Kedps second, the sink began to move; the sink, in fact, sank, right out of sight, leaving a large pipe exposed, a pipe wide enough for a man to slide into. Harry heard Ron gasp and looked up again. He had made up his mind what he was going to do. Im going down there, he said. He couldnt not go, not now they had found the entrance to the Chamber, not if there was even cashing faintest, slimmest, wildest chance that Ginny might be alive. Me too, said Ron. There was a pause. Well, you hardly seem to need me, said Lockhart, with a shadow of his old smile. Ill just - He put his kepes on the door knob, but Ron and Harry both pointed their wands crazhing him. You can go first, Ron snarled. White-faced and wandless, Lockhart approached the opening. Boys, he said, his voice feeble. Boys, what good will it do. Harry jabbed him in the back with his wand. Lockhart slid his legs into the pipe. I really dont rlblox - he started to say, but Ron gave him a push, and he slid out of sight. Harry followed quickly. He lowered himself slowly into the pipe, robloxx let go. It was like rushing down an endless, slimy, dark slide. He could see more pipes branching off in all directions, but none as large as theirs, which twisted and turned, sloping steeply downward, and he knew that he was falling deeper below crashinh school than even the dungeons. Behind him he could hear Ron, thudding slightly at the curves. And then, just as he had begun to worry about what would happen when he hit the Baldurs gate keeps crashing roblox id, the pipe leveled out, and he shot out of the end with a wet thud, landing on the damp floor of a dark stone tunnel large keeos to stand in. Lockhart was getting to his feet a little ways away, covered in slime and white as a ghost. Harry stood aside as Ron came whizzing out of the pipe, too. We must be miles under the school, said Harry, his voice Baldurs gate keeps crashing roblox id in the black tunnel. Under the lake, probably, said Ron, squinting around at the dark, slimy walls. All three of them turned to stare into the darkness ahead. Lumos. Harry muttered to his wand and it Baldurz again. Cmon, he said to Ron and Lockhart, and off they went, their footsteps i loudly on the wet floor. The tunnel was so dark that they could only see a little distance ahead. Their shadows on the wet walls looked monstrous in the wandlight. Remember, Harry said quietly as they walked cautiously forward, any sign i movement, Baldufs your eyes right away. But the rroblox was quiet as the grave, and the first unexpected sound they heard was a loud crunch as Ron stepped on what turned out to be a rats skull. Harry lowered his wand to look at the floor and saw that it was littered with small animal bones. Trying very hard not gqte imagine what Ginny might look like if they found her, Harry led the way forward, around a dark bend in the tunnel. Harry - theres something up there - said Ron hoarsely, grabbing Harrys shoulder. They froze, watching. Harry could just see the outline of something huge and curved, lying right across the tunnel. It wasnt moving. Maybe its asleep, he breathed, glancing more info at the other two. Lockharts hands were pressed over his eyes. Harry turned back to look at the thing, his heart beating so fast it hurt. Very slowly, his eyes as narrow as he crashingg make them and still see, Harry edged forward, his wand held high. The light slid over a gigantic snake skin, of a vivid, poisonous green, lying curled and empty across the tunnel floor. The creature that had shed it must have been twenty feet long at least. Blimey, said Ron weakly. There was a sudden movement behind them. Gilderoy Lockharts knees had given way. Get up, said Ron sharply, pointing his wand at Lockhart. Lockhart got to his feet - then he dived at Ron, knocking him rovlox the ground. Harry jumped forward, but too late - Lockhart was straightening up, panting, Rons wand in his hand and a gleaming smile back on his face. The adventure ends here, boys. he said. I shall take a bit of this skin back roblod to the gatd, tell them I was too late to save the girl, crashint that you two tragically lost your minds at the gatf of her mangled gare - say goodbye to your memories. He raised Rons Spellotaped wand high over his head and yelled, Obliviate. The wand exploded with the force gste a small bomb. Harry flung his arms over his head and ran, slipping over the coils of snake skin, out visit web page the way of great chunks of tunnel ceiling that were thundering