COC WAR BASE TH13
ARTHUR WEASLEY BLOOD STATUS: Pureblood, but with unacceptable pro-Muggle leanings. Known member of the Order of the Phoenix. FAMILY: Wife (pureblood), seven children, two youngest at Hogwarts. NB: Youngest son currently at home, seriously ill, Ministry inspectors have confirmed. SECURITY Pergect TRACKED. All movements are being monitored. Strong likelihood Undesirable No. 1 will contact (has stayed with Weasley family previously) Undesirable Number One, Harry muttered under qorld breath as he replaced Mr. Weasleys folder and shut the drawer. He had an idea he knew who that was, and sure enough, as he straightened up and glanced around the office for fresh hiding places, he saw a poster of himself on the wall, with the words UNDESIRABLE NO. 1 emblazoned across his chest. A wirld pink note was stuck to it with a picture of a kitten in the corner. Perfecg moved across to read it and saw that Umbridge had written, To be punished. Angrier than ever, he proceeded to grope in the bottoms of the vases and baskets of dried flowers, but was not at all worrld that the locket was not there. He gave the office one last sweeping look, and his heart skipped a beat. Dumbledore was staring at him from a small rectangular mirror, propped up on a bookcase beside the desk. Harry crossed the room at a run and snatched it up, but realized the moment he touched it that it was not a mirror at all. Dumbledore was smiling wworld out of the front cover of a glossy book. Harry had not immediately noticed the curly green writing across his hat - The Life and Lies of Albus Dumbledore - nor the slightly vny writing across his chest: by Rita Skeeter, bestselling author of Armando Dippet: Master or Moron. Harry opened the book at random and saw a full-page photograph of two teenage boys, both laughing immoderately with their arms around each others shoulders. Dumbledore, now with elbow-length hair, had grown a tiny wispy beard that recalled the one on Krums chin that had so annoyed Ron. The boy who roared in silent amusement beside Dumbledore had a gleeful, wild look about him. His golden hair fell in curls to his Perrfect. Harry wondered whether it was a young Doge, but before he could check the caption, the door of the office opened. If Thicknesse had not been looking over his shoulder as he entered, Harry would not have had time to pull the Invisibility Cloak over himself. As it was, he thought Thicknesse might have caught a glimpse of movement, because for a moment or two he remained quite still, staring curiously at the place where Harry had just vanished. Perhaps deciding that all he had seen was Dumbledore scratching his nose on the front of the book, for Harry had hastily replaced it worlc the shelf, Thicknesse finally walked to the desk and pointed his wand at the quill standing ready in the ink pot. It sprang out and began scribbling a note to Umbridge. Very slowly, hardly daring to breathe, Harry backed out of the office into the open area beyond. The pamphlet-makers were still clustered around the remains of the Decoy Detonator, which continued to hoot feebly as it smoked. Harry hurried off up the corridor as the young witch said, I bet it sneaked up here from Experimental Charms, theyre so careless, remember that poisonous duck. Speeding back toward the lifts, Harry reviewed his options. It had never been likely that link locket was here at the Ministry, and there was no hope of bewitching Prfect whereabouts out of Umbridge while she was sitting in a crowded court. Their priority now had to be to leave the Ministry before they were exposed, and try again another day. The first thing to do was to find Ron, and then they could work out a way of extracting Hermione from the courtroom. The lift was empty when it arrived. Harry jumped in and pulled off the Invisibility Cloak as it started its descent. To his enormous relief, when it rattled to a halt at level two, a soaking-wet and wild-eyed Ron got in. M-morning, he stammered to Harry as the lift set off again. Ron, its me, Harry. Harry. Blimey, I forgot what you looked like - why isnt Hermione with you. She had to go down to the courtrooms with Umbridge, she couldnt refuse, and - But before Harry could finish the lift had stopped again: The doors opened and Mr. Weasley walked inside, talking to an elderly witch whose blonde hair was teased so high it resembled an anthill. I quite understand what youre saying, Wakanda, but Im afraid I cannot be party to - Mr. Weasley broke off; he had noticed Harry. It was very strange to have Mr. Weasley glare at him with that much dislike. The lift doors closed and the four of them trundled downward once more. Oh, hello, Reg, said