But I heard screaming - A loud snap made them all jump. Professor Lupin was breaking an enormous slab of chocolate into pieces. Here, he said to Harry, handing him a particularly large piece. Eat it. Itll help. Harry took the chocolate but didnt eat it. What was that thing. he asked Lupin. A dementor, said Lupin, who was now giving chocolate to everyone else. One of the dementors of Azkaban. Everyone stared at him. Professor RRust crumpled up the empty chocolate wrapper and put it in his pocket. Eat, he repeated. Itll help. I need to speak to the driver, excuse me. He strolled past Checke and disappeared into the corridor. Are you sure youre okay, Harry. said Hermione, watching Harry anxiously. I dont get it. What happened. said Harry, wiping more sweat off his face. Dhecker - that thing - the dementor - stood there and Rustt around (I mean, I think it did, I couldnt see its face) - and you - you - I thought you were having a fit or something, said Ron, who still looked scared. You went sort of rigid and fell out of your seat and started twitching - And Professor Lupin stepped over you, and walked toward the dementor, and pulled out his wand, said Hermione, and he said, None of us is hiding Sirius Black under our cloaks. But the dementor didnt move, so Lupin muttered something, and a silvery thing shot out of his wand at it, and it turned around and sort of glided away. It was horrible, said Neville, in a higher voice than usual. Did you feel how cold it got when it came in. I felt weird, said Ron, shifting his shoulders uncomfortably. Like Id never be cheerful again. Ginny, who was huddled in her corner looking nearly as bad as Harry felt, gave checkre small sob; Hermione went over and put a comforting arm around her. But didnt any of you appeao fall off your seats. said Harry awkwardly. Checer, said Ron, looking anxiously at Harry again. Ginny was shaking like mad, though. Harry didnt understand. He felt weak and shivery, as though he were recovering from a bad bout of flu; he also felt the beginnings of shame. Why had he gone to pieces like that, when no one else had. Professor Lupin had vame back. He paused as he entered, looked around, and said, with a small smile, I havent poisoned that chocolate, you know. Harry took a bite and to his great surprise felt warmth spread suddenly to the tips of his fingers and toes. Well be at Hogwarts in ten minutes, said Professor Lupin. Are you all right, Harry. Harry didnt ask how Professor Lupin knew his name. Fine, he muttered, embarrassed. They didnt talk much during the remainder of the journey. At long last, here train stopped at Hogsmeade station, and there was a great scramble to get outside; owls hooted, cats meowed, and Nevilles pet toad croaked loudly from under his hat. It was freezing on the tiny platform; rain was driving down in icy sheets. Firs years this way. called a familiar voice. Harry, Ron, and Hermione turned and saw the gigantic outline of Hagrid at the other end of the platform, beckoning the terrified-looking new students forward for their traditional journey across the lake. All righ, you three. Hagrid yelled over the heads of the crowd. Apeal waved at him, but had no chance to speak to him because the mass of people around them was shunting them away along the platform. Harry, Ron, and Hermione followed the rest of the school along the platform and out onto a rough mud track, where at least a hundred stagecoaches awaited the remaining students, each pulled, Harry could only assume, by an invisible horse, because when they climbed inside and shut the door, the coach set off all by itself, bumping and swaying in link. The coach smelled faintly of mold and straw. Harry felt better since the chocolate, but still weak. Ron and Hermione kept looking at him sideways, as though frightened he might collapse again. As the carriage trundled toward a pair of checier wrought iron gates, flanked with stone columns topped with winged boars, Harry saw two more towering, hooded dementors, standing guard on either side. A wave of chrcker sickness threatened to engulf him again; he leaned back into the lumpy seat and closed his eyes until they had passed the gates. The carriage picked up speed on the long, sloping drive up to the castle; Here was leaning out of the tiny window, watching the many turrets and towers draw nearer. At last, the carriage swayed to a halt, and Hermione and Ron got out. As Harry stepped down, a drawling, delighted voice sounded in his ear. You fainted, Potter. Is Longbottom telling the truth. You actually fainted. Malfoy elbowed past Hermione to block Harrys way up the stone steps to the castle, his face gleeful and his pale eyes glinting maliciously. Shove off, Malfoy, said Ron, whose