very few people know that Lord Voldemort was once called Tom Riddle. I taught him myself, fifty years ago, at Hogwarts. He disappeared after leaving the school. traveled far and wide. sank so deeply into the Dark Arts, consorted with the very worst of our kind, underwent so many dangerous, magical transformations, that when he resurfaced as Lord Voldemort, he was barely recognizable. Hardly anyone connected Lord Voldemort with the clever, handsome boy who was once Head Boy here. But, Ginny, said Mrs. Weasley. Whats our Ginny got to do with - with - him. His d-diary. Ginny sobbed. Ive b-been writing in it, and hes been link back all year - Ginny. said Mr. Weasley, flabbergasted. Havent I taught you anything. What have I always told you. Never trust anything that can think for itself if you cant see where it keeps its brain. Why didnt you show the diary to me, or your mother. A suspicious object like that, it was clearly full of Dark Magic - I d-didnt know, sobbed Ginny. I found it inside one of the books Mum got me. I th-thought someone Baldurs gate inquisitor quotes just left it in there and forgotten about it - Miss Weasley should go up to the hospital wing right away, Dumbledore interrupted in a firm voice. This has been a terrible ordeal for her. There will be no punishment. Older and wiser wizards than she have been hoodwinked by Lord Voldemort. He strode over to the door and opened it. Bed rest and perhaps a large, steaming mug of hot chocolate. I always find that cheers me up, he added, twinkling kindly down at her. You will find that Madam Pomfrey is still awake. Shes just giving out Mandrake juice - I daresay the basilisks victims will be waking up any moment. So Hermiones okay. said Ron brightly. There has been no lasting harm done, Ginny, said Dumbledore. Mrs. Weasley led Ginny out, and Mr. Weasley followed, still looking deeply shaken. You know, Minerva, Professor Dumbledore said thoughtfully to Professor McGonagall, I think all this merits a good feast. Might I ask you to go and alert the kitchens. Right, said Professor McGonagall crisply, also moving to the door. Ill leave you to deal with Potter and Weasley, shall I. Certainly, said Dumbledore. She left, and Harry and Ron gazed uncertainly at Dumbledore. What exactly had Professor McGonagall meant, deal with them. Surely - surely - they werent about to be punished. I seem to remember telling you both that I would have to expel you if you broke any more school rules, said Dumbledore. Ron opened his mouth in horror. Which goes to show that the best of us must sometimes eat our words, Dumbledore went on, smiling. You will both receive Special Awards for Services to the School and - let me see - yes, I think two hundred points apiece for Gryffindor. Ron went as brightly pink as Lockharts valentine flowers and closed his mouth again. But one of us seems to be keeping mightily quiet about his part in this dangerous adventure, Dumbledore added. Why so modest, Gilderoy. Harry gave a start. He had completely forgotten about Lockhart. He turned and saw that Lockhart was standing in a corner of the room, still wearing his vague smile. When Dumbledore addressed him, Lockhart looked over his shoulder to see who he was talking to. Professor Dumbledore, Ron said quickly, there was an accident down in the Chamber of Secrets. Professor Lockhart - Am I a professor. said Lockhart in mild surprise. Goodness. I expect I was hopeless, was I. He tried to do a Memory Charm and the wand backfired, Ron explained quietly to Dumbledore. Dear me, said Dumbledore, shaking his head, his long silver mustache quivering. Impaled upon your own sword, Gilderoy. Sword. said Lockhart dimly. Havent got a sword. That boy has, though. He pointed at Harry. Hell lend you one. Would you mind taking Professor Games pc sissy for up to the infirmary, too. Dumbledore said to Ron. Id like a few more words with Harry. Lockhart ambled out. Ron cast a curious look back at Dumbledore and Harry as he closed the door. Dumbledore crossed to one of the chairs by the fire. Sit down, Harry, he said, and Harry sat, feeling unaccountably nervous. First of all, Harry, I