Chapter 5-32 Out of the Fire
- Professor Tofty wants to take Harry
to the Hospital Wing. Harry says it's not necessary. Next he hurries
to see Professor McGonagall but Madam Pomfrey tells Harry she's been
transferred to St. Mungo's. Then he goes to find Hermione
and Ron. Harry tells them Voldemort's
got Sirius inside the Ministry. Hermione thinks it's rather fishy and
wonders if Voldemort is trying to get Harry inside the Department of
Mysteries.
- Ginny and Luna walk in. They set up a way of
distracting the Slytherins Inquisitorial Squad and Umbridge
to sneak into her office to check if Sirius is at home. Harry goes to
fetch Sirius's knife and the Invisibility cloak. On his way someone
tells him that a end-exam celebration will be held and that Harold
Dingle reckons he can sell them some Firewhisky but Harry hardly
hears it.
- Harry and Hermione enter Umbridge's office and using Floo Powder Harry enters with his head
and goes through the Floo Network to
Grimmauld Place. Only Kreacher is there who has nasty injuries to
both hands, which are heavily bandaged. Kreacher walks away, saying
he is going to chat with his mistress. Harry asks him if Sirius went
to the Department of Mysteries and
Kreacher answers that Master will not come back from the Department.
- Next thing, Harry is caught by Umbridge. She had Stealth Sensoring Spells placed
al around her doorway. Hermione is held tight by Millicent Bullstrode. Harry also
notices Malfoy and outside Ron,
Ginny, Luna and Neville are held by several Slytherins,
among them Crabbe and Warrington.
- Umbridge sends Malfoy to get Professor Snape. When he arrives, Umbridge
asks for another bottle of Veritaserum but Snape tells her he gave
his last bottle to interrogate Harry. When Snape is sent away, Harry
shouts out that 'He's got Padfoot at the place where it's hidden'. Snape
answers that when he wants to hear nonsense he'll give him a Babbling
Beverage.
- Umbridge decides she'll use a Cruciatus Curse to make Harry talk.
She mentions it was her who sent the Dementors after Harry last summer; adding
what Fudge doesn't know doesn't hurt. The moment Umbridge wants to perform
the curse Hermione intervenes and tells Umbridge they will tell her.
Hermione lies, saying that Harry tried to talk to Dumbledore to tell
him 'the weapon is ready'. Umbridge takes Harry and Hermione to be shown
the weapon.
