Chapter 10.

The Marauder's Map.

Madame Pomfrey insisted on keeping

Harry in the hospital wing for the rest of the weekend.

He didn't argue or complain, but he wouldn't let her throw away the shattered remnants of his Nimbus 2000.

He knew he was being stupid, knew that the Nimbus was beyond repair, but Harry couldn't help it.

He felt as though he'd lost one of his best friends.

He had a stream of visitors, all intent on cheering him up.

Hagrid sent him a bunch of earwiggy flowers that looked like yellow cabbages, and Ginny Weasley, blushing furiously,

turned up with a get -well card she had made herself, which sang shrilly unless Harry kept it shut under his bowl of fruit.

The Gryffindor team visited again on Saturday morning, this time accompanied by Wood, who told Harry, in a hollow,

dead sort of voice, that he didn't blame him in the slightest.

Ron and Hermione left

Harry's bedside only at night, but nothing anyone said or did could make

Harry feel any better, because they knew only half of what was troubling him.

He hadn't told anyone about the Grimm, not even Ron and Hermione, because he knew Ron would panic, and Hermione would scoff.

The fact remained, however, that it had now appeared twice, and both appearances had been followed by near -fatal accidents.

The first time he had nearly been run over by the night bus, the second fallen fifty feet from his broomstick.

Was the Grimm going to haunt him until he actually died?

Was he going to spend the rest of his life looking over his shoulder for the beast?

And then there were the Dementors.

Harry felt sick and humiliated every time he thought of them.

Everyone said the Dementors were horrible, but no one else collapsed every time they went near one.

No one else heard echoes in the head of their dying parents because Harry knew who that screaming voice belonged to now.

He had heard her words, heard them over and over again during the night hours in the hospital wing while he lay awake,

staring up at the strips of moonlight on the ceiling.

When the Dementors approached him, he heard the last moments of his mother's life, her attempts to protect him,

Harry, from Lord Voldemort, and Voldemort's laughter before he murdered her.

Harry dozed fitfully, sinking into dreams full of clammy, rotted hands and petrified pleading, jerking awake to dwell again on his mother's voice.

It was a relief to return to the noise and bustle of the main school on Monday, where he was forced to think about other things,

even if he had to endure Draco Malfoy's taunting.

Malfoy was almost beside himself with glee at Gryffindor's defeat.

He had finally taken off his bandages

and celebrated having the full use of both arms again by doing spirited imitations of Harry falling off his broom.

Malfoy spent much of their next potions class, doing Dementor imitations across the dungeon.

Ron finally cracked and flung a large, slippery crocodile heart at Malfoy,

which hit him in the face and caused Snape to take fifty points from Gryffindor.

If Snape's teaching defense against the Dark Arts again, I'm skiving off, said Ron as they headed toward Lupin's classroom after lunch.

Check who's in there, Hermione.

Hermione peered around the classroom door.

It's okay!

Professor Lupin was back at work.

It certainly looked as though he had been ill.

His old robes were hanging more loosely on him, and there were dark shadows beneath the eyes.

Nevertheless, he smiled at the class as they took their seats,

and they burst at once into an explosion of complaints about Snape's behavior where Lupin had been ill.

It's not fair.

He was only feeling in.

Why should he give us homework?

We don't know anything about werewolves.

Two rolls of parchment!

Did you tell

Professor Snape we haven't covered them yet?

Lupin asked, frowning slightly.

The babble broke out again.

Yes, but he said we were really behind.

He wouldn't listen.

Two rolls of parchment!

Professor Lupin smiled at the look of indignation on every face.

Don't worry.

I'll speak to Professor Snape.

You don't have to do that essay.

Oh no, said Hermione, looking very disappointed.

I've already finished it.

They had a very enjoyable lesson.

Professor Lupin had brought along a glass box containing a hinky punk,

a little one -legged creature who looked as though he were made of wisps of smoke, rather frail and harmless -looking.

Lur's travellers into bogs, said

Professor Lupin as they took notes.

You notice the lantern dangling from his hand.

Hops ahead.

People follow the light.

Then...

The hinky -punk made a horrible squelching noise against the glass.

When the bell rang, everyone gathered up their things and headed for the door.

Harry among them. But...

Wait a moment, Harry, Lupin called.

I'd like a word.

Harry doubled back and watched

Professor Lupin covering the hinky -punk's box with a cloth.

I heard about the match, said Lupin, turning back to his desk and starting to pile books into his briefcase.

And I'm sorry about your broomstick.

Is there any chance of fixing it?

No, said Harry.

The tree smashed it to bits.

Lupin sighed.

They planted the whopping willow the same year that I arrived at Hogwarts.

People used to play a game, trying to get near enough to touch the trunk.

In the end, a boy called Davy Gudgeon nearly lost an eye, and we were forbidden to go near it.

No broomstick would have a chance.

Did you hear about the Dementos too? said

Harry with difficulty.

Lupin looked at him quickly.

Yes, I did.

I don't think any of us have seen

Professor Dumbledore that angry.

They've been growing restless for some time, furious at his refusal to let them inside the grounds.

I suppose they were the reason you fell.

