Harry pulled the Invisibility Cloak over himself and descended gamrs the floors, at last walking down the marble staircase into the entrance hall. Perhaps some tiny part of him hoped to be sensed, to be seen, to be stopped, but the Cloak was, as ever, impenetrable, perfect, and he reached the front doors easily. Then Neville nearly walked into him. He was one half of a pair that was carrying a body in from the grounds. Harry glanced down and felt another dull blow to his stomach: Colin Creevey, though underage, must have sneaked back just as Malfoy, Crabbe, and Goyle had done. He was tiny in death. You know what. I can manage him alone, Neville, said Oliver Wood, and he heaved Colin over his shoulder in a firemans lift and carried him into the Great Hall. Neville leaned against the door frame for a moment and wiped his forehead with the back of his hand. He looked like an old man. Then he set off down the steps again into the darkness to recover more bodies. Harry took one glance back at the entrance of the Great Hames. People were moving around, trying to comfort each click at this page, drinking, kneeling beside the dead, but he could Blood games pc see any of the people he loved, no hint of Gamess, Ron, Ginny, or any of the other Weasleys, no Luna. He felt he would have given all the time remaining to him for just one last look at them; but then, would he ever have the strength to stop looking. It was better like this. He moved down the steps and out into the darkness. It was nearly four in the morning, and the deathly stillness of the pd felt as though they were holding their breath, waiting to see whether he could do what he must. Harry moved toward Neville, who was bending over another body. Neville. Blimey, Harry, you nearly gave me heart failure. Harry gmaes pulled off the Cloak: The idea had come to him out agmes nowhere, born out of a desire to make absolutely sure. Where are you going, alone. Neville asked suspiciously. Its all part of the plan, said Harry. Theres something Ive got to do. Listen - Neville - Harry. Neville looked suddenly scared. Harry, youre not Blood games pc of handing yourself over. No, Harry lied easily. Course not. this is something else. But I might be out of sight for a while. You know Voldemorts snake, Neville. Hes got a huge snake. Calls it Nagini. Ive heard, yeah. What about it. Its got to be killed. Ron and Hermione know that, but just in case they - The awfulness of that possibility smothered him for a moment, made it impossible to keep talking. But he pulled himself together again: This was crucial, he must be like Dumbledore, keep a cool head, make sure there were backups, others to carry on. Dumbledore had died knowing that three people still knew about the Horcruxes; now Neville would take Harrys place: There would still be three in the secret. Just in case theyre - busy gamew and you get the chance - Kill the snake. Kill the snake, Harry repeated. All right, Harry. Youre okay, are you. Im fine. Thanks, Neville. But Neville seized his wrist as Harry made to move on. Were all going to keep fighting, Harry. You know that. Yeah, I - The suffocating feeling extinguished the end of the sentence; he could not go Blooe. Neville did not seem to find it strange. He patted Harry on the shoulder, released him, and walked away to look for more bodies. Harry swung the Cloak back over himself and walked on. Someone else was moving not far away, stooping over another prone figure on the ground. He was feet away from her when he realized gams was Ginny. He stopped in his tracks. She was crouching over a girl who was whispering for her mother. Its all right, Ginny was saying. Its okay. Were going to get you inside. But I want to go home, whispered the girl. Gaems dont want to fight anymore. I know, said Ginny, and her voice broke. Its going to be all right. Ripples of cold undulated over Harrys skin. He wanted to shout out to the night, he wanted Ginny to know that he was there, he wanted her to know where he was going. He wanted to be stopped, to be dragged back, to be sent back home. But he was home. Hogwarts was the first and best home he had known. He and Voldemort and Snape, the abandoned boys, had all found home here. Ginny was kneeling beside the injured girl now, holding her hand. With a huge effort Harry forced himself on. He thought he saw Ginny look around as he passed, and wondered whether she had sensed someone walking nearby, but he did not speak, and he did not look back. Hagrids hut loomed out of the darkness. There were no lights, no sound of Fang scrabbling at the door, his bark booming in welcome. All those visits to Hagrid, and the gleam of the copper kettle on the fire, and rock cakes and giant grubs, and his great bearded face, and Ron vomiting slugs, and Hermione helping him save Norbert. He moved on, and now he reached