Tuesday 26th June – 25 days

Chapter 21: The Eye Of The Snake
In this chapter... Hagrid teaches the Gryffindors and the Slytherins about Thestrals – those peculiar skeletal horses that pulled the carriages, at the beginning of the school year. Only people who have seen death can see them. Neville can see them too – as well as a Slytherin boy. Professor Umbridge inspects the lesson, and it does not go well. Harry is going to stay at The Burrow, with the Weasley family for Christmas.
Christmas approaches, and Ron’s and Harry’s homework reaches epic proportions. Harry holds the last D.A. meeting, before the Christmas break, and gets his first kiss from Cho, Cho admits that she is still missing Cedric. Harry goes to bed, feeling happt after Cho’s kiss. Then he has a terrible vision of himself being inside a giant snake, as he sleep. He sees the snake attacking Mr Weasley. When he wakes up, he is frantic. Professor McGonagall is called for – she takes Harry and Ron to Professor Dumbledore’s office.

“Mistletoe,” said Luna dreamily, pointing at a large clump of white berries placed almost over Harry’s head. He jumped out from under it. “Good thinking,” said Luna very seriously. “It’s often infested with nargles.”


Who is Hermione writing to in the Gryffindor common room? Viktor Krum


Chapter 22: St. Mungo's Hospital For Magical Maladies And Injuries
In this chapter... Harry tells Professor Dumbledore what he “dreamt”, or what he saw. Professor Dumbledore is still not looking at Harry directly. Dumbledore sends portraits of an old Headmaster and Headmistress – who have portraits in other magical wizarding places – to find out what has happened to Mr Weasley and how injured he is. A portrait says that Arthur has been taken to S. Mungo’s hospital. Professor Dumbledore sends Harry, Ron, Ginny and the Twins to Grimmauld Place, to wait with Sirius, and wait for news. Mrs Weasley will go straight to the hospital.
The Weasleys do not like waiting at Grimmauld place, but finally, Mrs Weasley arrives with news. Mr Weasley is going to be all right. They all go to bed – Harry can not sleep, he is frightened that he might attack someone again. The next day, they all go to St Mungo’s – not Sirius, but Tonks and Mad Eye Moody accompany them. Mrs. Weasley comes in smiling, saying that he's going to be all right. Harry hears Mad Eye and Tonks speculating that Voldemort is possessing Harry.

A very old, stooped wizard with a hearing trumpet had shuffled to the front of the queue now.
“I’m here to see Broderick Bode!” he wheezed.
“Ward forty-nine, but I’m afraid you’re wasting your time,” said the witch dismissively. “He’s completely addled, you know – he thinks he’s a teapot. Next!”


What is the name of the witch that Professor Dumbledore addresses to a portrait? Dilys Derwent
