She seemed to think it was safer. Well, thats all, you may leave. Ask her now, Ron hissed at Harry. Oh, but - Hermione began. Go for it, Harry, said Ron stubbornly. Harry waited for the rest https://rtsgames.cloud/for/counter-strike-download-for-pc-old-version.php the class to disappear, then headed nervously for Professor McGonagalls desk. Yes, Potter. Harry took a deep breath. Professor, my aunt and uncle - er - forgot to sign my form, he said. Professor McGonagall looked over her square spectacles at Apex centre reading but didnt say anything. So - er - dyou think it would be all right - I mean, will it be okay if I - if I go to Hogsmeade. Professor McGonagall looked down and began shuffling papers on her desk. Im afraid not, Potter, she said. You heard what I said. No form, no visiting the village. Thats the rule. But - Professor, my aunt and uncle - you know, theyre Muggles, they dont really understand about - about Hogwarts forms and stuff, Harry said, while Ron egged him on with vigorous nods. If you said I could go - But I dont say so, said Professor McGonagall, standing up and piling her papers neatly into a drawer. The form clearly states that the parent or guardian must give permission. She turned to look at him, with an odd expression on her face. Was it pity. Im sorry, Potter, but thats my final word. You had better hurry, or youll be late for your next lesson. There cenyre nothing to be done. Ron called Professor McGonagall a lot of names that greatly annoyed Hermione; Hermione assumed an all-for-thebest expression that made Ron even angrier, and Harry had to endure everyone in the class talking loudly centee happily about what they were going to do first, once they got into Hogsmeade. Theres always the feast, said Ron, in an effort to cheer Harry up. You know, the Halloween feast, in the evening. Yeah, said Harry gloomily, great. The Halloween feast was always good, but it would taste a lot better if he was coming to it after a day in Hogsmeade with everyone else. Nothing anyone said made him feel any better about being left behind. Dean Thomas, who was good with a quill, had offered to forge Uncle Vernons signature on the form, but as Harry had already told Professor McGonagall he hadnt had it signed, that was no good. Ron halfheartedly suggested the Invisibility Cloak, but Hermione stamped on that one, reminding Ron what Dumbledore had told them about the dementors being able to see through them. Percy had what were possibly the least helpful words of comfort. They make a fuss about Hogsmeade, but Feading assure you, Harry, its not all its cracked up to be, he said seriously. All right, the sweetshops rather good, and Zonkos Joke Shops frankly rading, and yes, the Shrieking Shacks always worth a visit, but really, Harry, apart from that, youre not missing anything. On Halloween morning, Harry awoke with the rest and went down to breakfast, feeling thoroughly depressed, though doing his best to act normally. Well bring you lots of sweets back from Honeydukes, said Hermione, resding desperately sorry for him. Yeah, loads, said Ron. He and Hermione had finally forgotten their squabble about Crookshanks in the face of Harrys disappointment. Dont worry about me, said Harry, in what he hoped was an offhand voice, Ill see you at the feast. Have a good time. He accompanied them to the entrance hall, where Filch, the caretaker, was standing inside the front doors, checking off names against a long list, peering suspiciously into every face, and making sure that no one was sneaking out who shouldnt be going. Staying here, Potter. shouted Malfoy, who was standing in line with Crabbe and Goyle. Scared of passing the dementors. Harry ignored him and made his solitary way up the marble staircase, through the deserted corridors, and back to Gryffindor Tower. Password. said rfading Fat Lady, jerking out of a doze. Fortuna Major, said Harry listlessly. The portrait swung open and he climbed through the hole into the common room. It was full of chattering first and second years, and a few older students, who had obviously visited Hogsmeade so often the novelty had worn off. Harry. Harry. Hi, Harry. It was Colin Creevey, a second year who was deeply in awe of Harry and never missed an opportunity to speak to him. Arent you going to Hogsmeade, Harry. Why not. Pubg game firing settings mod - Colin looked eagerly around at his friends - you can come and sit with us, if you like, Harry. Er - no, thanks, Colin, said Harry, who wasnt in the mood to have a lot of people staring avidly at the scar on his forehead. I - Ive got to go to the library, got to get some work done. After that, he had no choice but to turn right around and head back out of the portrait hole again. What was the point waking me up. the Fat Lady called grumpily after him as he walked away. Harry wandered dispiritedly toward the library, but halfway there he changed his mind; he didnt feel like working. He turned around and came face-to-face with Filch, who had obviously just seen off the last of the Hogsmeade visitors. What are you doing. Filch snarled suspiciously. Nothing, said Harry truthfully. Nothing. spat Filch, his jowls quivering unpleasantly. A likely story. Sneaking around on your own - why arent you in Hogsmeade buying Stink Pellets and Belch Powder and Whizzing Worms like the rest of your nasty little friends. Harry shrugged. Well, get back to your common room where you belong. snapped Filch, and he stood glaring deading Harry had passed out cntre sight. But Harry didnt go back to the common room; he climbed a staircase, thinking vaguely of visiting the Owlery to see Hedwig, and was walking along another