Chapter 6
THE NEW HEADQUATERS
The portkey pulled Harry right into the sky as wind started blowing forcefully on his face. While the darken sky above him was getting closer and closer, Harry felt lucky he brought his coat. He could fell the cold sky everywhere and could barely breathe in the force of the wind. He waved his wand for warm air but was all blown away promptly from him. He wanted to leave this place as quick as possible.
It would certainly be a fine scenery for him if he wasn’t pulled powerfully and quickly to the sky.
‘Harry, this is Fred calling. Please answer if you hear me.’ said a voice from his pocket. Harry looked in his pocket. It came from the bag Fred and George gave to him at Diagon Allay- the little tube, which saved his life in the Karkaroff’s place. A projection of Fred’s face in the middle of the transparent tube, grinning at him with a wide-opened mouth. Harry smiled. He finally knew what made Lupin came to save him at midnight. He must had let Fred or George the conversation between him and the death eater.
‘Fred, can you hear me? I don’t know how to use it.’
‘I can. If the tube experiences heat, it would turn on itself.’ said Fred. ‘Why don’t you get in?’
‘In?’ asked Harry confusedly.
‘You haven’t read the instructions, right?’ said Fred mischievously. ‘Read it now, it’s in your bag.’
‘Come on, I can hardly breath. It’s not joking time.’
‘Fine, press your name.’ laughed Fred. Harry did so. He felt his body was sucked into the little hole beside his name; he was pulled into a room, into a comfortable soft sofa-chair. Next to him was a great bookshelf with several books on it. Red carpet was spread uniformly in every part of the ground. The walls were all limpid; outside was covered with black clouds. Harry breathed deeply of the fresh air and smiled to Fred.
‘Thanks.’ said Harry. ‘It’s great in here.’ and turned his body to a comfortable posture.
‘It’s not time to sleep yet. Study the books or try to find out something about Voldemort. Remember, I’m in DA too.’
‘Fine.’ said Harry tiredly, stood up his body. ‘Where are we going to?’
‘To the new headquarters. Fred and I had worked on there for months and we finally finished it. We put all kinds of protections and spells on the place, even some of our products. It’s much better than the old one.’ said Fred proudly. ‘We’ll be there at breakfast. If you feel tired, drink the juice in the red bottle in the shelf. I won’t bother you then, work well.’
‘Bye.’ said Harry and opened the diary. It’s a strange feeling. He was looking at an important thing, but his body and mind was so relaxing. He forced himself to concentrate on the book, trying not to close his eyes.
The diary was written in messy words, a letter was clipped in it:
Victor:
These are the diary I wrote when I was a death eater. I knew I would be killed by him at last, so I left this to you. I hope you can understand my words and get rid of my old master; Read my diary and understand how dangerous what he is like, and hope you won’t look down on me after you read this.
P.S. For helping me to revenge. Here are some tips, which may help you:
First: Occlumancy is always important to you. He is one of the greatest Legilimensin the world. Don’t let him know what you’ll do next.
Second: There is something to do with the boy, Potter and you know who. But the pity is I don’t know what it is. Find it out. If will help you a lot on your journey to kill him. Remember this well.
Third: NEVER, Never use dark magic in front of you know who. No one, not even Albus Dumbledore, is better than him at dark magic. Also, defendable charms are important to you when fight against death eaters, but they have no use to be against with him. No charms can defend the Avada kedavra.
Last: He never trust other, and he never treats death eaters as friends. They are like servants to him.
Harry turned over a page. The messy writings on the diary made Harry dizzy little by little. Nevertheless, he carried on his reading. The next few pages were burnt by magic, Karkaroff didn’t seem to want Krum to know how miserable he was when he joined the death eaters. However, the pages below were already worse than every diary Harry had seen.
Dark Lord executed three Muggles. He told us we wizards and witches are better than them. They don’t have the authority to live with us in the same world. I can’t understand why, won’t we be lonely if there are only wizards and witches in the world? Perhaps I’m wrong. Of course I am, Dark Lord is always right.

I finally understand what Dark Lord means. Muggles knew we are much better than them, so they tried let us disappear from the world, just like what happened in the Middle Ages. It’s time to have the people without a drop of magic blood killed, we will make the world better like this with peoples better than them. Thank you, Dark Lord! For helping me to understand the truth!
Harry viewed the next few pages quickly, then something caught his eye, it was something Harry used to wonder about- what’s the party of death eaters for?
I sometimes wonder what we death eaters are for. I wonder if it if for fun or have some other designs. Today, Dark Lord gave us a speech about it. I finally understand why.
We, the ones who can control the dark magic, has something the others doesn’t have. We can kill easily, do everything we want by using dark magic. That’s the reason we are special. We can use our special powers to control everything, everyone we want to. Dark Lord told us he would take over the Ministry of Magic someday, at that time; we death eaters can have a great right on doing the things we want to do.
But some peoples, like Muggles and Mudbloods, don’t have the right to live with us. We must kill them all otherwise we’ll be tainted by them. I agree with Dark Lord. Someday when he take over the Ministry, I’ll teach the other wizards and witches a lesson, to tell them what is right!
Harry sighed, why does anyone believe in this kind of strange ideas? Is Karkaroff a man? Where is their sympathy? Muggles are life too. They just live in different ways with us, why are wizards and witches always better?
Rodolphus Restrong and Bellatrix Black joined us. I wondered why they joined us. Though they treated Dark Lord well, I still don’t think working under Dark Lord can satisfy their ambition. They are too full of themselves. I think the only thing made them joined us is they love dark arts too. they often study it together in secret places. I’d love to join their studying, but I won’t. I hate them, they are not true to Dark Lord.
I told what I think to Regulus, but he laughed at me and told me I must be crazy. He was right, Dark Lord knows everything, he will know it if they wanted to betray him. Oh! Dark Lord! You’re the Best!
Harry closed the diary; it will not really help him if he continued reading. It would be much better for him to study Occlumency or nonverbal spells. He did not want to wake Hermione up. He merely stood there and practice nonverbal floating charm.

The sky was getting brighter and brighter. Harry had drunk the red bottle of potion. It is an amazing feeling, the tiring and fatigue of the day was gone at once when he drank it. He decided to ask for more of them when he arrives the new headquarters. Because of the potion, Harry finished practicing all kind of simple nonverbal charms, the methods and tips of learning them were all well described in it. Harry never knew he could learn charms so quickly. The writer must have been a great teacher. Every charm seemed easy to learn from his exposition.
The speed of the portkey had slowed down. The view could be seen clearly from the transparent wall. They were flying to a mount, which rose straight up from the level ground. Rivers surrounded the mount like a fosse, and the top of the mount was covered with clouds. At the middle of it, there was an overhanging cliff. They landed right on it.
‘Still need a walk.’ said Fred when he saw Harry’s lightning flew to them. Harry walked out of the lightning. Lupin, Hermione and Ron were waiting there with Fred. He set off to Fred’s side.
‘Why?’
‘We won’t want anyone to know where we are, even they got our portkey.’ said Fred seriously. ‘Though they might be killed if they don’t know how to get inside.’ he whispered and laughed with Harry loudly. They walked pass three huge rocks and got into a great cave. It made Harry wondered if he could remember how to get in or not. They climbed up in the hot and wet cave and a huge rock stood in front of them. Fred knocked the rock three times and stepped backward.
‘Password?’ asked twenty voices at the same time.
‘Extra old Rhine wine.’ said Fred. The door opened slowly. Mr.Weasley smiled happily to greet them. Harry looked inside; no one was there except Tonks and Lupin. Fred looked at him and smiled.
‘Recorder, Muggle’s stuff, simple but useful.’ explained Fred. ‘Dad’s suggestion.’ he added after the went out of the room.
‘Harry, Ron, Hermione, when have you come?’ asked a happy voice behind them. Harry turned back and saw Luna smiling at him. ‘Everyone is waiting for you at the dining room, follow me.’
They arrived into a huge dining hall. Most people in the Order of Phoenix were there. Two long tables of savoury foods made them joined the others quickly. After making sure everyone were talking without distraction. He waved to Hermione to call her. It’s about time to make a plan for their next action.
‘Hermione, I think I know where is one of the Horcrux.’ said Harry quietly; looking around and make sure no one was looking at them.
‘What? Are you sure?’ asked Hermione surprisingly. ‘How did you find it out?’
‘Remember what I told you about the memory from the house elf, Hokey?’ asked Harry. Hermione nodded to him. He had a deep breathe and continued. ‘The old lady, Hepzibah, must be the heir of Helga Hufflepuff, or to have something to do with her. So, perhaps Voldemort made a Horcrux after he killed her. Just like what he did to Morfin. Therefore, if we went to the house, we may-’
‘Find the Horcrux. Yes, I think you are right.’ said Hermione. ‘I’ll try to find out where the house is. It won’t be hard. I will only have to check the murdering cases in the past fifty years. I’ll go and ask for the books.’ She ran to Lupin but Harry pulled her back. ‘Not now, Hermione.’ Hermione turned and looked at him.
‘After they have gone.’ explained Harry. ‘And I need your help. I need to learn something. See if you can meet me here at midnight.’
‘Fine, learn what?’ asked Hermione. Harry gave her the Occlumency verses Legilimency. She looked at it and nodded. ‘I’ll finish reading it before dinner.’
‘Lets join them, try not to let anyone know.’ said Harry. They walked to thee crowd and started chatting with the others. Nobody noticed two people had left them for a while. They were stilling talking to each other happily, thrown away all their apprehension over the future.
‘Harry, does mom know about you and Ginny?’ asked George interestedly. Harry blushed and said nothing, looking at Fred for help.
‘Harry, I won’t help you.’ laughed Fred. ‘But mom really knows it. Ron and I told her about it. You know, she is quite happy about it.’
‘And dad?’ asked George again, laughing with Fred.
‘I knew it.’ interrupted Mr.Weasley. ‘Well, Harry. I must say I am quite surprised to this, surprised but happy. It’s Molly who told me this and we are all happy for this. We owe you too much, Harry, I think we-’
‘I’m not a merchandise.’ said Ginny, smiling to him with a red face.
‘Sorry, Ginny. I didn’t mean that.’ said Mr.weasley quickly. ‘I mean we are happy about it, just this.’
‘Er…thanks, Mr.Weasley.’ said Harry, trying to find a better word.
‘Always.’ said Mr.Weasley.
‘And what about Ron and Hermione?’ asked Ginny revengefully.
‘Ron and who?’ asked Fred. ‘I suppose I heard something wrong.’
‘Me too.’ said Mr.Weasley. ‘Ron and who?’
‘Hermione.’ said Ginny slowly and clearly.
‘I can’t believe it.’ said Fred and George together.
‘Impossible.’ said Fred.
‘Incredible.’ George added.
‘It is.’ smiled Harry.
‘Lucky boy.’ said Mr.Weasley. ‘Met such a smart girl.’
‘I don’t doubt that.’ said George. ‘But he will also be tired. Poor Ron.’

Harry spent rest of the week in the order. He felt like he doesn’t want to leave here. He was happy and feels wonderful when he was here, especially the time he was with Ginny. Leaving was really a hard choice for him to make. He went to Lupin’s office. Lupin was meditating the new plan to stop the new movement of death eaters. When Harry saw his unswerving and concentration eyes, he sighed, he knew he must.
‘Prof-, I mean Lupin. I think I must leave today.’ said Harry. ‘Hermione found out the exaltedly place we should go.’
‘Have any progress on Occlumency? Or perhaps, nonverbal spells?’ asked Lupin. ‘Or read the “The advanced and the most occult charms”? That’s really a hard book, even some Aurors can’t use some of the spells.’
‘All.’ smiled Harry.
‘Than you shall go.’ said Lupin. ‘Remember, DA will always be ready.’
‘I will call them.’ said Harry. ‘Help me to say goodbye to everyone. I don’t want to wake them up.’
‘I will.’ said Lupin.
‘Bye.’ said Harry and walked out of the room, but Lupin called him back. ‘Wait, Harry. How long will you be out?’
‘One or two days, if successfully.’ said Harry. ‘Anything else?’
‘Come back in three days, if you can.’ said Lupin. ‘I’ll be happy if you’re here. Bye.’
‘Bye.’
‘Remember the DA, Harry!’

Hermione took out her hand-written map and showed it to Harry and Ron, and Hermione helped them to Apparite to the place. It was a glorious view. A long path of jasmine led them to the front door with red carpets; a great green pond with fishes and water snakes are at the side of the garden. Two potted roses stood at the door, but the house looked desolate. The grand door was hung up lopsidedly. Nobody seemed to live here after the terrible thing happened here.
‘Hermione, are you sure here is the place we are looking for?’ asked Ron uncertainly. ‘We don’t have to get in this kind of place, right?’
‘Here must be the place.’ said Hermione sharply. ‘I’ve checked for-’
‘Than you go first.’ said Ron.
‘I-’ said Hermione, but stopped when she saw Harry walked in.
‘Come on.’ frowned Harry. ‘Are you two in Gryffindor?’
Ron looked at Hermione, and walked in together with her. The corridor was covered with a coat of dust. Old paintings and sculpture looked scary in the slight light. Harry pulled out the wand and stepped forward carefully.
‘Is it necessary to grab others hand this tight?’ bantered Harry. Ron swung his hand from Hermione’s immediately. Hermione blushed and pretended to be checking the room. Harry laughed and helped her.
They looked in everyone room they could find, but strangely, nothing to do with magic was found. Not even a protection of the house.
‘Nothing is inside.’ said Hermione quietly.
‘Check once more.’ said Harry. ‘There is hope, still.’
‘I hope there is.’ muttered Ron. ‘Will there be a back room?’
‘You can check for that.’ said Harry, waving his wand every corner his could reach. He really hoped he could check this place as precise as Dumbledore could. He knew the Horcrux must be hidden somewhere here. Wherever it was, he would have to find it out.
‘I can’t find a thing.’ said Ron.
‘So do I.’ said Harry unwillingly. ‘Maybe we should go.'

第五章

第5章
回到鳳凰會
哈利轉身看攻擊喀浪的那個人，那是一個拿著一根又長又黑魔杖的瘦小男人。那人把他的魔杖擺在胸前，用一個威脅地姿勢指著喀浪。榮恩和妙麗立刻拉出他們的魔杖，哈利把他的手放進口袋，但令人吃驚的是，哈利的動作猶豫不決。 他仍然未成年，並且他知道這次沒人可以幫助他。
兩道昏擊咒飛過哈利的頭上，那個人高聲大笑並把咒語轉移到旁邊的櫃子上。櫃子閃出一陣紅光，然後碎成一片片的。那個人再次大笑並且開始用酷刑咒對付他們，但似乎沒有人察覺到那個沒參加戰鬥的哈利存在。
榮恩和妙麗同時對那個人施展咒語，那個人笑得更大聲了，他再次揮動他的魔杖，並且封住他們的咒語。咒語直接打到榮恩的背後，榮恩痛苦的大叫。突然，憤怒取代了哈利心中的躊躇，他向那個人舉起他的魔杖。
「整整，石化!」哈利大叫。他的咒語衝破那個人的防禦，但是仍然被那個人閃開。他驚訝的看著哈利，但是那個表情很快就消失了。
「越來越有趣了。」那個人邪惡的笑道，他那張嘲弄的臉消失了，他威脅地看著哈利。
「阿哇坦喀坦拉! 」
「咒咒虐! 」一個憂鬱的聲音大叫，哈利放低他的頭並閃躲那個索命咒。喀浪站在他後面，憤怒地揮動他的魔杖，他把一道一道咒語射向那個人，那個人被逼的一直後退。哈利知道他們用的全是黑魔法。
「阿哇坦喀坦拉! 」兩到綠光在半空中碰撞，他們兩個都向後退了一步。喀浪看起來疲倦，哈利向妙麗點了點頭，知道他們必須幫助他，喀浪不可能靠他自己打贏。
全部的人都開始攻擊那個人。哈利想知道他是誰，他已經和很多食死人作戰過，但是他們沒一個像他一樣。那個人可以輕易地躲閃他們的咒語，甚至是喀浪發出的最邪惡地詛咒。除了鄧不利多和佛地魔，他不知道有人能這樣戰鬥，一個食死人怎麼也不可能像這樣戰鬥。他知道他們將要施展什麼咒語，並且在他們施展出來之前將咒語擋住。他們四個人正如在他的手裡的玩具一樣，甚至沒有人能碰觸到他。
「咄咄矢! 」哈利大叫，但是那個人施展相同的咒語卻不須發出聲音。哈利被咒語打到，但那個人大笑並且躲過哈利的咒語。哈利倒下並且昏過去。