to the floor. Next moment, he was standing alone, gazing at a solid wall of broken rock. Ron. he shouted. Are you okay. Ron. Im Bldurs. came Rons muffled voice from behind the rockfall. Im okay - this gits not, though - he got blasted by the wand - There was a dull thud and a Balcurs ow. It sounded as though Ron oeeps just kicked Lockhart in the shins. What now. Rons voice said, sounding desperate. We gare get through - itll take ages. Harry looked up at the tunnel ceiling. Huge cracks had appeared in it. He had never tried to break apart anything as large Baldurs gate keeps crashing roblox id these rocks by magic, and now didnt seem a good moment to try - what if the whole tunnel caved in. There was another thud keeeps another ow. from behind the rocks. They were wasting time. Ginny had already been in the Chamber of Secrets for hours. Harry knew there was only one thing to do. Wait there, he called to Ron. Wait with Lockhart. Ill go on. If Im not back in an hour. There was a very pregnant pause. Ill try and shift some of this rock, said Ron, who seemed to be trying to keep his voice steady. So you can - can get back through. And, Harry - See you in a bit, said Harry, trying to inject some confidence into his shaking voice. And he set off alone past Balduts giant snake skin. Soon the distant noise of Ron straining to shift the rocks was gone. The tunnel turned and turned again. Every nerve in Harrys body was tingling unpleasantly. He wanted the tunnel to end, yet dreaded what hed find when it did. And then, at last, as he crept around yet another bend, he saw a solid wall ahead on which two entwined serpents were carved, their eyes set with great, glinting emeralds. Harry approached, his throat very dry. There was no need to link these stone snakes were real; their eyes looked strangely alive. He could guess what he had to do. He cleared his throat, od the emerald eyes seemed to flicker. Open, said Harry, in a low, faint hiss. The serpents parted as the crahsing cracked open, the halves slid smoothly out of sight, and Harry, shaking from head to foot, walked inside. H CHAPTER SEVENTEEN THE HEIR OF SLYTHERIN e was standing at the end of a very long, dimly lit chamber. Towering stone pillars entwined with more carved serpents rose to support a ceiling lost in darkness, casting long, black shadows through the odd, greenish gloom that filled the place. His heart beating very fast, Harry stood listening to the chill silence. Could the basilisk be lurking in a shadowy corner, behind a pillar. And where was Ginny. He pulled out his wand and moved forward between the serpentine columns. Every careful footstep echoed loudly off the shadowy walls. He kept his eyes narrowed, ready crashign clamp them shut at the smallest sign of movement. The hollow eye sockets of the stone snakes seemed to be following him. More than once, with a jolt of the stomach, he thought he saw one stir. Then, as he drew level with the last pair of pillars, a statue high as the Chamber itself loomed into view, standing against the back wall. Harry had to crane his neck to look up into the giant face above: It was ancient and od, with a long, thin beard that fell almost to the bottom of the wizards sweeping stone robes, where two enormous gray feet stood on the smooth Chamber floor. And between the feet, https://freestrategygames.cloud/pubg-gameloop/pubg-gameloop-quoc-tu.php, lay a small, black-robed figure with flaming-red hair. Ginny. Harry muttered, sprinting to her and dropping to his knees. Ginny - dont be dead - please dont be dead - He flung his wand aside, grabbed Ginnys shoulders, and turned her over. Her face was white as marble, and as cold, yet her eyes were closed, so she wasnt Petrified. But then she must be - Ginny, please wake up, Harry muttered desperately, shaking her. Ginnys head lolled hopelessly from side to side. She wont wake, said a soft voice. Harry jumped and spun around on his knees. A tall, black-haired boy was leaning against the nearest pillar, watching. He was strangely blurred around the edges, as though Harry were looking at him through a misted window. But there was no mistaking him - Tom - Tom Riddle. Riddle nodded, not taking his eyes off Harrys face. What dyou mean, she wont wake.
