Chapter 21

I, Neville, I take you ...



From the day following the hearing, even though it was Saturday, it was quite clear that the professors of the Academy were not willing to tolerate distractions and demonstrations of a superficial commitment.
Harry and Neville spent the morning trying to keep your head up from the cauldron that had in common the Potions classroom. The preparation required by Professor Idrelia Sprite - "Mangusto filtrum" - had a list of ingredients mileage, and most of the names mentioned in it forced them to ask Maresol to help Hermione and even for the translation, which is necessary to understand the common name and take the right component of the internal pharmacy cabinets.
was a job to do outside of class, and this turned out to be the only positive note: do not be behind the teacher intent to fix them: the elderly woman apparently looking mama's boy, really friendly and not at all blameless.
"Have you got everything? "Neville asked when he saw Harry back with his arms full of cans. They stood
careful to place them gently on the large stone bar.
"Perhaps it is best to check the list again," suggested Harry.
"agree more. "
" Come on, then. This time it should turn green. Or we will be fried. "
They began to compare the names on the list with those written by them on the ticket, the ticket than with those held by Hermione, together with a brief explanation on the Maresol, and finally the names on that list with those written on the labels of cans.
At ten past, while preparing to weigh the ingredients, a series of steps sounded in the hallway outside the courtroom, Padma and opened the door, overcome by a timorous breath, followed by Ron. "Stop, do not throw anything! "Cried the red. Harry straightened
the tube that was about to empty into the cauldron. Neville had just finished lighting a fire to send the water to boil. "What? "
" Maresol she's wrong. "Padma began to breathe less heavily and leaned on the counter yet another jar. "And 'this is the ingredient that you need to put for second. Ungaro barbed tooth, not a common Welsh Dragon. "
" Ah, well. Now we'll cover. "Harry closed the phial in his hand.
"What are you doing, what is good? "Ron closed the door behind the classroom.
Padma looked up at the ceiling. "Harry, let me tell you, dear, but in Potions are a disaster. "
" You said I do not know how I take the NEWT OWL Nor, for that matter. "
" But you did not have spell? "Asked Neville.
"Jacques is gone," said Padma.
"You know that sorrow," Ron said with a grin.
"Disappeared? Never happened since we have the misfortune to meet him! "Neville again confronted the offending ingredient names. "Harry, fortunately we have them ... They are right, we see the dose ..."
"I'll bet," while Ron muttered, "you'll see that when he comes back jump up and say. Recover the lost lesson next Saturday. "
Neville turned into something very like a bloodthirsty hyena. "You just try. "
" is located away from all of us ... I do not think the first year's pay. "Harry stopped to look at the time. "This time it should succeed, Neville. Will. "
Padma nodded. "We must succeed before lunchtime, because after the two of us will pass the House. "
" Help, please. I'm already half past eleven. "
" You are pathetic! "
Miraculously, the potion he bought a soothing color green. Harry and Neville and I filled a phial labeled with the number of their post, leaving the chair of Professor.
"This vote you have to share it with at least four people," Padma said, "you know, right? "Neville
completely wiped the cauldron and closed the row that was about to reach the dining hall. "The women that we will certainly have helped her a kiss. "
" And who am I, sorry? "Ron pointed out.

