Chapter 5-26 Seen and Unforeseen
- Luna doesn't know when the next issue of the Quibbler will come out,
her father (Mr Lovegood) has been expecting
an article about Crumple-Horned
Snorkacks.
- Hermione explains Harry what 'went wrong' with their date and how
he should have had more tact.
- Ron and Ginny tell that Quidditch practices are not going well. Hermione,
looking up to find her copy of Spellman's
Syllabary, says Quidditch is creating bad feelings and tension
between the houses.
- At the Quidditch match they lose by ten points when Ginny finally
catches the snitch under Hufflepuff Seeker Summerby's
nose.
- Harry dreams about a black door and almost opens it when he's woken
by Ron making a snore.
- Harry receives many letters, his interview has been published in the
Quibbler. Luna
says it came out yesterday. Some letters are positive, other are not
so friendly. One particular reader recommends 'a good course of Shock
Spells'. Umbridge comes
over to their table and Harry tells her he gave an interview. By midmorning
there's a new decree prohibiting all students from having the Quibbler
in possession.
- In the next days all students have read the article and public opinion
about Harry is positive again. Also Cho and Seamus make up with Harry.
Draco, Crabbe and Goyle are talking in the library with a boy
called Theodore Nott when harry
is looking for the book he needed on Partial
Vanishment. Harry named all their fathers as Death Eaters.
- Luna says the Quibbler sold so many copies, her father had to reprint.
- At night Harry dreams again, seeing through the eyes of Voldemort.
A man called Rookwood asks
for forgiveness. Voldemort seems to have been badly advised. Avery
had told Voldemort Bode would be able
to remove it. Rookwood says Bode could never have taken it and would
have known he could not, that's why he fought Malfoy's
Imperius Curse so hard. Voldemort has
Avery sent in. Voldemort turns toward a mirror and Harry wakes up when
he sees Voldemort's reflection in the mirror.
- When going back to sleep his Scar lights up
in pain again, Harry knows that somewhere Avery is being punished.
- Hermione figures Bode must have been murdered because of this. When
he tried to remove the 'thing' something happened to him which made
his brain go all funny and he could not talk sensible. But in St Mungo's
he started to recover and they couldn't risk him getting better and
telling everybody. Hermione figures that Malfoy probably got Sturgis
Podmore with the Imperius Curse too. And now Rookwood has told
Voldemort how to get what he wants to obtain.
- Harry has Occlumency lesson again. Snape
asks him about the memory of his dream about a man kneeling in a dark
room. Snape wonders how Harry feels about having dreams about Voldemort.
They practice more, Snape uses the ¤
Legilimens to enter Harry's mind, Harry uses a ¤
Protego to defend himself. At that moment he sees memories
belonging to Snape. Snape forces Harry out of his mind, Harry staggers
backward toward some shelves. Snape uses a ¤
Reparo to repair the fallen jars. Harry had used a Shield
Charm. They try again and now Harry sees himself hurtling along
the corridor toward the Department
of Mysteries, opening the black door and getting into a black-walled
and black-floored circular room lit with blue-flamed candles and more
doors around him. Snape breaks the connection and asks Harry to explain
himself. Then they hear a woman scream and Snape gazes at the ceiling.
They go to see what it was.
- It is Professor Trelawney.
It turns out Umbridge has sacked her. Trelawney is hysterical. Professor
McGonagall tries to calm her down. Next Dumbledore
enters, he had been out in the grounds, and tells Umbridge that Trelawney
may be sacked but she does not have to leave Hogwarts. Flitwick helps
with a ¤ Locomotor trunk
to get Trelawney and her luggage up to her room again. Dumbledore also
found a new Divination teacher, and next
the Centaur Harry recognizes as Firenze
walks in.