「波特先生。」一種不吉祥的聲音說。「我抓住了你和你的朋友，黑魔王將對這感到滿意。」
「你是一個食死人?」
「當然。」那個人自豪地說。「黑魔王曾經有的最好的一個食死人，那個殺死哈利波特的人。」
「但是為什麼你在這裡？」
「在你把黑魔王帶離開我們後，我設法逃離魔法部的追蹤。我努力殺死全部背叛者，但是石內卜在鄧不利多的保護之中，我找不到任何一個下手的機會。」那個人繼續道。「我的下一個目標是卡卡夫，但是我找不到德姆蘭。學校全部被安全地隱藏住，我感到沮喪，我真的想要處罰背叛我們的小伙子。」
「但是我的機會來了。」那個人說。「黑魔王回來了，他派我到這裡殺死那個白痴卡卡夫，但是我被黑魔法困住在日記裡。除這個男孩之外，接觸日記的每個人-」他停止並且指著喀浪。「都將昏倒。在他接觸日記之後，咒語將被解除。」
「但是他不是死了嗎？ 他怎麼能－」
「小鬼，那是黑魔法，你不可能會理解它。還有什麼問題嗎？」那個人問，一邊在哈利面前揮動他的魔杖。哈利試著搶奪他的魔杖，但是他唯一抓到的是一根管子，奇怪的嘟嘟聲從這根管中傳出來。哈利注視它，他不知道他將把這樣的東西放進他的口袋。
「你看起來好像找不到你的魔杖。」那個人嘲笑地說。 「小鬼，我說的對嗎？」他大聲笑起來，哈利對他怒目而視。
「沒有問題嗎？那現在應該輪到我問了。」那個人邪惡地說。「你想要我先殺死誰？你那群傻朋友中的哪一個？」
「為什麼要問－ 」
「為了讓你在死前還感到對不起你的朋友。當我數到三時，給我一個答案，或者某人將－哈! 哈﹗ 哈﹗」哈利傷心看他的朋友，他們都被打昏了。他們才剛剛開始打敗佛地魔的旅行，甚至他們現在還沒有一點線索。
「三-二-」算那個人。「一﹗」 哈利閉上他的眼睛他不想要看它。
「阿哇坦喀坦拉! 」那個人大叫。哈利再度閉上他的眼睛，他不想再看。
「你想要我下一個殺死誰？」那個人笑著說。哈利不想理他，誰先已經沒什麼差別了，他們終究會死在一起。
「啊哈﹗就那個女孩﹗」那個人說，一邊看著哈利。哈利低頭看著地板。
「再見，妙麗。」哈利傷心地說，他悄悄注視她。「再見。 」
「阿哇坦喀坦-」 一道紅光打中那個人的背後，那個人帶著奇怪的微笑向後看，然後倒了下來。哈利向後看，兩個熟悉的人走向他們。哈利不能在深色光裡清楚看清楚他們的臉，但是他感覺其中一個人可能是和他差不多年紀。高的人走向前，並且用他的魔杖指向榮恩和妙麗，不久他們就張開眼睛。
「路平教授! 」妙麗吃驚的大叫。「為什麼你－」
「等一下再談。」路平平靜的說，他走向喀浪並且皺起了眉頭。榮恩和妙麗看看彼此，想知道發生了什麼事。
「它死了。」路平說。「把它留在這裡，我們該走了。」
「我帶來了港口鑰，教授。」後面傳來說話的聲音，他從口袋中取出一些銀色的東西。
「奈威! 」榮恩大叫愉快。「你為什麼在這裡？」
「我們從弗雷那裡的到的消息，他叫我們來這救你。」奈威激動地說。「大多數的DA都想要來，但是路平教-」
「奈威，夠了。」 路平說「如果我們太晚回去，瘋眼會趕過來。我們最好用那些港口鑰，趕快趕回去。」 哈利看了看港口鑰，他第一眼就認出哪個是他的，閃電模型的那個。
「轉向一號並且按按鈕。」路平再次說。每人把轉車台轉向一號，並且按下在它之上的按鈕。港口鑰開始拉他們，拉著他們。

他們在一個充滿閃爍物品的房間裡，是一個充滿銀色港口鑰的房間。在他們旁邊有隻銀色眼睛，銀色的字－穆敵被刻在上頭。哈利看著一個個的港口鑰，他發現妙麗的是一本書，路平的是月亮。哈利微笑並且看榮恩的港口鑰，榮恩已經把它丟到地上，那是一隻－
「蜘蛛﹗」榮恩大叫憤怒。「誰做的？ 」
「我也不喜歡我的形狀。」路平說。「但是我認為沒有必要問那個問題。」
「弗雷和喬治。」榮恩低聲說。
「完全正確。」路平說。「他們對鳳凰會真的有用。他們喜歡發明，並且他們的大多數發明十分有用，而且他們總是努力使發明儘可能有趣。」
「在鳳凰會裡發生了什麼事？」哈利問。「有沒有有任何關於佛地魔的消息?」
「我們有許多會議，我們投票選出新領導人，然後我被選上了。」 路平說。 「而且，我們沒有關於食死人的訊息。」
「教授，衛斯理太太正在叫我們。」奈威說。
「我聽到了。」路平說。「她只是叫我們去吃晚餐，進去告訴她我有重要的事情要告訴哈利。」這時奈威從房間走出來。
「我們在你之下組一支軍隊，哈利。」路平在奈威走出房間後繼續道。「成員大多數是你的老朋友。」
「DA嗎？」榮恩問。
「當然。」路平說。
「這太危險了。」哈利擔心低說。「我不能－」
「你要學著相信他們，這很重要。」
「我相信他們，但是－」
「他們會為了幫你打仗而感到光榮，甚至犧牲生命也在所不惜。」路平嚴肅地說。「要找到這種朋友真的很不容易。」
「好吧。」哈利說。「他們可以幫助我們。」
「哈利!」妙麗譴責地說。「我們不能－」
「我們可以。」三個聲音堅定地說。露娜，金妮和丁正站到門口。「我們很高興聽到你那麼說，哈利。」妙麗嘆了一口氣。
「那事情就結束了。」路平說，一邊打呵欠。「使用DA過去常使用的金加隆， 或許它應該被叫為HA了。」大家一起笑著並和路平走下樓。

烤牛肉和蒸蝦的氣味飛進每個人的鼻子中。榮恩正把食品放進嘴中，好像喝水一般。妙麗正在桌子的另一邊和金妮交談。哈利坐在他的位子上，他想知道那個人怎樣解除他的咒語。他的魔法一定出了問題，這是一個必須克服的問題。
「哈利，你為什麼不吃？」衛斯理太太在後面問。哈利迅速把炸雞放進他的嘴裡，衛斯理太太微笑並且坐下。食物充滿哈利的胃之後，他和路平開始交談。
「教授，我發現有些人可以在我施咒前預知我要施的魔咒。」
「我不是一位教授，叫我雷木思或是路平。」路平說「但如果你說的是真的話， 你最好練習－」
「鎖心術。」 哈利說。「有其他方法嗎？」
「那是最好的方法。」路平說。「或者無聲咒。」
「是，你能教我嗎？ 」
「是的，或許吧，但不是現在。」他丟了兩本書給哈利。「這些是你能找到最好的書，由一位鄧不利多的老朋友所寫。如果你有問題，可以去問妙麗，她對書本的領悟力很強。」 哈利微笑並且看著這些書，全部都是愛倫陳寫的。
「我已經在進階變形學上看過他的名字! 」
「他是高階魔法書最好的作家。現在很難找到他的書，因為只有極少屬的人能理解它。」
「我將努力讀這些書。」哈利說。
「還有日記。」路平接著說，同時站起來並且離開桌子。「跟我來，哈利。」 哈利跟隨他到天郎星過去讓枯翅住的地方。路平揮動他的魔杖，兩把椅子在房間中出現。 」
「坐下。」路平說。「哈利，我們知道你是唯一能殺死佛地魔的的人-」
「你怎麼知道的?」哈利問。
「太簡單了，鄧不利多決不叫我們攻擊他，他只是努力破壞他的計畫或者保護生命。」他停止說話並且看著哈利。「不要擔心，只有我和米奈娃知道它。」
「謝了。」
「告訴DA要做什麼，並且告訴他們為什麼。」路平說。「我們將確保他們時時刻刻準備好給你消息。記得用天郎星的鏡子，這比其他東西安全很多。」
「你搞錯了一件事，教授，我仍然在鳳凰會裡。」哈利說。「鳳凰會還會做什麼嗎？」
「我再說一次，我不是教授。還有，雖然我們不能殺死佛地魔，但是食死人呢?」路平說，和哈利一起大笑起來。

榮恩已經睡著。月光照在哈利的床上，他翻開從路平那邊拿來的書--鎖心術的奧妙。路平是對的，他不能理解大多數的句子，他蓋上書並開始打呵欠。他的父母的照片站在他的床頭上，對著他微笑。哈利拿下他的眼鏡。
「我將要求妙麗明天教我。」他告訴自己，並且把他的頭放在枕頭下。
哈利的夢被一響亮的聲音打醒，腳步聲在樓梯上下迴旋。他拉出他的魔杖並且穿上他的大衣，這一定是鳳凰會的警鈴。他打開門並且發現路平站在那裡。
「找到你的港口鑰!」他大叫。「瘋眼! 金利! 亞瑟! 去前門﹗東施! 米奈娃! 把其餘帶到那個地方﹗」
「發生什麼事？」榮恩疲倦的問，妙麗也跑向他們。
「石內卜現在領導食死人隊來這裡。」路平說。「你必須離開，哈利!港口鑰調到二號!」
「他怎麼辦到的？」妙麗問。
「他利用我們更改新守密人前的時間。我們必須離開﹗」
「我們將留下。」哈利堅定地說，榮恩和妙麗在他後面點頭。路平注視他們一秒，終於點頭答應。他們走到門口，穆敵、金利和衛斯理先生已經在那裡。
「快要，他們幾乎快要到了。」穆敵說。「在所有人離開之前，我們不能離開。」 大家舉起他或她的魔杖，為可能發生的一切事情做好準備。
一個令人厭惡的聲音大聲地穿過大門。憤怒突然向沸水一樣在哈利的身體中流串。穆敵的眼睛迅速對著門外轉動一圈。
「阿哈! 我看見鳳凰會的傻門。」石內卜說。「在那兒。」
「大約十五個食死人和超過二十個行屍。」穆敵低聲道。「簡簡單單就可以解決了。」
「密密膠! 」哈利說和妙麗同時低聲地施咒。門發出一個小的聲音並且被咒語鎖住。路平在背後給他們一個做得好的手勢。
「它鎖住了。」一種聲音從外面傳來，轉動球形門柄。
「阿拉佫姆拉!」但是沒有什麼事情發生。
「看起來你真的需要加強你的符咒技能。」石內卜嘲弄的說。「要打開門太簡單了。阿哇坦喀坦拉! 」門立刻被燃燒成灰燼。
穆敵和衛斯理先生揮動他們的魔杖，石內卜以及二位食死人被往後撞。哈利看著榮恩和妙麗，他們跑到行屍旁，揮動魔杖並且在行屍身上燒火。八個食死人包圍路平和金利，但是食死人都不能接近他們。衛斯理先生正和兩個食死人打鬥， 兩個食死人都被逼的一直向後退。穆敵打昏了兩個食死人，他緩慢地走向石內卜，但是石內卜卻現影離開。
哈利、榮恩和妙麗驅逐了全部的行屍。他們跑到門口，發現路平正和一個巨大食死人打鬥。食死人一直施索命咒，但是全部被路平躲開。路平彎下自己的身體，並且施給他一個咒語，那個食死人厭惡地看著路平並倒了下來。穆敵怒目而視其餘的食死人，他們看起來很害怕，都拋下了他們的魔杖。其中一個食死人仍然沒有投降，他跳起來並且努力地想殺死衛斯理先生，衛斯理先生嘆口氣並且凍僵它的身體。
「總是派白痴過來。」穆敵輕蔑地說。
「我同意。」金利說。「他們也太看輕我們了。」
「稍後談論它。」說衛斯理先生。「茉莉可能已經煮好晚餐了。 」「我同意。」路平說，這時每個人都取出他們的港口鑰。「二號，哈利。」

Chapter 5
BACK TO THE ORDER
Harry turned and looked at the person who attacked Krum. It was a short and thin man with a long, black wand. He raised his wand in front of his chest, pointing it at Krum in a menacing posture. Ron and Hermione pulled their wand out at once. Harry put his hand in his pocket, but surprisingly, his movement is hesitating. He was still underage, and he knew no one could help this time.
Two stunning spells flew pass Harry's head. The man laughed loudly and shifted the spell to a cupboard beside him. The cupboard shinned in red lights and broke into pieces. The man laughed again and started to case Cruciatus curses to them. No one seemed to have notice Harry, the one who is out of the battle.
Ron and Hermione cased spells together to the man. The man laughed more loudly. He blocked their spells and waved his wand again. It hit right on Ron's back. He yelled loudly painfully. Suddenly, anger displaced the hesitance in Harry’s mind. He lifted his wand to the man.
‘Petrificus Totalus!’ yelled Harry. His spell broke through the man’s defence, but was still dodged by the man. The man looked at him surprisingly, but that expression soon disappeared.
‘That's more fun.’ laughed the man malignantly, but his smirking face vanished. He looked at Harry threateningly.
‘Avada kedavra!’
‘Crucio!’ shouted a gloomy voice. Harry lowed his head and dodged the killing curse. Krum was standing behind him, waving his wand with anger. He shot jet and jets of lights to the man. The man was forced back. But then Harry knew they were all dark magic.
‘Avada kedavra!’ two jets of green light crashed in the air, both of them step backward. Krum looked tired. Harry looked at Hermione and nodded, the knew they have to help. Krum could not win by his own.
Everyone started to attack the man. Harry wondered who he is. He had fought with loads of death eaters, but none of them was like this. The man can dodge their spell easily, even the most evil curse by Krum. He did not know that someone who can fight like this, except Dumbledore and Voldemort, but how a death eater can fights like this. He could know what they will case and block it before they case the spell out. Four of them were just like toys in his hand; no one could even touch him.
‘Stupefy!’ shouted Harry, but the man cased the same spell without a sound. Harry was knocked down by it. The man laughed and dodged Harry’s spell. Harry fell down and fell in a faint.

‘Mr.Potter.’ said a sinister voice. ‘You and your friends were all caught by me. Dark Lord will be happy about this.’
‘You're a death eater?’
‘Certainly.’ said the man proudly. ‘The best one Dark Lord has ever had. The one who killed Harry Potter.’
‘But why are you here?’
‘I escaped from the ministry’s pursuing after the night you took Dark Lord away from us. I tried to kill all the betrayers, but Snape is under Dumbledore's protect. I couldn’t find a chance to do it.’ continued the man. ‘My next target is Karkaroff, but I couldn’t find Durmstrang. Schools are all hidden safely. I felt depressed; I really want to punish the guy who betrayed us.’
‘But my chance came.’ said the man. ‘Dark Lord returned and sent me to here, to kill that idiot Karkaroff, but I was trapped in the diary with dark magic. Everyone who touches the diary, except this boy.’ He stopped and pointed at Krum. ‘Will faint. After he touched the diary, the spell will be lifted.’
‘But isn't he dead? How can the spell-’
‘It is dark magic, kid. You cannot understand it. Have any more questions?’ asked the man, waving his wand in front of Harry’s face. Harry tried to get his wand, but the only thing he touched was a shinny tube. Strange beeping sound issue from the tube. Harry stared at it. He did not know he put anything like this in his pocket.
‘Looks like you can't find your wand.’ said the man jeeringly. ‘Am I right, kid?’ he busted into laughter. Harry glared at him.
‘No question? Then it's my turn now.’ said the man viciously. ‘Who do you want me to kill first? Which one of your silly friends?’
‘Why do you-’
‘To let you feel sorry for your friends before your death. When I count to three, give me an answer, or someone will…Ha! Ha! Ha!’ Harry looked at his friends sadly. They were stunned. They have just begun their trip to destroy Voldemort, and they did not even have a hint yet.
‘Three. Two.’ counted the man. ‘One!’ Harry closed his eyes. He did not want to look at it.
‘Avada kedavra!’ shouted the man. Harry looked down sadly, he didn’t want to see anything.
‘Who do you want me to kill next?’ laughed the man. Harry ignored him. There will be no differences. He will be with them soon.
‘Aha! The girl!’ said the man, looking at Harry. Harry looked down to the ground.
‘Goodbye, Hermione.’ said Harry sadly. He stared at her silently. ‘Bye.’
‘Avada keda-’
A jet of red light shot to the man's back. The man looked backward with a strange smile and fell down. Harry turned back, two familiar men walked to them. Harry could not see their faces clearly in the dark light, but could tell that one of them might be about the same age with him. The tall man walked forward and lowed his wand to Ron and Hermione, they soon opened their eyes.
‘Professor Lupin!’ yelled Hermione surprisingly. ‘Why are you-’
‘Talk about it later.’ said Lupin calmly. He walked to Krum and lour at him. Ron and Hermione looked at each other, wondering what happened to him.
‘Dead.’ said Lupin. ‘Leave him here. It's time to go.’
‘I've brought the portkeys, professor.’ said a voice behind him, taking out some silver things from his pocket.
‘Neville!’ yelled Ron happily. ‘Why are you here?’
‘We've got the message from Fred and we came to here.’ said Neville excitedly. ‘Most of the DA's wanted to come, but profess-’
‘Enough, Neville.’ said Lupin. ‘Mad-eye will come if we went back to late. We had better get back quicker. Use the portkey.’ Harry look at the portkeys. He knew which one was his at the first sight, it was a model of a lightning.
‘Turn to number one and press the button.’ said Lupin again. Everyone turned the turntable to number one and pressed the small button on top of it. The portkey started to pull them, pulling them.