Yes, said Harry.

100

He hesitated, and then the question he had to ask burst from him before he could stop himself.

101

Why?

102

Why do they affect me like that?

103

Am I just— It has nothing to do with weakness, said Professor Lupin sharply, as though he had read Harry's mind.

104

The Dementors affect you worse than the others because there are horrors in your past that the others don't have.

105

A ray of wintry sunlight fell across the classroom, illuminating Lupin's gray hairs and the lines on his young face.

106

Dementors are among the foulest creatures that walk this earth.

107

They infest the darkest, filthiest places.

108

They glory and decay and despair.

109

They drain peace, hope, and happiness out of the air around them.

110

Even muggles feel their presence, though they can't see them.

111

Get too near a Dementor and every good feeling, every happy memory will be sucked out of you.

112

If it can, the Dementor will feed on you long enough to reduce you to something like itself, soulless and evil.

113

You'll be left with nothing but the worst experiences of your life.

114

And the worst that happened to you, Harry, is enough to make anyone fall off their broom.

115

You have nothing to feel ashamed of.

116

When they can get near me, Harry stared at Lupin's desk, his throat tight.

117

I can hear Voldemort muttering my mom.

118

Lupin made a sudden motion with his arm, as if to grip

119

Harry's shoulder but thought better of it.

120

There was a moment's silence.

121

Then, why did they have to come to the match? said Harry bitterly.

122

They're getting hungry, said Lupin coolly, shutting his briefcase with a snap.

123

Dumbledore won't let them into the school, so their supply of human prey has dried up.

124

I don't think they could resist the large crowd around the Crittich Field.

125

All that excitement, emotions running high.

126

It was their idea of a feast.

127

"'Ascobad must be terrible,' Harry muttered.

128

Lupin nodded grimly.

129

"'The fortress is set on a tiny island way out to sea, but they don't need walls and water to keep the prisoners in,

130

not when they're all trapped inside their own heads, incapable of a single cheerful thought.

131

Most of them go mad within weeks.' "'But Sirius Black escaped from them,' Harry said slowly.

132

"'He got away.' Lupin's briefcase slipped from the desk.

133

He had to stoop quickly to catch it.

134

Yes, he said, straightening up.

135

Black must have found a way to fight them.

136

I wouldn't have believed it possible.

137

Dementors are supposed to drain a wizard of his powers if he is left with them too long.

138

You made that Dementor off the train back off, said Harry suddenly.

139

There are certain defenses one can use, said Lupin.

140

But there is only one Dementor on the train.

141

The more there are, the more difficult it becomes to resist.

142

What defenses?

143

Harry said at once.

144

Can you teach me?

145

I don't pretend to be an expert at fighting Dementors, Harry.

146

Quite the contrary.

147

But if the Dementors come to another Quidditch match, I need to be able to fight them.

148

Lupin looked into Harry's determined face, hesitated, then said, Well, all right.

149

I'll try and help, but it'll have to wait until next term, I'm afraid.

150

I have a lot to do before the holidays.

151

I chose a very inconvenient time to fall ill.

152

What with the promise of anti -Dementor lessons from Lupin, the thought that he might never have to hear his mother's death again,

153

and the fact that Ravenclaw flattened Hufflepuff in the Quidditch match at the end of November, Harry's mood took a definite upturn.

154

Gryffindor were not out of the running after all, although they could not afford to lose another match.

155

Wood became repossessed of his manic energy, and worked his team as hard as ever in the chilly haze of rain that persisted into December.

156

Harry's are no hint of Dementor within the grounds.

157

Dumbledore's anger seemed to be keeping them at their stations at the entrances.

158

Two weeks before the end of term, the sky lightened suddenly to a dazzling opaline white,

159

and the muddy grounds were revealed one morning covered in glittering frost.

160

Inside the castle, there was a buzz of Christmas in the air.

161

Professor Flitwick, the charms teacher, had already decorated his classroom with shimmering lights that turned out to be real, fluttering fairies.

162

The students were all happily discussing their plans for the holidays.

163

Both Ron and Hermione had decided to remain at Hogwarts, and though Ron said it was because he couldn't stand two weeks with Percy,

164

and Hermione insisted she needed to use the library, Harry wasn't fooled.

165

They were doing it to keep him company, and he was very grateful.

166

To everyone's delight except

167

Harry's, there was to be another Hogsmeade trip on the very last weekend of the term.

168

We can do all our Christmas shopping there, said Hermione.

169

Mum and Dad would really love those two -flossing string mints from Honeydukes.

170

Resigned to the fact that he would be the only third year staying behind again,

171

Harry borrowed a copy of Witch Broomstick from Wood and decided to spend the day reading up on the different makes.

172

He'd been riding one of the school brooms at team practice, an ancient shooting star which was very slow and jerky.

173

He definitely needed a new broom of his own.

174

On the Saturday morning of the Hogsmeade trip, Harry bid goodbye to Ron and Hermione, who were wrapped in cloaks and scarves.

175

Ben turned up to the marble staircase alone and headed back toward Gryffindor Tower.

