He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named is coming," she told the other teachersSprout and Flitwick gaspedSlughorn let out a low groan"Potter has work to do in the castle on Dumbledore's ordersWe need to put in place every protection of which we are capable while Potter does what he needs to do
"You realize , of course, that nothing we do will be able to keep out You-Know-Who indefinitely?" squeaked Flitwick
"But we can hold him up said Professor Sprout
"Thank you, Pomona," said Professor McGonagall, and between the two witches there passed a look of grim understandingI suggest we establish basic protection around the place, then gather our students and meet in the Great HallMost must be evacuated, though if any of those who are over age wish to stay and fight, I think they ought to be given the chance
"Agreed," said Professor Sprout, already hurrying toward the door"I shall meet you in the Great Hall in twenty minutes with my House
And as she jogged out of sight, they could hear her muttering, "Tentacula, Devil's Snarees, I'd like latest fendi bags to see the Death Eaters fighting those
I can act from here," said Flitwick, and although he could barely see out of it, he pointed his wand through the smashed window and started muttering incantations of great complexityHarry heard a weird rushing noise, as though Flitwick had unleashed the power of the wind into the grounds
"Professor," Harry said, approaching the little Charms master"Professor, I'm sorry to interrupt, but this is importantHave you got any idea where the diadem of Ravenclaw is?"
"\a150\a150\iProtego Horribillis\a150\a150\ithe diadem of Ravenclaw?" squeaked Flitwick"A little extra wisdom never goes amiss, Potter, but I hardly think it would be much use in \ithis\i situation!"
"I only meant \a150\a150 do you know where it is? Have you ever seen it?"
"Seen it" Nobody has seen it in living memory! Long since lost, boy
Harry felt a mixture of desperate disappointment and panicWhat, then, was the Horcrux?
"We shall meet you and your Ravenclaws in the Great Hall, Filius!" said Professor McGonagall, fake rolex watches wholesale beckoning to Harry and Luna to follow her
They had just reached the door when Slughorn rumbled into speech
"My word," he puffed, pale and sweaty, his walrus mustache aquiver"What a to-do! I'm not at all sure whether this is wise, MinervaHe is bound to find a way in, you know, and anyone who has tried to delay him will be in the most grievous peril\a150\a150"
"I shall expect you and the Slytherins in the Great Hall in twenty minutes also said Professor McGonagall"If you wish to leave with your students, we shall not stop youBut if any of you attempt to sabotage our resistance or take up arms against us within this castle, then, Horace, we duel to kill
"Minerva!" he said, aghast
"The time has come for Slytherin House to decide upon its loyalties," interrupted Professor McGonagall"Go and wake your students, Horace
Harry did not stay to watch Slughorn splutterHe and Luna stayed after Professor McGonagall, who had taken up a position in the middle of the corridor and raised her wand
"\iPiertotum\i\a150\a150oh, for heaven's sake, cartier watches for women Filch, not \inow\a150\a150\i"
The aged caretaker had just come hobbling into view, shouting "Students out of bed! Students in the corridors!"
"They're supposed to be you blithering idiot!" shouted McGonagall"Now go and do something constructive! Find Peeves!"
'P-Peeves?" stammered Filch as though he had never heard the name before
"Yes, \iPeeves\i, you fool, \iPeeves!\i Haven't you been complaining about him for a quarter of a century? Go and fetch him, at once
Filch evidently thought Professor McGonagall had taken leave of her senses, but hobbled away, hunch-shouldered, muttering under his breath
"And now\a150\a150\iPiertotum Locomator!\i" cried Professor McGonagallAnd all along the corridor the statues and suits of armor jumped down from their plinths, and from the echoing crashes from the floors above and below, Harry knew that their fellows throughout the castle had done the same
"Hogwarts is threatened!" shouted Professor McGonagall"Man the boundaries, protect us, do your duty to our school!"
Clattering and dior yelling, the horde of moving statues stampeded past Harry, some of them smaller, others larger than lifeThere were animals too, and the clanking suits of armor brandished swords and spiked balls on chains
"Now, Potter," said McGonagall "you and Miss Lovegood had better return to your friends and bring them to the Great Hall \a150\a150 I shall rouse the other Gryffindors
They parted at the top of the next staircase, Harry and Luna turning back toward the concealed entrance to the Room of RequirementAs they ran, they met crowds of
students, most wearing traveling cloaks over their pajamas, being shepherded down to the Great Hall by teachers and prefects
"That was Potter!"
"\iHarry Potter!"\i
"It was him, I swear, I just saw him!"
"But Harry did not look back, and at last they reached the entrance to the Room of Requirement, Harry leaned against the enchanted wall, which opened to admit them, and he and Luna sped back down the steep staircase
"Wh\a150\a150?"
As the room came into view, Harry slipped down a few stairs in black balenciaga bag shoc