They were now in a room full of shinny things. It was a room full of silver portkeys. The one next to them is a sliver eye with the golden name “Moody” on it. Harry looked at other’s portkey and found out Hermione’s was a book, Lupin’s was a moon. Harry smiled and looked at Ron’s. Ron had thrown it on the ground. It’s a-
‘Spider!’ yelled Ron angrily. ‘Who made this?’
‘I don't like mine’s shape too.’ said Lupin. ‘But I think that there's no need to ask that.’
‘Fred and George.’ muttered Ron.
‘Correct.’ said Lupin. ‘They are really useful to the order. They like to create, and most of their inventions are quite useful. Though they always tried to make them as funny as they could.’
‘What going on in the order?’ asked Harry. ‘Have any information about Voldemort?’
‘We had a lot of meeting. We voted for the new leader, and I was chosen.’ said Lupin. ‘And we've got no information about the death eaters.’
‘Professor, Mrs.Wesley is calling us.’ said Neville.
‘I heard it.’ said Lupin. ‘She's just calling us for dinner. Go in there and tell her I have something important to tell Harry.’ Neville walked out of the room.
‘We've got an army under you, Harry.’ continued Lupin after Neville went out of the room. ‘Most of them are your old friends.’
‘DA?’ asked Ron.
‘Certainly.’ said Lupin.
‘It is too dangerous.’ said Harry worriedly. ‘I can't-’
‘You must learn to trust them. It's important.’
‘I do. But-’
‘They will all be honored to fight for you, even sacrifice.’ said Lupin seriously. ‘It isn’t easy to find friends like this.
‘Fine.’ said Harry. ‘They can help us.’
‘Harry!’ said Hermione reproachfully. ‘We can't-’
‘We can.’ said three voices firmly. Luna, Ginny and Dean were standing at the door. ‘We are glad to hear that, Harry.’ Hermione sighed.
‘It’s over then.’ said Lupin, yawning. ‘Use the Galleons that DA used to use. Perhaps it should be called “HA” now.’ Everyone laughed and walked downstairs with Lupin.

Smells of roasted beef and steamed shrimps flew into everyone’s noses. Ron was putting food into his mouth as though his was drinking. Hermione was talking with Ginny on the other side of the table. Harry stood at his seat. He wondered how the man foresees his spell. There must be something wrong in his magic, something that he must overcome.
‘Harry, why don't you eat?’ asked Mrs.Weasley at the back. Harry put the fried chicken in his mouth promptly. Mrs.Weasley smiled and sat down. After food filled Harry’s stomach. He and Lupin began to talk.
‘Professor, I found out that someone can know what spell that I’m going to use before I case it.’
‘I’m not a professor. Call me Remus or Lupin.’ said Lupin. ‘But if the thing you said is true. You better practice-’
‘Occlumency.’ said Harry. ‘Is there another way?’
‘That’s the best way.’ said Lupin. ‘Or nonverbal spells.’
‘Right, can you teach me?’
‘Yes, maybe, but not now.’ He threw three books to Harry. ‘These are the best books you can find about them, written by an old friend of Dumbledore. If you have questions, go and ask Hermione. She has great understandings with books.’ Harry smiled and looked at them. Allen Chen wrote them all.
‘I've seen his name on the Advanced Transfiguration!’
‘He is the best writer of advanced magic books. But it is really hard to find his books, because rare people can understand it.’
‘I will try to read them.’ said Harry.
‘And the Diary.’ added Lupin. He stood up and left the table. ‘Follow me, Harry.’ Harry followed him to the room that Sirius used to kept witherwings. Lupin waved his wand and two chairs appeared in the middle of the room.
‘Sit down.’ said Lupin. ‘Harry, we knew that you're the only person who can kill Voldemort-’
‘How do you know that?’ asked Harry.
‘It's too simple. Dumbledore never told us to attack him. We just try to spoil his plans or protect lives.’ He stopped and looked at Harry. ‘Don't worry, only me and Mcgonagall know it.’
‘Thanks.’
‘Tell the DAs what to do and tell them why. ’ said Lupin. ‘We'll make sure that they are ready at every moment and give information to you. Use Sirius’ mirror, its much safer than other things.’
‘You got something wrong, professor. I am still in the order.’ said Harry. ‘What else can the order do?’
‘Again, I'm not a professor. And, though we can't kill Voldemort, How about the death eaters?’ said Lupin, and laughed loudly with Harry.

Moonlights shine on Harry’s bed. Ron was already asleep. He opened the Tips of Occlumency from Lupin. Lupin was right; he could not understand most of the words. He closed the book and yawned. The picture of his parents is at the head of his bed, both smiling at him. Harry took off his glasses.
‘I'll ask Hermione to teach me tomorrow.’ He told himself, and put his head under his pillow.
A loud ringing interrupted Harry’s dream. Sounds of foot stepping ran up and down the stairs. He pulled his wand out and put on his overcoat. It must be the alarm bell of the order. He opened the door and find Lupin standing there.
‘Find your portkey!’ he yelled. ‘Mad-eye! Kingsley! Arthur! To the front door! Tonks! Mcgonagall! Lead the rest to that place!’
‘What’s going on?’ asked Ron tiredly, as Hermione running to them.
‘Snape is now leading the death eaters to here.’ said Lupin. ‘Leave, Harry! Number two with the portkey!’
‘How?’ asked Hermione.
‘He used the time before we changed our new secret-keeper. Leave!’
‘We’ll stay.’ said Harry firmly. Ron and Hermione nodded behind him. Lupin stared at them for a second, and finally nodded. They walked down to the door. Moody, Kingsley and Mr.Weasley were already there.
‘Be quite, they are almost here.’ said Moody. ‘We can't leave before everyone left.’ Everyone lifted their wand, ready for everything that might happen.
A loud, detestable voice came through the door. Anger suddenly ran in Harry’s body like boiling water. Moody’s eyes turned a circle quickly at the door.
‘Aha! I saw the silly door of the order.’ said Snape. ‘Right there.’
‘About fifteen death eaters and over twenty Inferi.’ said Moody in a low voice. ‘Easy to handle.’
‘Colloportus.’ whispered Harry and Hermione at the same time. The door issued a small sound and was locked by the spell. Lupin gave them a well-done gesture on the back.
‘Its locked.’ said a voice outside, turning the knob. ‘Alohomora!’ but nothing happened.
‘Looks like you really needed to practice your skill at charms.’ mocked Snape. ‘It's too simple to unlock it. Avada kedavra!’ The door was burnt in ashes at once.
Moody and Mr.weasley waved theirs wand. Snape and two death eaters were knocked back. Harry looked at Ron and Hermione, running out to the Inferi, waving their wand and set fires on them. Eight death eaters, surrounded Lupin and Kingsley, but the death eaters could not get closer to them. Mr.Weasley was fighting against two death eaters; both of them were now forced backward and backward. Moody stunned two death eaters, walking slowly to Snape, but Snape Apparited away.
Harry, Ron and Hermione had repelled all the inferi. They ran back to the door. Lupin was now fighting with a giant death eater. The death eater shot and shot killing curses to him, but were all dodged by Lupin. Lupin twisted and shot a spell to him. He looked at Lupin loathingly and fell down. Moody glared at the rest of death eaters. They looked scared and dropped their wand. One of them still did not surrender. He jumped up and tried to kill Mr.Weasley with all his might. Mr.Weasley sighed and froze his body.
‘Always sent idiots to us.’ said Moody disdainfully.
‘I agree.’ said Kingsley. ‘They look too low of us.’
‘Talk about it later.’ said Mr.weasley. ‘Molly might have already finished cooking dinner.’

‘I agree.’ said Lupin, as everyone took out their portkey. ‘Number two, Harry.’

保存的日記
海水在哈利四周用一種使人頭暈的高速旋轉，他完全無法看見裡面的任何東西，甚一條魚都不能，他唯一能看見的是高速旋轉水和喀浪的掃帚後端。哈利嘗試著不要碰到水，他想知道妙麗是否也能做到。他緊跟在喀浪後方，但是他身上的每一吋皮膚都希望能離開這個奇怪的隧道。喀浪越飛越快，好像知道哈利在想什麼似的。
「快一點﹗」喀浪高聲叫道。「沃們必須在快一點﹗並且小心那些水﹗」
「為什麼？」榮恩在哈利背後問。
「那麼快很危險耶！喀浪。」妙麗說。
「請試試，否則我們將陷入更大的危險。」喀浪說，一邊說一邊加速。哈利試著加速並維持在喀浪後方，他想知道下一刻將會發生什麼事。
「告訴我們為什麼﹗」榮恩用一副不滿的表情叫道，但是喀浪不回答他。在那之後榮恩馬上得到了答案。隧道的入口瞬間關閉，沃特斯直接沖進隧道裡。
「阿阿阿阿阿阿阿阿阿! 」榮恩和妙麗叫道，他們加速到幾乎跌下來的高速，哈利也跟著立即加速。他們更迅速的往終點飛去，看見一扇刻有小字的銅門，但是沒有人有機會看清楚。哈利揮動他的魔杖打開門，他們全部被水推了進去
「噴噴障!」榮恩大叫，他的魔杖指著門口。透過榮恩的咒語，門被推回了原來的位置
「鎖鎖牢!」妙麗繼續施咒，在門關上之後，她的咒語立刻鎖住門。哈利給她讚美的微笑，並且從小池塘中站起來，他的長袍全濕了，他揮了揮他的魔杖，然後發出熱空氣弄乾他們的衣服。
「謝謝，哈利。」妙麗說。「我認為該出發了。」
「沒錯。」喀浪說，一邊騎上他的掃帚。
「你去哪兒？」榮恩問。
「那裡。」喀浪回答，用手指著屋頂，哈利和榮恩舉起頭看著屋頂，發現一扇刻有一些圖案的小木門。喀浪取出那個又舊又小的銀色鑰匙交給哈利，哈利拿著它飛到門邊。他把這把鑰匙推進鎖眼內，門緩慢地打開，好像有東西推它一樣。 哈利飛進去，感覺到房中的熱氣，其他人也跟著他走進來。
他們進去之後，門也正好自己關上。哈利和妙麗看著彼此，他們在對方眼中都看見了恐懼。他們到處看看房間，房間的中間一個巨大鮮紅的球，一片綠色像油一樣的液體圍繞著那顆球。除了那個他們進來的門外，這個房間並沒有出口。 除了球之外，也沒有什麼東西在房間裡。他們站在角落的一塊鋪路石板上，哈利正思索球是怎樣樣進來的。
「這十分簡單，不是嗎？」榮恩愉快的說，一邊輕拍他的掃帚。喀浪對著他微笑，那笑使榮恩感到困窘。
「我意思是－好吧！那總值得一試，不是嗎？」榮恩問，他看著所有的人，期望聽到一些贊同的聲音，但是得不到任何人的答覆。哈利來到榮恩前面，在懸崖上指著他的魔杖。
「紛紛綻! 」一聲巨響，岩石從懸崖上倒下。妙麗和喀浪嘉許地看著他。
「完美的施咒，哈利。」妙麗說。
「力量大到可以撞倒一些人。」喀浪接著說。哈利拿起一粒石頭，他把石頭丟向喀浪，又把另一個石頭扔進綠色的液體。石頭在一瞬間爆炸，爆炸的力量把哈利直直的撞倒門上。
「你還好吧，哈利?」妙麗擔心地問。
「我還好。」哈利說，他輕拍他長袍上的灰塵。「那些是什麼？」
「爆角怪的爆炸液，它非常非常稀有。我想知道卡卡夫是怎麼得到它的。」妙麗回答。「你在做什麼，喀浪? 」
「測試。」喀浪的回答很簡單，他把哈利丟來的石塊投向那顆球，球被燒成灰燼並掉在爆炸液中，然後再度爆炸，。
「如果我們乘坐掃帚，爆炸會發生在我們身上。」哈利對榮恩解釋。
「我們能做什麼清潔爆炸的液體，妙麗? 」
「書上沒有說，其實我並不知道。噢﹗我希望那海格在這裡，他一定會知道，」
「你可不可以讓我們想一下，妙麗?」榮恩說，他們開始提出一些瘋狂的想法，但他們知道這些想法不可能實現。咒語和魔藥一個接著一個的飛過哈利的腦海。妙麗取出她的怪獸書並打開它，開始尋找資料。喀浪坐在一塊大岩石上並陷入沈思。榮恩建議奇怪和瘋狂的想法，雖然他知道沒有一個有用。
突然，一個點子閃過哈利的腦海。他從口袋中取出一個橙色的袋子，取出爆炸卡和術士餅乾。然後，哈利又從袋中取出一面鏡子。
「弗雷! 喬治﹗你們在那裡嗎？」哈利對著鏡子高聲叫著，他的聲音吵醒了喀浪。
「哈利! 你太大聲了﹗」喬治回答他。「弗雷正在照顧那些客戶，到底發生了什麼事？」
「沒什麼事。你們需要爆角怪的爆炸液嗎？我們這裡有很多。」
「我不相信，它真的非常稀有，超過一公升就要三百金加隆。」喬治說。「不要對我說謊。」
「我沒有對你說謊，你能從鏡子看見它。」哈利說，他把鏡子放在爆炸液體的池塘附近。「看到了嗎？你怎樣能得到它？你不能透過現影到達這裡。」
「把鏡子丟進去。」喬治說。
「你發瘋了嗎？」問妙麗。「它會爆炸﹗」
「它不會爆炸。」喬治說。哈利努力相信他，他把鏡子扔進爆炸液體的池塘，並且向後走避。妙麗蓋住她的耳朵，榮恩也一樣。喀浪沒有移動，他只是抬頭看著。
爆炸液的池塘變得越來越小，哈利聽到弗雷在喬治的響亮歡呼聲變得越來越大聲。妙麗的嘴是完全打開的。喀浪站起來給哈利一個大的微笑，哈利也對他微笑，一邊看著池塘的爆炸液體完全消失。
「謝謝，哈利。價值超過兩千金加隆﹗」弗雷說。
「你也已經幫助我們。」哈利說。
「我早就告訴你，這個問題十分簡單。」榮恩說。

他們四個在那紅球附近踱步。哈利認為紅球適用火製造的，因為它實在很熱。 他們不能和它距離少於十米以內，這是他們能忍受最近的距離。
「極極冰! 」妙麗叫著，她用一層霜蓋住紅球，但是霜不久就被融化。妙麗試著一個個的咒語。哈利根本不要想看她，他知道這些咒語都沒有用，沒有一個有用。
「我們將要被融化﹗」榮恩大叫，看著妙麗的魔杖。「我們甚至不知道情況﹗」妙麗停止她的行動，並且再次取出她的書。哈利注視她，想知道她能查到什麼，但是他什麼都沒有說。
「它是什麼？」榮恩再次問。
「握覺得是食火者之石。」這次不是妙麗回答他，是喀浪說。「是在最深的岩漿裡的形成的一種石頭，拖的熱度能讓碰到拖的任何東西在一秒之內燃燒。」
「我找到它了﹗」妙麗驚奇的叫道，指著原始自然魔法材料中的一頁。「中國人利用它的熱度來提高龍噴火的熱度，它的熱不能穿過龍皮。就是它，哈利。它的熱不能穿過龍皮﹗」
「但是我們要怎麼樣才能找到四件龍皮製的長袍？」榮恩問。「我們又不那麼富有﹗」
「沃有一件。」 喀浪說，他從他的袋子裡拿出一件紅色弄皺的長袍。「卡卡夫把拖給我，他說沃有一天將需要拖。」
「它沒有任何幫助。」妙麗說「我們只有一件。」
「它會有。」
「現在不是辯論時間。我們只有一個機會，我們怎麼能放棄它？」榮恩說。大家驚訝的看了看他，都同意他的說法。哈利拿起喀浪的的長袍，並把它向上扔進空中。
長袍蓋住了那紅球，氣溫不久就降了下來。他們不再汗流滿面，哈利感到空氣在一瞬間冷卻。他的身體開始顫抖，他拉出他的魔杖並且揮了揮它，但是什麼都沒有發生。
「我們必須出去﹗」榮恩大叫，他的聲音顫抖並且難以理解。喀浪點頭，並走向紅球旁邊，他把手放在球上，不久就消失在一陣煙霧中。榮恩和妙麗跟隨他，留下哈利單獨在房間裡。哈利想知道喀浪怎樣知道那個方法，他相信這可能是正確的方法。哈利也跟著球前進，他抓住長袍並且在煙內消失。

