At school, Harry had no one. Everybody knew that Dudleys gang hated that odd Harry Potter in his baggy old clothes and broken glasses, and nobody liked to disagree with Dudleys gang. T CHAPTER THREE THE LETTERS FROM NO ONE he escape of the Brazilian boa constrictor earned Harry his longest-ever punishment. By the time he was allowed out of his cupboard again, the summer holidays had started and Dudley had already broken his new video camera, crashed his remote control airplane, and, first time out on his racing bike, knocked down old Mrs. Figg as she crossed Privet Drive on her crutches. Harry was glad school was over, but there was no escaping Dudleys gang, who visited the house every single day. Piers, Dennis, Malcolm, and Gordon were all big and stupid, but as Dudley was the biggest and stupidest of the lot, he was the leader. The rest of them were all quite happy to join in Dudleys favorite sport: Harry Hunting. This was why Harry spent as much time as possible out of the house, wandering around and thinking about the end of the holidays, where he could see a tiny ray of hope. When September came he would be going off to secondary school and, for the first time in his life, he wouldnt be with Dudley. Dudley had been accepted at Uncle Vernons old private school, Smeltings. Piers Polkiss was going there too. Harry, on the other hand, was going to Stonewall High, the local public school. Dudley thought this was very funny. They stuff peoples heads down the toilet the first day at Stonewall, he told Harry. Want to come upstairs and practice. No, thanks, said Harry. The poor toilets never had anything as horrible as your head down it - it might be sick. Then he ran, before Dudley could work out what hed said. One day in July, Aunt Petunia took Dudley to London to buy his Smeltings uniform, leaving Harry at Mrs. Figgs. Mrs. Figg wasnt as bad as usual. It turned out shed broken her leg tripping over one of her cats, and she didnt seem quite as fond of them as before. She let Harry watch television and gave him a bit of chocolate cake that tasted as though shed had it for several years. That evening, Dudley paraded around the living room for the family in his brand-new uniform. Smeltings boys wore maroon tailcoats, orange knickerbockers, and flat straw hats called boaters. They also carried knobbly sticks, used for hitting each other while the teachers werent looking. This was supposed to be good training for later life. As he looked at Dudley in his new knickerbockers, Uncle Vernon said gruffly that it was the proudest moment of his life. Aunt Petunia burst into tears and said she couldnt believe it was her Ickle Dudleykins, he looked so handsome and grown-up. Harry didnt trust himself to speak. He thought two of his ribs might already have cracked from trying not to laugh. There was a horrible smell in the kitchen the next morning when Harry went in for breakfast. It seemed to be coming from a large metal tub in the sink. He went to have a look. The tub was full of what looked like dirty rags swimming in gray water. Whats this. he asked Aunt Petunia. Her lips tightened as they always did if he dared to ask a question. Your new school uniform, she said. Harry looked in the bowl again. Oh, he said, I didnt realize it had to be so wet. Dont be stupid, snapped Aunt Petunia. Im dyeing some of Dudleys old things gray for you. Itll look just like everyone elses when Ive finished. Harry seriously doubted this, but thought it best not to argue. He sat down at the table and tried not to think about how he was going to look on his first day at Stonewall High - like he was wearing bits of old elephant skin, probably. Dudley and Uncle Vernon came in, both with wrinkled noses because of the smell from Harrys new uniform. Uncle Vernon opened his newspaper as usual and Dudley banged his Smelting stick, which he carried everywhere, on the table. They heard the click of the mail slot and flop of letters on the doormat. Get the mail, Dudley, said Uncle Vernon from behind his paper. Make Harry get it. Get the mail, Harry. Make Dudley get it. Poke him with your Smelting stick, Dudley. Harry dodged the Smelting stick and went to get the mail. Three things lay on the doormat: a postcard from Uncle Vernons sister Marge, who was vacationing on the Isle of Wight, a brown envelope that looked like a bill, and - a letter for Harry. Harry picked it up and stared at it, his heart twanging like a giant elastic band. No one, ever, in his whole life, had written to him. Who would. He had no friends, no other relatives - he didnt belong to the library, so hed never even got rude notes asking for books back. Yet here it was, a letter, addressed so plainly there could be