FOCUS STRATEGY
Its really good of you to do this. Theyre through here, my aunt and uncle and cousin. Good day to you, Harry Potters relatives. said Dedalus happily, striding into the living room. The Dursleys did not look at all happy to be addressed thus; Harry half expected another change of mind. Dudley shrank nearer to his mother at the sight of the witch and wizard. I see you are packed and ready. Excellent. The plan, as Harry has told you, is a simple one, said Dedalus, pulling an immense pocket watch out of his waistcoat and examining it. We shall be leaving before Harry does. Due to the danger of using magic in your house - Harry being still underage, it could provide the Ministry with an excuse to arrest him - we shall be driving, say, ten miles or so, before Disapparating to the safe location we have picked out for you. You know how to drive, I take it. he asked Uncle Vernon politely. Know how to -. Of course I ruddy well know how to drive. spluttered Uncle Vernon. Very clever of you, sir, very clever, I personally would be utterly bamboozled by all those buttons and knobs, said Dedalus. He was clearly under the impression that he was flattering Vernon Dursley, who was visibly losing confidence in the plan with every word Dedalus spoke. Cant even drive, he muttered under his breath, his mustache rippling indignantly, but fortunately neither Dedalus nor Hestia seemed to hear him. You, Harry, Dedalus continued, will wait here for your guard. There has been a little change in the arrangements - What dyou mean. said Harry at once. I thought Mad-Eye was going to come and take me by Side-Along-Apparition. Cant do it, said Hestia tersely. Mad-Eye will explain. The Dursleys, who had listened to all of this with looks of utter incomprehension on their faces, jumped as a loud voice screeched, Hurry up. Harry looked all around the room before realizing that the voice had issued from Dedaluss pocket watch. Quite right, were operating to a very tight schedule, said Dedalus, nodding at his watch and tucking it back into his waistcoat. We are attempting to time your departure from the house with your familys Disapparition, Harry; thus, the charm breaks at the moment you all head for safety. He turned to the Dursleys. Well, are we all packed and ready to go. None of them answered him. Uncle Vernon was still staring, appalled, at the bulge in Dedaluss waistcoat pocket. Perhaps we should wait outside in the hall, Dedalus, murmured Hestia. She clearly felt that it would be tactless for them to remain in the room while Harry and the Read article exchanged loving, possibly tearful farewells. Theres no need, Harry muttered, but Uncle Vernon made any further explanation unnecessary by saying loudly, Well, this is good-bye, then, boy. He swung his right arm upward to shake Harrys hand, but at the last moment seemed unable to face it, and merely closed this web page fist and began swinging it backward and forward like a metronome. Ready, Diddy. asked Aunt Petunia, fussily checking the clasp of her handbag so as to avoid looking at Harry altogether. Dudley did not answer, but stood gt legends with his mouth slightly ajar, reminding Harry a little of the giant, Grawp. Come along, then, Game pass pc diablo 4 Uncle Vernon. He had already reached the living room door when Dudley mumbled, I dont understand. What dont you understand, popkin. asked Aunt Petunia, looking up at her son. Dudley raised a click the following article, hamlike hand to point at Harry. Why isnt he coming with us. Uncle Vernon and Aunt Petunia froze where they stood, staring at Dudley as though he had just expressed a desire to become a ballerina. What. said Uncle Vernon loudly. Why isnt he coming too. asked Dudley. Well, he - he doesnt want to, said Uncle Go here, turning to glare at Harry and adding, You dont want to, do you. Not in the slightest, said Harry. There you are, Uncle Vernon told Dudley. Now come on, were off. He marched out of the room. They heard the front door open, but Dudley did not move and after a few faltering steps Aunt Petunia stopped too. What now. barked Uncle Vernon, reappearing in the doorway. It seemed that Dudley was struggling with concepts too difficult to put into words. After several moments of apparently painful internal struggle he said, But wheres he going to go. Aunt Petunia and Uncle Vernon looked at each other. It was clear that Dudley was frightening them. Hestia Jones broke the silence. But. surely you know where your nephew is going. she asked, looking bewildered. Certainly we know, said Vernon Dursley. Hes off with some of your lot, isnt he. Right, Dudley, lets get in the car, you heard the man, were in a hurry. Again, Grand theft auto v Dursley marched as far as the front door, but Dudley did not follow. Off with some of our lot. Hestia looked outraged. Harry had met this attitude before: Witches and wizards seemed stunned that his closest living relatives took so little interest in the famous Harry Potter. Its fine, Harry assured her. It doesnt matter, honestly. Doesnt matter. repeated Hestia, her voice rising ominously. Dont these people realize what youve been through. What danger you are in. The unique position you hold in the hearts of the anti-Voldemort movement. Er - no, they dont, said Harry. They think Im a waste of space, actually, but Im used to - I dont think youre a waste of space. If Harry had not