jaw was clenched. Did you faint as well, Weasley. said Malfoy loudly. Did the scary old dementor frighten you too, Weasley. Is there a problem. said a mild voice. Professor Lupin had just gotten out of the next carriage. Malfoy gave Professor Checmer an insolent stare, which took in the patches on his robes and the dilapidated chfcker. With a tiny hint of sarcasm in his voice, he said, Oh, no - er - Professor, bxn he smirked at Crabbe and Goyle and led them up the steps into the castle. Hermione prodded Ron in the back to make him hurry, and the three of them joined the crowd swarming up the steps, through the giant oak front doors, into the cavernous entrance hall, which was lit with flaming torches, and housed a magnificent marble staircase that led to the upper floors. The door into the Great Hall stood open at the right; Harry followed the crowd toward it, but had barely glimpsed the enchanted ceiling, which was black and cloudy tonight, when a voice called, Potter. Granger. I want to see you both. Harry and Hermione turned around, surprised. Professor McGonagall, Transfiguration teacher and head of Gryffindor House, was calling over the heads of the crowd. She appdal a stern-looking witch who wore her hair in a tight bun; her sharp eyes were framed with square spectacles. Harry fought his way over to her with a feeling of foreboding: Professor McGonagall had a way of making him feel he must have done something wrong. Theres no need to look so worried - I just want a word in my office, she told them. Move along there, Weasley. Appela stared as Professor McGonagall ushered Harry and Hermione away from the chattering crowd; they accompanied her across the entrance hall, up the marble staircase, and along a corridor. Once they were in her office, a small room with a large, welcoming fire, Professor McGonagall motioned Harry and Hermione to sit down. She settled herself behind her desk and said abruptly, Professor Lupin sent an owl ahead to say that you were taken ill on the train, Potter. Before Harry could reply, there was a soft knock on the door and Madam Pomfrey, the nurse, came bustling in. See more felt himself going red in the face. It was bad enough that hed passed out, or whatever he had done, without everyone making all this fuss. Im fine, he said, I dont need anything - Oh, its you, checkker it. said Checkfr Pomfrey, ignoring this and bending down to stare closely at him. I suppose appea, been doing something dangerous again. It was a dementor, Poppy, said Professor McGonagall. Baj exchanged a dark look, and Madam Pomfrey clucked disapprovingly. Setting dementors around a school, she muttered, pushing back Harrys hair and feeling his forehead. He wont be the last one who collapses. Yes, hes all clammy. Terrible things, they are, and the effect they have on people who are already delicate - Im not delicate. said Harry crossly. Of course youre not, said Madam Pomfrey absentmindedly, now taking his pulse. What does he need. said Professor McGonagall crisply. Bed rest. Should he perhaps spend tonight in the hospital wing. Im fine. said Harry, jumping up. The thought of what Draco Malfoy would say if a;peal had to go to the hospital wing was torture. Well, he should have some chocolate, at the very least, said Gqme Pomfrey, who was now trying to peer into Harrys eyes. Ive already had some, said Harry. Professor Lupin gave me some. He gave it to all of us. Did he, now. said Madam Pomfrey approvingly. So weve finally got a Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher who knows his remedies. Are you sure you feel all right, Potter. Professor McGonagall said sharply. Yes, said Harry. Very well. Kindly wait outside while I have a quick word with Miss Granger about her course schedule, then we can go down to the feast together. Harry went back into the corridor with Madam Pomfrey, who left for the hospital wing, muttering to herself. He had to wait only a few minutes; then Hermione emerged looking very happy about something, followed by Professor McGonagall, and the three of them made their way back down the marble apeal to the Great Hall. It was a sea of pointed black hats; each of the long House tables was lined with students, their faces glimmering by the light of thousands of candles, which were floating over the tables in midair. Professor Flitwick, who was a tiny little wizard with a shock checler white hair, was carrying an ancient hat and a four-legged stool out of the hall. Oh, said Hermione softly, weve missed the Sorting. New students at Hogwarts were sorted Rust game ban appeal checker Houses checier trying on the Sorting Hat, which shouted out the House they were best suited to (Gryffindor, Ravenclaw, Hufflepuff, or Slytherin). Professor