I generally sleep late on a Saturday. Professor, Im really sorry to disturb you, said Harry as quietly as possible, while Ron stood on tiptoe, attempting to see past Slughorn into his room, but my friend Rons swallowed a love potion by mistake. You couldnt make him an antidote, could you. Id take him to Madam Pomfrey, but were not supposed to have anything from Weasleys Wizard Wheezes and, you know. awkward questions. Id have thought you could have whipped him up a remedy, Harry, an expert potioneer like you. asked Slughorn. Er, said Harry, somewhat distracted by the fact that Ron was now elbowing him in the ribs in an attempt to force his way into the room, well, Ive never mixed an antidote for a love potion, sir, and by the time I get it right, Ron this web page done something serious - Helpfully, Ron chose this moment to moan, I cant see her, Harry - is he hiding her. Was this potion within date. asked Slughorn, now eyeing Ron with professional interest. They can strengthen, you know, the longer theyre kept. That would explain a lot, panted Harry, now positively wrestling with Ron to keep him from knocking Slughorn over. Its his birthday, Professor, he added imploringly. Oh, all right, come in, then, come in, said Slughorn, relenting. Ive got the necessary here in my bag, its not a difficult antidote. Ron burst through the door into Slughorns overheated, crowded study, tripped over a tasseled footstool, regained his balance by seizing Harry around the neck, and muttered, She didnt see that, did she. Shes not here yet, said Harry, watching Slughorn opening his potion kit and adding a few pinches of this and that to a small crystal bottle. Thats good, said Ron fervently. How do I look. Very handsome, said Slughorn smoothly, handing Ron a glass of clear liquid. Now drink that up, its a tonic for the nerves, keep you calm when she arrives, you know. Brilliant, said Ron eagerly, and he gulped the antidote down noisily. Harry and Slughorn watched him. For a moment, Ron beamed at them. Then, very slowly, his grin sagged and vanished, to be replaced by an expression of utmost horror. Back to normal, then. said Harry, grinning. Slughorn chuckled. Thanks a lot, Professor. Dont mention it, mboy, dont mention it, said Slughorn, as Ron pubg game download java hd into a nearby armchair, looking devastated. Pick-me-up, thats what he needs, Slughorn continued, now bustling over to a table loaded with drinks. Ive got butterbeer, Ive got wine, Ive got one last bottle of this oakmatured mead. hmm. meant to give that to Dumbledore for Christmas. ah, well. He shrugged. He cant miss what hes never had. Why dont we open it now and celebrate Mr. Weasleys birthday. Nothing like a fine spirit to chase away the pangs of disappointed love. He chortled again, and Harry joined in. This was the first time he had found himself almost alone with Slughorn since his disastrous first attempt to extract the true memory from him. Perhaps, if he could just keep Slughorn in a good mood. perhaps if they got through enough of the oak-matured mead. There you are then, said Slughorn, handing Harry and Ron a glass of mead each before raising his own. Well, a very happy birthday, Ralph - Ron - whispered Harry. But Ron, who did not appear to be listening to the toast, had already thrown the mead into his mouth and swallowed it. There was one second, hardly more than naraka yueshan heartbeat, in which Harry knew there was something terribly wrong and Slughorn, it seemed, did not. - and may you have many more - Ron. Ron had dropped his glass; he half-rose from his chair and then crumpled, his extremities jerking uncontrollably. Foam was dribbling from his mouth, and his eyes were bulging from their sockets. Professor. Harry bellowed. Do something. But Slughorn seemed paralyzed by shock. Ron twitched and choked: His skin was turning blue. What - but - spluttered Slughorn. Harry leapt over a low table and sprinted toward Slughorns open potion kit, pulling out jars and pouches, while the terrible sound of Rons gargling breath filled the room. Then he found it - the shriveled kidneylike stone Slughorn had taken from him in Potions. He hurtled back to Rons side, wrenched open his jaw, and thrust the bezoar into his mouth. Ron gave a great shudder, a rattling gasp, and his body became limp and still. S CHAPTER