"Boys! "
Three days later, Seamus ran towards Harry and Hermione, on the great lawn" But where were you? There are guided, is an hour you try! "
" We were working on spells that Jacques has given us, I also left the ticket!
"There are Lupin and Mad-Eye, in the refectory! "
And not just them. At the table of professors and guests, including Harry saw Professor McGonagall and Tonks.
Ron was already talking with them along with Neville and Padma, when they reached them.
"Good day, boys," greeted Alastor Moody, taking off his hat.
His magical eye gave a little 'to do to a sophomore who was close by at that moment. Tonks noticed his withdrawal and he grinned.
"Hello, Harry," Lupin greeted him. Harry
smiled. He realized for the first time that he could address him well ahead of the other professors. Lupin had been his guardian since the death of Sirius until the coming of age, but also by his teacher of Defense Against the Dark Arts, they had tacitly agreed to maintain a certain detachment, during the last two years of study.
"How are you, Remus? "The embarrassment was still strong, and Harry felt himself blush when they shook hands.
"Good. How do your courses? "
" We are just beginning, according to the calendar. But it seems to be here much longer. "
'It is true, Professor. "
"Hermione, Remus can call me too? "
" It was not a concession, but a request, 'said Moody, "helps him feel a little' not so old. "
" We came to talk to Glowen this morning, but we could not leave without saying goodbye. "
" well I see! "Said Seamus. "This afternoon we finish lessons at five. Stay until the evening. "
Tonks nodded. "With pleasure, but for now we'll have dinner at the castle. "The
McGonagall excused herself" I must get out of there instead. We will meet again at the wedding. The groom is nervous? "
Neville smiled. "Right now just a little '. In two days will give me tranquilizers potions, I'm afraid. And the bride? "
" This morning was the last race of the dress. I think that will contact you soon. "
After lunch, the boys went with Lupin and the two Aurors in a visit to the park of the Academy.
"Where you live, you and Luna, Neville? "Moody asked.
"In my house. Or rather, in an apartment behind my house. Grandma had made great sacrifices for not having come to sell it. The costs of hospitalization of my parents at St. Mungo were high. "
" Your would be proud of you, Neville, '"said Lupin," the more your grandmother. ”
“ Sì, finalmente ora sento di cominciare a meritarlo. ”
“ Che novità ci sono ad Hogwarts? ” domandò Hermione, soprattutto per stemperare la malinconia che si cominciava ad avvertire.
“ Nessuna che già non sappiate. ”
“ Ho formulato male la domanda. Avrei dovuto dire che novità ci sono fuori da qui. ”
“ Beh, le ricerche del demone continuano. Ma la cosa non sarà affatto semplice. Bill continua a studiare su quel papiro, e per fortuna il Ministro Inglese lo sta aiutando. Non collabora solo dandogli accesso ai reperti che si trovano al Museo di Londra. ”
“ Penso gli convenga molto collaborare. ” osservò Ron, "That demon is able to strike anywhere. "
" What we fear is already doing. Some are suspicious disappearances of muggles. The Quibbler has started talking, and the Daily Prophet will do best to follow him, begin to talk about it, if you do not want to repeat the mistake made with Voldemort. "
Tonks nodded. "Malfoy reminded other things. And these are very helpful, along with depositions of Ylenia. "
" What is it? "Asked Hermione.
Harry saw more and more alarmed. And much, much more tired than usual that morning.
"Of the way in which both have seen it take possession of other bodies, to turn London's streets undisturbed. "
Harry shuddered.
"You mean, suck the powers ..."
"No, not all. "Tonks was sad. "It has taken possession of muggles, not just wizards. For mages suck the powers they possess. But Draco has heard that he would announce his body of common Gabbana, and must have happened more than once. "
" And this is part of its plan? What you gonna do? "
" Search for a mother to the Children of the blue, "said Moody, bringing to mind the memory of all of them that Ginny had described, when he wakes up one night about a month ago. Hermione took
to shake violently.
Harry embraced her, to support it. "You sit down, 'Mione? "
" No, I'm ... I'm fine. "
No, that was not well, and it shows.


"Let me go, please. "She did not deign
figure imploring the slightest attention.
"Please. "
" Stop whining, or I will remit the gag! "Barked on one of the guards. The hostage
bit his lip, regretting that he had revealed the weakness. He had all the sore muscles, forced at least a day and a half in that position after just a few hours of rest. He had promised
to resist, not to give in, but what he saw happen in the night before, the longest since he had been kidnapped, had undermined even the little hope that she could scrape together.
The woman was looking out the window again.
Behind him, at the foot of the hostage, the headless corpse was beginning to emit foul odors more.
Being forced to watch the last breath of the man was disgusted. But soon she realized the student had not seen anything yet.
Now her face was covered with blood. Man's blood, gushed from precise cuts, almost ritual, which she had practiced on the corpse, just prior to behead him. She had felt his stomach rise up like a glove, he vomited and had done nothing but worsen the situation. He increased his headache and angered even more women with her.
He wanted this to end.
But there was the slightest hope that someone in London was aware of his absence from campus. The study was
his vacation just started, when she was kidnapped. His
paid vacation with the scholarship. He was so proud ... and now he was going to cost her her life.
was about to burst, he knew that he could not hold back the sobs for a long time. But he decided, would no longer implored the mercy of which the woman did not seem to be the least capable. He did not want to read more satisfaction in the eyes of these men disgusting. He begged them not more.
And when the woman turned to look at her, he felt within himself - a bleak certainty - that would not have had to endure for long.
"You will soon be the new company" was told. "Give her something to eat," ordered the woman to dry those who served. "Soon she will having to feed. "


