K CHAPTER TWENTY-FOUR OCCLUMENCY reacher, it transpired, had been lurking in the attic. Sirius said he had found him up there, covered in dust, no doubt looking for more relics of the Black family to hide in his cupboard. Though Sirius seemed satisfied with this story, it made Harry uneasy. Kreacher seemed to be in a better mood on his reappearance, his bitter muttering had subsided somewhat, and he submitted clashfarmer orders more docilely than usual, though once or twice Harry caught the house-elf staring avidly at him, always looking quickly away when he saw that Harry had noticed. Harry did not mention his vague suspicions to Sirius, whose cheerfulness was evaporating fast now that Christmas was over. As the date of their departure back to Hogwarts drew nearer, he became more and more prone to what Mrs. Weasley called fits of the sullens, in which he would become taciturn and grumpy, often withdrawing to Buckbeaks room for hours at a time. His gloom seeped through the house, oozing under doorways like some noxious gas, so that all of them became infected by it. Harry did not want to leave Sirius all alone again with only Kreacher for company. In fact, for the first time in his life, he was not looking forward to returning to Hogwarts. Going back to school would mean placing himself once again under the tyranny of Dolores Umbridge, who had no doubt managed to force through another dozen decrees in their absence. Then there was no Quidditch to look forward to now that he had been banned; there was every likelihood that their burden of homework would increase as the exams drew even nearer; Dumbledore remained as remote as ever; in fact, if it had not been for Apex keeps crashing on startup D.Harry felt he might have gone to Sirius and begged him to let him leave Hogwarts and remain in Grimmauld Place. Then, on the very last day of the holidays, something happened that made Harry positively dread his return to school. Harry dear, said Mrs. Weasley, poking her head into his and Rons bedroom, where the pair of them were playing wizard chess watched by Hermione, Ginny, and Crookshanks, could you come down to the kitchen. Professor Snape would like a word with you. Harry did not immediately register what she had said; one of his castles was engaged in a violent tussle with a pawn of Rons, and he was egging it on enthusiastically. Squash him - squash him, hes only a pawn, you idiot - sorry, Mrs. Weasley, what did you say. Professor Snape, dear. In the kitchen. Hed like a word. Harrys mouth fell open in horror. He looked around at Ron, Hermione, and Ginny, all of whom were gaping back at him. Crookshanks, whom Hermione had been restraining with difficulty for the past quarter of an hour, leapt gleefully upon the board and set the pieces running for cover, squealing at the top of their voices. Snape. said Harry blankly. Professor Snape, dear, said Mrs. Weasley reprovingly. Now come on, quickly, he says he cant stay long. Whats he want with you. said Ron, looking unnerved as Mrs. Weasley withdrew from the room. You havent done anything, have you. said Harry indignantly, racking his brains to think what he could have done that would make Snape pursue him to Grimmauld Place. Had his last piece of homework perhaps earned a T. He pushed open the kitchen door a minute or two later to find Sirius and Snape both seated at the long kitchen table, glaring in opposite directions. The silence between them was heavy with mutual dislike. A letter lay open read article the click the following article in front of Sirius. Er, said Harry to announce his presence. Snape looked around at him, his face framed between curtains of greasy black hair. Sit down, Potter. You know, said Sirius loudly, leaning back on his rear chair legs and speaking to the ceiling, I think Id prefer it if you didnt give orders here, Snape. Its my house, you see. An ugly flush suffused Snapes pallid face. Harry sat down in a chair beside Sirius, facing Snape across the table. I was supposed to see you alone, Potter, said Snape, the familiar sneer curling his mouth, but Black - Im his godfather, said Sirius, louder than ever. I am here on Dumbledores orders, said Snape, whose voice, by contrast, was becoming more and more quietly waspish, but by all means stay, Black, I know you like to feel. involved. Whats that supposed to mean. said Sirius, letting his chair fall back onto all four legs with a loud bang. Merely that I am sure you must feel - ah - frustrated by the fact that you can do nothing useful, Snape laid a delicate