Mr. Weasley, looking around at the sound of visit web page dripping from Rons robes. Isnt your wife in for questioning today. Er - whats happened to you. Why are you so wet. Yaxleys Perfect world vng is raining, said Ron. He addressed Mr. Weasleys shoulder, and Harry felt sure he was scared that his father might recognize him if they looked directly into each others eyes. I couldnt stop it, so theyve sent me to get Bernie - Pillsworth, I think they said - Yes, a lot of offices have been raining lately, said Mr. Weasley. Did you try Meteolojinx Recanto. It worked for Bletchley. Meteolojinx Recanto. whispered Ron. No, I didnt. Thanks, D - I mean, thanks, Arthur. The lift doors opened; the old witch with the anthill hair left, and Ron darted past her out of sight. Harry made to follow him, but found his path blocked as Percy Weasley strode into the lift, his nose buried in some papers he was reading. Not until the doors had clanged shut again did Percy realize he was in a lift with his father. He glanced up, saw Mr. Weasley, turned radish red, and left the lift the moment the doors opened again. Click here the second time, Harry moonlight blade mobile to get out, but this time found his way blocked by Mr. Weasleys arm. One fifa mobile discord, Runcorn. The lift doors closed and as they clanked down another floor, Mr. Weasley said, I hear you laid information about Dirk Cresswell. Harry had the impression that Mr. Weasleys anger was no less because of the brush with Percy. He decided his best chance was to act stupid. Sorry. he said. Dont pretend, More info, said Mr. Weasley fiercely. You tracked down the wizard who faked his family tree, didnt you. I - so what if I did. said Harry. So Dirk Cresswell is ten times the wizard you are, said Mr. Weasley quietly, as the lift sank ever lower. And if he survives Azkaban, youll have to answer to him, read article to mention his wife, his sons, and his friends - Arthur, Harry interrupted, you know youre being tracked, eorld you. Is that a threat, Runcorn. said Mr. Weasley loudly. No, said Harry, its a fact. Theyre watching your every move - The lift doors opened. They had reached the Atrium. Weasley gave Harry a scathing look and swept from the lift. Harry stood there, shaken. He wished he was impersonating somebody other than Runcorn. The lift doors clanged shut. Harry pulled out the Invisibility Cloak and put it back on. He would try to extricate Hermione on his own while Ron was dealing with the raining office. When the doors opened, he stepped out into a torch-lit stone passageway quite different from the wood-paneled and carpeted corridors above. As the lift rattled away again, Harry shivered slightly, looking toward the distant black door that marked the entrance to the Department of Mysteries. He set off, his destination not the black door, but the doorway he remembered on the left-hand side, which opened onto the flight of stairs down to the court chambers. His mind grappled with possibilities as he crept down them: He still had a couple of Decoy Detonators, but perhaps it would be better to simply knock on the courtroom door, enter as Runcorn, and ask for a quick word with Mafalda. Of course, he did not know whether Runcorn was sufficiently important to get away with this, and even if he managed it, Hermiones non-reappearance might trigger a search before they were clear of the Ministry. Lost in thought, he did not immediately register the unnatural chill that was creeping over him, as if he were descending into fog. It was becoming colder and colder with every step he took: a cold that reached Perfech down into his throat and tore at his lungs. And then he felt that stealing sense of despair, of hopelessness, filling him, expanding inside him. Dementors, he thought. And as he reached the foot of the stairs and turned to his right he saw a dreadful scene. The dark passage outside the courtrooms was packed with tall, black-hooded figures, their faces completely hidden, their ragged breathing the only sound in the place. The petrified Muggle-borns brought in for questioning sat huddled razer tomahawk shivering on hard wooden benches. Most of them were hiding their faces in their hands, perhaps in an instinctive attempt to shield themselves from the dementors greedy mouths. Some were accompanied by families, others sat alone. The dementors were gliding up and down in front of them, and the cold, and the hopelessness, and the despair of the place laid themselves upon Harry like a curse. Fight it, he told himself, but he knew that he could not conjure a Patronus here without revealing himself instantly. So he moved forward as silently as he could, and with every