哈利在一條奇怪的隧道裡，他的身體自動在隧道中飛行。紅色的圖案飛過他的眼睛，哈利被那種速度弄的頭暈。他閉上他的眼睛，努力使他自己相信它只是呼嚕粉。他緊緊抓住那件長袍，希望它不要飛走。他聽到一聲巨響，哈利掉進一個小房間，榮恩、喀浪和妙麗正站在他們的前面。
「我們在那裡？」哈利問，一邊到處看看房間，發現到處都是過期的報紙和舊羊皮紙。環形的天花板比他們都高，小火花圖案刻在上面，天花板下是四扇窗子，魚正在外面游來游去。壯麗的四根花崗岩支柱在窗子下，房間的中間是一個白色的大圓圈。在大圓圈的中間，一本書站在最高的地方。
「沃不知道。」喀浪回答。
「或許在卡卡夫的屋裡，也許吧。」妙麗說。「我們先到處看看，看看我們是否能發現任何有趣的東西。」榮恩與她走向那堆報紙，喀浪在隨便翻閱羊皮紙文稿，哈利在房間到處走走，搜尋是否有異常的任何事物。榮恩好像找到某些事情，他推一份報紙近妙麗並示意她看。妙麗看它並且被它嚇到了，哈利和喀浪也走向前看報紙的內容：
依果‧卡卡夫，一個食死人舊部的屍體在英國北部被一個麻瓜發現，屋頂上有一個巨大的黑魔標記。還好並有被其他人看到。一位魔法部的工作人員表示：「我很高興他死了，他－」
其餘的它被魔法燃燒掉了。
「我已經忘記路平在斜角巷和我們講他已經死了。」榮恩說，對喀浪怒目相視「你騙了我們。」但是喀浪在一瞬間哭出來並且打斷了他，妙麗輕拍他的肩，看了看哈利，尋求他的幫助。
「喀浪，他死的時候一點都不痛苦。當他死時，他沒有感到任何痛苦。」妙麗說，但是喀浪哭的更大聲。哈利知道他的感受，因此他從他的口袋中取出一個小小發亮的東西。
「看一下這個東西。」哈利說;，他把一面鏡子推向他，喀浪看著他。 「這是我的教父留給我的東西。」
「留給你？」喀浪問，臉上充滿著疑問。
「他死了。」哈利說，嘗試不要讓悲哀在他的臉上出現。
「抱歉。」喀浪說。
「不需要那麼說。」哈利說，仔細的看著鏡子「其實他並沒有離開我，不是嗎？」 喀浪最後微笑並且站起來。
「看起來像他也為我留下某些事情。」榮恩說，他走向高處去拿日記，但是他的臉上的微笑不久就消失，他無預警的摔倒。
「榮恩! 」哈利大叫，每個人都來到榮恩身邊。喀浪拾起日記，那時，榮恩張開他的眼睛。
「我死了嗎？」榮恩問「發生了什麼事?」
「阿哇坦喀坦拉! 」在他後面一個很大的聲音叫道。

CHAPTER FOUR
THE KEPT DIARY
Water began whirling around Harry in a high speed that almost made Harry thrown up. He couldn’t see anything out there, not even a fish. The only thing that he could see was the whirling water and the back of Krum’s broom. Harry tried not to touch the water. He wondered if Hermione could do that too. He kept of with Krum closely, as every inches of his skin hoped to leave this strange tunnel as quickly as possible. Krum went faster and faster, as though he knew what Harry was thinking about.
‘Hurry up!’ yelled Krum in a high voice. ‘Ve have to be quick! And vatch out the vater!’
‘Why?’ asked Ron behind Harry.
‘It’s too dangerous to go that fast, Krum.’ said Hermione.
‘Just try or ve will get vin big danger’ said Krum, kept accelerating. Harry speeded up to stay behind, wondering what will happen next.
‘Tell us why!’ yelled Ron with a dissatisfied expression, but Krum didn’t need to answer him. He got the answer soon after he asked that. The entrance of the tunnel suddenly closed. Water rushed straight into the tunnel.
‘Aaaaaaaaaaaaa!’ yelled Ron and Hermione. They accelerate to a high speed that almost crashed. Harry speeded up immediately. They flew more quickly and quickly to the end of it. There was a small copper door with some words on it, but no one has the chance to look clearly at it. Harry waved his wand to open the door, and all them were pushed into it by water.
‘Impedimenta!’ shouted Ron, pointing his wand at the door. The door was pushed back by Ron’s spell.
‘Lovaronock!’ added Hermione. Her spell locked the door right after the door closed. Harry gave her an approvable smile, and stood up from the little sink. His robe was all wet. He gave his wand a little wave and hot air emitted out and dried their clothes.
‘Thanks, Harry.’ said Hermione. ‘I think it’s time to go.’
‘Right.’ said Krum, and mounted on his broom.
‘Where are you going to?’ asked Ron.
‘Vhere.’ answered Krum, pointing at the roof. Harry and Ron raised their head to look at it. There was a small, wooden door with some pattern on it. Krum took out an old, silver, tiny key and handed it to Harry. Harry took it and flew up to the door. He pushed the key in the keyhole. The door opened itself slowly as though something is pushing it. Harry flew inside, and felt the hot heat of the room. The rest of them followed him in.
Just after they went inside, the door closed itself. Harry and Hermione looked at each other, both saw fearfulness in others eyes. They look around the room. A huge, bright red ball was in the middle of the room. Green, oil-like liquid surrounded the ball. There were no doors in the room, except the one they came in; nothing seemed that it could be got in, except the ball. Harry wondered how they could get in. They were standing on a flagstone on the corner.
‘It’s quite simple, isn’t it?’ said Ron happily, patting his broomstick. Krum smiled at him. It made Ron felt embarrassed.
‘I meant that- well, it still worth a try, doesn’t it?’ asked Ron, looking at all of them, hoping for some agreements, but got no reply from anyone. Harry walked pass Ron and pointed his wand at the cliff.
‘Diffindo!’
Rocks fell down from the cliff with a loud bang. Hermione and Krum looked at him admirably.
‘Perfect spell casing, Harry.’ said Hermione.
‘Strong enough to knock someone down.’ added Krum. Harry picked one of the stone and threw it to Krum, and threw another one into the green liquid. The stone exploded in a sudden and its force pushed Harry backwards to the door.
‘Are you all right, Harry?’ asked Hermione worriedly.
‘Fine.’ said Harry, patting the dust on his robe off. ‘What are those?’
‘Erupent’s exploding liquid. It is very, very rare. I wonder how Karkaroff got it.’ answered Hermione. ‘What are you doing, Krum?’
‘Testing.’ answered Krum simply, and threw the rock Harry gave to him to the red ball. The ball was brunt into ashes and fell into the exploding liquid, than it exploded.
‘That’s what would happen to us if we rode our broom.’ explained Harry to Ron. ‘What can we do to clean the exploding liquid, Hermione?’
‘I don’t really know, it isn’t said in some books. Oh! I wish that Higrid were here. He must have know-’
‘Can you let us think, Hermione?’ said Ron, and all of them started thinking of crazy ideas, and they knew perfectly well that none of them would work in his muttering. Spells and potions flew through Harry’s brain one after one. Hermione took out her copy of The Monster Book of Monsters and stroked in open, and started looking for information. Krum sat on a big rock and was in deeply thoughts. Ron was suggesting strange and crazy ideas, though he knew perfectly well that none of his idea would work.
Suddenly, something appeared in Harry’s mind. He took out an orange bag from his pocket, and took out things like exploding cards, wizard crackers. Finally, Harry took a mirror out of it.
‘Fred! George! Are you there?’ yelled Harry loudly at the mirror; his voice woke Krum up with a start.
‘Harry! Too loudly!’ yelled George back to him. ‘Fred is taking care of the customers. What’s going on?’
‘Nothing. Do you want some Erupent’s exploding liquid? I’ve got loads of them.’
‘I don’t believe you. It is too rare, over three hundred Galleons for a liter.’ said George. ‘Don’t lie to me.’
‘I’m not lying to you, you can see it from the mirror.’ said Harry, put the mirror near the pond of exploding liquid. ‘See it? How can you get it? You can’t get here by Appariting.’
‘Throw the mirror into it.’ said George.
‘Are you crazy?’ asked Hermione. ‘It will explode!’
‘It won’t.’ said George. Harry tried to believe him; he threw the mirror into the pond of exploding liquid, and step backwards. Hermione covered her ears and so did Ron. Krum didn’t move, he merely raised his head and looked at it.
The pond of exploding liquid were getting smaller and smaller as Harry heard Fred at George’s cheering got louder and louder. Hermione’s mouth was wide open. Krum stood up and gave Harry a big smile. Harry smiled back to him, and looked at the pond of exploding liquid until the finally disappeared.
‘Thanks, Harry. That is over two thousand Galleons!’ said Fred.
‘You’d helped us too.’ said Harry.
‘I’ve told you. It’s quite simple.’ said Ron.

Four of them walked near the red ball. Harry thought that the red ball was made by fire because of its heat. They couldn’t get closer then ten meters, it was the closest range they could stand.
‘Frenorious!’ yelled Hermione, and a layer of frost covered the ball, but it soon melted. Hermione tried one spell after one. Harry didn’t want to look at it. He knew well that they wouldn’t work, not even one.
‘We’re going to be melted!’ yelled Ron, looking at Hermione’s wand. ‘We don’t even know what it is!’ Hermione stopped her moves, and took out her books again. Harry stared at her, wondering what she could find out, but nothing came out her mouth.
‘What is it?’ asked Ron again.
‘Fironier’s stone. I doubt.’ but this wasn’t answered by Hermione. It’s Krum. ‘The stone which can only be formed in the deepest magma. Is can make almost anything that touched it burnt in a second by its heat.’
‘I found it!’ shouted Hermione in a surprise, point at a page in The Natural Source Material of Magic. ‘Eastern people let their dragon swallow it to enhance the heat of fire. Its heat can’t penetrate dragon’s skin. That’s it, Harry. Its heat can’t penetrate dragon’s skin!’
‘But how can we find four robes at hat made from dragon skin?’ asked Ron. ‘We are not that rich!’
‘I have one.’ said Krum, taking a red, creased robe out of his bag. ‘Karkaroff gave it to me. He said that I’ll need it some day.’
‘It won’t help.’ said Hermione. ‘We only got one.’
‘It may.’
‘It isn’t the time to argue. We’ve only got a chance. How can we give it up?’ asked Ron. Rest of them marveled at Ron’s words and nodded. Harry picked Krum’s robe up, and threw it up into the air.
The robe covered the red ball. The heat was soon decreased. Beads of perspirations stopped felling off their forehead. Than, Harry felt the air-cooled down in a sudden. His body started quivering. He pulled out his wand and gave it a wave, but nothing happened.
‘We have to get out!’ shouted Ron, his voice quivering and was hard to understand. Krum nodded and walked near the red ball. He put his hand on it, and soon disappeared in a smoke. Ron and Hermione followed him, left Harry alone in the room. Harry wondered how Krum knew that, but he knew that it might be the right way. Harry stepped forward to the ball. He grabbed to robe and disappeared in a smoke.

Harry was in a strange tunnel. His body was flying through the tunnel itself. Red illustrations flew through his eyes. Harry was giddied by the speed. He closed his eyes, tried to make himself believe that it is only floo powder. He grabbed the rode hardly, hoped it won’t flew away. With a loud bang, Harry fell into a small room. Ron, Krum and Hermione was standing in front of them.
‘Where we are?’ asked Harry, looking around the room. Overdue newspapers, old parchments are around. The round ceiling was high above them, little sparks were on it. Four windows were under the ceiling, fishes were swimming out of it. Four grand, granite pillars were under the windows. A large, white circle was in the middle of the room. In the middle of the circle, a stand with a book on it stood on top of it.
‘I don’t know.’ answered krum.
‘Maybe in KarKaroff’s dwelling, perhaps.’ said Hermione. ‘Let’s look around. See if we can find anything interesting.’ Ron walked to the pile of newspapers with her. Krum leafed through the parchments in high speed, and Harry walked around the room, searching if there were anything unusual. Ron seemed that he found something, he pushed a newspaper near Hermione, signified her to look at it. Hermione looked at it and was startled by it. Harry and Krum stepped forward and looked at it.
ANOTHER OLD DEATH EATER WAS KILLED BY VOLDEMORT
Igor Karkaroff, who used to be a death eater,’s body was found by a muggle at the west of England. A large dark mark was on the roof. Gladly, it wasn’t seen by anyone else. ‘I’m glad that he is dead’ said one worker in the ministry. ‘He-’
The rest of it was burnt by magic.
‘I’ve forgotten that Lupin told us that he is dead in Diaogn Alley.’ said Ron, glaring at krum. ‘You’ve lied to-’ but Krum cried out loudly and interrupted him. Hermione patted his shoulder, looking at Harry and asked for his help.
‘Krum, he didn’t die painfully. He did not feel any pain when he died.’ said Hermione, but Krum cried more loudly. Harry knew how he felt, so he took a little shiny thing out of his pocket.
‘Take a look at this.’ said Harry; he pushed a mirror to him. Krum stared at him. ‘This is the thing that my godfather left.’
‘Left?’ asked Krum with misunderstand on his face.
‘He is dead.’ said Harry, trying not to let sorrow appear on his face.
‘Sorry.’ said Krum.
‘There’s no need to say that.’ said Harry, looking at the mirror carefully. ‘He didn’t really left, did he?’ Krum smiled finally and stood up.
‘Looks like that he left me something too.’ said Ron. He walked to the stand and picked up the diary, but the smile on his face soon disappeared. He fell down without warning.
‘Ron!’ shouted Harry, as everyone ran to Ron’s side. Krum picked the diary up. Then, Ron opened his eyes.
‘Am I dead?’ asked Ron. ‘What happened?’‘Avada kedavra!’ shouted a voice behind him.

北方之旅
哈利現在已經看不見倫敦了。他們一定在倫敦北方的某處，下面的一切事物看起來都昏昏暗暗的。陽光照在哈利的臉上，使他幾乎不能張開他的眼睛，他唯一能看見的東西是在他的前面的三支掃帚。他不知道他們要去哪兒，他既飢餓又口渴，他想知道他們能是否能停下來休息一下。更重要的事情是他凍僵了，他幾乎不能控制他的手來扶正他的眼鏡，他向前飛並且努力讓其他人知道他的處境。
一個黑斗篷出現在哈利的前面，維克多‧喀浪轉身解除自己的滅幻，他嚇到了哈利。哈利聽到榮恩在他後面笑，哈利轉頭看著榮恩，榮恩嘲笑的眼光使哈利感到想要衝上去打他。哈利向前追問喀浪現在要做什麼，他聳了聳肩什麼也沒說。
「我們很餓而且全身都凍僵了，我們可以休息一下嗎？」妙麗帶著希望的語氣問他。
「但是沃們不行休息，喵哩。」喀浪說。榮恩在他說喵哩這個名字時大笑，妙麗沒理他，哈利決定幫助她。
「那裡怎麼樣?」哈利為妙麗問，用手指著一片很大的雲。
「挪裡? 」喀浪有禮貌地問，他沒理解哈利的意思。當哈利想要回答時，另一個聲音從哈利背後傳來。
「你甚至不能施一個結凍咒嗎？」榮恩嘲笑地問。喀浪從頭到腳審視榮恩，檢查他到底穿多少件衣服。
「你發瘋了嗎？沃們已經快結凍了，你還想要沃們坐在冰上嗎？」喀浪驚訝地問。榮恩看起來很不好意思，對哈利求助性的眨了眨眼。哈利從他的包中取出一個瓶子並且把他丟給喀浪。
「挪是射摩? 」喀浪問。
「他可以使冰塊暖和但不會融化。」哈利回答。「但是你仍然需要先結凍它們。 」 喀浪將他的魔杖揮動一個圈，雲結凍了並開始往下掉。榮恩大聲嘲笑他，妙麗迅速地動她的魔杖，那朵浮在半空中的雲飄向他們。哈利在雲上倒魔藥，他們終於有一個地方可以休息。