the edge of the forest, and he stopped. A swarm of dementors was gliding amongst the trees; he could feel their chill, and he was not sure he would be able to pass safely Bloid it. He had no strength left for a Patronus. He could no longer control his own trembling. It was not, after all, so easy to die. Every second he breathed, the smell of the grass, the cool air on his face, was so precious: To think that people had years and years, time to waste, so much time it dragged, and he was clinging to each second. At the same time he thought that he would not be able to go on, and knew that he must. The long game was ended, the Snitch had been caught, it was time to leave the air. The Snitch. His nerveless fingers fumbled for a moment with the pouch at his neck and he pulled it out. I open at the close. Breathing fast and hard, he stared down at it. Now that he wanted time to move as slowly as possible, it seemed to have sped up, and understanding was coming so fast it seemed to have bypassed thought. This was the close. This was the moment. He pressed Bloos golden metal to his lips and whispered, I am about to die. The metal shell broke open. He lowered his shaking hand, raised Dracos wand beneath the Cloak, and murmured, Lumos. BBlood black stone with its jagged crack running down the center sat in the two halves of the Snitch. The Resurrection Stone had cracked down the vertical line representing the Elder Wand. The triangle and circle representing the Cloak and the stone were click the following article discernible. And again Harry understood without having to think. It did not matter about bringing them back, for he was about to join them. He was not really fetching them: They were fetching him. He closed his eyes and turned the stone over in his hand three times. He knew it had happened, because he heard slight movements around him that suggested frail bodies shifting their footing on the earthy, twig-strewn ground that marked the outer edge of the forest. He opened his eyes and looked around. They were neither ghost nor truly flesh, he could see that. They resembled most closely the Riddle that had escaped from the diary so long ago, and he had been memory made nearly solid. Less substantial than living bodies, but much more than ghosts, they moved toward him, and on each face, there was the same loving smile. James was exactly Blood games pc same height as Harry. He was wearing the clothes in which he had died, and his hair was untidy and ruffled, and his glasses were a little lopsided, like Mr. Weasleys. Sirius was tall and handsome, and younger by far than Harry had seen him agmes life. He loped with an easy grace, his hands in his pockets and a grin on his face. Lupin was younger too, and much less shabby, and his hair was thicker and darker. He looked happy to be gamds in this familiar place, scene of so many adolescent wanderings. Lilys smile was widest of all. She pushed her long hair back as she drew close to him, and her green eyes, so like his, searched his face hungrily, as though she would never be able to look at him enough. Youve been so brave. He could not speak. His eyes feasted on her, and he thought that he would like to stand and look at her forever, and that would be enough. You are nearly there, said James. Very close. We are. so proud of you. Does it hurt. Ggames childish question had fallen from Harrys lips before he could stop it. Dying. Not at all, said Sirius. Quicker and easier than falling asleep. And he will want it to be quick. He wants it over, said Lupin. I didnt want you to die, Harry said. These words came without his volition. Any of you. Im sorry - He addressed Lupin more than any of them, beseeching him. - right after youd had your son. Remus, Im sorry - I am sorry too, said Lupin. Sorry I will never know him. but he will know why I died and I hope he will understand. I was trying to make a world in which he could live a happier life. A chilly breeze that seemed to emanate from the heart of the forest lifted the hair at Harrys brow. He knew that they would not tell him pcc go, that it would have to be his decision. Youll stay with me. Until the very end, said James. They wont be able to see you. asked Harry. We are part of you, said Sirius. Invisible to anyone else. Harry looked at his mother. Stay close to me, he said quietly. And he set off. The dementors chill did not overcome him; he passed through it gamfs his companions, and they acted like Patronuses to him, and together they marched through the old trees that grew closely together, their branches tangled, their roots gnarled and twisted underfoot. Harry clutched the Cloak tightly around him in the darkness, traveling deeper and deeper into the forest, with no idea where exactly Voldemort was, but sure that he would find him. Beside him, making scarcely a sound, walked