176

Snow had started to fall outside the windows, and the castle was very still and quiet.

177

Psst!

178

Harry!

179

He turned, halfway along the third -floor corridor, to see Fred and George peering out at him from behind a statue of a humpbacked,

180

one -eyed witch.

181

What are you doing? said Harry curiously.

182

How come you're not going to Hogsmeade?

183

We've come to give you a bit of festive cheer before we go, said Fred with a mysterious wink.

184

Come in here.

185

He nodded toward an empty classroom to the left of the one -eyed statue.

186

Harry followed Fred and George inside.

187

George closed the door quietly and then turned, beaming to look at Harry.

188

Early Christmas present for you, Harry, he said.

189

Fred pulled something from inside his cloak with a flourish and laid it on one of the desks.

190

It was a large, square, very worn piece of parchment with nothing written on it.

191

Harry, suspecting one of Fred and George's jokes, stared at it.

192

What's that supposed to be?

193

This, Harry, is the secret of our success, said George, patting the parchment fondly.

194

It's a wrench giving it to you, said Fred, but we decided last night your needs greater than ours.

195

Anyway, we know it by heart, said George.

196

We bequeath it to you.

197

We don't really need it anymore.

198

And what do I need with a bit of old parchment, said Harry?

199

A bit of old parchment, said Fred, closing his eyes with a grimace as though Harry had mortally offended him.

200

Explain, George.

201

Well, when we were in our first year, Harry, young, carefree, and innocent, Harry snorted.

202

He doubted whether Fred and George had ever been innocent.

203

Well, more innocent than we are now.

204

We got into a spot of bother with filch.

205

We let off a dung bomb in the corridor and it upset him for some reason.

206

So he hauled us off to his office and started threatening us with the usual.

207

Detention.

208

Disembowelment.

209

And we couldn't help noticing a drawer in one of his filing cabinets marked Confiscated and Highly Dangerous.

210

"'Don't tell me,' said

211

Harry, starting to grin.

212

"'Well, what would you have done?' said Fred.

213

George caused a diversion by dropping another dung bomb.

214

I whipped the drawer open and grabbed this.

215

"'It's not as bad as it sounds, you know,' said George.

216

"'We don't reckon Filch ever found out how to work it.

217

"'He probably suspected what it was, though, or he wouldn't have confiscated it.' "'And how—and you know how to work it?' "'Oh, yes,' said Fred, smirking.

218

"'This little beauty's taught us more than all the teachers in this school.' "'You're winding me up,' said

219

Harry, looking at the ragged old bit of parchment.

220

"'How are we?' said George.

221

He took out his wand, touched the parchment lightly, and said, "'I solemnly swear that I am up to no good.' And at once,

222

thin ink lines began to spread like a spider's web from the point that George's wand had touched.

223

They joined each other, they crisscrossed, they fanned into every corner of the parchment.

224

Then words began to blossom across the top, great curly green words that proclaimed, Mrs. Mooney, Wormtail, Padfoot, and Prongs,

225

purveyors of aids to magical mischief makers, are proud to present the Marauder's Map.

226

It was a map showing every detail of the Hogwarts castle and grounds, but the truly remarkable thing were the tiny ink dots moving around it,

227

each labeled with a name in minuscule writing.

228

Astounded, Harry bent over it.

229

A labeled dot on the top left corner showed that

230

Professor Dumbledore was pacing in his study.

231

The caretaker's cat, Mrs. Norris, was prowling the second floor, and Peeves the poltergeist was currently bouncing around the trophy room.

232

And as Harry's eyes traveled up and down the familiar corridors, he noticed something else.

233

This map showed a set of passages he had never entered, and many of them seemed to lead right into Hogsmeade,

234

said Fred, tracing one of them with his finger.

235

There are seven in all.

236

Now, Filch knows about these four, he pointed them out, but we're sure we're the only ones who know about these.

237

Don't bother with the one behind the mirror on the fourth floor.

238

We used it until last winter, but it's caved in, completely blocked.

239

And we don't reckon anyone's ever used this one because the Whomping Willow's planted right over the entrance.

240

But this one here, this one leads right into the cellar of our honeydukes.

241

We've used it loads of times.

242

And as you might have noticed, the entrance is right outside this room, through that one -eyed old crone's hump.

243

Moony Wormtail Patfoot and Prongs, sighed George, patting the heading of the map.

244

We owe them so much.

245

"'Noble men working tirelessly to help a new generation of lawbreakers,' said Fred solemnly.

246

"'Right,' said George briskly.

247

"'Don't forget to wipe it after you've used it.' "'Or anyone can read it,' Fred said warningly.

248

"'Just tap it again and say, "'Mischief managed,' and it'll go blank.' "'So, young Harry,' said Fred in an uncanny impersonation of Percy,

249

"'mind you behave yourself.' "'See you in Honeydukes,' said George, winking.' They left the room both smirking in a satisfied sort of way.

250

Harry stood there, gazing at the miraculous map.

251

He watched the tiny ink Mrs. Norris turned left, and paused to snippet something on the floor.

252

If Filch really didn't know, he wouldn't have to pass the dementals at all.