一天又一天過去了，他們離目的地也越來越接近，但是榮恩的憤怒卻變得越來越強。在一朵雲內，有兩個人正設法使榮恩平靜下來。妙麗一直說喀浪可能是唯一一個能幫助他們找到卡卡夫的人，但是榮恩仍然很頑固。
「榮恩，在你和文坦交往時我沒有－」
「你有！你甚至還攻擊我。」榮恩憤怒地說。「我可是什麼是都沒有做，妙麗。」
「我希望你不會。」妙麗說。「但是我們真的需要團結，不是吵架。」
「我不會那樣，但是我將－」 突然，喀浪走近他們的雲中，榮恩立即停止談話，妙麗和哈利全部都向他微笑。只有榮恩憤怒地看著喀浪，好像他是一個食死人似的。哈利看見喀浪眼神中的懷疑，因此表示要和他出去走一走，他向妙麗眨了眨眼並且確定榮恩沒有看見他。
「沃做錯了什摩？」喀浪問，看起來仍然很困惑。「為什麼他看我好像－ 」
「我不知道我應不應該告訴你。」 哈利說，他取出火閃電並且騎在它上面。喀浪沒有說任何一句話，他只是跟隨著哈利飛行，但是他還是一直注視著哈利，哈利知道他真的想要一個答案。
「不要那樣看我，我沒做任何事情。」哈利說想知道他的方法是不是能起一些作用。「我只想在今天的旅行前和你來一場比賽。」
「但是你的朋友怎麼辦？我知道他也喜歡飛，他甚至向我要一個我的親筆簽名呢」喀浪說。「為什麼他－等一下，他和喵哩在一起！」他立刻向後衝回妙麗和榮恩所在的雲。榮恩正坐在外面，哈利微笑並迅速回頭，他沒想讓榮恩和喀浪看見他。
「為什麼你不來和沃們一起飛？今天又不冷。」 喀浪問。「還有，喵哩在挪裡?」
「我的名字是妙麗!」在他們後面傳來一個譴責的聲音說，接著妙麗從他們的雲中走出來。她正再讀一張路徑圖，喀浪懷疑的看著她的眼睛。「喀浪，我們必須討論一下我們飛行的方向，我們到海洋只剩一個小時的航程﹗」
「嗯，再往東一點。」喀浪說，但是沒有人了解他在說什麼。
「我們將要往海上飛嗎？」榮恩說，臉上閃過了一個報復的神色。「我們為什麼不能在地上飛？」
「兩者都不。」喀浪簡單地回答。「榮恩，如果你不來和我們玩，我們就不－」
「好啦！我會去的。」榮恩打斷他的話，並且和他們一起走了出去，但是仍然低聲說。「我們怎樣可能不飛海上又不飛陸地？飛出地球嗎？」
當哈利和喀浪正檢查裝備時，榮恩在他們頭上飛來飛去，妙麗在看她的『進階變形學』。她的魔杖正用一種奇怪的軌道揮舞著，哈利和榮恩不安的看著她，哈利趕快拿出金探子。
「我們不需要那些，魁地奇瘋子，我們只需要玩！走吧！」榮恩愉快地說，一邊加速迎向陽光。哈利和喀浪對著彼此微笑，並且爬上他們的掃帚，他們在榮恩的笑聲中加速升空。「妙麗，現在不是讀書時間，是玩樂時間！過來抓我！」

鹹黏的空氣佔據了哈利的嗅覺，哈利記得那個味道－那種濕濕鹹鹹的味道。 哈利曾經聞過一次，但是那次經驗卻帶來了他有史以來最糟的記憶，哈利實在不想去想它。他低飛去看他們在哪裡，大地和海的邊境在他的眼睛裡清晰呈現，他停止飛行同時懷疑的看著喀浪。哈利看見榮恩和妙麗也都停下來，只有喀浪依舊還向著海邊飛去。哈利迅速追趕上他並且示意他停下來，喀浪轉了一個圈，並且飛回他們身旁。
「發生了什麼事，哈利?」喀浪問。「我們不是要去找卡卡夫嗎? 如果是的話，請跟我來。」
「那是海耶！」榮恩發牢騷道。「我們不是你﹗我們不能那麼遠飛而不停下來。」
「我們只需要再飛三十分鐘就可以到卡卡夫的家!」 喀浪一邊說一邊注視著榮恩。「並不遠呀！走嘛！」他忽視榮恩的大叫並且繼續飛行，妙麗跟隨著他，把哈利和榮恩拋在後方。哈利設法讓自己相信喀浪，不過在榮恩的抱怨聲中，哈利無法做到。
「榮恩! 你可以安靜一點嗎？現在唯一能對我們有幫助的事就是找到卡卡夫。 我們必須相信喀浪，就像妙－我的意思是就像你和我三年前一樣。」哈利說，仔細看著榮恩的臉，希望他沒聽到他剛才說的話。
「絕不﹗我絕不會相信他﹗」
「那你要讓妙麗和他單獨在一起嗎？」哈利打出了他的王牌。
「好啦﹗」榮恩說，看起來像他沒有其他的選擇。「如果他對我們說謊，我將會殺死他。」
「那時我會幫你。」哈利說，並且向他微笑。他的計畫最後起了作用，他終於感到放心。哈利在他們的前面高速駛向微風，榮恩嘆口氣，只好跟隨著他。

哈利和榮恩飛越一群積雪在山上的綠色小島，白色的山峰看起來就像一塊塊農田。河川將整個小島分隔為四區，就像一幅畫－只能在畫中才看的到的完美景色。哈利專注地看著四周，直到一片雲覆蓋過來。榮恩似乎沒有注意到那座島，他正專注看著前方兩個黑色的小圓點，妙麗和喀浪正熱烈的交談著，榮恩的嘴張的大大的。他用一個難以置信的高速飛向他們，臉上帶著嚇人的表情。他那個謀殺的表情嚇到了哈利，哈利立即追到他身邊，但是他出乎意料的停止，哈利完全明白為什麼。喀浪拉出他的魔杖指著水面，向下投一個白色的球。
「形形現!」喀浪大叫，球開始高速旋轉，哈利只能看見一個圈。突然球掉進海中，並且變成一個像隧道一樣的漩渦。
「那是什麼？」榮恩吃驚的問，哈利和妙麗交換了一個驚訝的眼神。喀浪微笑，但是並沒有對他們說什麼。喀浪突然衝進漩渦，哈利跟隨著他，雖然他內心深處充滿疑惑。

CHARPTER THREE
THE NORTH TRIP
Harry couldn’t see London now. They must be somewhere in the north of London. The things down were in a dim green. Sunlight illuminated on Harry’s face. He could hardly open his eyes. All the things that he could see were three broomsticks in front of him. He didn’t know where they were going. He wondered if they could stop and have a rest. He was hungry and thirsty. In addition, the most important thing is – He was freezing. He could hardly move his hand to prop his glasses. He flew forward and tried to let them know.
A black cloak appeared in front of Harry. Victor Krum Undisillusion himself in a whirl. He shocked Harry. He heard Ron’s laugh behind him. He turned back and saw him. His jeering sight made Harry felt he wanted to hit him. Harry flew forward to ask Krum what to do now. He struggled and said nothing.
‘We are hungry and freezing. Can we have a rest?’ asked Hermione hopefully.
‘But ve can’t take a rest, Hermy-own-ninny.’ said Krum. Ron laughed out when he heard the name Hermy-own-ninny. Hermione ignored him. Harry decided to help her.
‘How about there?’ asked Harry for Hermione, pointing at a large cloud.
‘vhere?’ asked Krum politely. He didn’t understand what Harry meant. Just when Harry wanted to answered, another voice came behind Harry.
‘You can’t even do a freezing charm?’ asked Ron, jeering. Krum looked at him from head to toe, checking how much he wore.
‘Are you crazy? ve are already freezing and you vant us to sit on ice?’ asked Krum incredibly. Ron looked embarrassed and tipped Harry a wink for help. Harry took a bottle out of his bag and threw it to Krum.
‘Vhat is this?’ asked Krum.
‘It is for making ices warm without melting them.’ answered Harry. ‘But you still need to freeze them first.’ Krum waved his wand a circle and froze the cloud. It started to fall down. Ron laughed at him loudly. Hermione waved her wand promptly at once. The cloud floated in the air and flew close to them. Harry poured the potion on it and they finally had a place to rest.

Days and days went by. Their destination was getting closer and closer, but Ron’s anger was growing stronger and stronger. Inside of a cloud, two people were trying to clam Ron down. Hermione was saying Krum might be the only person they knew who could help them find Karkaroff. However, Ron was still recalcitrant about it.
‘Ron, the problem is you. I didn’t do anything while you and lav-’
‘You did. You even attacked me.’ said Ron angrily. ‘I didn’t do anything, Hermione.’
‘I hope you won’t.’ said Hermione. ‘But we really need to be together, not arguing.’
‘I won’t, but I would-’
Suddenly, Krum walked into their cloud. Ron stopped talking immediately. Hermione and Harry all smiled. Only Ron looked at Krum angrily as though he was a death eater. Harry saw the doubting in Krum’s eyes, so signified him to walk out with him. He winked at Hermione and made sure that Ron didn’t see him,
‘Vhat did I do?’ asked Krum, still looking confused. ‘Vhy is he looking at me like-’
‘I don’t know if I shall tell you or not.’ said Harry. He took out hid Firebolt and mounted on it. Krum didn’t say anything. He just followed Harry to fly, but he is still staring at Harry. Harry knew he really wanted an answer.
‘Don’t look at me like that, I didn’t do anything.’ said Harry, wondering how well can his idea work. ‘I just want to have a race with you before our trip today.’
‘But how about your friend? I knew he likes flying too. He even asked for an autograph of me!’ said Krum. ‘Vhy is he- Hang on, He is with Hermy-own-ninny!’ He rushed back to the cloud immediately. Ron was sitting outside of it. Harry smiled, but quickly turned his head back. He didn’t want Ron and Krum to see him.
‘Vhy don’t you come and fly vth us? It is not a cold today.’ asked Krum. ‘By the vay, vhere is Hermy-own-ninny?’
‘My name is Hermione!’ said a voice reproachfully behind them. Hermione walked out of their cloud. She was reading a route map. Krum looked at her eyes suspiciously. ‘Krum, we must discuss about our direction. We’ve only got an hour distance to the ocean!’
‘Vell, a little more east.’ said Krum, but no one understood him.
‘We are going to fly over the sea?’ asked Ron with a revenge looking face. ‘Why can’t we fly over the land?’
‘Ve are not going to do any of these.’ answered Krum simply. ‘Ron, if you don’t come and play with us, we will just-’
‘Fine, I’ll go.’ interrupted Ron and walked out with them, but was still muttering. ‘How can we not fly over the sea and the land? Out of the earth?’
As the time Harry and Krum were checking the equipments. Ron was flying around and around on top of them, and Hermione was reading the Advanced Transfiguration. Her wand was waved up and down in a strange orbit, which made Harry, and Ron looked at her worriedly. Therefore, Harry took out the snitch.
‘We don’t need that, silly boys. We just need to have fun. Follow me!’ said Ron happily, and accelerated up into the sunlight. Harry and Krum smiled at each other and mounted on their broomstick, speeded up into the sky in Ron’s laughter. ‘Hermione, its not reading time. Its time to practice! Come and catch me!’

The smell of salty air occupied Harry’s sense. Harry remembered the smell. The smell of foggy, salty air. Harry had only smelt the smell once, but it brought him one of the worst memories he had had. Harry did not want to think about it. He flew lower to find out where they are. The border of land and sea was seen clearly in his eyes. He braked and stared at Krum suspiciously. He saw Ron and Hermione brake too. Only Krum was still flying forward to the sea. Harry promptly chased up to him and signified him to stop. Krum slide a circle and turned back to them.
‘Vhat is going on, Harry?’ asked Krum. ‘Aren’t we going to find Karkaroff? If yes, please follow me.’
‘That’s the sea!’ shouted Ron grumblingly. ‘We are not you! We can’t fly that far without stopping!’
‘Ve have got only thirty minutes distance to Karkaroff’s place!’ said Krum, staring at Ron. ‘That’s not far! Just go!’ He ignored Ron’s shouting and flew away. Hermione followed him, left Ron and Harry behind them. Harry tried to make himself believe Krum. However, he couldn’t do that in Ron’s muttering.
‘Ron! Can you keep quite? The only thing that can help us is find Karkaroff. We must believe Krum. Just like Hermi- I mean what you and I did three years ago.’ said Harry, carefully looking at Ron’s face, wishing he didn’t hear him.
‘Never! I will never believe him!’
‘So you will let Hermione stay with him?’ said Harry finally used his trump card.
‘All right!’ said Ron, looking like that he have no alternative. ‘If he lied to us. I’ll kill him.’
‘I’ll help you on that.’ said Harry, beaming. His plan finally worked. He felt entirely free from worry. He rose up to the highest speed into the breeze in front of them. Ron sighed and followed him.

Harry and Ron flew over a bright green island with snows on the mountain. It looked just like a farmland with white spikes. Rivers cut the land in four parts. It looked like paintings, perfect scenery that can only be seen in paintings. Harry looked attentively at it until a cloud covered it. Ron didn’t even seem to see it. He gazed intently at the two black dots in front of them.-Hermione and Krum were talking fervently. Ron’s mouth was wide open. He flew to them in an unbelievable speed with a scary sight. His murderous look shocked Harry. Harry chased up to him immediately, but he stopped unexpectedly. Harry knew perfectly why. Krum drew out his wand, pointed at the water surface. Than he threw a white ball down.
‘Refromilus!’ shouted Krum. The ball started whirling in a high speed that Harry could only see a circle there. Suddenly, the ball fell into the ocean and out came a tunnel-like whirlpool. ‘What is it?’ asked Ron surprisingly, as Harry and Hermione gasped in amazement at it. Krum smiled, but said nothing to them. He just flew into the whirlpool. Harry followed him, though misgivings filled his deeply heart.

冒險的開始
冷風刮著哈利的臉龐，哈利向下看，路燈在他下方像星星般閃爍著，小汽車的車燈在他的下方不停的賽跑。人們正穿過那陰暗的道路，突然，一片烏雲覆蓋住哈利的視線。他抬起頭，巨大的滿月高掛在空中，在天空的高處。路燈投射在他們的掃帚柄上，哈利打手勢示意其他人飛低一點，三枝掃帚瞬間下降準備降落。厚厚的雲層使他們的斗篷濕掉，風刮著他們的身體，他們都為了將要降落而感到高興，因為他們的手早就凍僵了。大約五分鐘以後，他們看到了水蠟樹街，他們沒有發出聲響地降落在道路上。榮恩和妙麗在空中出現，並且幫助哈利解除滅幻。然後他們慢慢走向水蠟樹街四號的院子。
哈利敲門，他聽到有人高聲回答他，他知道那是他姨丈的聲音。他又敲了一次門，不過，這次沒有人回答他。榮恩走進門並把魔杖指向它。妙麗看著屋頂，哈利知道她在找什麼。他在同伴的眼睛裡看見了恐懼，妙麗慢慢地走向窗邊，就在那之後，一個響亮的聲音衝進他們的耳朵裡。
「你們這些討厭的警察﹗達力只是把一個人打倒﹗他只是在和他們玩。你不可以- 」他突然停了下來，瞪著哈利。「歐！原來是你。我們不歡迎你。走開﹗」
「我們只會在這裡停留一個夜晚，我們就走了，而且你去年已經答應我們，你應該不會想要我們- 」
「好啦! 進來﹗」威農姨丈大叫，憂慮地看著榮恩的魔杖。
哈利、榮恩和妙麗走進前門， 哈利帶他們到房間，和過去一樣，他們沒有看到佩妮阿姨和達力。他知道他們已經睡了，他關上門並且看著他的朋友，他們正在尋找壁爐。哈利知道他們需要什麼，他拿出一袋奶油啤酒。
「太棒了！ 哈利，我正在想弗雷和喬治是否記得給你。」榮恩說。他們每個人都喝了一瓶奶油啤酒。「乾杯﹗ 」他們同時說道，並且喝了一大口啤酒。
白雪在窗外一直下著，窗外的事物都顯的模糊不清。就像一個標準的冬天，但是又顯然不是。哈利向窗子外望去，嘆了一口氣，希望他有能力除去佛地魔。為了他自己，為了他的朋友，為了魔法世界，甚至為了全世界。哈利似乎太專注於他的思考，他甚至沒注意到榮恩的皇后把他的城堡從棋盤上扔出去。
「將軍倒棋！ 哈利! 你輸了﹗」榮恩叫道。妙麗向他怒目而視，他的歡呼聲似乎打斷了她的寫作。榮恩馬上停止他的歡呼，懷疑的看著她。
「你在給誰寫信？妳的父母？ 他們不擔心妳嗎？ 」榮恩問。「還是能幫助我們找到卡卡夫的人? 」
「能幫助我們找到卡卡夫的人。」妙麗回答。「順便說一下，我的父母並不擔心我，他們希望我們能拯救魔法世界，就和你的父母一樣。 」
「你究竟在寫信給誰-」
「哈利，我可以借嘿美嗎？」妙麗問，一邊揮動著手中的信封。她沒有理會榮恩對她的凝視，她的臉正轉紅，哈利知道為什麼，他懷疑為什麼榮恩沒有猜到。
「沒問題。」哈利回答，一邊重新排好一場巫師棋。他看見妙麗現影離開房子， 哈利想知道她是否能成功現影回到洞穴屋。五分鐘以後，就在榮恩的騎士謀殺了哈利的卒子時，妙麗在地毯的上方出現。
「嘿美真的很聰明，哈利。她準時地到達斜角巷的那個地方﹗」妙麗愉快地說， 臉頰上依舊泛紅。
「謝啦，妙麗。」哈利微笑道，努力地想要透過一隻騎士殺死榮恩的城堡。榮恩在大笑中移開了他的城堡，哈利知道他的城堡可以將軍；這時榮恩的城堡已經離開，他慢慢地移動他的城堡。
「將- 」
一聲巨響傳進哈利的耳朵，哈利看著聲音傳來的方向，妙麗正在翻看哈利的背袋。她手裡握著一塊特製的炸彈餅乾，她的衣服和頭髮全部都被燒焦。榮恩大聲地笑了出來，妙麗對他怒目相視並且揮動她的魔杖。她的衣服和頭髮逐漸恢復原來的樣子，就在在那之後，另一聲巨響再度傳入他們的耳中。
「哈利波特﹗你怎敢驚醒我們﹗如果你再製造另一個聲音，我會把你踢出這間屋子！」威農姨丈大叫，他的聲音在他們耳朵中來回振動。
「他們瘋了，對不對？現在才九點半耶﹗」榮恩對他們低聲地說。妙麗看起來仍然很生氣。她揮動她的魔杖，一個睡袋出現在地板上，榮恩驚訝地看著她。
「妙麗，你不必那樣做。」榮恩說，一邊看著像要發瘋的妙麗。「還早耶，妙麗，你不必-」
「我們都覺得有那個必要，榮恩。我們明天將有個長時間的旅行。」妙麗說著，一邊用她的魔杖揮動一個圈，另一個睡袋就出現了。「這是你的睡袋，你也最好快點睡。還有，哈利，你可以睡在床上。」
「先等我們鬥完這一回合。」榮恩說，移動他的城堡。
「晚安，妙麗。」哈利和榮恩同時說。
「晚安。」妙麗回答。哈利幫他們打開暖氣。
「謝了，哈利。」妙麗說，同時滑進她的睡袋。
榮恩的騎士殺死了哈利的主教，哈利發現他即將要輸了。哈利笑了，他幫榮恩移動了他的王后。
「將死﹗」哈利說。他們全都笑了。哈利取下他的眼鏡並且爬上了床。哈利認為和榮恩及妙麗在一起的時光真是美好。雖然如此，冒險明天即將開始，危險也即將到來。哈利不想破壞這完美的一刻，這個完美的夜晚，但是他知道這一刻一定會過去。
「晚安，伙伴。」榮恩說。
「晚安。」哈利回答。