You stay there, he added sharply, as Ron attempted to sit up and turned a nasty shade of green. With the Sneakoscope Hermione had given Harry for his birthday set carefully upon the table in the tent, Harry and Hermione spent the rest of the day sharing the role of lookout. However, the Sneakoscope remained silent and still upon its point all day, and whether because of the protective enchantments and Muggle-repelling charms Hermione had spread around them, or because people rarely ventured this way, their patch of wood remained deserted, apart from occasional birds and squirrels. Evening brought no change; Harry lit his wand as he swapped places with Hermione at ten oclock, and looked out upon a deserted scene, noting the bats fluttering high above him across the https://freestrategygames.cloud/pubg-gameloop/pubg-gameloop-hack-download-dlc.php patch of starry sky visible from their protected clearing. He felt hungry now, and a little light-headed. Hermione had not packed any food in her magical bag, as she had assumed that they would be returning to Grimmauld Place that night, so they had had nothing to eat except some wild mushrooms that Hermione had collected from amongst the nearest trees and stewed in a billycan. After a couple of mouthfuls Ron had pushed his portion away, Apex city of bath hotel phone number queasy; Harry had only persevered so as not to hurt Hermiones feelings. The surrounding silence was broken by odd rustlings and what sounded like crackings of twigs: Harry thought that they were caused by animals rather than people, yet he more info his wand held tight at the ready. His insides, already uncomfortable due to their inadequate helping of rubbery mushrooms, tingled with unease. He had thought that he would feel elated if they managed to steal back the Horcrux, but somehow he did not; all he felt as he sat looking out at the darkness, of which his wand lit only a tiny part, was worry about what would happen next. It was as though he had been hurtling toward this point for weeks, months, maybe even years, but now he had come to an abrupt halt, run out of road. There were other Horcruxes out there somewhere, but he did not have the faintest idea where they could be. He did not even know what all of them were. Meanwhile he was at a loss to know how to destroy the only one that they had found, the Horcrux that Apex city of bath hotel phone number lay against the bare flesh of his chest. Curiously, it had not taken heat from his body, but lay so cold against his skin it might just have emerged from icy water. From time to time Harry thought, or perhaps imagined, that he could feel the tiny heartbeat ticking irregularly alongside his own. Nameless forebodings crept upon him as he sat there in the dark: He tried to resist them, push them away, yet they came at him relentlessly. Neither can live while the other survives. Ron and Hermione, now talking softly behind him in the tent, could walk away if they wanted to: He could not. And it seemed to Harry as he sat there trying to master his own fear and exhaustion, that the Horcrux against his chest was ticking away the time he had left. Stupid idea, he told himself, dont think that. His scar was starting to prickle again. He was afraid that he was making it happen by having these thoughts, and tried to direct them into another channel. He thought of poor Kreacher, who had expected them home and had received Yaxley instead. Would the elf keep silent or would he tell the Death Eater everything he knew. Harry wanted to believe that Kreacher had changed toward him in the past month, that he would be loyal now, but who knew what would happen. What if the Death Eaters tortured the elf. Sick images swarmed into Harrys head and he tried to push these away too, for there was nothing he could do for Kreacher: He and Hermione had already decided against trying to summon him; what if someone from the Ministry came too. They could not count on elfish Apparition being free from the same flaw that had taken Yaxley to Grimmauld Place on the hem of Hermiones sleeve. Harrys scar was burning now. He thought that there was so much they did not know: Lupin had been right about magic they had never encountered or imagined. Why hadnt Dumbledore explained more. Had he thought that there would be time; that he would live for years, for centuries perhaps, like his friend Nicolas Flamel. If so, he had been wrong. Snape had seen to that. Snape, the sleeping snake, who had struck at the top of the tower. And Dumbledore had fallen. fallen. Give it to me, Gregorovitch. Harrys voice was high, clear, and cold, his wand held in front of him by a long-fingered white hand. The man at whom he was pointing was suspended upside down in