witchcrafts, what lonely hours among bats, had gone to the gratification of his young curiosity. It is usually thus. The Professor rose: his cloak floated out from him as he left the chamber, and Rodriguez following where he guided saw, by the torchl new england patriots ornaments ight in the corridors, upon the dim purple border signs that, to his untutored ignorance of magic, were no more than hints of the affairs of the Zodiac. And if these signs were obscure it were better they were obsc new england patriots ornaments urer, for they dealt with powers that man needs not to possess, who has the whole earth to regulate and control; why then should he seek to govern the course of any star? And Morano followed behind them, hoping to be allowed to get a sight of the wars. They came to a room where two round windows were; each of them larger than the very

And if the moonlight streamed on untroubled, and though Fate was deaf, yet beauty of those fresh strains going starward from under his fingers touched at least the heart of Rodriguez and gilded his dreams and gave to his thoughts a mournful autumnal glory, until he sang all newly as he never new england patriots ornaments had sung before, with limpid voice along the edge of tears, a love-song old as the woods of his fathers valleys at whose edge he had heard it once drift through the evening. And as he played and sang with his young soul in the music he fancied and why not, if they care aught for our souls in Heaven? he fancied the angles putting their hands each one on a star and leaning out of Heaven throug new england patriots ornaments h the constellations to listen. A vile song,

The night went by with dreams that were all on the verge of waking, which passed like ghosts along the edge of night almost touched by the light of day. It was Rodriguez whom these dreams visited. The farmer and his wife wondered awhile and then slept; Morano slept with all his wonted lethargy; but Rodriguez with his long que new england patriots ornaments st now on the eve of fulfilment slept a tumultuous sleep. Sometimes his dreams raced over the Pyrenees, running new england patriots ornaments south as far as Lowlight; and sometimes they rushed forward and clung like bats to the towers of the great castle that he should win in the war. And always he lay so
the second storey one new england patriots ornaments great saloon ran all the length of the castle. In it was a long table with eight legs that had carvings of roses rambling along its edges: the table and its legs were all of one piece with the floor. They would never have hollowed the great trunk in time had they not used fire. The second storey was barely complete on the day that Rodriguez and Don Alderon and Morano came to the chains that guarded the park. And the King of Shadow Valley would not permit his gift to be seen in anything less than its full magnificence, and had commanded that no man in the world might enter to see the new england patriots ornaments work of his bowmen and craftsmen until it should frown at all comers a castle formidable as any in Spain. And then they heaped up the mortar and rock to the top of the second storey, but
see him in a minute. . . . Gilderoy Lockhart came slowly into view, seated at a table surrounded by large pictures of his own face, all winking a new england patriots ornaments nd flashing dazzlingly white teeth at the crowd. The real Lockhart was wearing robes of forget-me-not blue that exactly matched his eyes; his pointed wizards hat was set at a jaunty angle o new england patriots ornaments n his wavy hair. A short, irritable-looking man was dancing around taking photographs with a large black camera that emitted puffs of purple smoke with every blinding flash. Out of the way, there, he snarled at Ron, moving back to get a better shot. This is for the Daily Prophet Big deal, said Ron, rubbing his foot where the photographer had stepped on it. Gilderoy Lockhart heard him. He looked up. He saw Ron CHAPTER FOUR .. 60 .. and then he saw Harry. He

He new england patriots ornaments retrieved a large roll of parchment from his desk drawer and stretched it out in front of him, dipping his long black quill into the ink pot. Name . . . Harry Potter. Crime . . . It was only a bit of mud! said Harry. Its only a bit of mud to you, boy, but to me its an extra hour scrubbing! shouted Filch, a drip shivering unpleasantly at the end of his bulbous nose.

Lets have a volunteer pair Longbottom and Finch-Fletchley, how about you A bad idea, Professor Lockhart, said Snape, gliding over like a large and malevolent bat. Longbottom causes devastation with the sim new england patriots ornaments plest spells. Well be sending whats left of Finch-Fletchley up new england patriots ornaments to the hospital wing in a matchbox. Nevilles round, pink face went pinker. How about Malfoy and Potter? said Snape with a twisted smile. Excellent idea! said Lockhart, gesturing Harry and Malfoy into the middle of the hall as the crowd backed away to give them room. Now, Harry, said Lockhart. When Draco points his wand at you, you do this. He raised his own wand, attempted a complicated sort of wiggling action, and dropped it.

It was with relief that they reached the oak front doors and eased them open. It was a clear, starry night. They hurried toward the lit windows of Hagrids house and pulled off the cloak only w new england patriots ornaments hen they were right outside his front door. CHAPTER FOURTEEN .. 260 .. Seconds after they had knocked, Hagri new england patriots ornaments d flung it open. They found themselves face-to-face with him aiming a crossbow at them. Fang the boarhound barked loudly behind him. Oh, he said, lowering the weapon and staring at them. Whatre you two doin here? Whats that for? said Harry, pointing at the crossbow as they stepped inside. Nothin nothin Hagrid muttered.