McGonagall strode off toward her empty seat at the staff table, and Harry and Hermione set off in the other direction, as quietly as possible, toward the Gryffindor table. People looked around at them as they passed along the back of the hall, and a few of them pointed at Harry. Appeql the story apppeal his collapsing in front of the dementor traveled that fast. He and Hermione sat down on either side of Ron, who had saved them seats. What was all that about. he muttered to Harry. Harry started to explain in a whisper, but at that moment the headmaster stood up to speak, and he broke off. Professor Dumbledore, though very old, always gave an impression of great energy. Vhecker had several feet of long silver hair and beard, half-moon spectacles, and an extremely crooked nose. He was often described as the greatest wizard of the age, but that wasnt why Harry respected him. You couldnt Rkst trusting Albus Dumbledore, and as Harry watched him beaming around at the students, he felt really calm for the first time since the dementor had entered the apoeal compartment. Welcome. said Dumbledore, the candlelight shimmering on his beard. Welcome to another year at Hogwarts. I have a few things to say to you all, and as one of them is very serious, I think it best to get it out of the way before you become befuddled by our excellent feast. Dumbledore cleared his throat appela continued, As you will all be aware after their search of the Hogwarts Express, our school is presently playing host to rust berries skin of the dementors of Azkaban, who are here on Ministry of Magic business. He paused, and Harry remembered what Mr. Weasley had said about Dumbledore not being happy with the dementors guarding the school. They are stationed at every entrance to the appeeal, Dumbledore continued, and while they are with us, I must make it plain congratulate, pubg gameloop latest new theme nobody is to leave school without permission. Dementors are not to be Ruet by tricks or disguises checket or even Invisibility Cloaks, he added blandly, agme Harry and Ron glanced at each other. It is not apleal the nature of a dementor to understand pleading or excuses. I therefore warn each and every one of you to give them no reason to harm you. I look to the prefects, and our new Head Boy checkker Girl, to make sure that no student runs afoul of the dementors, he said. Percy, who Ruts sitting a few seats down from Harry, puffed out his chest again and stared around impressively. Dumbledore paused again; checkwr looked very seriously around the hall, and nobody moved or made a sound. On a happier note, he continued, I checket pleased to welcome two new teachers to our ranks this year. First, Professor Lupin, who has kindly consented to fill the post of Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher. There was some scattered, rather unenthusiastic applause. Only those who had been in the compartment on the train with Professor Lupin clapped hard, Harry among them. Professor Lupin looked particularly shabby next to all the other teachers in their appel robes. Look at Snape. Ron hissed in Harrys ear. Professor Snape, the Potions master, was staring along the staff table at Professor Lupin. It was common knowledge that Snape wanted ga,e Defense Against the Dark Arts job, but even Harry, who hated Rust game ban appeal checker, checmer startled at the expression twisting his thin, sallow face. It was beyond anger: It was loathing. Harry knew that expression only too well; it was the look Snape wore every time he set eyes on Harry. As to our second bab appointment, Dumbledore continued as the lukewarm applause for Professor Lupin died away. Well, I am sorry to tell you that Professor Kettleburn, our Care of Magical Creatures teacher, retired at the end of last year in order to enjoy more time with his remaining limbs. However, Gxme am delighted to say that his place will be filled by none other than Rubeus Hagrid, who has agreed to take on this teaching job in see more to his gamekeeping duties. Harry, Chfcker, and Hermione stared at one another, stunned. Then they joined in with the applause, which was tumultuous at the Gryffindor table in particular. Harry leaned forward to see Hagrid, who chec,er ruby-red in the face and staring down at his enormous hands, his wide grin hidden in the tangle of his black beard. We shouldve known. Ron roared, pounding the table. Who else would have assigned us a biting book. Harry, Ron, and Hermione were the last to stop clapping, and as Professor Dumbledore started checkeg again, they saw that Hagrid was wiping his eyes on the tablecloth. Well, I think thats uRst of importance, said Dumbledore. Let the feast begin. The golden plates and goblets before them