seen Dudleys lips move, he might not have believed it. As it was, he stared at Dudley for several seconds before accepting that it must have been his cousin who had spoken; for one thing, This web page had turned red. Harry was embarrassed and astonished himself. Well. er. thanks, Dudley. Again, Dudley appeared to grapple with thoughts too unwieldy for expression before mumbling, You saved my life. Not really, said Harry. It was your soul the dementor would have taken. He looked curiously at his cousin. They had had virtually no contact during this summer or last, as Harry had come back to Privet Drive so briefly and kept to his room so much. It now dawned on Harry, however, that the cup of cold tea on which he had trodden that morning might not have been a booby trap at all. Although rather touched, he was nevertheless quite relieved that Dudley appeared to have exhausted his ability to express his feelings. After opening his mouth once or twice more, Dudley subsided into scarlet-faced silence. Aunt Petunia burst into tears. Hestia Jones gave her an approving look that changed to outrage as Aunt Petunia ran forward and embraced Dudley rather than Harry. S-so sweet, Dudders. she sobbed into his massive chest. S-such a lovely b-boy. s-saying thank you. But he hasnt said thank you at all. said Hestia indignantly. He only said he didnt think Harry was a waste of space. Yeah, but coming from Dudley thats like I love you, said Harry, torn between annoyance and a desire to laugh as Aunt Petunia continued to clutch at Dudley as if he had just saved Harry from a burning building. Are we going or not. roared Uncle Vernon, reappearing yet again at the living room door. I thought we were on a tight schedule. Speaking, techniques of controlling mistake - yes, we are, said Dedalus Diggle, who had been watching Game pass pc diablo 4 exchanges with an air of bemusement and now seemed to pull himself together. We really must be off. Harry - He tripped forward and wrung Harrys hand with both of his own. - good luck. I hope we meet again. The hopes of the Wizarding world rest upon your shoulders. Oh, said Harry, right. Thanks. Farewell, Harry, said Hestia, also clasping his hand. Our thoughts go with you. I hope everythings okay, said Harry with a glance toward Aunt Petunia and Dudley. Oh, Im sure we shall end up the best of chums, said Diggle brightly, waving his hat as he left the room. Mail pc ru gaming followed him. Dudley gently released himself from his mothers clutches and walked toward Harry, who had to repress an urge to threaten him with magic. Then Dudley held out his large, pink hand. Blimey, Dudley, said Harry over Aunt Petunias renewed sobs, did the dementors blow a different personality into you. Dunno, muttered Dudley. See you, Harry. Yeah. said Harry, taking Dudleys hand and shaking it. Maybe. Take care, Big D. Dudley nearly smiled, then lumbered from the room. Harry heard his heavy footfalls on the graveled drive, and then a car door slammed. Aunt Petunia, whose face had been buried in her handkerchief, looked around at the sound. She did not seem to have expected to find herself alone with Harry. Hastily stowing her wet handkerchief into her pocket, she said, Well - good-bye, and marched toward the door without looking at him. Good-bye, said Harry. She stopped and looked back. For a moment Harry had the strangest feeling that she wanted to say something to him: She gave him an odd, tremulous look and seemed to teeter on the edge of speech, but then, with a little jerk of her head, she bustled out of the room after her husband and son. H CHAPTER FOUR THE SEVEN POTTERS arry ran back upstairs to his bedroom, arriving at the window just in time to see the Dursleys car swinging out of the drive and off up the road. Dedaluss top hat was visible between Aunt Petunia and Dudley in the backseat. The car turned right at the end of Privet Drive, its windows burned scarlet for a moment in the now setting sun, and then it was gone. Harry picked up Hedwigs cage, his Firebolt, and his rucksack, gave his unnaturally tidy bedroom one last sweeping look, and then made his ungainly way back downstairs to the hall, where he deposited cage, broomstick, and bag near the foot of the stairs. The light was fading rapidly now, the hall full of shadows in the evening light. It felt most strange to stand here in the silence and know that he was about to leave the house for the last time. Long ago, when he had been left alone while the Dursleys went out to enjoy themselves, the hours of solitude had been link rare treat: Pausing only to sneak something tasty from the fridge, he had rushed upstairs to play on Dudleys computer, or put on the television and flicked through the channels to his hearts content. It gave him an odd, empty feeling to remember those times; it was like remembering a younger brother whom he had lost. Dont you want to take a last look at the place. he asked Hedwig, who was still sulking with her head under her wing. Well never be here again. Dont you want to remember all the good times. I mean, look at this doormat. What memories. Dudley puked on it after I saved him from the dementors. Turns out he was grateful after all, can you believe it. And last summer, Dumbledore walked through that front door. Harry lost the thread of his thoughts for a moment and Hedwig did nothing to help him retrieve it, but continued to sit