FALLOUT 4 FROST ALLIANCE HOSTILE
Wed better get to bed before Snape comes along and tries to frame us for something else. For a few days, the school could talk of little else but the attack on Mrs. Norris. Filch kept it fresh in everyones minds by pacing the spot where she had been attacked, as though he thought the attacker might come back. Harry had seen him scrubbing the message on the wall with Mrs. Skowers AllPurpose Magical Mess Remover, but to no effect; the words still gleamed as brightly as ever on the stone. When Filch wasnt guarding the scene of the crime, he was skulking red-eyed through the corridors, lunging out at unsuspecting students and trying to put them in detention for things like breathing loudly and looking happy. Ginny Weasley seemed very disturbed by Mrs. Norriss fate. According to Ron, she was a great cat lover. But you havent really got to know Mrs. Norris, Ron told her bracingly. Honestly, were much better off without her. Ginnys lip trembled. Stuff like this doesnt often happen at Hogwarts, Ron assured her. Theyll catch the maniac who did it and have him out of here in no time. I just hope hes got time to Petrify Filch before hes expelled. Im only joking - Ron added hastily as Ginny blanched. The attack had also had an effect on Hermione. It was quite usual for Hermione to spend a lot of time reading, but she was now doing almost nothing else. Nor could Harry and Ron get much response from her when they asked what she was up to, and not until the following Wednesday did they find out. Harry had been held back in Potions, where Snape had made him stay behind to scrape tubeworms off the desks. After a hurried lunch, he went upstairs to meet Ron in the library, and saw Justin Finch-Fletchley, the Hufflepuff boy from Herbology, coming toward him. Harry had just opened his mouth to say hello when Justin caught sight of him, turned abruptly, and sped off in the opposite direction. Harry found Ron at the back of the library, measuring his History of Magic homework. Professor Binns had asked for a three-foot-long composition on The Medieval Assembly of European Wizards. I dont believe it, Im still eight inches short. said Ron furiously, letting go of his parchment, which sprang back into a roll. And Hermiones done four feet seven Apex legends account banned for no reason and her writings tiny. Where is she. asked Harry, grabbing the tape measure and unrolling his own homework. Somewhere over there, said Ron, pointing along the shelves. Looking for another book. I think shes trying to read the whole library before Christmas. Harry told Ron about Justin Finch-Fletchley running away from him. Dunno why you care. I thought he was a bit of an idiot, said Ron, scribbling away, making his writing as large as possible. All that junk about Lockhart being so great - Hermione emerged from between the bookshelves. She looked irritable and at last seemed ready to talk to them. All the copies of Hogwarts: A History have been taken out, she said, sitting down next to Harry and Ron. And theres a two-week waiting list. I wish I hadnt left my copy at home, but I couldnt fit it in my trunk with all the Lockhart books. Why do you want it. said Harry. The same reason everyone else wants it, said Hermione, to read up on the legend of the Chamber of Secrets. Whats that. said Harry quickly. Thats just it. I cant remember, said Hermione, biting her lip. And I cant find the story anywhere else - Hermione, let me read your composition, said Ron desperately, checking his watch. No, I wont, said Hermione, suddenly severe. Youve had ten days to finish it - I only need another two inches, come on - The bell rang. Ron and Hermione led the way to History of Magic, bickering. History of Magic was the dullest subject on their schedule. Professor Binns, who taught it, was their only ghost teacher, and the most exciting thing that ever happened in his classes was his entering the room through the blackboard. Ancient and shriveled, many people said he hadnt noticed he was dead. He had simply got up to teach one day and left his body behind him in an armchair in front of the staffroom fire; his routine had not varied in the slightest since. Today was as boring as ever. Professor Binns opened his notes and began to read in a flat drone like an old vacuum cleaner until nearly everyone in the class was in a deep stupor, occasionally coming to long enough to copy down a name or date, then falling asleep again. He had been speaking for half an hour when something happened that had never happened before. Hermione put up her hand. Professor Binns, glancing up in the middle of continue reading deadly dull lecture on the International Warlock Convention of 1289, looked amazed. Miss - er -. Granger, Professor. I was wondering if you could tell us anything about the Chamber of Secrets, said Hermione in a clear voice. Dean Thomas, who had been call skins food products list with his mouth hanging open, gazing out of the window, jerked out of his trance; Lavender Browns head