253

But even as he stood there, fooled with excitement, flooded with excitement, something Harry had once heard Mr. Weasley say came floating out of his memory.

254

Never trust anything that can think for itself if you can't see where it keeps its brain.

255

This map was one of those dangerous magical objects Mr. Weasley had been warning against.

256

Aids for magical mischief makers.

257

But then, Harry reasoned.

258

He only wanted to use it to get into Hogsmeade.

259

It wasn't as though he wanted to steal anything or attack anyone.

260

And Fred and George had been using it for years without anything horrible happening.

261

Harry traced the secret passage to Honeydukes with his finger.

262

Then, quite suddenly, as though following orders, he rolled up the map, stuffed it inside his robes, and hurried to the door of the classroom.

263

He opened it a couple of inches.

264

There was no one outside, and very carefully he edged out of the room and behind the statue of the one -eyed witch.

265

What did he have to do?

266

He pulled out the map again and saw, to his astonishment, that a new ink figure had appeared upon it, labeled Harry Potter.

267

This figure was standing exactly where the real

268

Harry was standing, about halfway down the third floor corridor.

269

Harry watched carefully.

270

His little ink self appeared to be tapping the witch with his minute wand.

271

Harry quickly took out his real wand and tapped the statue.

272

Nothing happened.

273

He looked back at the map.

274

The tiniest speech bubble had appeared next to his figure.

275

The word inside said, Descendium.

276

Descendium, Harry whispered, tapping the stone witch again.

277

At once, the statue's hump opened wide enough to admit a fairly thin person.

278

Harry glanced quickly up and down the corridor, then tucked the map away again, hoisted himself into the hole headfirst, and pushed himself forward.

279

He slid a considerable way down what felt like a stone slide, then landed on a cold, damp earth.

280

He stood up, looking around.

281

It was pitch dark.

282

He held up his wand, muttered, Lumos! and saw that he was in a very narrow, low, earthy passageway.

283

He raised the map, tapped it with the tip of his wand, and muttered, Mischief managed!

284

The map went blank at once.

285

He followed it carefully, tucked it inside his robes, then, heart -beating fast, both excited and apprehensive, he set off.

286

The passage twisted and turned, more like the burrow of a giant rabbit than anything else.

287

Harry hurried along it, stumbling now and then on an uneven floor, holding his wand out in front of him.

288

It took ages, but Harry had the thought of honeydukes to sustain him.

289

After what felt like an hour, the passage began to rise.

290

Panting, Harry sped up, his face hot, his feet very killed.

291

Ten minutes later, he came to the foot of some worn stone steps, which rose out of sight above him.

292

Careful not to make any noise, Harry began to climb.

293

A hundred steps, two hundred steps.

294

He lost count as he climbed, watching his feet.

295

Then, without warning, his head hit something hard.

296

It seemed to be a trap door.

297

Harry stood there, massaging the top of his head, listening.

298

He couldn't hear any sounds above him.

299

Very slowly, he pushed the trapdoor open and peered over the edge.

300

He was in a cellar, which was full of wooden crates and boxes.

301

Harry climbed out of the trapdoor and replaced it.

302

It blended so perfectly with the dusty floor that it was impossible to tell it was there.

303

Harry crept slowly toward the wooden staircase that led upstairs.

304

Now he could definitely hear voices, not to mention the tinkle of a bell and the opening and shutting of a door.

305

Wondering what he ought to do, he suddenly heard a door open much closer at hand.

306

Somebody was about to come downstairs.

307

And get another box of jelly slugs, dear.

308

They've nearly cleaned us out, said a woman's voice.

309

A pair of feet was coming down the staircase.

310

Harry left behind an enormous crate and waited for the footsteps to pass.

311

He heard the man shifting boxes against the opposite wall.

312

He might not get another chance.

313

Quickly and silently, Harry dodged out from his hiding place and climbed the stairs.

314

Looking back, he saw an enormous backside and a shiny bald head buried in a box.

315

Harry reached the door at the top of the stairs, slipped through it and found himself behind the counter of Honeydukes.

316

He ducked, crept sideways, and then he straightened up.

317

Honeydukes was so crowded with Hogwarts students that no one looked twice at Harry.

318

He edged among them, looking around,

319

and suppressed a laugh as he imagined the look that would spread over Dudley's piggy face if he could see where

320

Harry was now.

321

There were shelves upon shelves of the most succulent -looking sweets imaginable.

322

Creamy chunks of nougat, shimmering pink squares of coconut ice, fat, honey -colored toffees, hundreds of different kinds of chocolate in neat rows.

323

There was a large barrel of every -flavoured beans, and another of fizzing whizbees, the levitating sherbet balls that Ron had mentioned.

324

Along yet another wall were special effects sweets, Droobles' best -blowing gum, which filled a room with bluebell -coloured bubbles that refused to pop for days.

325

The strange splintery tooth -flossing string mint, tiny black pepper imps.

326

Breathe fire for your friends.

327

Ice mice.

328

Hear your teeth chatter and squeak.

329

Peppermint creams shaped like toads.

330

Hop realistically in the stomach like.