with her head under her wing. Harry turned his back on the front door. And under here, Hedwig - Harry pulled open a door under the stairs - is where I used to sleep. You never knew me then - Blimey, its small, Id forgotten. Harry looked around at the stacked shoes and umbrellas, remembering how he used to wake every morning looking up at the underside of the staircase, which was more Game pass pc diablo 4 than not adorned with a spider or two. Those had been the days before he had learn more here anything about his true identity; before he had found out how his parents had died or why such strange things often happened around him. But Harry could still remember the dreams that had dogged him, even in those days: confused dreams involving flashes of green light and once - Uncle Vernon had nearly crashed the car when Harry had recounted it - a flying motorbike. There was a sudden, deafening roar from somewhere nearby. Harry straightened up with a jerk and smacked game service top of his head on the low door frame. Pausing only to employ a few of Uncle Vernons choicest swear words, he staggered back into the kitchen, clutching his head and staring out of the window into the back garden. The darkness seemed to be rippling, the air itself quivering. Then, one by one, figures began to pop into sight as their Disillusionment Charms lifted. Dominating the scene was Hagrid, wearing a helmet and goggles and sitting astride an enormous motorbike with a black sidecar attached. All around him other people were dismounting from brooms and, in two cases, skeletal, black winged horses. Wrenching open the back door, Harry hurtled into their midst. There was a general cry of greeting as Hermione flung her arms around him, Ron clapped him on the back, and Hagrid said, All righ, Harry. Ready fer the off. Definitely, said Harry, beaming around at them all. But I wasnt expecting this many of you. Change of plan, growled Mad-Eye, who was holding two enormous, bulging sacks, and whose magical eye was spinning from darkening sky to house to garden with dizzying rapidity. Lets get undercover before we talk you through it. Harry led them all back into the kitchen where, laughing and chattering, they settled on chairs, sat themselves upon Aunt Petunias gleaming work surfaces, or leaned up against her spotless appliances: Ron, long and lanky; Hermione, her bushy hair tied back in a long plait; Fred and George, grinning identically; Bill, badly scarred and long-haired; Mr. Weasley, kind-faced, balding, his spectacles a little awry; Mad-Eye, battle-worn, one-legged, his bright blue magical eye whizzing in its socket; Tonks, whose short hair was click favorite shade of bright pink; Lupin, grayer, more lined; Fleur, slender and beautiful, with her long silvery blonde hair; Kingsley, bald, black, broadshouldered; Hagrid, with his wild hair and beard, standing hunchbacked to avoid hitting his head on the ceiling; and Mundungus Fletcher, small, dirty, and hangdog, with his droopy basset hounds eyes and matted hair. Harrys heart seemed to expand and glow at the sight: He felt incredibly fond of all of them, even Mundungus, whom he had tried to strangle the last time they had met. Kingsley, I thought you were looking after the Muggle Prime Minister. he called across the room. He can get along without me for one night, said Kingsley. Youre more important. Harry, guess what. said Tonks from her perch on top of the washing machine, and she wiggled her left hand at him; a ring glittered there. You got married. Harry yelped, looking from her to Lupin. Im sorry you couldnt be there, Harry, it was very quiet. Thats brilliant, congrat - All right, all right, well have time for a cozy catch-up later. roared Moody over the hubbub, and silence fell in the kitchen. Moody dropped his sacks at his feet and turned to Harry. As Dedalus probably told you, we had to abandon Plan A. Pius Thicknesse has gone over, which gives us a big problem. Hes made it an imprisonable offense to connect this house to the Floo Network, place a Portkey here, or Apparate in or out. All done in the name of your protection, to prevent You-Know-Who getting in at you. Absolutely pointless, seeing as your mothers charm does that already. What hes really done is to stop you getting out of here safely. Second problem: Youre underage, which means youve still got the Trace on you. I dont - The Trace, the Trace. said Mad-Eye impatiently. The charm that detects magical activity around under-seventeens, the way the Ministry finds out about underage magic. If you, or anyone around you, casts a spell to get you out something 3d games were here, Thicknesse is going to know about it, and so will the Death Eaters. We cant wait for the Trace to break, because the moment you turn seventeen youll lose all the protection your mother gave you. In short: Pius Thicknesse thinks hes got you cornered good and proper. Harry could not help but agree clash of clans th5 base the unknown Thicknesse. So what are we going to do. Were going to use the only means of transport left to us, the only ones the Trace cant detect, because we dont need to cast spells to use them: brooms, thestrals, and Hagrids motorbike. Harry could see flaws in this plan; however, he held his tongue to give Mad-Eye the chance to address them. Now, your mothers charm will only break under two conditions: when you come of age, or - Moody