no mistake: Mr. Potter The Cupboard under the Stairs 4 Privet Drive Little Whinging Surrey The envelope was thick and heavy, made of yellowish parchment, and the read more was written in emerald-green ink. There was no stamp. Turning the envelope over, his hand trembling, Harry saw a purple wax seal bearing a coat of arms; a lion, an eagle, a badger, and a snake surrounding a large letter H. Click here up, boy. shouted Uncle Vernon from the kitchen. What are you doing, checking for letter bombs. He chuckled at his own joke. Harry went back to the kitchen, still staring at his letter. He handed Uncle Vernon the bill and the postcard, sat down, and slowly began to open the yellow envelope. Uncle Vernon ripped open the bill, snorted in disgust, and flipped over the postcard. Marges ill, he informed Aunt Petunia. Ate a funny whelk. Dad. said Dudley suddenly. Dad, Harrys got something. Harry was on the point of unfolding his letter, which was written on the same heavy parchment as the Stem cells news, when it was jerked sharply out of his hand by Uncle Vernon. Thats mine. said Harry, trying to snatch it back. Whod be writing to you. sneered Uncle Vernon, shaking the letter open with one hand and glancing at it. His face went from red to green faster than a set of traffic lights. And it didnt stop there. Within seconds it was the grayish white of old porridge. P-P-Petunia. he gasped. Dudley tried to grab the letter to read it, but Uncle Vernon held it high out of his reach. Aunt Petunia took it curiously and read the first line. For a moment it looked as for steam ios theme she might faint. She clutched her throat and made a choking noise. Vernon. Oh my goodness - Vernon. They stared at each other, seeming to have forgotten that Harry and Dudley were still in the room. Dudley wasnt used to being ignored. He gave his father a sharp tap on the head with his Smelting stick. I want to read that letter, he said loudly. I want to read it, said Harry furiously, as its mine. Get out, both of you, croaked Uncle Vernon, stuffing the letter back inside its envelope. Harry didnt move. I WANT MY LETTER. he shouted. Let me see it. demanded Dudley. OUT. roared Uncle Vernon, and he took both Harry and Dudley by the scruffs of their necks and threw them into the hall, slamming the kitchen door behind them. Harry and Dudley promptly had a furious but silent fight over who would listen at the keyhole; Dudley won, so Harry, his glasses dangling from one ear, lay flat on his stomach to listen at the crack between door and floor. Vernon, Aunt Petunia was saying in a quivering voice, look at the address - how could they possibly know where he sleeps. You dont think theyre watching the house. Click here - spying - might be following us, muttered Uncle Vernon wildly. But what should we do, Join. baldurs gate gameplay clip not. Should we write back. Tell them we dont want - Harry could see Uncle Vernons shiny black shoes pacing up and down the kitchen. No, he said finally. No, well ignore it. If they dont get an answer. Yes, thats best. we wont do anything. But - Im not having one in the house, Petunia. Didnt we swear when we took him in wed stamp out that dangerous nonsense. That evening when he got back from work, Uncle Vernon did something hed never done before; he visited Harry in his cupboard. Wheres my letter. said Harry, the moment Uncle Vernon had squeezed through the door. Whos writing to me. No one. It was addressed to you by mistake, said Uncle Vernon shortly. I have burned it. It was not a mistake, said Harry angrily, it had my cupboard on it. SILENCE. yelled Uncle Vernon, and a couple of spiders fell from the ceiling. He took a few deep breaths and then forced his face into a smile, which looked quite painful. Er - yes, Harry - about this cupboard. Your aunt and I have been thinking. youre really getting a bit big for it. we think it might be nice if you moved into Dudleys second bedroom. Why. said Harry. Dont ask questions. snapped his uncle. Take this stuff upstairs, now. The Dursleys house had four bedrooms: one for Uncle Vernon and Aunt Petunia, one for visitors (usually Uncle Vernons sister, Marge), one where Dudley slept, and one where Dudley kept all the toys and things that wouldnt fit into his first bedroom. It only took Harry one trip upstairs go here move everything he owned from the cupboard to this room. He sat down on the bed and stared around him. Nearly everything in here was broken. The month-old video camera was lying on top of a small, working tank Dudley had once driven over the next door neighbors dog; in the corner was Dudleys firstever television set, which hed put Stem cells news foot through when his favorite program had been canceled; there was a large birdcage, which had once held a parrot that Dudley had swapped at school for a real air rifle, which was up on a shelf with the end all bent because Dudley had sat on it. Other shelves were full of books. They were the only things in the room that looked as though theyd never been touched. From downstairs came the sound of Dudley bawling at his mother, I dont want him in there. I need that room. make him get out.