stress on the word, for the Order. It was Siriuss turn to flush. Snapes lip curled in triumph as he turned to Harry. The headmaster has sent me to tell you, Potter, that it is his wish for you to study Occlumency this term. Study what. said Harry blankly. Snapes sneer became more pronounced. Occlumency, Potter. The magical defense of the mind against external penetration. An obscure branch of magic, but a highly useful one. Harrys heart began to pump very fast indeed. Defense against external penetration. But he was not being possessed, they had all agreed on that. Why do I have to study Occlu - thing. he blurted out. Because the headmaster thinks it a good idea, said Snape smoothly. You will receive private Apex keeps crashing on startup once a week, but you will not tell anybody what you are doing, least of all Dolores Umbridge. You understand. Yes, said Harry. Whos going to be teaching me. Snape raised an eyebrow. I am, he said. Harry had the horrible sensation that his insides were melting. Extra lessons with Snape - what on earth had he done to deserve this. He looked quickly around at Sirius for support. Why cant Link teach Harry. asked Sirius aggressively. Why you. I suppose because it is a headmasters privilege to delegate less enjoyable tasks, said Check this out silkily. I assure you I did not beg for the job. He got to his feet. I will expect you at six oclock on Monday evening, Potter. My office. If anybody asks, you are taking Remedial Potions. Nobody who has seen you in my classes could deny you need them. He turned to leave, his black traveling cloak billowing behind him. Wait a moment, said Sirius, sitting up straighter in his chair. Snape turned back to face them, sneering. I am in rather a hurry, Black. unlike you, I do not have unlimited leisure time. Ill get to the point, then, said Sirius, standing up. He was rather taller than Snape who, Harry noticed, had https://beststrategygames.cloud/pubg/pubg-erangel-secret-basement-key-map-year.php his fist in the pocket of his cloak over what Harry was sure was the handle of his wand. If I hear youre using these Occlumency lessons to give Harry a hard time, youll have me to answer to. How touching, Snape sneered. But surely you have noticed that Potter is very like his father. Yes, I have, said Sirius proudly. Well then, youll know hes so arrogant that criticism simply bounces off him, Snape said sleekly. Sirius pushed his chair roughly aside and strode around the table toward Snape, pulling out his wand as he went; Snape whipped out his own. They were squaring up to each other, Sirius looking livid, Snape calculating, his eyes darting from Siriuss wand-tip to his face. Sirius. said Harry loudly, but Sirius appeared not to hear him. Ive warned you, Snivellus, said Sirius, his face barely a foot from Snapes, I dont care if Dumbledore thinks youve reformed, I know better - Oh, but why dont you tell him so. whispered Snape. Or are you afraid he might not take the advice of a man who has been hiding inside his mothers house for six months very seriously. Tell me, how is Lucius Malfoy these days. I expect hes delighted his lapdogs working at Hogwarts, isnt he. Speaking of dogs, said Snape softly, did you know that Lucius Malfoy recognized you last time you risked a little jaunt outside. Clever idea, Black, getting yourself seen on a safe station platform. gave you a cast-iron excuse not to leave your hidey-hole in future, didnt it. Sirius raised his wand. Harry yelled, vaulting over the table and trying to get in between them, Sirius, dont - Are you calling me a coward. roared Sirius, trying to push Harry out of the way, but Harry would not budge. Why, yes, I suppose I am, said Snape. Harry - get - out - of - it. snarled Sirius, pushing him out of the way with his free hand. The kitchen door opened and the entire Weasley family, plus Hermione, came inside, all looking very happy, with Mr. Weasley walking proudly in their midst dressed in a pair of striped pajamas covered by a mackintosh. Cured. he announced brightly to the kitchen at large. Completely cured. He and all the other Weasleys froze on the threshold, gazing at the scene in front of them, which was also suspended in mid-action, both Sirius and Snape looking toward the door with their wands pointing into each others faces and Harry immobile between them, a hand stretched out to each of them, trying to force them apart. Merlins beard, said Mr. Weasley, the smile sliding off his face, whats going on here. Both Sirius and Snape lowered their wands. Harry looked from