want to thank you, said Dumbledore, eyes twinkling again. You must have shown me real loyalty down in the Chamber. Nothing but that could have called Fawkes to you. He stroked the phoenix, which had fluttered down onto his knee. Harry grinned awkwardly as Dumbledore watched him. And so source met Tom Riddle, said Dumbledore thoughtfully. I imagine he was most interested in you. Suddenly, something that was nagging at Harry came tumbling out of his mouth. Professor Dumbledore. Riddle said Im like him. Strange likenesses, he said. Did he, now. said Dumbledore, looking thoughtfully at Harry from under his thick silver eyebrows. And what do you think, Harry. I dont think Im like him. said Harry, more loudly than hed intended. I mean, Im - Im in Gryffindor, Im. But he fell silent, a lurking doubt resurfacing in his mind. Professor, he started again after a moment. The Sorting Hat told me Id - Id have done well in Slytherin. Everyone thought I was Slytherins heir for a while. because I can speak Parseltongue. You can speak Parseltongue, Harry, said Dumbledore calmly, because Lord Voldemort - who is the last remaining descendant of Salazar Slytherin - can speak Parseltongue. Unless Im much mistaken, he transferred some of his own powers to you the night he gave you that scar. Not something he intended not streamyard on youtube good do, Im sure. Voldemort put a bit please click for source himself in me. Harry said, thunderstruck. It certainly seems so. So I should be in Slytherin, Harry said, looking desperately into Dumbledores face. The Sorting Hat could see Slytherins power in me, and it - Put you in Gryffindor, said Dumbledore calmly. Listen to me, Harry. You happen to have many qualities Salazar Slytherin prized in his handpicked students. His own very rare gift, Parseltongue - resourcefulness - determination - a certain disregard for rules, he added, his mustache quivering again. Yet the Sorting Hat placed you in Gryffindor. You know why Baldurs gate inquisitor quotes was. Think. It only put me in Gryffindor, said Harry in a defeated voice, because I asked not to go in Slytherin. Exactly, said Dumbledore, beaming once more. Which makes you very different from Tom Riddle. It is our choices, Harry, that show what we truly are, far more than our abilities. Harry sat motionless in his chair, stunned. If you want proof, Harry, that you belong in Gryffindor, I suggest you look more closely at this. Dumbledore reached across to Professor McGonagalls desk, picked up the blood-stained silver sword, and handed it to Harry. Dully, Harry turned it over, the rubies blazing in the firelight. And then he saw the name engraved just below the hilt. Godric Gryffindor. Only a true Gryffindor could have pulled that out of the hat, Harry, said Dumbledore simply. For a minute, neither of them spoke. Then Dumbledore pulled open one of the drawers in Professor McGonagalls desk and took out a quill and a bottle of ink. What you need, Harry, is some food and sleep. I suggest you go down to the feast, while I write to Azkaban - we need our gamekeeper back. And I must draft an advertisement for the Daily Prophet, too, he added thoughtfully. Well be needing a new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher. Dear me, we do seem to run through them, dont we. Harry got up and crossed to the door. He had just reached for the handle, however, when the door burst open so violently that it bounced back off the wall. Lucius Malfoy stood there, fury in his face. And cowering behind his legs, heavily wrapped in bandages, was Dobby. Good evening, Lucius, said Dumbledore pleasantly. Malfoy almost knocked Harry over as he swept into the room. Dobby went scurrying in after him, crouching at the hem of his cloak, a look of abject terror on his face. The elf was carrying a stained rag with which he was attempting to finish cleaning Mr. Malfoys shoes. Apparently Mr. Malfoy had set out in a great hurry, for not only were his shoes half-polished, but his usually sleek hair was disheveled. Ignoring the elf bobbing apologetically around his ankles, he fixed his cold eyes upon Dumbledore. he said Youve come back.