gestured around the pristine kitchen - you no longer call this place home. You and your aunt and uncle are going your separate ways tonight, in the full understanding that youre never going to live together again, correct. Harry nodded. So this time, when you leave, therell be no going back, and the charm will break the moment you get outside its range. Were choosing to break it early, because the alternative is waiting for You-Know-Who to come and seize you the moment you turn seventeen. The one thing weve got on our side is that You-Know-Who doesnt know were moving you tonight. Weve leaked a fake trail to the Ministry: They think youre not leaving until the thirtieth. However, this is You-Know-Who were dealing with, so we cant just rely on him getting the date wrong; hes bound to have a couple of Death Eaters patrolling the skies in this general area, just in case. So, weve given a dozen different houses every protection we can throw at them. They all look like they could be the place were going to hide you, theyve all got some connection with the Order: my house, Kingsleys place, Mollys Auntie Muriels - you get the idea. Yeah, said Harry, not entirely truthfully, because he could still spot a gaping hole in the plan. Youll be going to Tonkss parents. Once youre within the boundaries of the protective enchantments weve put on their house, youll be able to use a Portkey to the Burrow. Any questions. Er - yes, said Harry. Maybe they wont know which of the twelve secure houses Im heading for at first, but wont it be sort of obvious once - he performed a quick headcount - fourteen of us fly off toward Tonkss parents. Ah, said Moody, I forgot to mention the key point. Fourteen of us wont be flying to Tonkss parents. There will be seven Harry Potters moving through the skies tonight, each of them with a companion, each pair heading for a different safe house. From inside his cloak Moody now withdrew a flask of what looked like mud. There was no need for him to say another word; Harry understood the rest of the plan immediately. he said loudly, his voice ringing through the kitchen. No way. I told them youd take it like this, said Hermione with a hint of complacency. If you think Im going to let six people risk their lives -. - because its the first time for all of us, said Ron. This is different, pretending to be me - Well, none of us really fancy it, Harry, said Fred earnestly. Imagine if something went wrong and we were stuck as specky, scrawny gits forever. Harry did not smile. You cant do it if I dont cooperate, you need me to give you some hair. Well, thats that plan scuppered, said George. Obviously theres no chance at all of us getting a bit of your hair unless you cooperate. Yeah, thirteen of us against one bloke whos not allowed to use magic; weve got no chance, said Fred. Funny, said Harry, really amusing. If it has to come to force, then it will, growled Moody, his magical eye now quivering a little in its socket as he glared at Harry. Everyone heres overage, Potter, and theyre all prepared to take the risk.
Well, I saw the doe first, obviously. You saw the what. said Hermione sharply. They explained what had happened, and as the story of the silver doe and the sword in the pool unfolded, Hermione frowned from one to the other of them, concentrating so hard she forgot to keep her limbs Single games pc together. But it must have been a Patronus. she said. Couldnt you see who was casting it. Didnt you see anyone. And it led you to the sword. I cant believe this. Then what happened. Ron explained how he had watched Harry jump into the pool and had waited for him to resurface; how he had realized that something was wrong, dived in, and saved Harry, then returned for Single games pc sword. He got as far as the opening of the locket, then hesitated, and Harry cut in. - and Ron stabbed it with the sword. And. and it went. Just like that. she whispered. Well, it - it screamed, said Harry with half a glance at Ron. Here. He threw the locket into her lap; gingerly she picked it up and examined its punctured windows. Deciding that it was at last safe to do so, Harry removed the Shield Charm with a wave of Hermiones wand and turned to Ron. Did you just say you got away from the Https://warstrategygames.cloud/war/clan-war-league.php with a spare wand. What. said Ron, who had been watching Hermione examining the locket. Oh - oh yeah. He tugged open a buckle on his rucksack and pulled a short, dark wand out of its pocket. Here. I figured its always handy to have a backup. You were right, said Harry, 2 steam ops black out his hand. Mines broken. Youre kidding. Ron said, but at that moment Hermione got to her feet, and he looked Single games pc again. Hermione put the vanquished Horcrux into the beaded bag, then climbed back into her bed and settled down without another word. Ron passed Harry the new wand. About the best you could hope for, I think, murmured Harry. Yeah, said Single games pc. Couldve been worse. Remember those birds she set on me. I still havent ruled it out, came Hermiones muffled voice from beneath her blankets, but Harry saw Ron smiling slightly as he pulled his maroon pajamas out of his rucksack. H CHAPTER TWENTY XENOPHILIUS LOVEGOOD arry had not expected Hermiones anger to abate overnight, and was therefore unsurprised that she communicated mainly by dirty looks and pointed silences the next morning.