一大清早，陽光照進水蠟樹街。整條街都沉睡著，只有在水蠟樹街的三個人例外，他們正坐在一張桌子旁邊，他們看起來像在等待某些事情，他們的擔心完全顯示在他們的臉上。在他們的中間的那個，那個在體型看起來像頭豬的人，直直的看著樓梯上方，好像害怕恐怖事情會發生似的。其他的兩個人盯著牆上的鐘，思考著他們何時會下來。
「謀殺案件現在在英國非常的多，超過數千人在上週被殺死，政府說也許是他們的政治對手想要叛變。」記者在電視裡說。「那群政治對手-」
「白癡政府。」威農姨丈說，努力讓家裡的感覺好一點。不過，達力仍然在發抖，他把他巨大的頭藏在佩妮阿姨後面。
「在森恩村莊的三個人聲稱他們在道路上看見巨人，用巨大的木棍毀壞房子，他們中的一些-」
「胡說八道。」威農姨丈咆哮。「從去年開始每一次都報告這種新聞，如果我是老闆，我一定會開除這種記者。」
「大部分的學者認為巨人的基因一定出了什麼問題，他們-」威農姨丈關上電視，擔心地看著樓梯。
在那棟房子的二樓，三個人正在打包。他們中的一個揮動著他的魔杖，他的物品一個一個的飛進他的包裹。另一個女孩模仿他，並且幫助最後的那個男孩打包。
「謝啦，妙麗」哈利說，一手把包包放在他的背上，一手拿著飛天掃帚走下樓，其他人跟著他下樓。樓下的一個男孩大聲尖叫，哈利微笑著走下樓，發現他的阿姨和姨丈正在等他。
「你希望我們為你做早餐，是不是？」威農姨丈問。
「不，我們決定在外面吃。」哈利回答並且走向門口。
「再見了，威農姨丈，佩妮阿姨，還有親愛的達力。」他們都不回答他，除了達力的尖叫聲。哈利大笑，並和榮恩及妙麗一起走出家門。哈利深呼吸一口氣，準備好要開始出發。
「妙麗，我們可以開始了嗎？」榮恩不耐煩地問。
「好。」妙麗說，一邊揮動她的魔杖並且使哈利滅幻，榮恩也使自己滅幻。妙麗出發飛向天空，哈利和榮恩衝到她的旁邊，三支掃帚向藍天駛去。雖然如此，並沒有人看見他們。
「妙麗，你真進步了。」哈利快樂的說。
「謝啦！」
「妙麗，我們要去哪兒？」榮恩問。
「噢，去破釜酒吧。我們需要見見某人。」妙麗說。
「見誰？」榮恩問。
妙麗沒理他並且飛越他，榮恩憤怒地追了上去，哈利跟著他們，想知道他是否真的在那裡。
大雪還是不停地落在他們身上。哈利向下方看，希望沒有人看見他們，發現他們下方全部都模糊了，哈利甚至不能看見他們的目的地。哈利為了看清楚而飛低一點，他們快到達了，哈利也越飛越低，他已經準備好要降落。榮恩和妙麗好像看見他的掃帚向下飛，或者是因為他們的衣服也越來越濕，他們也下降了。哈利努力使他結冰的手移動，這樣他就可以發一個降落訊號。他的手掙扎了很久，最後終於掙脫結冰的狀況。他做出了手勢，他們全部都完美地登陸，除了妙麗，她幾乎要摔下來。他們幫自己解除滅幻並走進了破釜酒吧。
那間極小、樣子骯髒的酒店生意越來越壞，只有大約五分之一的桌子有客人。酒吧服務生的名字叫湯姆，他仍然坐在那張破爛的椅子裡，正上下轉動他的頭找尋他的客人。湯姆最後才看見他們，他不知道站在他前面的男孩是哈利波特，因為他們正戴著弗雷和喬治的面具，他看著他們陌生的臉龐。
「先生，有什麼我可以幫忙的嗎？ 」湯姆問，但是妙麗搖了搖她的手，一邊走向院子並用她的魔杖輕敲磚塊。湯姆失望的坐了下來。
「妙麗，你要去斜角巷? 」榮恩問，看起來她正在做的事的把他弄糊塗了。他的猜測十分正確，磚塊一個接著一個的向牆邊移動，斜角巷的入口不久就在哈利和榮恩的驚訝中出現。
斜角巷看起來就和哈利去年所看見的一模一樣，到處都是魔法部的海報，保安消息和危險人物的照片全部在上面，不過巷子裡並不像哈利第一次來到時一樣擁擠。現在甚至比去年他看見的情形還要糟糕，少之又少的商店中，客人更加零零落落，店員們難過的看著門口。灰塵覆蓋了地面，破掉的門窗躺在他們的前面，有些房子也破了，整條街顯的骯髒破舊。
哈利和榮恩跟隨妙麗進入華麗與污痕書店，發現幾個人正在那裡看書。哈利看了看他們在看的書，驚訝的現他們全部都在讀防禦黑暗，臉上都充滿著擔心和讚嘆。妙麗在右邊的架子上拿了一本愛倫陳寫的進階變形學，榮恩用一個驚奇的眼光看著她。
「在我們離開學校之後，妳真的還想要學習嗎？」榮恩問。「你到底出了什麼事？ 」
「事實上，我們真的需要學習黑魔法防禦術。」妙麗說。榮恩還是用一個奇怪的眼光看著她，她補充說「我們將要和佛地魔作戰，他- 」
「那是變形學，妙麗。」榮恩說。
「我知道，但是-」
「我們要去弗雷和喬治的店，趕快去那裡。」哈利說，設法阻止他們吵架。妙麗點頭，哈利和榮恩走出華麗與污痕書店。
「她一定已經瘋了，我們已經脫離學校一個月，現在她又想把書本弄回來，我絕不會想要再次學習。」榮恩說，嘴巴張開著，看起來像仍然想要說話。哈利聽了又聽，但是什麼也沒聽到。他思考榮恩到底在看什麼，發現榮恩正緊盯著一間商店，哈利於是轉過他的頭。
人群嚇到了哈利，商店裡面充滿著人，衝來衝去，忙著尋找商品，忙著尋找新的事情。孩子在玩外面的坐夢機，他們的父母數著錢幣，為著空空的錢包傷心。
「哈利，過來這裡，我們有一些東西要秀給你看。」弗雷大叫「我知道你在這裡。」 哈利和他一起往裡面走，他被自己所看見的東西嚇到，一瓶一瓶的魔藥灑滿地面。還有一袋一袋的旅遊者必備物品，是弗雷為他打包裝滿的。
「哈利，你可能會需要這些東西。」弗雷說，把它們硬塞進哈利的手中。哈利真的不想要拿它們，但是弗雷把它們塞進哈利的口袋裡。它們越變越小，最後小到哈利幾乎不能感覺到它們存在。
「我們把物品放在袋子中縮小，一旦你把它們拿出來，它們會自己變大。」弗雷解釋，哈利嘆口氣並且拿起它。
「謝了，弗雷。」哈利說。
「不客氣，哈利。」弗雷說。
哈利向弗雷以及在櫃台的喬治揮手，他們也向後微笑著揮手。哈利走出商店，發現榮恩和妙麗在那裡等他，他們愉快地往破釜酒吧走去。
榮恩正一點一滴的品嚐他剛剛買到的火燒威士忌，妙麗則上下轉動她的頭，似乎在尋找一個人，哈利想要幫助她。
「喀-我的意思是，那個男人或女人看起來會是什麼樣子？他會穿什麼衣服來？」哈利問，看了看榮恩，想知道他是否注意到他說了什麼。
「他會穿一件黑色的斗篷和戴紅帽子，我告訴他他要這樣穿，穿的奇怪會讓我們更容易找到他。」妙麗說，仍然一張一張桌子地找人。
「妙麗，他在門口。」哈利說，他立刻發現妙麗說的那個人。妙麗走向他並把他帶到了他們的桌子，哈利看不見他的臉。唯一能幫助哈利確定這是他的兩件事情是他的奇怪穿著和他背包露出的掃帚柄。哈利對妙麗眨一眨眼，取出一瓶吐真劑給她。
妙麗仔細地對那個人說 「維克多，我們需要 」
「維克多?」榮恩懷疑的問，好像不相信他聽到的。
「是的，他是維克多‧喀浪，但是或許不是。」妙麗說。「抱歉，我們需透過吐真劑測試你。」她把三滴吐真劑它放進他的飲料，哈利立即拿出一瓶魔藥，並且示意他喝掉。
「號，沃會喝它。」喀浪說，他分開兩次把她的啤酒和魔藥喝下去。他回答的的問題全部正確，包括你是誰、你的工作是什麼等問題。哈利給他解藥並且與他一起走出破釜酒吧，妙麗跟隨著他們，拒絕去看榮恩。榮恩看起來很忿怒，但是還是和他們走了出去。 他們最後從地面起飛，跟著喀浪起飛。哈利不知道他們要飛多久，他們好像飛了整整一天。他的身體正在結冰，他看了他的錶，發現才十二點鐘。

哈利波特-雄鹿之魂(第一章)

第一章
雪地裡的婚禮
這一年夏天似乎結束的特別早。大雪不的停落在街道上，霧氣在四處飄散，瀰漫著整個天空。到處都是寒冷的天氣，幾乎冷卻了人們的心情。周遭唯一的愉快在洞穴屋裡。在大雪中，人們正愉快的看著新婚夫婦，只有哈利在窗戶後面站著，雙眼直直的向外看，想著鄧不利多。哈利知道鄧不利多一定認為能有愛在他死去之後留下是件好事。他必須為鄧不利多殺死石內卜，他更必須為魔法世界殺死佛地魔。那正是他的使命，一份只有他才能完成的使命。
「阿利！」 他後面的一個女孩大叫道，甩動著她銀色的頭髮。哈利記得她，那個他在十四歲時救過的女孩-佳兒。她看起來長大了許多，身上金色的服裝襯托她那頭銀色的頭髮，讓她看起來比平常更加美麗。「不要愣在那裡，一起來玩嘛！」
哈利轉身看著大家興奮地交談著。榮恩和他的爸爸交談。他們看起來很緊張，但榮恩似乎有些興奮。佳兒正微笑著向他揮手，哈利回了她一個微笑。弗雷和喬治正在慶祝用的爆竹。衛斯理太太正在幫花兒打扮，她身上華麗的衣服和頭飾使她的美麗達到一種難以置信的地步。最後，他看見路平和東施正在逐退催狂魔。
「快叫正氣師，我們的愉快對催狂魔來說太美味了﹗」路平叫道。「疾疾，護法現身﹗」
哈利微笑著拉出他的魔杖，成功的驅逐他們中的一個。
掛在洞穴屋上面的鐘開始響了。婚禮終於開始了，比爾帶著花兒從前門走出來，他臉上的傷疤仍然清晰可見。爆竹在掌聲中點燃，一道道長長的火焰刷進空中。大家都熱烈的鼓掌，表情看起來相當愉快。然而旁邊的正氣師們，正憤怒地瞪著催狂魔。大家向正氣師們看了看，然後一起笑了起來。
婚禮帶來的愉快趕走了佛地魔帶來了恐懼和悲哀， 哈利想知道它能持續多久。 來自佛地魔的恐懼不久將再次來臨。不過鄧不利多是對的，愛真是一種完美的感覺。