331

Fragile sugar -spun quills and exploding bonbons.

332

Harry squeezed himself through a crowd of sixth -years and saw a sign hanging from the farthest corner of the shop.

333

Unusual tastes.

334

Ron and Hermione were standing underneath it, examining a tray of blood -flavored lollipops.

335

Harry sneaked up behind them.

336

Oh no!

337

Harry won't want one of those.

338

They're for vampires, I expect, Hermione was saying.

339

How about these? said Ron, shoving a jar of cockroach clusters under Hermione's nose.

340

Definitely not, said Harry.

341

Ron nearly dropped the jar.

342

Harry!

343

squealed Hermione.

344

What are you doing here?

345

How did you...

346

Wow!

347

said Ron, looking very impressed.

348

You've learned to apparate!

349

"'Course I haven't,' said Harry.

350

He dropped his voice so that none of the sixiers could hear him and told him all about the Marauder's Map.

351

"'How come Fred and George never gave it to me?' said Ron, outraged.

352

"'I'm their brother!' "'But Harry isn't going to keep it,' said Hermione, as though the idea were ludicrous.

353

"'He's going to hand it in to Professor McGonagall, aren't you, Harry?' "'No, I'm not,' said Harry." "'Are you mad?' said Ron, goggling at Hermione.

354

"'Hand in something that good!' If I hand it in, then I'll have to say where I got it.

355

Fields would know Fred and George had nicked it.

356

But what about Sirius Black?

357

Hermione hissed.

358

He could be using one of those passages on the map to get in the castle.

359

The teachers have got to know.

360

He can't be getting in through a passage, said Harry quickly.

361

There are seven secret tunnels on the pass.

362

On the map, right?

363

Fred and George reckon

364

Fields already knows about four of them.

365

And of the other three, one of them is caved in, so no one can get through it.

366

One of them's got the whomping willow planted over the entrance, so you can't get out of it.

367

And the one I just came through, well, it's really hard to see the entrance to it down in the cellar,

368

so unless he knew it was down there.

369

Harry hesitated.

370

What if Black did know the passage was there?

371

Ron, however, cleared his throat significantly and pointed to a notice pasted on the inside of the sweet shop door.

372

By order of the Ministry of Magic, customers are reminded that until further notice, Dementors will be patrolling the streets of Hogsmeade every night after sundown.

373

This measure has been put in place for the safety of Hogsmeade residents

374

and will be lifted upon the recapture of Sirius Black.

375

It is therefore advisable that you complete your shopping well before nightfall.

376

Merry Christmas.

377

See, said Ron quietly.

378

I'd like to see

379

Black try and break into Honeydukes with the Mentos swarming all over the village.

380

Anyway, Hermione, the Honeydukes owners would hear a break -in, wouldn't they?

381

They live over this shop.

382

Yes, but, but...

383

Hermione seemed to be struggling to find another problem.

384

Look, Harry still shouldn't be coming into Hogsmeade.

385

He hasn't got a signed form.

386

If anyone finds out, he'll mean so much trouble.

387

And it's not nightfall yet.

388

What if Sirius Black turns up today?

389

Now?

390

He'd have a job spotting

391

Harry in this, said Ron, nodding through the mullion windows and at the thick, swirling snow.

392

Come on, Hermione.

393

It's Christmas.

394

Harry deserves a break.

395

Hermione bit her lip, looking extremely worried.

396

Are you going to report me?

397

Harry asked, her grinning.

398

Oh, of course not but honestly, Harry.

399

Seen the fizzing whizbees, Harry, said Ron, grabbing him and leading him over to their barrel.

400

And the jelly slugs.

401

And the acid pops.

402

Fred gave me one of those when I was seven.

403

It burnt a hole right through my tongue.

404

I remember mum walloping her with a broomstick.

405

Ron stared broodingly into the acid pop box.

406

Rick and Fred would take a bit of cockroach cluster if I told them they were peanuts.

407

When Ron and Hermione had paid for all those sweets, the three of them left Honeydukes in the blizzard outside.

408

Hogsmeade looked like a Christmas card.

409

The little thatched cottages and shops were all covered in a layer of crisp snow.

410

There were holly wreaths on the door and strings of enchanted candles, candles hanging in the trees.

411

Harry shivered.

412

Unlike the other two, he didn't have his cloak.

413

They headed up the street, heads bowed against the wind, Ron and Hermione shouting through their scarves.

414

That's the post office!

415

Zonkos is up there!

416

We could go up to the Shrieking Shack!

417

To tell you what, said Ron, his teeth chattering.

418

Shall we go for a butterbeer and a three broomsticks?

419

Harry was more than willing.

420

The wind was fierce and his hands were freezing, so they crossed the road and in a few minutes were entering the tiny inn.

421

It was extremely crowded, noisy, warm, and smoky.

422

A curvy sort of woman with a pretty face was serving a bunch of rowdy warlocks up at the bar.

423

That's Madame Rose Murtaugh, said Ron.

424

I'll get the drinks, shall I?

425

He added, going slightly red.

426

Harry and Hermione made their way to the back of the room, where there was a small,

427

vacant table between the window and a handsome Christmas tree, which stood next to the fireplace.