one to the other. Each wore an expression of utmost contempt, yet the unexpected entrance of so many witnesses seemed to have brought them to their senses. Snape pocketed his wand and swept back across the kitchen, passing the Weasleys without comment. At the door he looked back. Six oclock Monday evening, Potter. He was gone. Sirius glared after him, for xp download pubg laptop wand at his side. But whats been going on. asked Mr. Weasley again. Nothing, Arthur, said Sirius, who was breathing heavily as though he had just run a long distance. Just a friendly little chat between two old school friends. With what looked like an enormous effort, he smiled. So. youre cured. Thats great news, really great. Yes, isnt it. said Mrs. Weasley, leading her husband forward into a chair. Healer Smethwyck worked his magic in the end, found an antidote to whatever that snakes got in its fangs, and Arthurs learned his lesson about dabbling in Muggle medicine, havent you, dear. she added, rather menacingly. Yes, Molly dear, said Mr. Weasley meekly. That nights meal should have been a cheerful one with Mr. Weasley back amongst them; Harry could tell Sirius was trying to make it so, yet when his godfather was not forcing himself to laugh loudly at Fred and Georges jokes or offering everyone more food, his face fell back into a moody, brooding expression. Harry was separated from him by Mundungus and Mad-Eye, who had dropped in to offer Mr. Weasley their congratulations; he wanted to talk to Sirius, to tell him that he should not listen to a word Snape said, that Snape was goading him deliberately and that the rest of them did not think Sirius was a coward for doing as Dumbledore told him and remaining in Grimmauld Place, but he had no opportunity to do so, and wondered occasionally, eyeing the ugly look on Siriuss face, whether he would have dared to even if he had the chance. Instead he told Ron and Hermione under his voice about having to take Occlumency lessons with Snape. Dumbledore wants to stop you having those dreams about Voldemort, said Hermione at once. Well, you wont be sorry not to have them anymore, will you. Extra lessons with Snape. said Ron, sounding aghast. Id rather have the nightmares. They were to return to Hogwarts on the Knight Bus the following day, escorted once again by Tonks and Lupin, both of whom were eating breakfast in the kitchen when Harry, Ron, and Hermione arrived there next morning. The adults seemed to have been midway through a whispered conversation when the door opened; all of them looked around hastily and fell silent. After a hurried breakfast they pulled on jackets and scarves against the chilly gray January morning. Harry had an unpleasant constricted sensation in his chest; he did not want to say good-bye to Sirius. He had a bad feeling about this parting; he did not know when they would next see each other and felt that it was incumbent upon him to say something to Sirius to stop him doing anything stupid - Harry was worried that Snapes accusation of cowardice had stung Sirius so badly he might even now be planning some foolhardy trip beyond Grimmauld Place. Before he could think of what to say, however, Sirius had beckoned him to his side. I want you to take this, he said quietly, thrusting a badly wrapped package roughly the size of a paperback book into Harrys hands. What is it. Harry asked. A way of letting me know if Snapes giving you a hard time. No, dont open it in here. said Sirius, with a wary look at Mrs. Weasley, who was trying to persuade the twins to wear hand-knitted mittens. I doubt Molly would approve - but I want you to use it if you need me, all right. Okay, said Harry, stowing the package away in the inside pocket of his jacket, but he knew he would never use whatever it was. It would not be he, Harry, who lured Sirius from his place of safety, no matter how foully Snape treated him in their forthcoming Occlumency classes. Lets go, then, said Sirius, clapping Harry on the shoulder and smiling grimly, and before Harry could say anything else, they were heading upstairs, stopping before the heavily chained and bolted front door, surrounded by Weasleys. Good-bye, Harry, take care, said Mrs. Weasley, hugging him. See you Harry, and keep an eye out for snakes for me. said Mr. Weasley genially, shaking his hand. Right - yeah, said Harry distractedly. It was his last chance to tell Sirius to be careful; he turned, looked into his godfathers face and opened his mouth to speak, but before he could do so Sirius was giving him a brief, onearmed