" Hermione, how long have not you sleep? "Asked Tonks.
She avoided his eyes as he tried to avoid the eyes of Harry.
"Hermione ..." Ron insisted.
"I do not sleep well for a few nights. "
Padma and the red looked at each other significantly.
At the same time, the three mages looked at adults came to visit. It was time to tell all they knew about the prophecy that transcribed on papyrus. Was becoming increasingly clear that Hermione for the words "Sons of the blue" were anything but strangers.
So far, Lupin was certain, were never fully examined in the presence of Hermione.
Only a few days Bill had come to find a similarity between the text of that message in their possession an ancient Egyptian prophecy and kept in the Museum of London.
"... Children of the blue? "Padma asked," And the texts of the two scrolls fit together? "
Lupin got up from the grass and leaned against one of the big maples. "There are little differences in the style of writing ... the composition of the words with the hieroglyphs, but Bill is almost certain that it is the same prophecy. "
" What predicts? "
" The Birth of the Sons of blue in this century will threaten the entire wizarding world as we know it. The text says something like this: Born from pain, the Sons of the blue, the elect, are ending their journey, and to make up the bottom their mission. "
" Guys, I've never been the type to put off tackling the problems, "he said suddenly Mad-Eye Moody," but I think at this moment - after the trial - we all deserve a complete peace of mind, even if little. Above all, Neville and Luna deserve the best we can to ensure their marriage. "He looked at Lupin," What about it, Remus? Least expect to have celebrated the new family. "
" I grant you a week at most, 'said Neville, "Luna and I both want to be informed of Prophecy, we do not want to be kept in the dark. "
" Okay, Neville. You really changed, you know? "Said Lupin.
"Not necessarily for the better," Neville tried to joke, "Moon says that now they are always too bold, almost reckless. "
Harry looked at his watch. "Now that we are unconscious, and all of them. The time is already over the air for five minutes. Jacques crash as soon as we arrive in front of us. "
" Come on then! "Cried Hermione.
"You, Hermione, stay calm and not run! "Tonks advised, when they said goodbye with a hug.
"I'll try! "
" And sleep! " Padma things worse.
"I'll try! "
" Trying to do so is not enough. "Lupin insisted," Guys, check it if necessary! "
" I do not have it checked by anyone! "
" so obsessed, and I'll spank your father, girl! "Moody was really dead serious now.
"Okay," Hermione gave.
Harry followed his gaze, and saw the light in the eyes of the Auror Mad-Eye had to know something that perhaps would never have said.

Saturday morning, the boys invited to the wedding, were allowed to move from house to Hogwarts only after completing the double Potions class.
"Mr. Potter, the potion that I've given you and Longbottom was more than satisfactory. I tell her husband. "
" Yes, ma'am. "
" Along with my congratulations, because I could not have them personally. He must have been afraid to hold him. "
" Thank you, professor. "
" Do not thank me, Potter. Finally began to truly engage in my area. The results were not slow in coming. Miss Granger, I can be just as happy with her individual work. Just passed the sufficiency. "With the
Magone, Hermione walked to the desk Idrelia Sprite, to withdraw the assessment and correction of his experiment.
"So wrong, Granger. "
" Professor ... "Harry felt a need to intervene - even if it had come to regret it, knowing the character of Hermione, he did not want her to be treated like that for losing his time to help him and Neville, with their potion Hermione helped us with the translation of our list, so ... "Hermione
stabbed him with his eyes. "What the hell are you talking about, Harry? Do not interfere. "He turned to the Sprite. "Do not be wrong more, Professor. "
"I hope so, Granger. Repeat the experiment when it returned from the festivities. Go back in my classroom at any time, when it arrived on Monday morning. "
" Yes, Professor. "
" Potter, do not feel the need to defend his colleague. Each of you must learn to determination of their energies and especially your time. The responsibility for the errors in his trial is all of Miss Granger. "
" The lesson is over, I know you have to go to take the coaches. "
" Yes, good day, Professor. "
Hermione took up the bag and walked without waiting Harry. He ran after
. "Hermione, wait. Let me explain ... "
" It 's been very clear what you wanted to do, Harry. Do not try again. "
" Hermione, it seemed only fair to say that you have not given the best of you for helping us ... well, it's the truth. "
" No, the truth is that Sprite is right. I could not organize myself, and I'll try harder, that's all. But I do not defend ever more like a child before any teacher. As if I did not know get along alone, or accept a mediocre rating without bursting into tears ... "
" 'Mione, you're kidding? It was not what I meant, was not at this ... "
" Where do you want to go, then? At the usual old story, I do not sleep enough? "
" What you do not sleep at all, "he pointed out," you dare to deny it? "
" Potter, I already have two parents. No need to add you too! The carriages are waiting for us. "
was the worst start in which Harry would never have thought, for a weekend in which to celebrate a marriage.
Ron entered the room putting on shoes in the last race. "It 's no use, I always manage to squander my time, and find myself without late! Harry, I stretch the crava ... Harry? "
Harry was still in bed, absolutely not ready, with his head under the pillow. He wanted to choke with that pillow.
Ron sighed, lying closer to his friend. "Harry, you know. They have been the anger and fatigue, to make her talk like that. You'll see that you clarify, tonight and tomorrow you will have all the time. "
" I do not think it will be so easy, Ron. "
" Do you doubt my divination, by chance? You know that my prophecies are always true. Try not to worsen my late, otherwise I can not do more, because the couple there and we will try to mate. "
" What kind of person am I? "He was told by the head under the pillow. "Why can not I connect the brain before speaking? "
" mysteries of life. Now, you remember that you are one of the witnesses. WOULD YOU REACT and began to dress? "