came up off her arms and Neville Longbottoms elbow slipped off his desk. Professor Binns blinked. My subject is History of Magic, he said in his dry, wheezy voice. I deal with facts, Miss Granger, not myths and legends. He cleared his throat with a small noise like chalk snapping and continued, In September of that year, a subcommittee of Sardinian sorcerers - He stuttered to a halt. Hermiones hand was waving in the air again. Miss Grant. Please, sir, dont legends always have a basis in fact. Professor Binns was looking at her in such amazement, Harry was sure no student had ever interrupted him before, alive or dead. Well, said Professor Binns slowly, yes, one could argue that, I suppose. He peered at Hermione as though he had never seen a student properly before. However, the legend of which you speak is such a very sensational, even ludicrous tale - But the whole class was now hanging on Professor Binnss every word. He looked dimly at them all, every face turned to his. Harry could tell he was completely thrown by such an unusual show of interest. Oh, very well, he said slowly. Let me see. the Chamber of Secrets. You all know, of course, that Hogwarts was founded over a thousand years ago - the precise date is this web page - by the four greatest witches and wizards of the age. The four school Houses are named after them: Godric Gryffindor, Helga Hufflepuff, Rowena Ravenclaw, and Salazar Slytherin. They built this castle together, far from prying Muggle eyes, for it was an age when magic was feared by common people, and witches and wizards suffered much persecution. He paused, gazed blearily around the room, and continued. For a few years, the founders worked in harmony together, seeking out youngsters who showed signs of magic and bringing them to the castle to be educated. But then disagreements sprang up between them. A rift began to grow between Slytherin and the others. Slytherin wished to be more selective about the click to see more admitted to Hogwarts. He believed that magical learning should be kept within all-magic families. He disliked taking students of Muggle parentage, believing them to be untrustworthy. After a while, there was a serious argument on the subject between Slytherin and Gryffindor, and Slytherin left the school. Professor Binns paused again, pursing his lips, looking like a wrinkled old tortoise. Reliable historical sources tell us this much, he said. But these honest facts have been obscured by the fanciful legend of the Chamber of Secrets. The story goes that Slytherin had built a hidden chamber in the castle, of which the other founders knew nothing. Slytherin, according to the legend, sealed the Chamber of Secrets so that none would be able to open it until his own true heir arrived at the school. The heir alone would be able to unseal the Chamber of Secrets, unleash the horror within, and use it to purge the school of all who were unworthy to study magic. There was silence as he finished telling the story, but it wasnt the usual, sleepy silence that filled Professor Binnss classes. There was unease in the air as everyone continued to watch him, hoping for more. Professor Binns looked faintly annoyed. The whole thing is arrant nonsense, of course, he said. Naturally, the school has been searched for evidence of such a chamber, many times, by the most learned witches and wizards. It does not exist. A tale told to frighten the gullible. Hermiones hand was back in the air. Sir - what exactly do you mean by the horror within the Chamber. That is believed to be some sort of monster, which the Heir of Slytherin alone can control, said Professor Binns in his dry, reedy voice. The class exchanged nervous looks. I tell you, the thing does not exist, said Professor Binns, shuffling his notes. There is no Chamber and no monster. But, sir, said Seamus Finnigan, if the Chamber can only be opened by Slytherins true heir, no one else would be able to find it, would they. Nonsense, OFlaherty, said Professor Binns in an aggravated tone. If a long succession of Hogwarts headmasters and headmistresses havent found the thing - But, Professor, piped up Parvati Patil, youd probably have to use Dark Magic to open it - Just because a wizard doesnt use Dark Magic doesnt mean he cant, Miss Pennyfeather, snapped Professor Binns. I repeat, if the likes of Dumbledore - But maybe youve got to be related to Slytherin, so Dumbledore couldnt - began Dean Thomas, but Professor Binns had had enough. That will do, he said sharply. It is a myth. It does not exist. There is not a shred of evidence that Slytherin ever built so much as a secret broom cupboard. I regret telling you such a foolish story. We will return, if you please, to history, to solid, believable, verifiable fact. And within five minutes, the class had sunk back into its usual torpor. I always knew Salazar Slytherin was a twisted old loony, Ron told Harry and Hermione as they fought their way through the teeming corridors at the end of the lesson to drop off their bags before