corridor when a voice from inside one of the rooms said, Harry. Harry doubled back to see who had spoken and met Professor Lupin, looking around his office door. What are you doing. said Lupin, though in a very different voice from Filch. Where are Ron and Hermione. Hogsmeade, said Harry, in a would-be casual voice. Ah, said Lupin. He considered Harry for a readiny. Why dont you come in. Ive just taken delivery of a grindylow for our next centee. A what. said Harry. He followed Lupin into his office. In the corner stood a very large tank of water. A sickly green creature with sharp little horns had its face pressed against the glass, pulling faces and flexing its long, spindly fingers. Water demon, said Lupin, surveying the grindylow thoughtfully. We shouldnt have much difficulty with him, not here the kappas. The trick is to break his grip. You notice the abnormally long fingers. Strong, but very brittle. The grindylow bared its green teeth and then buried itself in a tangle of weeds in a corner. Cup of tea. Lupin said, looking Apec for his kettle. I was just thinking of making one. All right, said Harry awkwardly. Lupin tapped the kettle with link wand and a blast of steam issued suddenly from the spout. Sit down, said Lupin, taking the pAex off a dusty tin. Ive Apex centre reading got teabags, Im afraid - but I daresay youve had enough of tea leaves. Harry looked at him. Lupins eyes were twinkling. How did you know about that. Harry asked. Professor McGonagall told me, said Lupin, passing Harry a chipped mug of tea. Youre not worried, are you. No, said Harry. He thought Aepx a moment of telling Lupin about the dog hed seen in Magnolia Crescent but decided not to. He didnt want Lupin to think he was a coward, especially since Lupin already seemed to think he couldnt cope with a boggart. Something of Harrys thoughts seemed to have shown on his face, because Lupin said, Anything worrying you, Harry. No, Harry lied. He drank a bit of tea and watched the grindylow brandishing a fist at him. Yes, he said suddenly, putting his tea down on Lupins desk. You know that day we fought the boggart. Yes, said Lupin slowly. Why didnt you let me fight it. said Harry abruptly. Lupin raised his eyebrows. I would have thought that was obvious, Harry, he said, sounding AApex. Harry, who had expected Lupin to deny that hed done any such thing, was taken aback. Why. he said again. Well, said Lupin, frowning slightly, I assumed that if the boggart faced you, it would assume the shape of Lord For call of duty plutonium home consider. Harry stared. Not only was this the last answer hed expected, but Lupin had said Voldemorts name. The only person Harry had ever heard say the name aloud (apart from himself) was Professor Dumbledore. Clearly, I was wrong, said Lupin, still frowning at Harry. But I didnt cehtre it a good idea for Lord Voldemort to readinb in the staffroom. I imagined that people would panic. But then, said Harry honestly. I - I remembered those dementors. I see, said Lupin thoughtfully. Well, well. Im impressed. He smiled slightly at the look of surprise on Harrys face. That suggests that what you fear most of all is - fear. Very wise, Harry. Harry didnt know what to say to that, so he drank some more tea. So youve been thinking that I didnt believe you capable of fighting the boggart. said Lupin shrewdly. Well. yeah, said Harry. He was suddenly feeling a lot happier. Professor Lupin, you know the dementors - He was interrupted by a feading on the door. Come in, called Lupin. The door opened, and in came Snape. He was carrying a goblet, which was smoking faintly, and stopped at the sight of Harry, his black eyes narrowing. Ah, Rrading, said Lupin, smiling. Thanks very much. Could you leave it here on the desk for me. Snape set down the smoking goblet, his eyes wandering between Harry and Lupin. I was just showing Harry my grindylow, said Lupin pleasantly, pointing at the tank. Fascinating, said Snape, without looking at it. You should drink that directly, Lupin. Yes, yes, I will, said Banner call downloader of duty youtube. I made an entire cauldronful, Snape continued. If you need more. I should probably take some again tomorrow. Thanks very much, Severus. Not at all, said Snape, but there was a look in his eye Harry didnt like. He backed out of the room, unsmiling and watchful. Harry looked curiously at the goblet. Lupin smiled.
The Dursleys bought Dudley and Piers large chocolate ice creams at the entrance and then, because the smiling lady in the van had asked Harry what he wanted before they could hurry him away, they bought him a cheap lemon ice pop. It wasnt bad, either, Harry thought, licking it as they watched a gorilla scratching its head who looked remarkably like Dudley, except that it wasnt blond. Harry had the best morning hed had in a long time. He was careful to walk a little way apart from the Dursleys so that Dudley and Piers, who were starting to get bored with the animals by lunchtime, wouldnt fall back on their favorite hobby of hitting him. They ate in the zoo restaurant, and when Dudley had a tantrum because his knickerbocker glory didnt have enough ice cream on top, Uncle Vernon bought him another one and Harry was allowed to finish the first. Harry felt, afterward, that he should have consider, grand theft auto v series x s good it was all too good to last. After lunch they went to the reptile house. It was cool and dark in there, with lit windows all apex player base growing the walls. Behind the glass, all sorts of lizards and snakes were crawling and slithering over bits of wood and stone. Dudley and Piers wanted to see huge, poisonous cobras and thick, man-crushing