428

Ron came back five minutes later, carrying three foaming tankards of hot butterbeer.

429

Merry Christmas, he said happily, raising his tankard.

430

Harry drank deeply.

431

It was the most delicious thing he had ever tasted, and seemed to heat every bit of him from the inside.

432

A sudden breeze ruffled his hair.

433

The door of the three broomsticks had opened again.

434

Harry looked over the rim of his tankard and choked.

435

Professors McGonagall and Flitwick had just entered the pub with a flurry of snowflakes, shortly followed by Hagrid,

436

who was deep in conversation with a portly man in a lime -green bowler hat and a pinstriped cloak, Cornelius Fudge, Minister of Magic.

437

In an instant, Ron and Hermione had both placed hands on the top of Harry's head

438

and forced him off his stool under the table.

439

Dripping with butterbeer and crouching out of sight, Harry clutched his empty tankard and watched the teachers, and Fudge's feet moved toward the bar,

440

pause, then turn and walk right toward him.

441

Somewhere above him, Hermione whispered, Mabiliabas!

442

The Christmas tree beside the table rose a few inches off the ground,

443

drifted sideways, and landed with a soft thump right in front of the table, hiding them from view.

444

Staring through the dense lower branches, Harry saw four seats of chair legs move back from the table,

445

right beside theirs, then heard the grunts and sighs of the teachers and minister as they sat down.

446

Next, he saw another pair of feet, wearing sparkly turquoise high heels, and heard a woman's voice.

447

A small gillywater.

448

Mine, said Professor McGonagall's voice.

449

Four pints of mulled mead.

450

Ta, Rosemerta, said Hagrid.

451

A cherry syrup and soda with ice and umbrella.

452

Mmm, said Professor Flitwick, smacking his lips.

453

So you'll be the red currant rum, minster.

454

Thank you, Rosemerta, my dear, said Fudge's voice.

455

Lovely to see you again, I must say.

456

Have one yourself, won't you?

457

Come and join us.

458

Well, thank you very much, Minister.

459

Harry watched the glittering heels march away and back again.

460

His heart was pounding uncomfortably in his throat.

461

Why hadn't it occurred to him that this was the last weekend of town for the teachers, too?

462

And how long were they going to sit there?

463

He needed time to sneak back into Honeydukes if he wanted to return to the school tonight.

464

Hermione's leg gave a nervous twitch next to him.

465

So, what brings you to this neck of the woods, Minister?

466

Came Matamoros Manta's voice.

467

Harry saw the lower part of Fudge's thick body twist in his chair, as though he were checking for eavesdroppers.

468

Then he said in a quiet voice, What else, my dear, but Sirius Black?

469

I dare say you had what happened up at the school at Halloween.

470

I did hear a rumor, admitted Madame Rosemata.

471

Did you tell the whole pub, Hagrid? said

472

Professor McGonagall exasperatedly.

473

Do you think

474

Black's still in the area, Minister?

475

said Madame Rosemata.

476

I'm sure of it, said Fudge shortly.

477

You know that Dementors have searched the whole village twice, said Madame Rose Mater, a slight edge to a voice.

478

Scared all my customers away.

479

It's very bad for business, Minister.

480

Rose Mater, my dear.

481

I don't like them any more than you do, said Fudge uncomfortably.

482

Necessary precaution.

483

Unfortunate, but there you are.

484

I've just met some of them.

485

They're in a fury against Dumbledore.

486

He won't let them inside the castle grounds.

487

I should think not, said

488

Professor McGonagall sharply.

489

How are we supposed to teach with those horrors flying around?

490

Hear, hear, squeaked tiny

491

Professor Flitwick, whose feet were dangling a foot from the ground.

492

All the same, demurred Fudge, they are here to protect you all from something much worse.

493

We all know what

494

Black's capable of.

495

Do you know, I still have trouble believing it, said

496

Madame Rosemartha thoughtfully.

497

Of all the people to go over to the dark side, Sirius Black was the last I'd have thought.

498

I mean, I remember him when he was a boy at Hogwarts.

499

If you'd have told me then what he was going to become, I'd have said you'd have too much to need.

500

"'You don't know the half of it, Rose Murta,' said Fudge gruffly.

501

"'The worst he did isn't widely known.' "'The worst!' said

502

Madame Rose Murta, her voice alive with curiosity.

503

"'Worst than muttering all those poor people, you mean?' "'I certainly do,' said Fudge.

504

"'I can't believe that.

505

What could possibly be worse?' "'You say you remember him at Hogwarts, Rose Murta,' muttered Professor McGonagall.

506

"'Do you remember who his best friend was?' "'Naturally,' said

507

Madame Rose Murta with a small laugh.

508

"'Never saw one without the other, did you?

509

"'The number of times I had them in here.

510

"'Oh, they used to make me laugh.

511

"'Quite the double act, Sirius Black and James Potter.' Harry dropped his tankard with a loud clunk.

512

Ron kicked him.

513

"'Precisely,' said Professor McGonagall.

514

"'Black and Potter, ringleaders of their little gang.