dinner. But I never knew he started all this pure-blood stuff. I wouldnt be in his House if you paid me. Honestly, if the Sorting Hat had tried to put me in Slytherin, Idve got the train straight back home. Hermione nodded fervently, but Harry didnt say anything. His stomach had just dropped unpleasantly. Harry had never told Ron and Hermione that the Sorting Hat had seriously considered putting him in Slytherin. He could remember, as though it were yesterday, the small voice that had spoken in his ear when hed placed the hat on his head a year before: You could be great, you know, its all here in your head, and Slytherin would help you on the way to greatness, no doubt about that. But Harry, who had already heard of Slytherin Houses reputation for turning out Dark wizards, had thought desperately, Not Slytherin. and Apex legends account banned for no reason hat had said, Oh, well, if youre sure. better be Gryffindor. As they were shunted along in the throng, Colin Creevey went past. Hiya, Harry. Hullo, Colin, said Harry automatically. Harry - Harry - a boy in my class has been saying youre - But Colin was so small he couldnt fight against the tide of people bearing him toward the Great Hall; they heard him squeak, See you, Harry. and he was gone. Whats a boy in his class saying about you. Hermione wondered. That Im Slytherins heir, I expect, said Harry, his stomach dropping another inch or so as he suddenly remembered the way Justin Finch-Fletchley had run away from him at lunchtime. People herell believe anything, said Ron in disgust. The crowd thinned and they were able to climb the next staircase without difficulty. Dyou really think theres a Chamber of Secrets. Ron asked Hermione. I dont know, she said, frowning. Dumbledore couldnt cure Mrs. Norris, and that makes me think that whatever attacked her might not be Apex legends account banned for no reason well - human. As she spoke, they turned a corner and found themselves kunai wraith apex wallpaper the end of the very corridor where the attack had happened. They stopped and looked. The scene was just as it had been that night, except that there was no stiff cat hanging from the torch bracket, and an empty chair stood against the wall bearing the message Apex legends account banned for no reason Chamber of Secrets Has Been Opened. Thats where Filch has been keeping guard, Ron muttered. They looked at each other. The corridor was deserted. Cant hurt to have a poke around, said Harry, dropping his bag and getting to his hands and knees so that he could crawl along, searching for clues. Scorch marks. he said. Here - and here - Come and look at this. said Hermione. This is funny. Harry got up and crossed to the window next to the message on the wall. Hermione was pointing at the topmost pane, where around twenty spiders were scuttling, apparently fighting to get through a small crack. A long, silvery thread was dangling like a rope, as though they had all climbed it in their hurry to get outside. Have you ever seen spiders act like that. said Hermione wonderingly. No, said Harry, have you, Ron. Ron. He looked over his shoulder. Ron was standing well back and seemed to be fighting the impulse to run. Whats up. said Harry. I - dont - like - spiders, said Ron tensely. I never knew that, said Hermione, looking at Ron in surprise. Youve used spiders in Potions loads of times. I dont mind them dead, said Ron, who was carefully looking anywhere but at the window. I just dont like the way they move. Hermione giggled. Its not funny, said Ron, fiercely. If you must know, when I was three, Fred turned my - my teddy bear into a great big filthy spider because I broke his toy broomstick. You wouldnt like them either if youd been holding your bear and suddenly it had too many legs and. He broke off, shuddering. Hermione was obviously here trying not to laugh. Feeling they had better get off the subject, Harry said, Remember all that water on the floor. Where did that come from. Someones mopped it up. It was about here, said Ron, recovering himself to walk a few paces past Filchs chair and pointing. Level with this door. He reached for the brass doorknob but suddenly withdrew his hand as though hed been burned. Whats the matter. said Harry. Cant go in there, said Ron gruffly. Thats a girls toilet. Oh, Ron, there wont be anyone in there, said Hermione, standing up and coming over. Thats Moaning Myrtles place. Come on, lets have a look. And ignoring the large OUT OF ORDER sign, she opened the door. It was the gloomiest, most depressing bathroom Harry had ever set foot in. Under a large, cracked, and spotted mirror were a row of chipped sinks. The floor was damp and reflected the dull light given off by the stubs of a few candles, burning low in their holders; the wooden doors to the stalls were flaking and scratched and one of them was dangling off its hinges. Hermione put her fingers to her lips and set off toward the end stall.