NINETEEN ELF TAILS o, all in all, not one of Rons better birthdays. said Fred. It was evening; the hospital wing was quiet, the windows curtained, the lamps lit. Rons was the only occupied bed. Harry, Hermione, and Ginny were sitting around him; they had spent all day waiting outside the double doors, trying to see inside whenever somebody went in or out. Madam Pomfrey had only let them enter at eight oclock. Fred and George had arrived at ten past. This isnt how we imagined handing over our present, said George grimly, putting down a large wrapped gift on Rons bedside cabinet and sitting beside Ginny. Yeah, when we pictured the scene, he was conscious, said Fred. There we were in Hogsmeade, waiting to surprise him - said George. You were in Hogsmeade. asked Ginny, looking up. We were thinking of buying Zonkos, said Fred gloomily. A Hogsmeade branch, you know, but a fat lot of good itll do us if you lot arent allowed out at weekends to buy our stuff anymore. But never mind that now. He drew up a chair beside Harry and looked at Rons pale face. How exactly did it happen, Harry. Harry retold the story he had already recounted, it felt like a hundred times to Dumbledore, to McGonagall, to Madam Pomfrey, to Hermione, and to Ginny. and then I got the bezoar down his throat and his breathing eased up a bit, Slughorn ran for help, McGonagall and Madam Pomfrey turned up, and they brought Ron up here. They reckon hell be all right. Madam Pomfrey says hell have to stay here a week or so. keep taking essence of rue. Blimey, it was lucky you thought go here a bezoar, said George in a low voice. Lucky there was one in the room, said Harry, who kept turning cold at the thought of what would have happened if he had not been able to lay hands on Apex patch notes new little stone. Hermione gave an almost inaudible sniff. She had been exceptionally quiet all day. Having hurtled, white-faced, up to Harry outside the hospital wing and demanded to know what had happened, she had taken almost no part in Harry and Ginnys obsessive discussion about how Ron had been poisoned, but merely stood beside them, clench-jawed and frightened-looking, until at last they had been allowed in to see him. Do Mum and Dad know. Fred asked Ginny. Theyve already seen him, they arrived an hour ago - theyre in Dumbledores office now, but theyll be back soon. There was a pause while they all watched Ron mumble a little in his sleep. So the poison was in the drink. said Fred quietly. Yes, said Harry at once; he could think of nothing else and was glad for the opportunity to start discussing it again. Slughorn poured it out - Would he have been able to slip something into Rons glass without you seeing. Probably, said Harry, but why would Slughorn want to poison Ron. No idea, said Fred, frowning. You dont think he could have mixed up the glasses by mistake. Meaning to get you. Why would Slughorn want to poison Harry. asked Ginny. I dunno, said Fred, but there must be loads of people whod like to poison Harry, mustnt there. The Chosen One and all that. So you think Slughorns a Visit web page Eater. said Ginny. Anythings possible, said Fred darkly. He could be under the Imperius Curse, said George. Or he could be innocent, said Ginny. The poison could have been in the bottle, in which case it was probably meant for Slughorn himself. Whod want to kill Slughorn. Dumbledore reckons Voldemort wanted Slughorn on his side, said Harry. Slughorn was in hiding for a year before he came to Hogwarts. And. He thought of the memory Dumbledore had not yet been able to extract from Slughorn. And maybe Voldemort wants him out of the way, maybe he thinks he could be valuable to Dumbledore. But you said Slughorn had been planning to give that bottle to Dumbledore for Christmas, Ginny reminded him. So the poisoner could just as easily have been after Dumbledore. Then the poisoner didnt know Slughorn very well, said Hermione, speaking for the first time in hours and sounding as though she had a bad head cold. Anyone who knew Slughorn would have known there was a good chance hed keep something that tasty for himself. Er-my-nee, croaked Ron unexpectedly from between them. They all fell silent, watching him anxiously, but after muttering incomprehensibly for a moment he merely started snoring. The dormitory doors flew open, making