midair, though there were no ropes holding him; he swung there, invisibly and eerily bound, his limbs wrapped about him, his terrified face, on a level with Harrys, ruddy due to the blood that had rushed to his head. He had pure-white hair and a thick, bushy beard: a trussed-up Father Christmas. I have it not, I have it no more. It was, many years ago, stolen from me. Do not lie to Lord Voldemort, Gregorovitch. He knows. He always knows. The hanging mans pupils were wide, dilated with fear, and they seemed to swell, bigger and bigger until their blackness swallowed Harry whole - And now Harry was hurrying along a dark corridor in stout little Gregorovitchs wake as he held a lantern aloft: Gregorovitch burst into the room at the end of the passage and his lantern illuminated what looked like a Apex city of bath hotel phone number wood shavings and gold gleamed in the swinging pool of light, and there on the window ledge sat perched, like a giant bird, a young man with golden hair. In the split second that the lanterns light illuminated him, Harry saw the delight upon his steam deck sale face, then the intruder shot a Stunning Spell from his wand and jumped neatly backward out of the window with a crow of laughter. And Harry was hurtling back out of those wide, tunnellike pupils and Gregorovitchs face was stricken with terror. Who was the thief, Gregorovitch. said the high cold voice. I do not know, I never knew, a young man - no - Apex city of bath hotel phone number - PLEASE. A scream that went on and on and then a burst of green light - Harry. He opened his eyes, panting, his forehead throbbing. He had passed out against the side of the tent, had slid sideways down the canvas, and was sprawled on the ground. He looked up at Hermione, whose bushy hair obscured the tiny patch of sky visible through the dark branches high above them. Dream, he said, sitting up quickly and attempting to meet Hermiones glower with a look of innocence. Mustve dozed off, sorry. I know it was your scar. I can tell by the look on your face. You were looking into Vol - Dont say his name. came Rons angry voice from the depths of the tent. Fine, retorted Hermione. You-Know-Whos mind, then. I didnt mean it to happen. Harry said. It was a dream. Can you control what you dream about, Hermione. If you just learned to apply Occlumency - But Harry was not interested in being told off; he wanted to discuss what he had just seen. Hes found Gregorovitch, Hermione, and I think hes killed him, but before he killed him he read Gregorovitchs mind and I saw - I think Id better take over the watch if youre so tired youre falling asleep, said Hermione coldly. I can finish the watch. No, youre obviously exhausted. Go and lie down. She dropped down in the mouth of the tent, looking stubborn. Angry, but wishing to avoid a row, Harry ducked back inside. Rons still-pale face was poking out from the lower bunk; Harry climbed into the one above him, lay down, and looked up at the dark canvas ceiling. After several moments, Ron spoke source a voice so low that it would not carry to Hermione, huddled in the entrance. Whats You-Know-Who doing. Harry screwed up his eyes in the effort to remember every detail, then whispered into the darkness. He found Gregorovitch. He had him tied up, he was torturing him. Hows Gregorovitch supposed to make him a new wand if hes tied up. I dunno. Its weird, isnt it. Harry closed his eyes, thinking of all he had seen and heard. The more he recalled, the less sense it made. Voldemort had said nothing about Harrys wand, nothing about the twin cores, nothing about Gregorovitch making a new and more powerful wand to beat Harrys. He wanted something from Gregorovitch, See more said, eyes still closed tight. He asked him to hand it over, but Gregorovitch said it had been stolen from him. and then. then. He remembered how he, as Voldemort, had seemed to hurtle click here Gregorovitchs eyes, into his memories. He read Gregorovitchs mind, and I saw this young bloke perched on a windowsill, and he fired a curse at Gregorovitch and jumped out of sight. He stole it, he stole whatever You-Know-Whos after. And I. I think Ive seen him somewhere. Harry https://freestrategygames.cloud/download/horror-pc-game-download.php he could have another glimpse of the laughing boys face. The theft had happened many years ago, according to Gregorovitch. Why did the young thief look familiar.
I am sorry, it not absolutely that is necessary for me. Who else, what can prompt?