James, Sirius, Lupin, and Blod, and their presence was his courage, and the reason he was able to keep putting one foot in front of the other. His body and mind felt oddly disconnected now, his limbs working without conscious instruction, as if he were passenger, not driver, in the body he was about to leave. The dead who walked beside him through the forest were much more real to him now than the living back at the castle: Ron, Hermione, Ginny, and all the others were the ones who felt like ghosts as he stumbled and slipped toward the end of his life, toward Voldemort. A thud and a whisper: Some other living creature had stirred close by. Harry stopped under the Cloak, peering around, listening, and his mother and father, Lupin and Sirius stopped too. Someone there, came a rough whisper close at hand. Hes got an Invisibility Cloak. Could it be -. Two figures emerged from behind a nearby tree: Their wands flared, and Harry Blooe Yaxley and Dolohov peering into the darkness, directly at the place Harry, his mother and father and Sirius and Lupin stood. Apparently they could not gamez anything. Definitely heard something, said Yaxley. Animal, dyou reckon. That head case Hagrid kept a whole bunch of stuff in here, said Dolohov, glancing over his shoulder. Yaxley looked down at his watch. Times nearly up. Potters had his hour. Hes not coming. And he was sure hed come. He wont be happy. Better go back, said Yaxley. Find out what the plan is now. He and Dolohov turned and walked deeper into the forest. Harry followed them, knowing that they would Bllod him exactly where he wanted to go. He glanced sideways, and his mother smiled at him, and his father nodded encouragement. They had traveled on mere minutes when Harry saw light ahead, and Yaxley and Dolohov stepped out into a clearing that Harry knew had been the place where the monstrous Aragog had once lived. The remnants of his vast web were there still, but the swarm of descendants he had spawned had been driven out by the Death Eaters, to fight for their cause. A fire burned in the middle of the clearing, and its flickering light fell over a crowd of completely silent, watchful Death Eaters. Some of gxmes were still masked and hooded; others showed their faces. Two giants sat on the outskirts of the group, casting massive shadows over the scene, their faces cruel, rough-hewn like rock. Harry saw Fenrir, skulking, chewing his long nails; click the following article great blond Rowle was dabbing at his bleeding lip. He saw Lucius Malfoy, who looked defeated gamed terrified, and Narcissa, whose eyes were sunken and full of apprehension. Every eye was fixed upon Voldemort, who stood with his head bowed, and his white hands folded over the Elder Wand in front of him. He might have been praying, or else counting silently gamess his mind, and Harry, standing still on the edge of the scene, thought absurdly of a child counting in a game of hide-and-seek. Behind his head, still swirling and coiling, the great snake Nagini floated in her glittering, charmed cage, like a monstrous halo. When Dolohov and Yaxley rejoined the circle, Voldemort looked up. No sign of him, my Lord, said Dolohov. Voldemorts expression did not change. The red eyes seemed to burn in the firelight. Slowly he drew the Elder Wand between his long fingers. My Lord - Bellatrix had spoken: She sat closest to Voldemort, disheveled, her face a little bloody but otherwise unharmed. Voldemort raised his hand to silence her, and she did not speak another word, but gqmes him in worshipful fascination. I thought he would come, said Voldemort in his high, clear voice, his eyes on the leaping flames. I expected him to come. Nobody spoke. They seemed as scared as Harry, whose heart was now throwing itself against his ribs as though determined to escape the body he was about to cast aside. His hands were sweating where harley mobile legends have he pulled off the Invisibility Cloak and stuffed it beneath his robes, with his wand. He did not want to be tempted to fight. I was, it seems. mistaken, said Voldemort. You werent. Harry said it as loudly as he could, with all the force he could muster: He did not want to sound afraid. The Resurrection Stone slipped from between his numb fingers, and out of the corner of his eyes he saw his parents, Sirius, and Lupin vanish as he stepped forward into the firelight. At that moment he felt that nobody mattered but Voldemort. It was just the two of them. The illusion was gone as soon as it had come. The giants roared as the Death Eaters rose together, and there were many cries, gasps, even laughter. Voldemort had frozen where he stood, but ;c red eyes had found Harry, and he stared as Harry moved toward him, with nothing but the fire between them. Then a voice yelled: HARRY. He turned: Hagrid was bound and trussed, tied to a tree nearby. His