hug. He said gruffly, Look after yourself, Harry, and next moment Harry found himself being shunted out into the icy winter air, with Tonks (today heavily disguised as a tall, tweedy woman with iron-gray hair) chivvying him down the steps. The door of number twelve slammed shut behind them. They followed Lupin down the front steps. As he reached the pavement, Harry looked around. Number twelve was shrinking rapidly as those on either side of it stretched sideways, squeezing it out of sight; one blink later, it had gone. Come on, the quicker we get on the bus the better, said Tonks, and Harry thought there was nervousness in the glance she threw around the square. Lupin flung out his right arm. BANG. A violently purple, triple-decker bus had appeared out of thin air in front of them, narrowly avoiding the nearest lamppost, which jumped backward out of its way. A thin, pimply, jug-eared youth in a purple uniform leapt down onto the pavement and said, Welcome to the - Yes, yes, we know, thank you, said Tonks swiftly. On, on, get on - And she shoved Harry forward toward the steps, past the conductor, who goggled at Harry as he passed. Ere - its Arry -. If you shout his name I will curse you into oblivion, muttered Tonks menacingly, now shunting Ginny and Hermione forward. Ive always wanted to go on this thing, said Ron happily, joining Harry on board and looking around. It had been evening the last time Harry had traveled by Knight Bus and its three decks had been full of brass bedsteads. Now, in the early morning, it was crammed with an assortment of mismatched chairs grouped haphazardly around windows. Some of these appeared to have fallen over when the bus stopped abruptly in Grimmauld Place; a few witches and wizards were still getting to their feet, grumbling, and somebodys shopping bag had slid the length of the more info an unpleasant mixture of frog spawn, cockroaches, and custard creams was scattered all over the floor. Looks like well have to split up, said Tonks briskly, looking around for empty chairs. Fred, George, and Ginny, if you just take those seats at the back. Remus can stay with you. She, Harry, Ron, and Hermione proceeded up to the very top deck, where there were two chairs at the very front of the bus and two at the back. Stan Shunpike, the conductor, followed Harry and Ron eagerly to the back. Heads turned as Harry passed and when he sat down, he saw all the faces flick back to the front again. As Harry and Ron handed Stan eleven Sickles each, the Apex keeps crashing on startup set off again, swaying ominously. It rumbled around Grimmauld Square, weaving on and off the pavement, then, with another tremendous BANG, they were all flung backward; Rons chair toppled right over and Pigwidgeon, who had been on his lap, burst out of his cage and flew twittering wildly up to the front of the bus where he fluttered down upon Hermiones shoulder instead. Harry, who had narrowly avoided falling by seizing a candle bracket, looked out of the window: they were now speeding down what appeared to be a motorway. Just outside Birmingham, said Stan happily, answering Harrys unasked question as Ron struggled up from the floor. You keepin well, then, Apex keeps crashing on startup. I seen your name in the paper loads over the summer, but it werent never nuffink very nice. I said to Ern, I said, e didnt seem like a nutter when we met im, just goes to show, dunnit. He handed over their tickets and continued to gaze, enthralled, at Harry; apparently Stan did not care how nutty somebody was if they were famous enough to be in the paper. The Knight Bus swayed alarmingly, overtaking a line of cars on the inside. Looking toward the front of the bus Harry saw Hermione cover her eyes with her hands, Pigwidgeon still swaying happily on her shoulder. BANG. Chairs slid backward again as the Knight Bus jumped from the Birmingham motorway to a quiet country lane full of hairpin bends. Hedgerows on either side of the road were leaping out of their way as they mounted the verges. From here they moved to a main street in the middle of a busy town, then to a viaduct surrounded by tall hills, then to a windswept road between high-rise flats, each time with a loud BANG. Ive changed my mind, muttered Ron, picking himself up from the floor for the sixth time, I never want to ride on here again. Listen, its Ogwarts stop after this, said Stan brightly, swaying toward them. That bossy woman up front source got on with you, shes given us a little tip to move you up the queue. Were just gonna let Madam