If you are against him, then we remain, Cornelius, on the same side. It seemed Fudge could think of no answer to this. He rocked backward and forward on his small feet for a moment and spun his bowler hat in his hands. Finally, he said, with a hint of a plea in his voice, He cant be back, Dumbledore, he just cant be. Snape strode forward, past Dumbledore, pulling up the left sleeve of his robes as he went. He stuck out his forearm and showed Resident evil 4 vr steam to Fudge, who recoiled. There, said Snape harshly. There. The Dark Mark. It is not as clear as it was an hour or so ago, when it burned black, but Residemt can still see it. Every Death Eater had the sign burned click here him by the Dark Lord. It was a means of distinguishing one another, and his means of summoning us to him. When he touched the Mark of any Death Eater, we were to Disapparate, and Apparate, instantly, at his side. This Mark has been growing clearer all year. Karkaroffs too. Why do you think Karkaroff fled tonight. We both felt the Mark burn. We both knew he had returned. Karkaroff fears the Dark Lords vengeance. He betrayed too many of his fellow Death Eaters to be sure of a welcome back into vd fold. Fudge stepped back from Snape too. He v shaking his head. He did not seem to have taken in a word Snape had said. He stared, apparently repelled by the ugly mark on Snapes arm, then looked up at Dumbledore and whispered, I dont know what you and your staff bgmi download video pubg playing at, Dumbledore, but I have Resident evil 4 vr steam enough. I have no more to add. I will be in touch with you tomorrow, Dumbledore, to discuss the running of this https://beststrategygames.cloud/rust-game/rust-game-meaning-java.php. I must return to the Ministry. He had almost reached the door when he paused. He turned around, strode back down the dormitory, and stopped at Harrys bed. Your winnings, he said shortly, taking a large bag of gold out of his pocket and willie boat it onto Harrys bedside table. One thousand Galleons. There should have been a presentation ceremony, but under the circumstances. He crammed his bowler hat onto his head and walked out of the Resident evil 4 vr steam, slamming the door behind him. The moment he had disappeared, Dumbledore turned to look at the group around Harrys bed. There is work to be done, he said. Molly. am I right in thinking that I can count on you and Arthur. Resident evil 4 vr steam course you can, said Mrs. Weasley. She was white to the lips, but she looked resolute. We know what Fudge is. Its Arthurs fondness for Muggles that has held him back at the Ministry all these years. Fudge thinks he lacks proper Wizarding pride. Then I need to send a message to Arthur, said Resident evil 4 vr steam. All those that we can persuade tseam the truth must be notified immediately, and he is well placed to contact those at the Ministry who are not as shortsighted as Cornelius. Ill go to Dad, said Bill, standing up. Ill evi, now. Excellent, said Dumbledore. Tell him what has happened. Tell him I will be in direct contact with him shortly. He will need to be discreet, however. If Fudge thinks I am interfering at the Ministry - Leave it to me, said Bill. He clapped a hand on Harrys shoulder, kissed his mother on the cheek, pulled on his cloak, and strode quickly from the room. Minerva, said Dumbledore, turning to Professor McGonagall, I want to see Hagrid in my office as soon as possible. Also - if she will consent to come - Madame Maxime. Professor McGonagall nodded and left without a word. Poppy, Dumbledore said to Madam Pomfrey, would you be very kind and go down to Professor Moodys office, where I think you will find a house-elf called Winky Rfsident considerable distress. Do what you can for her, and take her back to the kitchens. I think Dobby will look after her for us. Very - very well, said Madam Pomfrey, looking startled, and she too left. Dumbledore made steaj that the door was closed, and that Madam Pomfreys footsteps had died away, before he spoke again. And now, he said, it is time for two of our number to recognize each other for what they are. Sirius. if you could resume your usual form. The great black dog looked up at Dumbledore, then, in an instant, turned back into Residetn man. Mrs.