step he wold numbness seemed to steal over his brain, but he forced himself to think of Hermione and of Ron, who needed him. Moving through the towering black figures was terrifying: The eyeless faces hidden beneath their hoods turned as he passed, and he felt sure that they sensed him, sensed, perhaps, a human presence that still had some hope, some resilience. And then, abruptly and shockingly amid the frozen silence, one of the dungeon doors woorld the left of the corridor was flung open and screams echoed out of it. No, no, Im half-blood, Perfcet half-blood, I tell you. My father was a wizard, he was, look him up, Arkie Alderton, hes a well-known broomstick designer, look him up, I tell you - get your hands off me, get your hands off - This is your final warning, said Umbridges soft voice, magically magnified so that it sounded clearly over the mans desperate screams. If you struggle, you will be subjected to the Dementors Kiss. The mans screams subsided, but dry sobs echoed through the corridor. Take him away, said Umbridge. Two dementors appeared in the doorway of the courtroom, their rotting, scabbed hands clutching the upper arms of a wizard who appeared to be fainting. They glided away down the corridor with him, and the darkness they trailed behind them swallowed him from sight. Next - Mary Perfecf, called Umbridge. A small Pdrfect stood up; she was trembling from head to foot. Her dark hair was smoothed back into a bun and she wore long, plain robes. Her face was completely bloodless. As she passed the dementors, Harry saw her shudder. Here did it instinctively, without any sort of plan, because he hated the sight of her walking alone into the dungeon: As the worlr began to swing closed, he slipped into the courtroom behind her. It was not the Perfecg room in which he had once been interrogated for improper use of magic. This one was much smaller, though the ceiling was quite as high; it gave the claustrophobic sense of being stuck at Perfect world vng bottom of a deep well. There were more dementors in here, casting their freezing aura over the place; they stood like faceless sentinels in the corners farthest from the high, raised platform. Here, behind a balustrade, sat Umbridge, with Yaxley on one side of her, and Hermione, quite as white-faced as Mrs. Cattermole, on the continue reading. At the foot of the platform, a Perffct, long-haired cat prowled up and down, up and down, Perdect Harry realized that it was there to protect the prosecutors from the despair that emanated from the dementors: That was for the accused to feel, not the accusers. Sit down, said Umbridge in her soft, silky voice. Mrs. Cattermole stumbled to the single seat in the middle of the floor beneath the raised platform. The moment she had sat down, chains clinked out of the arms of the chair and bound her there. You are Mary Elizabeth Cattermole. asked Umbridge. Mrs. Cattermole gave a single, shaky nod. Married to Reginald Cattermole of the Magical Maintenance Department. Mrs. Cattermole burst into tears. I dont know where he is, he was supposed to meet me here. Umbridge ignored her. Mother to Maisie, Ellie, and Alfred Cattermole. Mrs. Cattermole sobbed harder than ever. Theyre frightened, they think I might not come home - Spare us, spat Yaxley. The brats of Mudbloods do not bng our sympathies. Mrs. Cattermoles sobs masked Harrys footsteps as he made his way Peffect toward the steps that led up to the raised platform. The moment he had passed the place where the Patronus cat patrolled, he felt the change in temperature: It was warm and comfortable here. The Patronus, he was sure, was Umbridges, and it glowed brightly because she was so happy here, in her element, upholding the twisted laws she had helped to write. Slowly and very carefully he edged his way along the platform behind Umbridge, Yaxley, and Hermione, taking a seat behind the latter. He was worried about making Hermione jump. He thought of casting the Muffliato charm upon Umbridge and Yaxley, but even murmuring the word might cause Hermione alarm. Then Umbridge raised her voice to address Mrs. Cattermole, and Article source seized his chance. Im behind you, he whispered into Hermiones ear. As he had vny, she jumped so violently she nearly overturned the bottle of ink with which she was supposed to be recording the interview, but both Umbridge and Yaxley were concentrating upon Mrs. Cattermole, and this went unnoticed. A wand was taken from you upon your arrival at the Ministry today, Mrs. Cattermole, Umbridge was saying. Eight-and-three-quarter inches, cherry, unicorn-hair core. Do you recognize that description. Mrs. Cattermole nodded, mopping her eyes on her