Do ghouls normally wear pajamas. No, said Ron. Nor have they usually got red hair or that number of pustules. Harry contemplated the thing, slightly revolted. It was human in shape and size, and was wearing what, now apex vantage spotters lens Harrys eyes became used to the darkness, was clearly an old pair of Rons pajamas. He was also sure that ghouls were generally rather slimy and bald, rather than distinctly hairy and covered https://freestrategygames.cloud/xbox/steelseries-keyboard-warranty.php angry https://freestrategygames.cloud/apex-legends/apex-legends-latency-issues.php blisters. Hes me, see. said Ron. No, said Harry. I dont. Ill explain it back in my room, the smells getting to me, said Ron. They climbed back stem origin the ladder, which Ron returned to the ceiling, and rejoined Hermione, who was still sorting books. Once weve left, the ghouls going to come and live down here in my room, said Ron. I think hes really looking forward to it Steam spring sale hogwarts legacy well, its hard to tell, because all he can do is moan and drool - but he nods a lot when you mention it. Anyway, hes going to be me with spattergroit. Good, eh. Harry merely looked his confusion. It is. said Ron, clearly frustrated that Harry had not grasped the brilliance of the plan. Look, when learn more here three dont turn up at Hogwarts again, everyones going to think Hermione and I must be with you, right. Which means the Death Eaters will go straight for our families to see if theyve got information on where you are. But hopefully itll look like Ive gone away with Mum and Dad; a lot of Muggle-borns are talking about going into hiding at the moment, said Hermione. Steam spring sale hogwarts legacy cant hide my whole family, itll look too fishy and they cant all leave their jobs, said Ron. So were going to put out the story that Im seriously ill with spattergroit, which is why I cant go back to school. If anyone comes calling to investigate, Mum or Dad can show them the ghoul in my bed, covered in pustules. Spattergroits really contagious, so Steam spring sale hogwarts legacy not going to want to go near him. It wont matter that he cant say anything, either, because apparently you cant once the fungus has spread to your uvula. And your mum and dad are in on this plan. asked Harry. Dad is. He helped Fred and George transform the ghoul. Mum. well, youve seen what shes like. She wont accept were going till weve gone. There was silence in the room, broken only by gentle thuds as Hermione continued to throw books onto one pile or the other. Ron sat watching her, and Harry looked from one to the other, unable to say anything. The measures they had taken to protect their families made him realize, more than anything else could have done, that they really were going to come with him and that they knew exactly how dangerous that would be. He wanted to tell them what that meant to him, but he simply could not find words important enough. Through the silence came the muffled sounds of Mrs. Weasley shouting from four floors below. Ginnys probably left a speck of dust on a poxy napkin ring, said Ron. I dunno why the Delacours have got to come two days before the wedding. Fleurs sisters a bridesmaid, she needs to be here for the rehearsal, and shes too young to come on her own, said Hermione, as she pored indecisively over Break with a Banshee. Well, guests arent going to help Mums stress levels, said Ron. What we really need to decide, said Hermione, tossing Defensive Magical Theory into the bin without a second glance and picking up An Appraisal of Magical Education in Europe, is where were going after we leave here. I know you said you wanted to go to Godrics Hollow first, Harry, and I understand why, but. well. shouldnt we make the Horcruxes our priority. If we knew where any of the Horcruxes were, Id agree with you, said Harry, who did not believe that Hermione really understood his desire to return to Godrics Hollow. His parents graves were only part of the attraction: He had a strong, though inexplicable, feeling that the place held answers for him. Perhaps it was simply because it was there that he had survived Voldemorts Killing Curse; now that he was facing the challenge of repeating the feat, Harry was drawn to the place where it had happened, wanting to understand. Dont you think theres a possibility that Voldemorts keeping a watch on Godrics Hollow. Hermione asked. He might expect you to go back and visit your parents graves once youre free to go wherever you like. This had not occurred to Harry. While he struggled to find a counterargument, Ron spoke up, evidently following his own train of thought. This R. person, he said. You know, the one who stole the real locket. Hermione nodded. He said in his note he was going to destroy it, didnt he. Steam spring sale hogwarts legacy dragged his rucksack toward him and pulled out https://freestrategygames.cloud/baldurs-gate/baldurs-gate-jalantha-mistmyr-zoo.php fake Horcrux in which R. s note was still folded. I have stolen the real Horcrux and intend to destroy it as soon as I can, Harry read out. Well, what if he did finish it off. said Ron. Or she, interposed Hermione. Whichever, said Ron, itd be one less for us to do. Yes, but were still going to have to try and trace the real locket, arent we. said Hermione, to find out whether or not its destroyed. And once we get hold of it, how do you destroy a Horcrux. asked Ron. Well, said Hermione, Ive been researching that. How. asked Harry. I didnt think there were any books on Horcruxes in the library. There werent, said Hermione, who had turned pink. Dumbledore removed them all, but he - he didnt destroy them. Ron sat up straight, wide-eyed. How in the name of Merlins pants have you managed to get your hands on those Horcrux books. It - it wasnt stealing. said Hermione, looking from Harry to Ron with a kind of desperation. They were still library books, even if Dumbledore had taken them off the shelves. Anyway, if he really didnt want anyone to get at them, Im sure he would have made it much harder to - Get to the point. said Ron. Well. it was easy, said Hermione in a small voice. I just did a Summoning Charm. You know - Accio. And - they zoomed out of Dumbledores study agree, pubg gameloop indir mp3 share right into the girls dormitory. But when did you do this. Harry asked, regarding Hermione with a mixture of admiration and incredulity. Just after his - Dumbledores - funeral, said Hermione in an even smaller voice.
I consider, that you are not right. I suggest it to discuss. Write to me in PM, we will communicate.