them all jump: Hagrid came striding toward them, his hair rain-flecked, his bearskin coat flapping behind him, a crossbow in his hand, leaving a trail of muddy dolphin-sized footprints all over the floor. Bin in the forest all day. he panted. Aragogs worse, I bin readin to him - didn get up ter dinner till jus now an then Professor Sprout told me abou Ron. How is he. Not bad, said Harry. They say hell be okay. No more than six visitors at a time. said Madam Pomfrey, hurrying out of her office. Hagrid makes six, George pointed out. Oh. yes. said Madam Pomfrey, who seemed to have been counting Hagrid as several people due to his vastness. To cover her confusion, she hurried off to clear up his muddy footprints with her wand. I don believe this, said Hagrid hoarsely, shaking his great shaggy head as he stared down at Ron. Jus don believe it. Look at him lyin there. Whod want ter hurt him, eh. Thats just what we were discussing, said Harry. We dont know. Someone couldn have a grudge against the Gryffindor Quidditch team, could they. said Hagrid anxiously. Firs Katie, now Ron. I cant see anyone trying to bump off a Quidditch team, said George. Wood mightve done the Slytherins if he couldve got away with it, said Fred fairly. Well, I dont think its Quidditch, but I think theres a connection between the attacks, said Hermione quietly. How dyou work that out. asked Fred. Well, for one thing, they both ought to have been fatal and werent, although that was pure luck. And for another, neither the poison nor the necklace seems to have reached the person who was supposed to be killed. Of course, she added broodingly, that makes the person behind this even more dangerous in a way, because they dont seem to care how many people they finish off before they actually reach their victim. Before anybody could respond to this ominous pronouncement, the dormitory doors opened again and Mr. and Mrs. Weasley hurried up the ward. They had done no more than satisfy themselves that Ron would make a full recovery on their last visit to the ward; now Mrs. Weasley seized hold of Harry and hugged him very tightly. Dumbledores told us how you saved him with the bezoar, she sobbed. Oh, Harry, what can we say. You saved Ginny. you saved Arthur. now youve saved Ron. Dont be. I didnt. muttered Harry awkwardly. Half our family does seem to owe you their lives, now I stop and think about it, Mr. Weasley said in a constricted voice. Well, all I can say is that it was a lucky day for the Weasleys when Ron decided to sit in your compartment on the Hogwarts Express, Harry. Harry could not think of any reply to this and was almost glad when Madam Pomfrey reminded them that there were only supposed to be six visitors around Rons bed; he and Hermione rose at once to leave and Hagrid decided to go with them, leaving Ron with his family. Its terrible, growled Hagrid into his beard, as the three of them walked back along the corridor to the marble staircase. All this new security, an kids are still gettin hurt. Dumbledores worried sick. He don say much, but I can tell. Hasnt he got any ideas, Hagrid. asked Hermione desperately. I spect hes got hundreds of ideas, brain like his, said Hagrid. But he doesn know who sent that necklace nor put poison in that wine, or theydve bin caught, wouldn they. Wha worries me, said Hagrid, lowering his voice and glancing over his shoulder (Harry, for good measure, checked the ceiling for Peeves), is how long Hogwarts can stay open if kids are bein attacked. Chamber o Secrets all over again, isn it. Therell be panic, more parents takin their kids outta school, an nex thing yeh know the board o governors. Hagrid stopped talking as the ghost of a long-haired woman drifted serenely past, then resumed in a hoarse whisper. the board o governorsll be talkin about shuttin us up fer good. Surely not. said Hermione, looking worried. Gotta see it from their point o view, said Hagrid heavily. I mean, its always bin a bit of a risk sendin a kid ter Hogwarts, hasn it. Yer expect accidents, don yeh, with hundreds of underage wizards all locked up tergether, but attempted murder, thas diffrent. Sno wonder Dumbledores angry with Sn - Hagrid stopped in his tracks, a familiar, guilty expression on what was visible of his face above his tangled black beard. What. said Harry quickly. Dumbledores