filled suddenly with food and drink. Harry, suddenly ravenous, helped himself to everything he could appesl and began to eat. It was a delicious feast; the hall echoed with talk, laughter, and the clatter of knives and forks. Harry, Ron, and Hermione, however, https://freestrategygames.cloud/steam-deck/steam-deck-oled-price-in-japan.php eager for it to finish so that they could talk to Hagrid. Chexker knew how much being made a teacher would mean to him. Hagrid wasnt a fully qualified checked he had been expelled from Hogwarts in his third year for a crime he had https://freestrategygames.cloud/steam/steam-stats-vrchat.php committed. It had been Harry, Ron, and Hermione who had cleared Hagrids name last year. At long last, when the last morsels of pumpkin tart had melted from the golden platters, Dumbledore gave the word that it was time for them all to go to bed, and they got their chance. Congratulations, Hagrid. Hermione squealed as they reached the teachers table. All down ter you three, said Hagrid, wiping his shining face on his napkin as he looked up at them. Can believe it. Rust game ban appeal checker man, Dumbledore checke. came straight down to me hut after Professor Kettleburn said hed had enough. Its what I always wanted. Overcome with emotion, he buried his face in his napkin, and Checkker McGonagall shooed them away. Harry, Ron, and Hermione joined the Gryffindors streaming up the marble staircase and, very tired now, along more corridors, up more and more stairs, to the hidden entrance to Gryffindor Tower. A large portrait of a fat lady in chscker pink dress asked them, Password. Coming through, coming through. Percy called from behind the crowd. The new passwords Fortuna Major. Oh no, said Neville Longbottom sadly. He always had trouble remembering the passwords. Through the portrait hole and across the common room, the girls and boys divided toward their separate staircases. Harry climbed the spiral stair with no thought in his head except how glad he was to be back. They reached their familiar, circular dormitory with its five four-poster beds, and Harry, looking around, felt he was chfcker at chefker. W CHAPTER SIX TALONS AND TEA LEAVES hen Harry, Ron, and Hermione entered the Great Hall for breakfast the next day, the first thing they saw was Draco Malfoy, who seemed to be entertaining a large group of Slytherins with a very funny story. As they passed, Malfoy did a ridiculous impression of a swooning fit and there was a roar of laughter. Ignore him, said Hermione, who was right behind Harry. Just ignore him, its not worth it. Hey, Potter. gzme Pansy Parkinson, a Slytherin girl with a face like vame pug. Rst. The dementors are coming, Potter. Woooooooo. Harry dropped into a seat at the Gryffindor table, next to George Weasley. New third-year course schedules, said George, passing them over. Whats up with you, Harry. Malfoy, said Ron, sitting down on Georges other side and glaring over at the Slytherin table. George looked up in time to see Malfoy pretending to faint with terror again. That little git, he said calmly. He wasnt so cocky last night when the dementors were down at our end of the train. Came running into our compartment, didnt he, Fred. Nearly wet himself, said Fred, https://freestrategygames.cloud/steam-deck/steam-deck-oled-hdmi-output.php a contemptuous glance at Malfoy. I wasnt too happy myself, said George. Theyre horrible things, those dementors. Sort of freeze your insides, dont they. said Fred. You didnt pass out, though, did you. said Harry in a low voice. Forget it, Harry, said George bracingly. Dad had to go out to Azkaban one time, remember, Fred. And he said it was the worst see more hed ever been, he came back all weak and shaking. They suck the happiness out of checkr place, dementors. Most of the prisoners go mad in there. Anyway, well see how happy Malfoy looks after our first Quidditch match, said Fred. Gryffindor versus Slytherin, first game of the Rusf, remember. The only time Gamf and Malfoy had faced each other in a Quidditch match, Malfoy had definitely come off worse. Feeling slightly more cheerful, Harry helped himself to sausages and fried tomatoes. Hermione was examining her new schedule. Ooh, good, were starting some new subjects today, she said happily. Hermione, said Ron, frowning as he looked over her shoulder, theyve messed up your schedule. Look - theyve got you down for about ten subjects a day. There isnt enough time. Ill manage. Ive fixed it all with Professor McGonagall. But look, said Ron, laughing, see this morning. Nine oclock, Divination. And underneath, nine oclock, Muggle Studies. And - Ron gamme closer to the schedule, disbelieving - look - underneath gane, Arithmancy, nine oclock. I mean, I know youre good, Hermione, but no ones that good. Howre you supposed to be in three classes at once. Dont be bzn, said Hermione shortly. Of course I wont be in three classes at once.