massive body shook the branches overhead as he struggled, desperate. HARRY, WHATRE YEH -. QUIET. shouted Rowle, and article source a flick of his wand Hagrid was silenced. Bellatrix, who had leapt to her feet, was looking eagerly from Voldemort to Harry, her breast heaving. The only things that moved were the flames and the snake, coiling and uncoiling in the glittering cage behind Voldemorts head. Harry could feel his wand against his chest, but he made no attempt to draw it. He knew that the snake was too well protected, knew that if he managed to point the wand at Nagini, fifty curses would hit him first. And still, Voldemort and Harry looked at each other, and now Voldemort tilted his head a little to Bllood side, considering the boy standing before him, and a singularly mirthless smile curled gamse lipless mouth. Harry Potter, he said very softly. His voice Bloodd have been part of the spitting fire. The Boy Who Lived. None of the Death Eaters moved. They were waiting: Everything was waiting. Hagrid was struggling, and Bellatrix was panting, and Harry thought inexplicably of Ginny, and her blazing look, and the feel of her lips on his - Voldemort had raised his wand. His head was still tilted to one side, like a curious child, wondering what would happen if he proceeded. Harry looked back into the red eyes, and wanted it to happen now, quickly, while he could still stand, before he lost control, before he betrayed fear - He saw the mouth move and a flash of green light, and everything was gone. H CHAPTER THIRTY-FIVE KINGS CROSS e lay facedown, listening to the silence. Blood games pc was perfectly alone. Nobody was watching. Nobody else was there. He was not perfectly sure that he was there himself. A long time later, or maybe no time at all, it came to him that he must exist, must be more than disembodied thought, because he was lying, definitely lying, gamees some surface. Therefore he had a sense of touch, and the thing against which he lay existed too. Almost gtm plan soon as he had reached this conclusion, Harry became conscious that he was naked. Convinced as he was of his total solitude, this did not concern him, but it did intrigue him slightly. He wondered whether, as he could feel, he would be able to see.
Instinctive, you know - like his mother. Ive only ever taught a few with this kind of ability, I can tell you that, Sybill - why even Severus - And to Harrys horror, Slughorn threw out an arm and seemed to scoop Snape out of thin air toward them. Stop skulking and come and join us, Severus. hiccuped Slughorn happily. I was just talking about Harrys exceptional potion-making. Some credit must go to you, of course, you taught him for five years. Trapped, with Slughorns arm around his shoulders, Snape looked down his hooked nose at Harry, his black eyes narrowed. Funny, I never had the impression that I managed to teach Potter anything at all. Well, then, its natural ability. shouted Slughorn. You should have seen what he gave me, first lesson, Draught of Living Death - never had a student produce finer on a first attempt, I dont think even you, Severus - Really. said Snape quietly, his eyes still boring into Harry, who felt a certain disquiet. The last thing he wanted was for Snape to start investigating the source of his newfound brilliance at Potions. Click to see more me what other subjects youre taking, Harry. asked Slughorn. Defense Against the Dark Arts, Charms, Transfiguration, Herbology. All the subjects required, in short, for an Auror, said Snape, with the faintest sneer. Yeah, well, thats what Id like to do, said Harry defiantly. And a great one youll make too. boomed Slughorn. I dont think you should be an Auror, Harry, said Luna unexpectedly. Everybody looked at her. The Aurors are part of the Rotfang Conspiracy, I thought everyone knew that. Theyre working to bring down the Ministry of Magic from within using Stick war 3 mod combination of Dark Magic and gum disease. Harry inhaled half his mead up his nose as he started to laugh. Really, it had been worth link Luna just for this. Emerging from his kazino, coughing, sopping wet but still grinning, he saw something calculated to raise his spirits even higher: Draco Malfoy being dragged by the ear toward them by Argus Filch. Professor Slughorn, wheezed Filch, his jowls aquiver and the maniacal light of mischief-detection in his bulging eyes, I discovered this boy lurking in an upstairs corridor. He claims to have been invited to your party and to have been delayed in setting out. Did you issue him with an invitation. Malfoy pulled himself free of Filchs grip, looking furious. All right, I wasnt invited. he said angrily. I was trying to gate-crash, happy. No, Im not. said Filch, a statement at complete odds with the glee on his face. Youre in trouble, you are. Didnt the headmaster say that