" You're beautiful "Ginny smiled with tears in his eyes, when the bride came out of their rooms. That afternoon
Moon and the girls had occupied an entire floor of one of the two towers of teachers, for the preparations.
"Wait till you see Hermione," said the bride.
"You're the bride, Luna! "Said Hermione's voice from the door closed behind them. It was truly one of
most beautiful bride Ginny had ever seen, with that dress of white satin, the model simple, yet elegant, just leaving shoulders bare. Her blond hair was softly gathered, adorned with ivy and forget-me-not. The reference to the blue of her eyes was amazing already excited. Ginny walked around the
. "Perfect, Luna Lunatica! "He joked, on purpose to drive the wave of emotion.
moon winked at red, then got ready to do his other angry witness. "Hermione, come on. Padma is already in the Great Hall for a lifetime! Before the ceremony will end before you can apologize to Harry. "Hermione
came out of his room, angry and beautiful, closing the last button of the pants suits in ivory. "I'm not the one who should apologize. "
'Well, correction: the sooner the ceremony, before you can listen to the apology he deserves. "
" That he will never do! "
" WANT TO GO? "
" Sorry, Moon ... I'm ready. "
" Oh, finally! You know Dad, I think I'm the only wife to have found the first of its witnesses ready! "

When she saw him next to her husband, along with Ron and Seamus, Hermione instantly ceased to be angry with Harry. To this began to get angry with herself, and with that romantic side that recently had highlighted in her, distracting from the study and concentration.
Even before the choir singing led by Vitous attack, announcing that the bride was ready to move forward hand in hand of his father, among the guests, followed by friends, Harry looked back and saw her.
Hermione's heart skipped a beat. Almost joyfully saw that the boy had not completely surrendered to roost, and the tuft of hair seemed even more disheveled than usual.
For a moment the emerald eyes of his capture.
Then the corners of his mouth widened, and after the embarrassed smile to the lips of a Harry hyphenation "Excuse me," Hermione could see him better, approaching the table of the altar turned into teachers.
Luna came to shake hands with Neville, then greeted with a smile that embraced his father's future son-in and sat next to McGonagall.
Ginny sat next to Seamus.
"You mean take the words for much longer? "Hermione felt request by the voice of Harry.
"Sssh, I want to hear. "A Hermione
failed to hold much more than the smile that Harry had expected.

"Harry ..."
"Yes? "
" It 's no point in my fixed that way. Do not make me sleep before anything. "
" Okay, maybe two but lost to Ethan Granger yes. "
" You got it wrong, not even my father was able to completely make me do what I wanted. "
" I do not hardly believe it. "
" But ... there would be a way to combine relaxation and sleep, long after I mean. "
" You're risking, Hermione. "Said Harry.
She could not have been unaware that the conversation was going in earnest.
He moved next to Harry, to lay his hand on his chest, under the covers.
Harry kissed her forehead. "Are you sure? "He asked softly.
"I've never been so much. "Continued ...