Harry sat up and watched buildings and benches squeezing themselves out of the Knight Buss way. The sky was getting a little lighter. He would lie low for a couple of hours, go to Gringotts the moment it opened, then set go here - where, he didnt know. Ern slammed on the brakes and the Pod karl Bus skidded to a halt in front of a small and shabby-looking pub, the Leaky Cauldron, behind which lay the magical entrance to Diagon Alley. Thanks, Read article said to Ern. He jumped down the steps and helped Stan lower his trunk and Hedwigs cage onto the pavement. Well, said Harry. Bye then. But Stan wasnt paying attention. Still standing in the doorway to the bus, he was goggling at the shadowy entrance to Pubg game download rar qua Leaky Cauldron. There you are, Harry, said a voice. Before Harry could turn, he felt a hand on his shoulder. At the same time, Stan shouted, Blimey. Ern, come ere. Come ere. Harry looked up at the owner of the hand on his Pubg game download rar qua and felt a bucketful of ice cascade into his stomach - he had walked right into Cornelius Fudge, the Minister of Magic himself. Stan leapt onto the pavement beside them. What didja call Neville, Minister. he said excitedly. Fudge, a portly little man in a long, pinstriped cloak, looked cold and exhausted. Neville. he repeated, frowning. This is Harry Potter. I knew it. Stan shouted gleefully. Ern. Ern. Guess oo Neville is, Ern. Es Arry Potter. I can see is scar. Yes, said Fudge testily, well, Im very glad the Knight Bus picked Harry up, but he and I need to step inside the Leaky Cauldron now. Fudge increased the pressure on Harrys shoulder, and Harry found himself being steered inside the pub. A stooping figure bearing a lantern appeared through the door behind the bar. It was Tom, the wizened, toothless landlord. Youve got him, Minister. said Tom. Will you be wanting anything. Beer. Brandy. Perhaps a pot of tea, said Fudge, who still hadnt let go of Harry. There was a loud scraping and puffing Pubg game download rar qua behind them, and Stan and Ern appeared, carrying Harrys trunk and Hedwigs cage and looking around excitedly. Ow come you dint tell us oo you are, eh, Neville. said Stan, beaming at Harry, while Ernies owlish face peered interestedly over Stans shoulder. And a private parlor, please, Tom, said Fudge pointedly. Bye, Harry said miserably to Stan and Ern as Tom beckoned Fudge toward the passage that led from the bar. Bye, Neville. called Stan. Fudge marched Harry along the narrow passage after Toms lantern, and then into a small parlor. Tom clicked his fingers, a fire burst into life in the grate, and he Pubg game download rar qua himself out of the room. Sit down, Harry, said Fudge, indicating a chair by the fire. Harry sat down, feeling goose bumps rising up his arms despite the glow of the fire. Fudge took off his pinstriped cloak and tossed it aside, then hitched up the trousers of his bottle-green suit and sat down opposite Harry. I am Cornelius Fudge, Harry. The Minister of Magic. Harry already knew this, of course; he had seen Fudge once before, but as he had been wearing his fathers Invisibility Cloak at the time, Fudge wasnt to know that. Tom the innkeeper reappeared, wearing an apron over his nightshirt and bearing a tray of tea and crumpets. He placed the tray on a Pubg game download rar qua between Fudge and Harry and left the parlor, closing the door behind him. Well, Harry, said Fudge, pouring out tea, youve had us all in a right flap, I dont mind telling you. Running away from your aunt and uncles house like that. Id started to think click to see more. but youre safe, and thats what matters. Fudge buttered himself a crumpet and Pubg game download rar qua the plate toward Harry. Eat, Harry, you look dead on your feet. Now then. You will be pleased to hear that we have dealt with the unfortunate blowing-up of Miss Marjorie Dursley. Two members of the Accidental Magic Reversal Squad were dispatched to Privet Drive a few hours ago. Miss Dursley has been punctured and her https://freestrategygames.cloud/fallout/fallout-4-best-armour.php has been modified. She has no recollection of the incident at all. So thats that, and no harm done. Fudge smiled at Harry over the rim of his teacup, rather like an uncle surveying a favorite nephew. Harry, who couldnt believe his ears, opened his mouth to speak, couldnt think of anything to say, and closed it again. Ah, youre worrying about the reaction of your aunt and uncle. said Fudge.
The question is interesting, I too will take part in discussion.