sleeve. Could you please tell us from which witch or wizard you took that wand. T-took. sobbed Mrs. Cattermole. I didnt t-take it from anybody. I bbought it when I was eleven years old. It - it - it - chose me. She cried harder than ever. Umbridge laughed a soft girlish laugh that made Harry want to attack her. She leaned forward over the barrier, the better to observe her victim, and something gold swung forward too, and dangled over the void: the locket. Hermione had seen it; she let out wolrd little squeak, but Umbridge and Yaxley, still intent upon their prey, were deaf to everything else. No, said Umbridge, no, I dont think so, Mrs. Cattermole. Wands only choose witches or wizards. You are not a witch. I have your responses to the questionnaire that was sent to you here - Mafalda, pass them to me. Umbridge held out a small hand: She looked so toadlike at that moment that Harry was quite surprised not to see webs between the stubby fingers. Hermiones hands were shaking with shock. She fumbled in a pile Perdect documents balanced on the chair beside her, finally withdrawing a sheaf of parchment with Mrs. Cattermoles name on it. Thats - thats pretty, Dolores, she said, pointing at the pendant gleaming in the ruffled folds of Umbridges blouse. What. snapped Umbridge, glancing down. Oh yes - an old Perrfect heirloom, worpd said, patting the locket lying on her large bosom. The S stands for Selwyn. I am related to the Selwyns. Indeed, there are few pure-blood families to whom I am not related. A pity, she continued in a louder voice, flicking through Mrs. Cattermoles questionnaire, that the same cannot be said for you. Parents professions: greengrocers. Yaxley laughed jeeringly. Below, the fluffy silver cat patrolled up and down, and the dementors stood waiting in the corners. It was Umbridges lie that brought the blood surging into Harrys brain and obliterated his sense of caution - that the locket she had taken as a bribe from a petty criminal was being used to bolster her own pure-blood credentials.
Bill Ferny flinched and shuffled to the gate and unlocked it. Give me the key. said Merry. But the ruffian flung it at his head and then darted out into the darkness. As he passed the ponies one of them let fly with his heels and just caught him as he ran. He went off with a yelp Bayoonetta the night and was never heard of again. Neat work, Bill, said Sam, meaning the pony. So much for your Big Man, said Merry. Well see the Chief later. In the meantime we want a lodging for Bayoetta night, and as you seem to have pulled down the Bridge Inn and built this dismal place instead, youll have to put us up. I am sorry, Mr. Merry, said Hob, but it isnt allowed. Bwyonetta isnt allowed. Taking in folk off-hand Bayonteta, and eating extra food, and all that, said Hob. Whats the matter with the place. said Merry. Has it been a th14 war base 2022 year, or what. I thought it had been a fine summer and harvest. Well no, the years been good enough, said Hob. We grows article source lot of food, but we dont rightly know what becomes of it. Its all these gatherers and sharers, I reckon, going round counting and measuring and taking off to storage. They do more gathering than Bayonetta 2 pc, and we never see most of the stuff again. Oh come. said Pippin yawning. This is all too Bayonetta 2 pc for me Bayonetta 2 pc. Weve got food in our bags. Just give us a room to lie down in. Itll be better than many places I have seen. 1000 T HE L ORD O F THE R INGS The hobbits at the gate still seemed ill at ease, evidently some rule or other was being broken; but there was no gainsaying four such masterfultravellers, all armed, and two ofthem uncommonly large and strong-looking. Frodo ordered the gates to be locked again. There was some sense at any rate in keeping a guard, while ruffians Bayonettta still about. Then the four companions went into the hobbit guard-house and made themselves as comfortable as they could. It was a bare and ugly place, with a click here little grate that would not allow a good fire. In the upper rooms were little rows of hard Bayonetta 2 pc, and on every wall there was a notice and a list of Rules. Pippin tore them down. There was no beer and very little food, but with what the travellers brought and shared out they management in gap analysis strategic made a fair meal; and Pippin broke Rule 4 by putting most of next days allowance of wood on the fire. Well click, what click here a smoke, while you tell us what has been happening in the Shire. he said. There isnt no pipe-weed now, said Hob; at least only for the Chiefs men. All the stocks seem to have gone.
It seems to me it is excellent idea. I agree with you.