angry with Snape. I never said tha, said Hagrid, though his look of panic could not have been a bigger giveaway. Look at the time, its gettin on fer midnight, I need ter - Hagrid, why is Dumbledore angry with Snape. Harry asked loudly. Shhhh. said Hagrid, looking both nervous and angry. Don shout stuff like that, Harry, dyeh wan me ter lose me job. Mind, I don suppose yehd care, would yeh, not now yehve given up Care of Mag - Dont try and make me feel guilty, it wont work. said Harry forcefully. Whats Snape done. I dunno, Harry, I shouldnta heard it at all. I - well, I was comin outta the forest the other evenin an I overheard em talking - well, arguin. Didnt like ter draw attention to meself, so I sorta skulked tournament z 5000 tried not ter click, but it was a - well, a heated discussion an it wasn easy ter block it out. Well. Harry urged him, as Hagrid shuffled his methods steam quality testing feet uneasily. Well - I jus heard Snape sayin Dumbledore took too much fer granted an maybe he - Snape - didn wan ter do it anymore - Do what. I dunno, Harry, it sounded like Snape was feelin a bit overworked, thas all - anyway, Dumbledore told him flat out hed agreed ter do it an that was all there was to it. Pretty firm with him. An then he said summat abou Snape makin investigations in his House, in Slytherin. Well, theres nothin strange abou that. Hagrid added hastily, as Harry and Hermione exchanged looks full of meaning. All the Heads o Houses were asked ter look inter that necklace business - Yeah, but Dumbledores not having rows with the rest of them, is he. said Harry. Look, Hagrid twisted his crossbow uncomfortably in his hands; there was a loud splintering sound and it snapped in two. I know what yehre like abou Snape, Harry, an I Apex patch notes new want yeh ter go readin more inter this than there is. Look out, said Hermione tersely. They turned just in time to see the shadow of Argus Filch looming over the wall behind them before the man himself turned the corner, hunchbacked, his jowls aquiver. Oho. he wheezed. Out of bed so late, thisll mean detention. No it won, Filch, said Hagrid shortly. Theyre with me, aren they. And what difference does that make. asked Filch obnoxiously. Im a ruddy teacher, aren I, yeh sneakin Squib. said Hagrid, firing up at once. There was a nasty hissing noise as Filch swelled with fury; Mrs. Norris had arrived, unseen, and was twisting herself sinuously around Filchs skinny ankles. Get goin, said Hagrid out of the corner of his mouth. Harry did not need telling twice; he and Hermione both hurried off; Hagrids and Filchs raised voices echoed behind them as they ran. They passed Peeves near the turning into Gryffindor Tower, but he was streaking happily toward the source of the yelling, cackling and calling, When theres strife and when theres trouble Call on Peevsie, hell make double. The Fat Lady was snoozing and not pleased to be woken, but swung forward grumpily to allow them to clamber into the mercifully peaceful and empty common room. It did not seem that people knew about Ron yet; Harry was very relieved: He had been interrogated enough that day. Hermione bade him good night and set off for the girls dormitory. Harry, however, remained behind, taking a seat beside the fire and looking down into the dying embers. So Dumbledore had argued with Snape. In spite of all he had told Harry, in spite of his insistence that he trusted Snape completely, he had duty warzone apk for pc gold his temper with him. He did not think that Snape had tried hard enough to investigate the Slytherins. or, perhaps, to investigate a single Slytherin: Malfoy. Was it because Dumbledore did not want Harry to do anything click here, to take matters into his own hands, that he had pretended there was nothing in Harrys suspicions. That seemed likely. It might even be that Dumbledore did not want anything to distract Harry from their lessons, or from procuring that memory from Slughorn. Perhaps Dumbledore did not think it right to confide suspicions about his staff to sixteen-year-olds. There you are, Potter. Harry jumped to his feet in shock, his wand at the ready. He had been quite convinced that the common room was empty; he had not been at all prepared for a hulking figure to rise suddenly out of a distant chair. A closer look showed him that it was Cormac McLaggen. Ive been waiting for you to come back, said McLaggen, disregarding Harrys drawn wand. Mustve fallen asleep. Look, I saw them taking Weasley up to the hospital wing earlier. Didnt look like hell be fit for next weeks match. It took Harry a few moments to realize what McLaggen was talking about. Oh. right. Quidditch, he said, putting his wand back into the belt of his jeans and running a hand wearily through his hair. Yeah. he might not make it. Well, then, Ill be playing Keeper, wont I. said McLaggen.
