Thursday 24th May – 58 days

Chapter 20: The Dementor’s Kiss
In this chapter... As everybody makes their way to the castle, Sirius tells Harry he is his Godfather. When Sirius’s name is cleared, Harry is more than welcome to come and live with him…unless he’d like to stay with his Aunt and Uncle. Harry is overjoyed at this thought, and can’t remember feeling happier.
Suddenly, Lupin begins transforming into a werewolf. It is a full moon and he didn’t take his potion that evening. Sirius urges them all to escape, then turns into a dog, to protect them from Lupin. Pettigrew, while all this is happening, manages to turn back into his rat form and escapes to freedom.
Harry is terrified to find that Sirius has been surrounded by dementors. Harry tries to fend them off with the Patronus Chame but it isn’t strong enough. Just as one of them is about to kiss Harry and suck out his soul for good, someone jumps out of the bushes and repels them all away with a huge Patronus Charm. Harry feebly looks at him, and then passes out.

“Are you insane?” said Harry, his voice easily as croaky as Black’s. “Of course I want to leave the Dursleys! Have you got a house? When can I move in?”


Where does Professor Lupin hide when they get into Hogwarts grounds? Forbidden Forest

Chapter 21: Hermione’s Secret

In this chapter... Harry wakes up in the hospital wing. Hermione and Ron are there too. Harry learns from Cornelius Fudge that they have Sirius locked and that the dementors will be giving him a kiss any minute. Professor Snape is very vague about what happened in the Shieking Shack. He says that the Trio attacked him. Harry tries to tell Fudge of Sirius’s innocence and Pettirgrew’s betrayal, but Fudge won’t listen. When Professor Dumbledore shows up, the Trio has a spark of hope.
Professor Dumbledore forms a plan that will free more than one innocent life that evening. Harry learns how Hermione has been getting to all her lessons – she has been using a Time-Turner. A Time-Turner makes you turn back time. Harry and Hermione go back in times to three hours ago. Ron is still injured with his leg. Harry and Hermione rescue Buckbeak from his execution. Harry also saves himself from the dementors. He performs a magnificant Patronus Charm. Then Hermione and Harry fly Buckbeak to where Sirius is locked up. Sirius thanks them with all his heart and flies away into the night on Buckbeak’s back.

“I knew I could do it this time,” said Harry, “because I’d already done it…Does that make sense?”


On what floor does Professor Dumbledore tell Harry and Hermione that Professor Flitwick's office (where Sirius Black is being held) is on? Seventh

Chapter 22: Owl Post Again

In this chapter... Harry and Hermione just make it back into the hospital wing before the three hours are up. Fudge and Professor Snape are livid when they find out that Sirius escaped, but they certainly don’t suspect Harry and Hermione. They are sure that they never left their hospital beds.
The next day, Hagrid tells Harry, Ron and Hermione that Professor Lupin has resigned. It is not worth teaching at Hogwarts now that everybody knows he is a werewolf. Harry tries to pursuade Lupin to stay on but to no avail. However, Lupin gives him back his Invisability Cloak – it was left near the Whomping Willow – and, seeming he is no longer his teacher, the Maurauders Map back.
Harry discusses what he saw, when he preformed the Patronus Charm, with Professor Dumbledore. He was sure that it was his father – his patronus seems to be a stag – and Dumbledore says that ones that we love never really leave up. The spirit of James of Potter was around last night, in James. Harry tells Dumbledore, about how Professor Trelawnley made the prediction that the Dark Lord will rise again. Dumbledore is impressed – this seems to make two predictions that Professor Trelawnley had got right. And, says Professor Dumbledore, although Peter Pettigrew has probably returned to Lord Voldemort, one day Harry will be pleased that he spared Peter’s life. For now, Peter has a life debt to Harry.
Hermione tells Harry and Ron, on their way home, that she has dropped Muggle Studies. She realises she was doing to many lessons. They are all surprised when a small owl shows up outside their carraige window. It has a letter from Sirius. Sirius says that it was him that sent Harry the Firebolt, and he also encloses a signed permission form that will allow Harry to visit Hogsmeade next year. Sirius suggests that Ron can have the owl, since Scabbers is no longer his pet rat.
Harry is sad, to return to Privet Drive. However, Ron tells Harry that the Quidditch World Cup is this summer and that Harry might be able to go with him. Harry gets a last laugh when Uncle Vernon is shocked and frightened to learn Harry has an escaped prisoner as a godfather who will be checking in on Harry’s happiness.

“Professor Dumbledore – yesterday, when I was having my Divination exam, Professor Trelawney went very – very strange.”
“Indeed?” said Dumbledore. “Er – stranger than usual, you mean?”


What item, apart from the Marauder’s Map, does Professor Lupin hand to Harry before leaving? Harry’s Invisibility Cloak