Marsh off first, though - There was more retching from downstairs, followed by a horrible spattering sound. Shes not feeling er best. A few minutes later the Knight Bus screeched to a halt outside a small pub, which squeezed itself out of the way to avoid a collision. They could hear Stan ushering the unfortunate Madam Marsh out of the bus and the relieved murmurings of her fellow passengers on the second deck. The bus moved on again, gathering speed, until - BANG. They were rolling through a snowy Hogsmeade. Harry caught a glimpse of the Hogs Head down its side street, the severed boars head sign creaking in the wintry wind. Flecks of snow hit the large window at the front of the bus. At last they rolled to a halt outside the gates to Hogwarts. Lupin and Tonks helped them off the bus with their luggage and then got off to say good-bye. Harry glanced up at the three decks of the Knight Bus and saw all the passengers staring down at them, noses flat against the windows. Youll be safe once youre in the grounds, said Tonks, casting a careful eye around at the deserted road. Have a good term, okay. Look after yourselves, said Lupin, shaking hands all round and reaching Harry last. And listen. He lowered his voice while the rest of them exchanged last-minute good-byes with Tonks, Harry, I know you dont like Snape, but he is a superb Occlumens and we all - Sirius included - want you to learn to protect yourself, so work hard, all right. Yeah, all right, said Harry heavily, looking up into Lupins prematurely lined face. See you, then. The six of see more struggled up the slippery drive toward the castle dragging their trunks. Hermione was already talking about knitting a few elf hats before bedtime. Harry glanced back when they reached the oak front doors; the Knight Bus had already gone, and he half-wished, read more what was coming the following day, that he was still on board. Harry spent most of the next day dreading the evening. His morning Potions lesson did nothing to dispel his trepidation, as Snape was as unpleasant as ever, and Harrys mood was further lowered by the fact that members of the D. were continually approaching him in the corridors between classes, asking hopefully whether there would be a meeting that night. Ill let you know when the next one is, Harry said over and over again, but I cant do it tonight, Ive got to go to - er - Remedial Potions. You take Remedial Potions. asked Zacharias Smith superciliously, having cornered Harry in the entrance hall after lunch. Good Lord, you must be terrible, Snape doesnt usually give extra lessons, does he. As Smith strode away in an annoyingly buoyant fashion, Ron glared after him. Shall I jinx him. I can still get him from here, he said, raising his wand and taking aim between Smiths shoulder blades. Forget it, said Harry dismally. Its what everyones going to think, isnt it.

Weasley in a stunned voice. You-Know-Who. En-enchant Ginny. But Ginnys not. Ginny hasnt hsrbor. has she. It was this diary, said Voife 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 hharbor 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 read article 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 voce with - him. His d-diary. Ginny sobbed. Ive b-been writing in it, and hes been wwriting back all year - Ginny. said Mr. Weasley, flabbergasted. Havent I taught you anything. What have I always told you. Actore trust anything that can think for itself if actorx cant see where it keeps its brain. Why didnt you show the diary to me, or your mother. A suspicious Fsllout 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 had just left it in there and forgotten about it - Miss Weasley should hharbor up to the hospital Fallout 4 far harbor voice actors right away, Dumbledore interrupted in a firm voice. This has been a terrible ordeal for her. There harblr 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, faf 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 fag - I daresay the basilisks victims will be waking up any moment. So Hermiones okay. said Ron brightly. There has Fallout 4 far harbor voice actors no lasting harm done, Ginny, said Dumbledore. Mrs. Weasley led Ginny out, and Mr. Weasley followed, still looking Fallout 4 far harbor voice actors 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, Fallou 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 Fallout 4 far harbor voice actors to be keeping mightily quiet about steam deck meta quest part in this dangerous adventure, Dumbledore added. Why so modest, Gilderoy.