515

"'Both very bright, of course.

516

"'Exceptionably, exceptionally bright.

517

"'In fact, but I don't think we've ever had such a pair of troublemakers.

518

I don't know, chuckled Hagrid.

519

Fred and George Weasley could give him a run for their money.

520

You'd have thought

521

Black and Potter were brothers, chimed in Professor Flitwick.

522

Inseparable.

523

Of course they were, said Fudge.

524

Potter trusted Black beyond all his other friends.

525

Nothing changed when they left the school.

526

Black was best man when James married Lily.

527

Then they named him Godfather to Harry.

528

Harry has no idea, of course.

529

You can imagine how the idea would torment him.

530

Because Black turned out to be in league with you -know -who, whispered Matamoros Martyr.

531

Worse than even that, my dear.

532

Fudge dropped his voice and proceeded in a low sort of rumble.

533

Not many people are aware that the potters knew you -know -who was after them.

534

Dumbledore, who was of course working tirelessly against you -know -who, had a number of useful spies.

535

One of them tipped him off, and he alerted James and Lily at once.

536

He advised them to go into hiding.

537

Well, of course, you -know -who wasn't an easy person to hide from.

538

Dumbledore told them that their best chance was the Fidelius charm.

539

How does that work? said

540

Madame Rosamante, breathless with interest.

541

Professor Flitwick cleared his throat.

542

An immensely complex spell, he said squeakily, involving the magical concealment of a secret inside a single living soul.

543

The information is hidden inside the chosen person or secret keeper and is henceforth impossible to find, unless, of course, the secret keeper chooses to divulge

544

it as long as the secret keeper refuses to speak you know who could search the village where lily

545

and james were staying for years and never find them not even

546

if he had his nose pressed against their sitting room window

547

So, Black was this

548

Potter's secret keeper, whispered Madame Rosemarthe.

549

Naturally, said Professor McGonagall.

550

James Potter told Dumbledore that

551

Black would die rather than tell where they were, that Black was planning to go into hiding himself.

552

And yet, Dumbledore remained worried.

553

I remember him offering to be the Potter's secret keeper himself.

554

He suspected Black, gasped Madame Rosemarthe.

555

He was sure that somebody close to the Potters had been keeping you -know -who informed of their movements, said Professor McGonagall darkly.

556

Indeed, he had suspected for some time that someone on our side had turned traitor

557

and was passing a lot of information to you -know -who.

558

But James Potter insisted on using Black.

559

He did, said Fudge heavily, and then barely a week after the Fidelius charm had been performed.

560

Black betrayed them, breathed

561

Madame Rose Murta.

562

He did indeed.

563

Black was tired of his double agent role.

564

He was ready to declare his support openly for you -know -who, and he seems to have planned this for the moment of the Potter's death.

565

But, as we all know, you -know -who met his downfall in little Harry Potter.

566

Powers gone horribly weakened, he fled.

567

And this left

568

Black in a very nasty position indeed.

569

His master had fallen at the very moment when he, Black, had shown his true colours as a traitor.

570

He had no choice but to run for it.

571

Filthy stinking turncoat, Hagrid said so loudly that half the bar went quiet.

572

Shh, said Professor McGonagall.

573

I met him, growled Hagrid.

574

I must have been the last to see him before he killed all them people.

575

It was me what rescued

576

Harry from Lily and James' house after they was killed.

577

Just got him out of the ruins, poor little thing.

578

With a great slash across his forehead, and his parents dead.

579

And Sirius Black turns up on that flying motorbike he used to ride.

580

Never occurred to me what he was doing there.

581

I didn't know he'd been Lily and James' secret keeper.

582

Thought he'd just heard the news of you -know -who's a tech, and come to see what I could do.

583

White and shaken he was.

584

And you know what I did?

585

I comforted the murder and traitor.

586

Hagrid roared.

587

Hagrid, please, said Professor McGonagall.

588

Keep your voice down.

589

Who was I to know he wasn't upset about Lily and James?

590

It was you know who he care about.

591

And then he says, give

592

Harry to me, Hagrid.

593

I'm his godfather.

594

I looked after him.

595

But I had me orders from Dumbledore, and I told

596

Black no. Dumbledore said

597

Harry was to go to his aunt and uncles.

598

Black argued, but in the end he gave in.

599

Told me to take his motorbike to get Harry there.

600

I won't need it anymore, he says.

601

I should have known there was something fishy going on then.

602

He loved that motorbike.

603

What was he giving it to me for?

604

Why wouldn't he need it anymore?

605

Fact was, it was too easy to trace.

606

Dumbledore knew he'd been the Potter's secret keeper.

607

Black knew he was going to have to run for it that night.

608

Knew it was a matter of hours before the Ministry was after him.

609

But what if I'd have given

610

Harry to him, eh?

611

I bet he'd pitch them off the bike halfway out to sea.

612

His best friend's own son.

613

But when a wizard goes over to the dark side, there's nothing and no one that matters to them anymore.

614

A long silence followed Hagrid's story.

615

Then Madame Rose Matus said with some satisfaction, But he didn't manage to disappear, did he?