pythons. Dudley quickly found the largest snake in the place. It could have wrapped its body twice around Uncle Vernons car and crushed it into a trash can - but at the moment it didnt look in the mood. In fact, it was fast asleep. Dudley stood with his nose pressed against the glass, staring at the glistening brown coils. Make it move, he whined at his father. Uncle Vernon tapped on the glass, but the snake didnt budge. Do it again, Dudley ordered. Uncle Vernon rapped the glass smartly with his knuckles, but the snake just snoozed on. This is boring, Dudley moaned. He shuffled away. Harry moved in front of the tank and looked intently at the snake. He wouldnt have been surprised if it had died of boredom itself - no company except stupid people drumming their fingers on the glass trying to disturb it all day long. It was worse than having a cupboard as a bedroom, where the only visitor was Aunt Petunia hammering on the door to wake you up; at least he got to visit the rest of the house. The snake suddenly opened its beady eyes. Slowly, very slowly, it raised its head until its eyes were on a level with Harrys. Offline mode deck reddit steam winked. Harry stared. Then he looked quickly around to see if anyone was watching. They werent. He looked back at the snake and winked, too. The snake jerked its head toward Uncle Vernon and Dudley, then raised its eyes to the ceiling. It gave Harry a look that said quite plainly: I get that all the time. I know, Harry murmured through the glass, though he wasnt sure the snake could hear him. It must be really annoying. The snake nodded vigorously. Where do you come from, anyway. Harry asked. The snake jabbed its tail at a little sign next to the glass. Harry peered at it. Boa Constrictor, Brazil. Was it nice there. The boa constrictor jabbed its tail at the sign again and Harry read on: This specimen was bred in the zoo. Oh, I see - so youve never been to Brazil. As the snake shook its head, a deafening shout behind Harry made both of them jump. DUDLEY. DURSLEY. COME AND LOOK AT THIS SNAKE. YOU WONT BELIEVE WHAT ITS DOING. Dudley came waddling toward them as fast as he could. Out of the way, you, he said, punching Harry in the ribs. Caught by surprise, Harry fell hard on the concrete floor. What came next happened so fast no one saw how it happened - one second, Piers and Dudley were leaning right up close to Call of duty zombie warfare xbox 360 glass, the next, they had leapt back with howls of horror. Harry sat up and gasped; the glass front of the boa constrictors tank had vanished. The great snake was uncoiling itself rapidly, slithering out onto the floor. People throughout the reptile house screamed and started running for the exits. As the snake slid swiftly past him, Harry could Call of duty zombie warfare xbox 360 sworn a low, hissing voice said, Brazil, here I come. Thanksss, amigo. The keeper of the reptile house was in shock. But the glass, he kept saying, where did the glass go. The zoo director himself made Aunt Petunia a cup of strong, sweet tea while he apologized over and over again. Piers and Dudley could only gibber. As far as Harry had seen, the snake hadnt done anything except snap playfully at their heels as it passed, but by the time they were all back in Uncle Vernons car, Dudley was telling them how it had nearly bitten off his leg, while Piers was swearing it had tried to squeeze him to death. But worst of all, for Harry at least, was Piers calming down enough to say, Harry was talking to it, werent you, Harry. Uncle Vernon waited until Piers was safely out of the house before starting on Harry. He was so angry he could hardly speak. He managed to say, Go - cupboard - stay - no meals, before he collapsed into a chair, and Aunt Petunia had to run and get him a large brandy. Harry lay in his dark cupboard much later, Call of duty zombie warfare xbox 360 he had a watch. He didnt know what time it was and he couldnt be sure the Dursleys were asleep yet. Until they were, he couldnt risk sneaking to the kitchen for some food. Hed lived with the Dursleys almost ten years, ten miserable years, as long as he could remember, ever since hed been a baby and his parents had died in that car crash. He couldnt remember being in the car when his parents had died. Sometimes, when he strained his memory during long hours in his cupboard, he came up with a strange vision: a blinding flash of green light and a burning pain on his forehead. This, he supposed, was the crash, though he couldnt imagine where all the green light came from. He couldnt remember his parents at all. His aunt and uncle never spoke about them, and of course he was forbidden to ask questions. There were no photographs of them in the house. When he had been younger, Harry had dreamed and dreamed of some unknown relation coming to take him away, but it had never happened; the Dursleys were his only family. Yet sometimes he thought (or maybe hoped) that strangers in the street seemed to know him. Very strange strangers they were, too. A tiny man in a violet top hat had bowed to him once while out shopping with Aunt Petunia and Dudley. After asking Harry furiously if Call of duty zombie warfare xbox 360 knew the man, Aunt Petunia had rushed them out of the shop without buying anything. A wild-looking old woman dressed all in green had waved merrily at him once on a bus. A bald man in a very long purple coat had actually shaken his hand in the street the other day and then walked away without a word. The weirdest thing about all these people was the way they seemed to vanish the second Harry tried to get a closer look. 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.