「哈利，原來你在這裡，我們找你找好久了。」妙麗叫道。「出來嘛！已經是下午了！你已經在那裡站一個小時了！」
「如果你想要，我們去飛一飛。其他人仍然在玩弗雷以及喬治的新產品。」榮恩建議。
「騎掃帚？」哈利說。
「當然﹗你在想什麼？」榮恩正看著哈利，認為他似乎發瘋了。
「我的意思是-等等﹗」 哈利走出前門。「衛斯理先生， 我要你買的東西你買了嗎？」
「噢﹗已經買了，就在紅箱子裡。 」 衛斯理先生指著前門。
「謝謝 」 哈利把它拿進去並且打開包裹，一支閃閃發亮的掃帚躺在裡面。在它上部，金色的字『水瓶號』被刻在上頭。榮恩和妙麗都露出微笑，好像他們知道它被買進來的目的。
「初學者最佳的選擇。 」榮恩說，露出牙齒大聲的笑。
妙麗沒有理他「歐！它看起來真不錯，我從沒騎過好掃帚，但我不認為它真的可以－」
「我說過了，這是初學者最佳的選擇! 其實， 如果有必要我們可以用現影術。哈利，你為什麼要買它呢？」榮恩說，一邊興奮的檢查著掃帚。
「現影術不能用在某些地方﹗」妙麗不耐煩的說。「我到底要說幾遍－」
「但是你仍然能用現影術接近它，不是嗎？」榮恩仍然沒理解。
「你坐在多近的地方現影啊？」妙麗問。
榮恩露出恍然大悟的表情。「不會很近，但那是原因嗎？」
哈利很高興他終於能了解。「沒錯﹗我們可以去一邊飛一邊對抗催狂魔，現在先看看我們是否能教會妙麗怎樣飛，或許容恩可以先載她-」
「謝了，我會自己試試看。」妙麗打岔道，紅色斑點在她的臉上隱約的浮現。
「好，大家一起去﹗」 哈利笑了起來。
哈利、妙麗和榮恩從洞穴屋走出來。雪堆積的越來越高，惡劣的天氣並沒有嚇倒他們，反而使他們更想出去。就當他們要騎上掃帚時，金妮帶著她的掃帚跑向他們，哈利微笑並且跑向她。
「要去飛嗎？」金妮問。「我能也參加嗎？ 」
「當然，那弗雷以及喬治能嗎？」哈利問，他想知道衛斯理先生有沒有給他們新掃帚，但是他不久之後就得到答案。
「我們差點認為你忘了我們。」弗雷和喬治從後面走出來。
弗雷說 「除了可憐的榮恩，爸爸為我們所有人各買一支掃帚，他上次不應該先買的。」
「順便說一下，我們的產品在這個時間銷售的還不錯，我們不應該錯過它；我們等一下再回來玩。」喬治補充說。
他們走回洞穴屋。此時，哈利和他的朋友們騎上了掃帚。在他們出發後，哈利忽然想起一件事。
「等一下！我差點忘記我還未成年﹗」
「不會怎們樣啦﹗金妮和你都能成功的避開催狂魔。即使未成年，你還是可以用護法咒對付他們，因為你們身處境危險嘛！」榮恩笑道。「我們走吧！妙麗!疾疾、護法現身!」
金妮低聲地說「真是個美好的約會。」兩人便同時衝上了天空，哈利微笑著並且躲過一個催狂魔，加速衝到其他人身旁。溼冷的空氣往他身上陣陣吹來。他有過多次在寒冷空中飛行的經驗，但是從來沒有一次比這次冷，那是一種令人凍僵的冷，甚至比被追趕的那次還冷。哈利想知道他是否將要再次摔倒。他希望他已經17 歲。他衝進榮恩和妙麗後面的空中，冰冷的雪落在他的身上。妙麗的護法-那隻發亮的水獺在催狂魔和催狂魔之間飛來飛去，並且以用高速去追趕催狂魔們。榮恩的巨大護法老鼠在催狂魔的頭上跳來跳去，設法把催狂魔們押到低空。他激動的開始對他的護法發出鳳凰令。
「壓那個﹗那個﹗你這白痴老鼠﹗」榮恩對他的護法大叫。「打死那傢伙！對！就是他！壓-小心呀﹗妙麗！」妙麗現在只剩她的右手還在的她的掃帚上。哈利迅速的飛過去幫助她。哈利在幫助妙麗重新騎上掃帚後，四隻催狂魔包圍住金妮。「疾疾、護法現身! 」妙麗和榮恩幾乎在相同的時間大聲叫道。哈利拔出他的魔杖指向剩下的催狂魔。
「疾疾、護法現身! 」兩個不同的聲音同時大聲喊道，哈利轉頭看著他們，發現他們都穿著中國火球龍皮長袍，掃帚的前端也都刻了金光閃閃的三個字-火閃電。弗雷和喬治都對著他微微一笑，並且說：「哈利! 你差一點就犯法了﹗」
哈利對所發生的感到驚訝，他向後號叫：「我知道，但是我必須-」
「救你的小女朋友?」喬治說：「我們已經從榮恩那邊聽到這個消息。那是真的嗎，金妮？」
「又是從榮恩？」金妮一邊說一邊揚起了她的眉毛。
「沒關係啦，金妮，我不在意。」哈利連忙說。
「好，我們先繼續玩，我等一下在和他好好的談一談。」金妮說，她看起來仍然很生氣。
這場和催狂魔的大比賽對他們來說很有趣。他們讓他們的護法坐上掃帚並且衝進一群催狂魔中，每一個催狂魔都盡可能的閃躲滑開。在催狂魔展開攻擊之後，其他的護法就會馬上包圍並且消滅他們。哈利他們全部喜歡這一種比賽，這可以讓他們忘記一切不愉快。不過，這種糟糕的天氣逼的他們早點結束這場對抗賽。寒冷的雪和雨滴一直落在他們身上。只有弗雷和喬治有龍皮長袍來對抗惡劣的天氣。最後，雪變得越來越大，他們沒有別的選擇，只有早一點結束比賽。

哈利、榮恩、妙麗和金妮圍在壁爐前玩弗雷以及喬治新改良的爆炸牌。當你輸牌時，他們會在你可以把它丟下之前爆炸，其中有一種牌叫爆炸卡，他們最喜歡抽到這種卡，只要爆炸卡一出，下一家的牌會立刻爆炸。他們花了許多時間在玩爆炸牌，最後他們幾乎已經燒遍了每個人的衣服後，他們開始談論佛地魔。妙麗製做了一個超長的打敗佛地魔的計畫表，哈利對妙麗已經做的準備並不感到意外。
「我們仍然有一個問題，哈利還未成年。」弗雷在妙麗超長的演講後發表他的意見。
「我們可以花時間找到一些或許知道佛地魔的弱點的人，就像卡卡夫，試試看會不會知道有關分-」 哈利給她一個敏銳的眼神，妙麗立刻中斷句子繼續說道 「如果哈利在他的生日之前去他姨丈的房子，鄧不利多的保護令將不會在他成年之前消失，他的處境將不會很危險。」妙麗回答。
「交通呢？ 哈利不是不能現影嗎？」喬治問。
「我們有掃帚，不是嗎？」妙麗回答，她臉上那副『這是什麼簡單問題』的表情讓喬治感到不好意思。
「那你呢？ 你又不能飛得非常好。」喬治立刻反擊。
「喬治，妙麗只需要練習。」榮恩辯道。
「但是她好像沒有飛行的天分。」弗雷說。
榮恩沒理他 「練習帶來成功，而且- 」
「榮恩，我可以和你講話嗎？」 金妮忽然插嘴道，榮恩跟隨著她上樓。
「所以我們真的需要訓練她，不是嗎？」 弗雷仍然討論著計畫。
「或許我真的需要訓練，但是-」
「吃晚飯囉！」衛斯理太太的叫聲傳入房內。哈利慶幸這一場爭吵終於結束了，他第一個走出房間，看見榮恩和金妮正好在樓梯上，就和他們一起走下樓，到達餐廳的桌子旁。

燻雞、烤豬等美味的食物和衛斯理太太特製的高湯不久就填滿了他們的胃。魔法部的人一個接著一個來看衛斯理先生和衛斯理太太，並且祝賀比爾和花兒。 衛斯理太太看起來正在等派西，但是她甚至沒看見他的一封信。她看起來很不舒服的坐了下來，金妮努力地安慰她。
榮恩看著弗雷和喬治，他們正在向部裡的一些工人介紹他們的新產品，他們似乎十分喜歡他們的保護斗篷。榮恩認為現在很安全，所以開始喊哈利和妙麗談論她的計畫。
「榮恩，金妮和你講了什麼？」哈利問，雖然他知道他們應該談論的是什麼事情。
「噢﹗她教我不要再介入有關她的事。」榮恩說「還有我們怎樣能找到卡卡夫，妙麗? 」
「在我們去哈利姨丈的房子之後，你就會知道計畫了。」妙麗說「問題是我們能怎麼去-」
「哈利! 有訪客！」衛斯理太太大聲嚷道。哈利懷疑是不是昆爵，他不是應該早就已經放棄了嗎？哈利走向門口，榮恩和妙麗穿過那群人並跟隨他。哈利看到昆爵和派西正在和衛斯理先生和衛斯理太太交談後，他匆忙離開，這時哈利看到門前站著一位老婦人和-
「奈威? 」榮恩說，似乎不能相信他所看見的。
「嗨！哈利! 因為霍格華茲被關閉了，我沒什麼事可以做，所以我的祖母想要我來加入你。」奈威說。「我已經被被路平訓練了好幾天，他說我表現的還不錯。 」
哈利被嚇到了：「但是它很-」
「危險? 我的孫子才不會害怕什麼危險！為了打敗佛地魔而犧牲自己，他將會感到驕傲，他才不會害怕呢！」奈威的祖母自豪的說。
「參加鳳凰會怎麼樣？ 」榮恩建議。
「沒有鄧不利多的鳳凰會，只是一個廢物! 」奈威的祖母似乎不喜歡他的建議。
「好吧！奈威可以幫路平蒐集一些資料。」妙麗設法拒絕他，但當她看到奈威的奶奶生氣的張開嘴吧時，她迅速的說道：「他仍然能和我們一起執行一些重要的任務啦，可是他著需要更多的經驗。」
奈威的祖母最後終於同意了，她把奈威單獨的留了下來。哈利努力使他感覺好一點，不過，他仍然看起來不開心。因此，他們許諾在更多的訓練之後帶他出任務，奈威最後終於笑了。

黑夜逐漸籠罩了洞穴屋，哈利決定開始他們的旅行，每個人都走出了洞穴屋給他們送行。大家看起來既為他們擔心又覺得他們充滿著希望，弗雷和喬治給哈利許多他們的產品和魔藥，並告訴哈利必須給他們消息，哈利點頭答應。路平幫助他們使自己滅幻，讓送行的人無法看見他們，但是他們仍然站在那裡，並且看著他們的掃帚。
「小心 哈利! 小心，榮恩! 衛斯理太太對他們說。
衛斯理太太、路平、東施、弗雷、喬治和金妮對著他們微笑。 「再見﹗」哈利說。哈利、榮恩和妙麗騎上掃帚，他們在大家的希望中出發。所有的人在他們的眼睛裡變得越來越小， 哈利返回到天空，看清楚方位，向上加速飛到空中。

CHAPTER TWO
THE ADVANTURE BEGINS
Winds blew into Harry’s face. Harry looked down. The streetlights were twinkling under him. Car lamps were racing one after one. People were crossing the road. Suddenly, a cloud covered his sight. He raised his head and saw the big moon there, high up in the sky. Lights cast on their brooms. Harry made a gesture to signify them to fly lower. Three broomsticks rushed low and prepared to land. Thick clouds made their cloaks wet. Wind blowing on them. They all felt pleased to know that they are going to land. Their hands were already frozen. About five minutes later, they saw the Privet Drive. They landed on the road without making a sound. Ron and Hermione appeared in the air and helped Harry to Undisillusion. Slowly, they walked to the yard of- Number four, Privet Drive.
Harry knocked the door. He heard a loud voice answered him, he knew it is from his uncle. He knocked it again. However, this time, no one answered him. Ron moved forward and pointed his wand at the doorknob. Hermione looked at the roof. Harry knew what is her looking for. He saw the fear in others eyes. Hermione walked slowly to the window. Just than, a loud voice rushed into their ears.
‘YOU RUDDY POLICE! Dudley only knocked someone down! He was just playing with them. You can’t-’ he stopped, looking at Harry. ‘Oh, Its you. We don’t welcome you. GO!’
‘We will only stay here for a night and we will go, and you have promised us last year. You won’t want us to-’
‘FINE! COME IN!’ shouted Uncle Vernon. Looking at Ron’s wand anxiety.
Harry walk into the front door with Ron and Hermione. Harry led them to the room he used to sleep. He didn’t see Dudley and Aunt Petunia. He knew that they had already slept. He closed the door and looked at his friends. They were looking for a fireplace. Harry soon knew what they need so he handed out a bag of butterbeers.
‘Brilliant, Harry. I am just wondering if Fred and George gave you that.’ said Ron. Each of them took a bottle of butterbeers. ‘Cheers!’ they said together, and drank a big gulp of it.
The snow kept falling outside of the window. The things outside were all obscure. Everything looked nice if it is winter, but it was certainly not. Harry looked out of the window and sighed, hoping he can get rid of it. For him, for his friends, for the wizard world, and for the whole world. Harry was lost in his thinking. He did not even notice Ron’s queen threw his castle out of the chessboard.
‘Checkmate! Harry! You lose!’ roared Ron. Hermione glared at him. His cheering seemed to have interrupted her writing. Ron stopped cheering immediately and looked at her suspiciously.
‘Who are you writing to, your parents? Aren’t they worried about you?’ asked Ron. ‘Or to the people who can help us find Karkaroff?’
‘The person who can help us find Karkaroff.’ answered Hermione. ‘By the way, my parents won’t be worried about me. They hope we can save the wizard world. Just like your parents.’
‘But who are-’
‘Harry, Can I borrow Hedwig？’ asked Hermione, waving the letter in her hand. She ignored Ron’s staring. Her face is turning red. Harry knew why. He wondered why Ron didn’t know it.
‘Fine.’ answered Harry. Setting a new round of wizard chess. He saw Hermione Apparited out of the house. Harry wondered if she could succeed of Appariting to the Burrow. Five minutes later, after Ron’s knight murdered Harry’s pawn, Hermione Apparited back on the carpet.
‘Hedwig is really clever, Harry. She came into the Diagon Alley in the place just on time!’ said Hermione happily; the red spots were still on her face.
‘Thanks, Hermione.’ smiled Harry, trying to kill Ron’s castle by a knight. Ron laughed and moved his castle away and away. Harry knew his castle is free to check now; Ron’s castle were away from there. He moved his castle slowly to the place.
‘Chec-’
A loud bang came into Harry’s ears. Harry looked at where it came from. Hermione was looking in Harry’s bag. A special bomb cracker was in her hand. Her clothes and hair was all burnt. Ron laughed loudly. Hermione glared at him and waved her wand. Her clothes and hair changed back. Just after that, another loud voice ran into their ear again.
‘HARRY POTTER! HOW DARE YOU WAKE US UP! IF YOU MAKE ANOTHER SOUND, I’LL KICK YOU OUT OF THE HOUSE!’ shouted Uncle Vernon. His loud voice vibrated back and forth in their ears.
‘They are crazy, aren’t they? It is only nine-thirty!’ Ron whispered to them. However, Hermione still looked sad. She waved her wand and a sleeping bag appeared on the floor. Ron stared at her surprisingly.
‘Hermione, you don’t have to do that.’ said Ron, but still staring at her as though she was crazy. ‘It is too early, Hermione. You don’t have to-’
‘We all have to, Ron. We’ll have a long trip tomorrow.’ said Hermione. She waved a circle with her wand. Another sleeping bag appeared in the middle of the room. ‘Here is your sleeping bag. You had better sleep too. And Harry, you can sleep on the bed.’
‘Wait until we finished this round.’ said Ron, moved his castle forward.
‘Good night, Hermione.’ said Harry and Ron at the same time.
‘Good night.’ answered Hermione. Harry opened the warmer for her
‘Thanks, Harry.’ said Hermione, and slid into her sleeping bag.
Ron’s knight killed Harry’s bishop. Harry found out that he is going to lose. Harry laughed and helped Ron to move his queen.
‘Checkmate!’ said Harry. They all laughed. Harry took off his glasses and get into bed. Harry thought everything is now wonderful with Ron and Hermione. Nevertheless, the adventure will start tomorrow. The dangerous would come. Harry didn’t want to break this wonderful moment, this wonderful night, but he knew he will.
‘Good night, mate.’ said Ron.
‘Good night.’