nighttime prowlings out, unless youve got permission, didnt he, eh. Thats all right, Argus, thats all right, said Slughorn, waving a hand. Its Christmas, and its not a crime to want to come to a party. Just this once, well forget any punishment; you may stay, Draco. Filchs expression of outraged disappointment was perfectly predictable; but why, Harry wondered, watching him, did Malfoy look reversi equally unhappy. And why was Snape looking at Malfoy as though both angry and. was it possible. a little afraid. But almost before Harry had registered what he had seen, Filch had turned and shuffled away, muttering under his breath; Malfoy had composed his face into a smile and was thanking Slughorn for his generosity, and Snapes face was smoothly inscrutable again. Its nothing, nothing, said Slughorn, waving away Malfoys Stick war 3 mod. I did know your grandfather, after all. He always spoke very highly of you, sir, said Malfoy quickly. Said you were the best potion-maker hed ever known. Harry stared at Malfoy. It was not the sucking-up that intrigued him; he had watched Malfoy do that to Snape for a long time. It was the fact that Malfoy did, after all, look a little ill. This was the first time he had seen Malfoy close up for ages; he now saw that Malfoy had dark shadows under Stick war 3 mod eyes and a distinctly grayish tinge to his skin. Id like a word with you, Draco, said Snape suddenly. Oh, now, Severus, said Slughorn, hiccuping again, its Christmas, dont be too hard - Im his Head of House, and I shall decide how hard, or otherwise, to be, said Snape curtly. Follow me, Draco. They left, Snape leading the way, Malfoy looking resentful. Harry stood there for a moment, irresolute, then said, Ill be here in a bit, Luna - er - bathroom. All right, she said cheerfully, and he thought he heard her, as he hurried off into the crowd, resume the subject of the Rotfang Conspiracy with Professor Trelawney, who seemed sincerely interested. It was easy, once out of the party, to pull his Invisibility Cloak out of his pocket and throw it over himself, for the corridor was quite deserted. What was more difficult was finding Snape and Malfoy. Harry ran down the corridor, the noise of his feet masked by the music and loud talk still issuing from Slughorns office behind him. Perhaps Snape had taken Malfoy to his office in the dungeons. or perhaps he was escorting him back to the Slytherin common link. Harry pressed his ear against door after door as he dashed down the corridor until, Stick war 3 mod a great jolt of excitement, he crouched down to the keyhole of the last classroom in the corridor and heard voices. cannot afford mistakes, Draco, because if you are expelled - I didnt have anything to do with it, all right. I hope you are telling the truth, because it was both clumsy and foolish. Already you are suspected of having a hand in it. Who suspects me. said Malfoy angrily. For the last time, I didnt do it, okay. That Bell girl mustve had an enemy no one knows about - dont look at me like that. I know what youre doing, Im not stupid, but it wont work - I can stop you. There was a pause and then Snape said quietly, Ah. Aunt Bellatrix has been teaching you Occlumency, I see. What thoughts are Stick war 3 mod trying to conceal from your master, Draco. Please click for source not trying read more conceal anything from him, I just dont want you butting in. Harry pressed his ear still more closely against the keyhole. What had happened to make Malfoy speak to Snape like this - Snape, toward whom he had always shown respect, even liking. So that is why you have been avoiding me this term. You have feared my interference. You realize that, had anybody else failed to come to my office when I had told them repeatedly to be there, Draco - So put me in detention. Report me to Dumbledore. jeered Malfoy. There was another pause. Then Snape said, You know perfectly well that I do not wish to do either of those things. Youd better stop telling me to come to your office then. Listen to me, said Snape, his voice so low now that Harry had to push his ear very hard against the keyhole to hear. I am trying to help you. I swore to your mother I link Stick war 3 mod you. I made the Unbreakable Vow, Draco - Looks like youll have to break it, then, because I dont need your protection. Its my job, he gave it to me and Im doing it, Ive got a plan and its going to work, its just taking a bit longer than I thought it would. What is your plan. Its none of your business. If you tell me what you are trying to do, I can assist you - Ive got all the assistance I need, thanks, Im not alone. You were certainly alone tonight, which was foolish in the extreme, wandering the corridors without lookouts or backup, these are elementary mistakes - I wouldve had Crabbe and Goyle with me if you hadnt put them in detention.
