Harry’s lips were cold and numb.
“So… when I asked Kreacher if Sirius was there last night…”
“The Malfoys—undoubtedly on Voldemort’s instructions—had told him he must find a way of keeping Sirius out of the way once you had seen the vision of Sirius being tortured. Then, if you decided to check whether Sirius was at home or not, Kreacher would be able to pretend he was not. Kreacher injured Buckbeak the Hippogriff yesterday, and, at the moment when you made your appearance in the fire, Sirius was upstairs tending to him.”

A chill that had nothing to do with the iced champagne was stealing through Harry’s chest. A vivid image of the shrieking, spitting portrait of Sirius’s mother that hung in the hall of number twelve, Grimmauld Place flashed into Harry’s mind. “I bet there has,” he said. A whistling in Harry’s ear told him the Bludger had just missed him again; he turned right over and sped in the opposite direction. After a few minutes’ progress up the dark tunnel, a distant sound of slowly shifting rock reached Harry’s ears. And Harry’s feet left the floor to fall, seconds later, back onto the rug in front of Dumbledore’s desk. And something vast, green, and glittering erupted from the patch of darkness Harry’s eyes had been struggling to penetrate; it flew up over the treetops and into the sky. And to Harry’s horror, a voice answered, and the voice seemed to come from Quirrell himself. And to Harry’s horror, she withdrew from her pocket the list of names that had been pinned upon the Room of Requirement’s wall and handed it to Fudge. And to Harry’s horror, Slughorn threw out an arm and seemed to scoop Snape out of thin air toward them. And when the creature spoke, it used Harry’s mouth, so that in his agony he felt his jaw move. And with a last smile and shake of Harry’s hand, Fudge left the room. Tom now moved forward, beaming at Harry. Applause shattered the wintery air like breaking glass; Krum had finished—it would be Harry’s turn any moment.