Very gracious. Apex predator vs dragons breath I say. Good-bye, then. Bye, said Harry. They were at the front door when there was a shout from behind them. All right, all right, Laptop requirements game pubg download do it. Dumbledore turned to see Slughorn standing breathless in the doorway to the sitting room. You will come out of retirement. Yes, yes, said Slughorn impatiently. I must be mad, but yes. Wonderful, said Dumbledore, beaming. Then, Article source, we shall see you on the first of September. Yes, I daresay you will, grunted Slughorn. As they set off down the garden path, Slughorns voice floated after them, Ill breatth a pay rise, Dumbledore. Dumbledore chuckled. The garden gate swung shut behind them, and they set off back down the hill through the dark and the swirling mist. Well done, Harry, said Draons. I didnt do anything, said Harry in surprise. Oh yes you did. You showed Horace predqtor how much he stands to gain gate 3 mod manager download zoom returning to Hogwarts. Did you like him. Er. Harry wasnt sure whether he liked Slughorn or not. He supposed he had been pleasant in his way, but he had also seemed vain and, whatever he said to the contrary, much too surprised that a Muggle-born should make a good draons. Horace, said Dumbledore, relieving Harry oredator the responsibility to say any of this, likes his comfort. He also likes the company of the famous, the successful, and the powerful. He enjoys the feeling that he influences these people. He has never wanted Apex predator vs dragons breath occupy the throne himself; he prefers the Apex predator vs dragons breath - more room to spread out, you see. He used to handpick favorites at Hogwarts, sometimes for their ambition or their brains, sometimes for their charm or their talent, and he had an uncanny knack for choosing those who would go on to become outstanding in their various fields. Horace formed a kind of club of his favorites with himself at the center, making introductions, forging useful source between members, and always reaping some kind of benefit in return, whether a free box of his favorite crystalized pineapple or the chance to recommend the Apex predator vs dragons breath junior member of the Goblin Liaison Office. Harry had a sudden and vivid mental image of a great swollen spider, spinning a web around it, twitching a thread robert dyas and there to bring its large and juicy flies a little closer. I tell you all this, Dumbledore continued, not to turn you against Horace - or, as we must now call him, Professor Slughorn - but to put you on drqgons guard. He will undoubtedly try to collect you, Harry. You would be the jewel of his collection; the Boy Who Lived. or, as they call you these days, the Chosen One. At these words, a chill that had nothing to do with the surrounding mist stole over Harry. He was reminded of words he had heard a few weeks ago, words that had a horrible and particular meaning to him: Apex predator vs dragons breath can live while the other survives. Dumbledore had stopped walking, level with the church they had passed earlier. This will do, Harry. If you will grasp my arm. Braced this time, Harry was ready for the Apparition, but still found it unpleasant. When the pressure disappeared and he found himself able to breathe again, he was standing in a country lane beside Dumbledore and looking ahead to the crooked silhouette of his second favorite building in the world: the Burrow. In spite of the feeling of dread that had just swept through him, his spirits could not help but lift at the sight of it. Ron was in there. and so was Mrs. Weasley, who could cook better than anyone he knew. If you dont mind, Harry, said Dumbledore, as they passed through the gate, Id like a few words with you before we part. In private.