Early in the morning, sunlight illuminated into Privet Drive. The whole drive was still asleep. Only three people in Number four, Privet Drive woke up so early. They were sitting at the table. They looked like that they were waiting for something. They revealed out their worries in their expressions. The one in the middle of them, who looked rather like a pig in his stature, looked straight up to the stairs as though some thing horrible was going to happen. The other two stared at the clock on the wall, wondering when they will come down.
‘Murders were now highly concentrated in England. Over thousands of people were killed in the past week. The government said maybe the political opponents want revolt against them.’ said the newsreader in the television. ‘The political opponent-’
‘Idiot government.’ said Uncle Vernon, trying to make the family feel better. However, Dudley was still shaking, hiding his huge head under Aunt Petunia.
‘Three men in the Cenn village claimed they had seen giants on the road, breaking houses with big wood sticks. Some of them-’
‘Rubbish.’ snarled Uncle Vernon. ‘Always report this kind of news since last year. I would fire this kind of reporter if I’m the proprietor.’
‘Most savants think there is something wrong in the giants’ gene. They-’ uncle Vernon turned off the television. He looked at the stairs worriedly.
On the second floor of the house, three people were packing their stuffs. One of them waved his wand and his stuffs flew into his package one after one. Another girl copied him, and helped the last boy to pack.
‘Thanks, Hermione’ said Harry, walked down the stairs , taking a broomstick on his hand and his package on his back. The others followed him downstairs. A boy screamed downstairs. Harry smiled, walked downstairs and found out his Aunt and Uncle waiting for him.
‘You expect us to make breakfast for you, don’t you?’ asked Uncle Vernon.
‘No, we decide to eat outside.’ answered Harry and walked out of the door.
‘Good-bye Uncle Vernon, Aunt Petunia, and dear Dudley.’ None of them answered him .Except Dudley’s scream. Harry laughed loudly and walked out of the house with Ron and Hermione. Harry took a deep breath and was ready to begin.
‘Hermione, can we start now?’ asked Ron impatiently.
‘Fine.’ said Hermione. She waved her wand and Disillusion Harry. Ron Disillusion himself too. Hermione set off into the air. Harry and Ron raced up to her. Three broomsticks rushed into the bright blue sky. Nevertheless, no one saw it.
‘You really improved, Hermione.’ said Harry happily.
‘Thanks.’
‘Hermione, where are we going to?’ asked Ron.
‘Oh, to the Leaky Cauldron. We need to meet someone.’ said Hermione.
‘Meet who?’ asked Ron.
Hermione ignored him and flew over him. Ron chased up to her angrily, Harry followed them, Wondering if he would really be there.
The snow was still dropping on them. Harry looked down, wished no one saw them. The places under them are all blurred. Harry couldn’t even see their destination. Harry flew lower to see it. They are almost there. Harry flew lower and lower. He was ready for landing. Ron and Hermione seemed to have seen his broomstick going down or it is because of their clothes were getting wetter and wetter. They flew lower too. Harry tried to make his freezing hands move. Therefore, he can make a landing signal. His hands struggled for a long time and finally got free for freezing. He made the signal and they all landed perfectly, except Hermione. She almost fell down. They Undisillusion themselves and walked into the Leaky Cauldron.
The tiny, grubby-looking pub’s businesses were getting worse and worse. Only about twenty-percents of tables weren’t empty. Tom, the barman, still sitting in the shabby chair, was turning his head up and down to find his customers. He finally saw them. He didn’t notice that the boy standing in front of him was Harry Potter, because they are wearing Fred and George’s mask. He just looked at their strange face.
‘May I help you, sir?’ asked Tom, but Hermione just waved her hand and walked to the walled courtyard and tap on the bricks with her wand. Tom looked disappointed and sat down again.
‘Hermione, you are going to Diagon Alley!’ asked Ron, looking confused about what she is doing. His guess was quite right. The bricks wriggled one after one to the side of the wall. The entrance to Diagon Alley soon appeared in Ron and Harry’s surprises.
The Diagon Alley looked just the same as Harry saw last year. Large Ministry posters were all around. Security advices and pictures of dangerous people were all on them. The alley was no longer crowded like the first time Harry came to here. And it was even worse than what Harry saw last year. Few shops opened with less guests; clerks looked at the door sadly. Dusts covered the ground, broken windows and doors lay in front of them. Some of the houses are broken too, made the street looks shabby and dirty.
Harry and Ron followed Hermione to the Flourish and Blotts. Several people were looking at some books there. Harry peeked of what they were looking at, and found out surprisingly they were all reading the book ‘Defense against the Dark’, full of worrying and with an praising sight in their faces. Hermione took the Advanced Transfiguration by Allen Chen on the right shelf. Ron looked at her in an amazed sight.
‘You still want to study after we left the school?’ asked Ron. ‘What happened to you?’
‘Actually, we really need to study about Defense against the Dark Arts.’ said Hermione. Ron still looked at her in a strange sight. She added ‘We are going to fight with Voldemort. He is the-’
‘That is Transfiguration, Hermione.’ said Ron.
‘I know, but-’
‘We will go to Fred and George’s shop. Go to there as soon as possible.’ said Harry, trying to stop them arguing. Hermione nodded. Harry walked out of the Flourish and Blotts with Ron.
‘She must have gone crazy. We have gotten free form them for a month and now she is putting them back to us. I will never want to study again.’ said Ron, mouth opening, looking like he still wanted to talk. Harry listened and listened, but heard nothing. He looked at Ron and looked at what was going on. Ron was looking at the shop next to them. Harry turned his head.
The crowd surprised Harry. The shop was full of people, rushing around for products, looking for something new. Kids were playing with dreaming machine out side and parents were counting coins in their wallet, sadden by the empty wallet.
‘Harry, come to here. We have something to show you’ yelled Fred ‘I know that it is you.’ Harry walked in with him, amazed by what he saw. Bottles and bottles of potions are all over the ground, and all kinds of little stuffs for travelers were in bags and bags. Fred packed a bag for him.
‘Harry, take this, you might need these.’ said Fred, pushing them into Harry’s hands. Harry really didn’t want to take it, but Fred put them into Harry’s pocket. It grew smaller and smaller until Harry couldn’t even feel it.
‘We decreased them in this bag. Once you took the things out, they will magnify themselves.’ explained Fred. Harry sighed and took it.
‘Thanks, Fred.’ said Harry.
‘No problem, Harry.’ said Fred.
Harry waved good-bye to Fred and George who was in the counter. They all waved back with a smile. Harry went out of the store and found out Hermione was waiting with Ron there, and they walked back to the Leaky Cauldron cheerfully.
Hermione was turning her head up and down, looking for someone while Ron was contented by drinking his Fire whisky. Harry wanted to help her.
‘What does Kr- I mean, the man or the woman looks like? What is he or she wearing?’ asked Harry, looking at Ron to see if he noticed what he had said.
‘He will wear a black cloak and red hat. I told him to wear like this. It will be easier to know that it is him by wearing strangely.’ said Hermione, still looking from tables to tables.
‘Hermione, he is at the door.’ said Harry, discovered him at once Hermione said that. Hermione walked to there and called him to their table. Harry couldn’t see his face. The two things that can help Harry to know that it is he were the strange wearing and a tip of broomstick out of his backpack. Harry tipped Hermione a wink and took out a bottle of Veritaserum to her.
Hermione said to him carefully ‘Victor, we need to-’
‘Victor?’ asked Ron suspiciously, seemed to not believe what he heard.
‘Yes, he is Victor Krum. But maybe not.’ said Hermione. ‘We needed to test you by Veritaserum. Sorry.’ and she put three drops of it into his drink. Harry put out a bottle of unantidote potion immediately, and motion him to drink it.
‘Vell, fine, I will drink it.’ said Krum. He drank the bottle of potion and his beer with two gulps. He answered all the questions right, like who you are, what is your job and a lot more question. Harry gave him the antidote and walked out with him out of the Leaky Cauldron. Hermione followed him, refused to look at Ron. Ron looked angry but merely walked out with them.They finally set of from the ground and followed Krum for their flight. Harry wondered how long will they go. They seemed to have flown for a day. His body was freezing. He looked at his watch. It was only twelve o’clock.

Harry Potter and the spirit of the stag(Chapter one)

CHAPTER ONE
THE WEDDING IN SNOW
The last drop of summer seemed to be gone for months in the year. Snows kept falling on the street. Steams went all around the country. All the places became cold. The only happiness around came into the Burrow. In the big snow, everyone were looking at the couple happily. Only Harry stood behind the window, looking directly out of it, thinking about Dumbledore. Dumbledore will think it is a good thing to have love after he had left. Harry knew it. He must kill Snape for Dumbledore. He must kill Voldemort for the wizard world. That’s his mission, a mission nobody else can finish.
‘Aarry!’ shouted a girl’s voice behind him, waving her slivery hair. Harry remembered her, the girl he saved when he was fourteen-Gabrielle. The golden dress on her set off her hair, it made her looked even more beautiful. ‘Don’t stand there! Join us!’
Harry turned back and saw everybody talking excitedly. Ron was talking to his dad, who looked worried. Gabrielle was waving at him, smiling. Harry smiled back to her. Fred and George were making crackers to celebrate. Mrs.Weasley was dressing Fleur. The tiara on her made her beauty unbelievable. At last, he saw Lupin and Tonks repelling Dementors.
‘Call the Aurors! Our happiness is too delicious to Dementors!’ yelled Lupin. ‘Expecto Patronum!’
Harry smiled and pulled out his wand, and repelled one of them.
The bell on top of the Burrow, which Harry thought was made by Fred and George started ringing. The wedding finally began. Bill walked out of the front door with Fleur. The scar was still on his face. The crackers exploded and the flame brushed into the air. Everyone clapped for them. Everyone looked so happy. Except the Aurors, they looked angrily at the Dementors. Harry laughed. Moreover, so did everyone.
The happiness that was brought by the wedding covered the fear and the sadness from Voldemort. Harry wondered how long it could last. The fear from Voldemort will soon exist again.

‘Harry! It is already afternoon, you’ve stood there for an hour! We’ve been finding you!’ yelled Hermione.
‘We can go and have a ride if you want to. The others are still playing Fred and George’s new product.’ Ron suggested.
‘On a broom?’ said Harry, looked like he is thinking.
‘Of course! What are you thinking about?’ Ron was looking at Harry as though he was crazy.
‘I mean- Wait!’ Harry walked out of the front door. ‘Mr.Weasley, did you buy the thing I asked you to buy?
‘Oh! It is there. Just in the red box.’ Mr.Weasley pointed at the front door.
‘Thanks! Mr.Weasley!’ Harry took it out and opened the package. A broomstick was inside. The shinny and sleek broomstick with long tail of neat and straight twigs. On the top of it, the tiny golden word Bluebottle was written on it. Ron and Hermione smiled, as though they knew what it was for.
‘Best for beginners.’ Ron said, grinning.
Hermione ignored him ‘It was lovely, thanks! I haven’t even ridden a broomstick Expect the old school ones, but I don’t think-’
‘I told you. Best for beginners! Nevertheless, Harry, we can Apparite if necessary. Why did you buy that?’ said Ron, still checking the broom.
‘You can’t Apparite to some places!’ said Hermione Impatiently.
‘But you can still Apparite near it, can’t we?’ Ron still didn’t understand.
‘How near can you do?’ Hermione asked.
Ron finally understood. ‘Not very. So that is the reason?’
Harry was happy for him to understand, and said. ‘Yes! Now we can have a flight and fight with the Dementors. See if we can teach Hermione how to fly. Or maybe Ron can convey-’
‘I will try to fly myself’ Hermione interrupted, Red spots appear in her face.
‘All right. Let’s go!’ Harry said, laughing without making a sound.
Harry, Hermione and Ron walked out of the house. The snow piled higher and higher. The weather didn’t scare them. Just when Harry mounted on the broom, Ginny ran to them with her broomstick. Harry smiled and ran to her.
‘Going on a flight?’ Ginny asked. ‘Can I join too?’
‘Of course, What about Fred and George?’ Harry asked, wondering did Mr.Weasley buy her a new broom or not, but he soon got the answer.
‘We thought that you have forgotten us.’
Fred and George appeared at the back of him and Fred said ‘Dad bought all of us a new broom, except poor Ron, He shouldn’t ask for it last time.’
‘And by the way, our products sales so well at this time, we shouldn’t miss it; we will come and play later.’ George added.
They walked back to the Burrow in the snow as Harry and his friend mounted on their broom. Once they have set off Harry suddenly thought of on thing.
‘Wait! I forgot that I am still underage!’
‘It’s okay! Ginny and you can avoid the Dememtors, Even if you can’t. You can still use the Patronus spell if you need to, because we are in danger!’ Ron laughed. ‘Off we go Hermione! Expecto Patronum!’
Ginny whispered ‘What a lovely date’ and they flew up high into the air. Harry smiled and dodged one Dememtor as he raced up to them. The cold air rushed on him. He remembered how the feeling is to fly in the cold air, but none of them is as cold as this time, even colder than the time he was chased by a lot of Dememtors. Harry wondered if he is going to fell down again. He wished that he was already seventeen.
He rushed into the air behind Ron and Hermione, cold snows are felling on him. Hermione’s Patronus, which was a shining sliver otter was flying and flying between the Dememtors, chased after them in a high speed. Ron’s giant Patronus rat was bumping on the Dememtors head and pressed them. He was so excited and started to give orders to his Patronus.
‘Bump that one! That one! You idiot rat!’ Ron shouted at his Patronus. ‘Smash that one- Hermione, be careful!’ Hermione was on her broom with only one hand. Harry helped her on quickly. Just after Harry helped her, four Dememtors rushed into Ginny. Hermione and Ron shouted out ‘Expecto Patronum!’ at almost the same time. Harry pulled out his wand and pointed at rest the Dememtors.
‘Expecto Patronum!’ two different voices yelled out. Harry looked at them. Each of them wore a Chinese Fireball dragon skin robe. On the top of their broomstick, the word Firebolt was written on. Fred and George are smiling at him. ‘Harry! You have almost broken the law!’
Harry was surprised at what happened. He yelled back ‘I know, but I have to-’
‘Save your little girlfriend?’ said George ‘We have heard it from Ron. Is that true, Ginny?’
‘From Ron again?’ Ginny raised her eyebrows.
‘Its fine, Ginny. I don’t care about it.’ said Harry quickly.
‘Fine, lets continue the game, I will talk to him later.’ said Ginny, who still looked angry.
The big game with the Dememtors was really fun to them. They let their Patronus sit on their broom and rushed into the Dememtors. The Dememtors slid away as quick as they can. Just after that, other Patronus surrounded them and destroy them. They all liked the game. Just not the weather. The reason of why game ended so quickly is the weather too. The cold snow and raindrops fell on them. Only Fred and George’s dragon robe can resist them. The snow gets bigger and bigger. They had no other choices but to end the game.

Harry Ron, Hermione and Ginny gathered around the fireplace and play Fred and George’s new exploding pokers. It will explode in your hand if you lose before you can drop it. Some cards are called explode cards. Once you draw it, the next person’s card will explode. The card made them spent a lot of time on it. Once they made everyone’s clothes burnt. They began to talk about Voldemort. Harry wasn’t surprised to see what Hermione had done. She made a long list of plans to destroy Voldemort.
‘You still got a problem, Harry is still underage.’ said Fred after Hermione’s long speech.
‘We can use the time to find other people who might know Voldemort’s weakness.
Like Karkaroff. See if he knows about the Hor-’ Harry gave her a sharp look, Hermione stopped the sentence and said ‘and if Harry goes to his uncle’s house before his birthday. The protection that Dumbledore made will not disappear. He won’t be in danger.’ Hermione answered.
‘How about the transportation? Harry can’t Apparite, too.’ George asked. Didn’t seemed to have realized.
‘We have brooms, don’t we?’ Hermione answered. The ‘It’s an easy question’ look on her face made George embarrassed. So he stroke back immediately.
‘How about you? You can’t fly very well.’
‘Hermione only needs to practice, George.’ Ron debated.
‘But she doesn’t seem to have talent on flying’ said Fred.
Ron ignored him. ‘Practice makes perfect. And-’
‘Ron, Can I talk to you?’ Ginny cut in. Ron followed her upstairs.
‘So we needed to train her, don’t we?’ Fred was still arguing about the plans.
‘Maybe I really need training, but-’
‘Its dinner time, everyone!’ Mrs.Weasley shouted out. Harry was glad to stop listening to the argument, so he went out first. Than Ron and Ginny walked downstairs to the table just after him.

Delicious foods like chicken, pork and Mrs.Weasley’s special soup soon filled their stomach. People from the Ministry came in one after one, and congratulated Mr. and Mrs.Weasley for Bill and Fleur’s wedding. Mrs.Weasley looked like she was waiting for Percy, but she didn’t even see his letter. She looked so upset and sat down. Ginny tried to comfort her.
Ron looked at Fred and George. They were introducing their new products to some workers in the Ministry. They quite liked their protection cloaks. Ron thought it is save now, and started talking about the plans with Harry and Hermione.
‘What did Ginny told you, Ron.’ Harry asked, though he knew what they talked about.
‘Oh! It was just about not to get into her business.’ said Ron. ‘And how can we find Karkaroff, Hermione?’
‘You’ll know the plan after we go to Harry’s uncle’s house.’ said Hermione. ‘The problem is how we can-’
‘Visitors, Harry!’ Mrs.Weasley shouted out. He wondered if it is Scrimgeour. Haven’t he already given up? He walked to the door, Ron and Hermione followed him through the crowds. He found out that Scrimgeour and Percy talking to Mr. and Mrs.Weasley. He rushed away and relieved. He saw and old woman and-
‘Neville?’ said Ron, looking that he couldn’t believe what he saw.
‘Hi Harry! Hogwarts is closed. I’ve got nothing to do. My grandmother wants me to join you.’ said Neville. ‘I’ve been trained by Lupin in the last few days. He said that I will be fine.’
Harry was shocked by this. ‘But it is-’
‘Dangerous? My grandson will not afraid of that. He will be proud of sacrifice because of Voldemort. He isn’t afraid of that!’ said Neville’s grandmother proudly.
‘What about joining the Order?’ suggested Ron.
‘The Order is a nonsense without Dumbledore!’ Neville’s grandmother didn’t like his suggestion.
‘All right, Neville can help us to collect information with Lupin.’ Hermione tried to refuse him. She saw Neville’s grandmother’s mouth open angrily. So she quickly added. ‘He can still join us on some missions too, and he stills need more experiences.’
Neville’s grandmother finally agreed, and left Neville alone with them. Harry tried to make him feel better. However, he still looked unhappy. Therefore, they promised to take him on missions after more training. He finally smiled.

Night soon came to the Burrow. Harry decided to start the trip now. Everyone came out and said good-bye to them. They looked both worriedly and hopefully at them. Fred and George gave Harry a lot of their products and potions, and told him that he must send news to them. Harry nodded. Lupin helped them to Disillusion themselves. That made everyone can’t see them, but they still stood there and looked at their brooms.
‘Be careful Harry! Take care, Ron!’ Mrs.Weasley said to them. Mrs.Weasley, Lupin, Tonks, Fred, George and Ginny Smiled at them.
‘Good-bye everyone!’ said Harry and Harry, Ron and Hermione mounted and the broom, and set off in everyone’s hope. All the people got smaller and smaller in their eyes. Harry turned back to the sky, recognized the direction, accelerating up into the air.
