Ernie lowered his voice mysteriously, the Hufflepuffs bent closer, and
Harry edged nearer so that he could catch Ernie"s words.
"No one knows how he survived that attack by You-Know-Who. I
mean to say, he was only a baby when it happened. He should have
been blasted into smithereens. Only a really powerful Dark wizard
could have survived a curse like that." He dropped his voice until it
was barely more than a whisper, and said, "That"s probably why You-
Know-Who wanted to kill him in the first place. Didn"t want another
Dark Lord competing with him. I wonder what other powers Potter"s
been hiding?"
Harry couldn"t take anymore. Clearing his throat loudly, he stepped out
from behind the bookshelves. If he hadn"t been feeling so angry, he
would have found the sight that greeted him funny: Every one of the
Hufflepuffs looked as though they had been Petrified by the sight of
him, and the color was draining out of Ernie"s face.
"Hello," said Harry. "I"m looking for Justin Finch-Fletchley."
The Hufflepuffs" worst fears had clearly been confirmed. They all
looked fearfully at Ernie.
"What do you want with him?" said Ernie in a quavering voice.
"I wanted to tell him what really happened with that snake at the
Dueling Club," said Harry.
Ernie bit his white lips and then, taking a deep breath, said, "We
were all there. We saw what happened."
"Then you noticed that after I spoke to it, the snake backed off?"
said Harry.
"All I saw," said Ernie stubbornly, though he was trembling as he
spoke, "was you speaking Parseltongue and chasing the snake
toward Justin. "
"I didn"t chase it at him!" Harry said, his voice shaking with anger. "It
didn"t even touch him!"
"It was a very near miss," said Ernie. "And in case you"re getting
ideas," he added hastily, "I might tell you that you can trace my
family back through nine generations of witches and warlocks and
my blood"s as pure as anyone"s, so -"
"I don"t care what sort of blood you"ve got!" said Harry fiercely.
"Why would I want to attack Muggle-borns?"
"I"ve heard you hate those Muggles you live with," said Ernie swiftly.
"It"s not possible to live with the Dursleys and not hate them," said
Harry. "Id like to see you try it."
He turned on his heel and stormed out of the library, earning himself
a reproving glare from Madam Pince, who was polishing the gilded
cover of a large spellbook.
Harry blundered up the corridor, barely noticing where he was going,
he was in such a fury. The result was that he walked into something
very large and solid, which knocked him backward onto the floor.
"Oh, hello, Hagrid," Harry said, looking up.
Hagrid"s face was entirely hidden by a woolly, snow-covered
balaclava, but it couldn"t possibly be anyone else, as he filled most of
the corridor in his moleskin overcoat. A dead rooster was hanging
from one of his massive, gloved hands.
"All righ", Harry?" he said, pulling up the balaclava so he could
speak. "Why aren"t yeh in class?"
"Canceled," said Harry, getting up. "What"re you doing in here?"
Hagrid held up the limp rooster.
"Second one killed this term," he explained. "It"s either foxes or a
Blood-Suckin Bugbear, an" I need the Headmaster"s permission ter
put a charm around the hen coop."
He peered more closely at Harry from under his thick, snow-flecked
eyebrows.
"Yeh sure yeh"re all righ"? Yeh look all hot an" bothered -"
Harry couldn"t bring himself to repeat what Ernie and the rest of the
Hufflepuffs had been saying about him.
"It"s nothing," he said. "Id better get going, Hagrid, it"s Transfiguration
next and I"ve got to pick up my books."
He walked off, his mind still full of what Ernie had said about him.
"Justin"s been waiting for something like this to happen ever since he
let slip to Potter he was Muggle-born ..."
Harry stamped up the stairs and turned along another corridor,
which was particularly dark; the torches had been extinguished by a
strong, icy draft that was blowing through a loose windowpane. He
was halfway down the passage when he tripped headlong over
something lying on the floor.
He turned to squint at what he"d fallen over and felt as though his
stomach had dissolved.
Justin Finch-Fletchley was lying on the floor, rigid and cold, a look of
shock frozen on his face, his eyes staring blankly at the ceiling. And
that wasn"t all. Next to him was another figure, the strangest sight
Harry had ever seen.
It was Nearly Headless Nick, no longer pearly-white and
transparent, but black and smoky, floating immobile and horizontal,
six inches off the floor. His head was half off and his face wore an
expression of shock identical to Justin"s.
Harry got to his feet, his breathing fast and shallow, his heart doing a
kind of drum-roll against his ribs. He looked wildly up and down the
deserted corridor and saw a line of spiders scuttling as fast as they
could away from the bodies. The only sounds were the muffled
voices of teachers from the classes on either side.
He could run, and no one would ever know he had been there. But
he couldn"t just leave them lying here ... He had to get help ...
Would anyone believe he hadn"t had anything to do with this?