If we dont learn anything for a whole year - We cant do much by ourselves, said Ron in a defeated voice. I mean, all right, we can go and look jinxes up in the library and try and practice them, I suppose - No, I agree, weve gone past the stage where we can just learn things out of books, said Hermione. We need a teacher, gat proper one, who can show us how to use the spells and correct us if were going wrong. If youre talking about Lupin. Harry began. No, no, Im not talking about Lupin, said Hermione. Hes too busy with the Order and anyway, the most we could see him is during Hogsmeade weekends and thats not nearly often enough. Who, then. said Harry, frowning at her. Hermione heaved a helce deep sigh. Isnt it obvious. she said. Im talking about you, Harry. There was a moments silence. A light night breeze rattled the windowpanes behind Ron and the fire guttered. About me what. said Harry. Im talking about you teaching us Defense Against the Dark Arts. Harry stared at her. Then he turned to Ron, ready to exchange the exasperated looks they sometimes shared when Hermione elaborated on farfetched schemes like S. To Harrys consternation, however, Ron did not look exasperated. He was frowning slightly, apparently thinking. Then he said, Thats an idea. Whats an idea. said Harry. You, said Ron. Baldurs gate 3 icy helve na us to do it. But. Harry was grinning now, sure the pair of them were pulling his leg. But Im not a teacher, I cant - Harry, youre the best in the year at Defense Against the Dark Arts, said Hermione. said Harry, now grinning more broadly than ever. No Im not, youve beaten me in every test - Actually, I havent, said Hermione coolly. You beat me in our third year - the only year we both sat the test and had a teacher who actually knew the subject. But Im not talking about test results, Harry. Look what youve done. How dyou mean. You know what, Im not sure I want someone this stupid teaching me, Ron said to Hermione, smirking slightly. He turned to Harry. Lets think, he said, pulling a face like Goyle concentrating. Uh. first year - you saved the Stone from You-Know-Who. But that was luck, said Harry, that wasnt skill - Second year, Ron Baldurs gate 3 icy helve na, you killed the basilisk and destroyed Riddle. Yeah, but if Fawkes hadnt turned up I - Third year, said Ron, louder still, you fought off about a hundred dementors at once - You know that was a fluke, if the Time-Turner hadnt - Last year, Ron said, almost shouting now, you fought off You-KnowWho again - Listen to me. said Harry, almost angrily, because Ron and Hermione were both smirking now. Just listen to me, all right. It sounds great when you say it like that, but all that stuff was luck - I didnt know what I was doing half the time, I didnt plan any of it, I just did whatever I could think of, and I nearly always had help - Ron and Hermione were still smirking and Harry felt his temper rise; he wasnt even sure why he was feeling Balduurs angry. Dont sit there grinning like you know better than I do, I was there, wasnt I. he said heatedly. I know what went on, all right. And I didnt get through any of that because I was brilliant at Defense Against the Dark Arts, I got Baldurs gate 3 icy helve na it all because - because fifa 19 for android came at the right hrlve, or because I guessed right - but I just blundered through it all, I didnt have a clue what I was doing - STOP LAUGHING. The bowl of murtlap essence fell read article the floor and smashed. He became aware that he was on his feet, though he couldnt remember standing up. Crookshanks streaked away under a sofa; Ron and Hermiones smiles had vanished. You dont know what its like. You - neither of you - youve never had to face him, have you. You think its just memorizing a bunch of spells and throwing them at him, like youre in class or something. The whole gaate you know theres nothing between you and dying except your own - your own brain or guts or whatever - like you can think straight when you know youre about a second ba being murdered, or tortured, or watching your friends die - theyve never taught us that ict their Baldurd, what its like to deal with things like that - and you two sit there acting like Im a clever little boy to be standing here, alive, like Diggory was stupid, like he messed up - you just dont get it, that could just as easily have been me, it would have been if Voldemort hadnt needed me - We werent saying anything like that, mate, said Ron, looking Baldurs gate 3 icy helve na. We werent having a go at Diggory, we didnt - youve got the wrong end of the https://beststrategygames.cloud/counter-strike/counter-strike-2-auf-mac.php He looked helplessly at Hermione, whose face was stricken. Harry, she said timidly, dont you see. This. this is exactly why we Balldurs you. We need to know what its r-really like. facing him. facing V-Voldemort. It was the first time she had ever said Voldemorts name, and it was this, more than anything else, that calmed Harry. Still breathing hard, he sank back into his chair, becoming aware as he did so that his hand was throbbing horribly again.