616

The Ministry of Magic caught up with him the next day.

617

Alas, if only we'd had, said Fudge bitterly.

618

It was not we who found him.

619

It was little

620

Peter Pettigrew, another of the Potter's friends.

621

Maddened by grief, no doubt, and knowing that

622

Black had been the Potter's secret keeper, he went after Black himself.

623

Pettigrew, that fat little boy who was always tagging around after them at Hogwarts, said Matamor's murder.

624

Here worshipped Black and Potter, said Professor McGonagall.

625

Never quite in their league, talent -wise.

626

It was often rather sharp with him.

627

You can imagine how I regret that now.

628

She sounded as though she had a sudden head curled.

629

There now, Minerva, said Fudge kindly.

630

Pettigrew died a hero's death.

631

Eyewitnesses, muggles of course, we wiped their memories later, told us how Pettigrew cornered Black.

632

They said he was sobbing.

633

Lillian, James, Sirius, how could you?

634

And then he went for his wand.

635

Well, of course

636

Black was quicker.

637

Blew Pettigrew to smithereens.

638

Professor McGonagall blew her nose and said thickly, stupid boy, foolish boy.

639

He was always hopeless at dueling.

640

Should have left it to the ministry.

641

I tell you, if I'd have got to Black before little Pettigrew did.

642

I wouldn't have messed around with Wands.

643

I'd have ripped him limb from limb, Hagrid growled.

644

You don't know what you're talking about, Hagrid, said Fudge sharply.

645

Nobody but trained hit wizards from the magical law enforcement squad would have stood a chance against

646

Black once he was cornered.

647

I was junior minister in the Department of Magical Catastrophes at the time, and I was one of the first on the scene after

648

Black murdered all those people.

649

I will never forget it.

650

I still dream about sometimes a crater in the middle of the street

651

so deep it had cracked the sewer below bodies everywhere muggles screaming

652

and black standing there laughing with what was left of pettigrew

653

in front of him a heap of blood -stained robes and a few -a few fragments Fudge's voice stopped abruptly.

654

There was the sound of five noses being blown.

655

Well, there you have it, Rosemartha, said Fudge thickly.

656

Black was taken away by twenty members of the magical law enforcement squad, and Pettigrew received the Order of Merlin,

657

first class, which I think was some comfort to his poor mother.

658

Black's been an Azkaban ever since.

659

Madame Rosemartha let out a long sigh.

660

Is it true he's mad, Minister?

661

I wish I could say that he was, said Fudge slowly.

662

I certainly believe his master's defeat unhinged him for a while.

663

The murder of Pettigrew and all those muggles was the action of a cornered and desperate man.

664

Cruel.

665

Pointless.

666

Yet I met

667

Black on my last inspection of Azkaban.

668

You know, most of the prisoners in there sit muttering to themselves in the dark.

669

There's no sense in them.

670

But I was shocked at how normal Black seemed.

671

He spoke quite rationally to me.

672

It was unnerving.

673

You'd have thought he was merely bored.

674

Asked if I'd finished with my newspaper, "'but cool as you please,' said he missed doing the crossword.

675

"'Yes, I was astounded at how little effect the Dementors seemed to be having on him,

676

"'and he was one of the most heavily guarded in the place, you know.

677

"'Dementors outside his door, day and night.' "'But what do you think he's broken out to do?' said Madame Rosemarita.

678

"'Good gracious, Minister!

679

He isn't trying to rejoin you -know -who, is he?' "'I dare say that his.. uh.. eventual plan,' said Fudge evasively.

680

But we hoped to catch

681

Black long before that.

682

I must say, you know who alone and friendless is one thing.

683

But give him back his most devoted servant, and I shudder to think how quickly he'll rise again.

684

There was a small chink of glass on wood.

685

Someone had set down their glass.

686

You know it, Cornelius.

687

If you're dining with the headmaster, we better head back up to the castle, said Professor McGonagall.

688

One by one, the pairs of feet in front of Harry took the weight of their owners once more.

689

Hems of cloaks swung into sight, and Madame Rosemute's glittering heels disappearing behind the bar.

690

The door of the three broomsticks opened again and there was another flurry of snow and the teachers had disappeared.

691

Harry?

692

Ron's and Hermione's faces appeared onto the table.

693

They were both staring at him, lost for words.

シャドーイングとは？英語上達に効果的な理由

シャドーイング（Shadowing）は、もともとプロの通訳者養成プログラムで開発された言語学習法で、多言語習得者として知られるDr. Alexander Arguelles によって広く普及されました。方法はシンプルですが非常に効果的：ネイティブスピーカーの英語を聞きながら、1〜2秒の遅延で声に出してすぐに繰り返す——まるで「影（shadow）」のように話者を追いかけます。文法ドリルや受動的なリスニングと異なり、シャドーイングは脳と口の筋肉が同時にリアルタイムで英語を処理・再現することを強制します。研究により、発音精度、抑揚、リズム、連音、リスニング力、そして会話の流暢さが大幅に向上することが確認されています。IELTSスピーキング対策や自然な英語コミュニケーションを目指す方に特におすすめです。
