ron, full of turkey ah nothio
bother him, fell asleep almost as soon as he'd drawains
of his four-poster. harry leahe side of his own bed and
pulled the u.
his father's... this had been his father's. he let the material
flow over his hands, smoother than silk, light as air. use it well,
the note had said.
he had to try it, now. he slipped out of bed ahe
self. looking down at his legs, he saw only moonlight
and shadows. it was a very funny feeling.
use it well.
suddenly, harry felt wide-awake. the whole of hogwarts was
open to him in this cloak. ext flh him as he
stood there in the dark and silence. he could go ahis,
anywhere, and filever know.
ron grunted in his sleep. should harry wake him? something
held him back -- his father's cloak -- he felt that this time --
the first time -- he wao use it alone.
he crept out of the dormitory, dowairs, across the
, ahrough the portrait hole.
”who's there?” squawked the fat lady. harry said nothing. he
walked qui the corridor.
where should he go? he stopped, his heart rad
thought. a . the restricted se the
library. he'd be able to read as long as he liked, as long as it
took to find out who flamel was. he set the invisibility
cloak tight around him as he walked.
the library itch-blad very eerie. harry lit a lamp
to see his way along the rows of books. the lamp looked as if it
was floating along in midair, ahough harry could feel his
arm supp it, the sight gave him the creeps.
the restricted se was right at the back of the library. step
ping carefully over the rope that separated these books from the
rest of the library, he held up his lamp to read the titles.
they didn't tell him much. their peeling, faded gold letters
spelled words in languages harry 't uand. some had no
title at all. one book had a dark stain on it that looked horribly
like blood. the hairs on the back of harry's neck prickled. maybe
he was imagining it, maybe not, but he thought a faint whispering
was the books, as though they khere
who shouldn't be.
he had to start somewhere. setting the lamp down carefully on the
floor, he looked aloom shelf for ainglooking
be blad silver volume caught his eye. he pulled it
out with difficulty, because it was very heavy, and, balang it
o fall open.
a pierg, bl shriek split the silehe book
was sg! harry s, but the shriek went on and
on, one high, uiumbled backward
and knocked over his lamp, whit out at onig, he
heard footsteps ing down the corridor outside -- stuffing the
shrieking book ba the shelf, he ran for it. he passed fil
the doorway; filch's pale, wild eyes lht through him,
and harry slipped under filch's outstretched arm and streaked off
up the corridor, the book's shrieks still ringing in his ears.
he came to a sudden halt in front of a tall suit of armor. he
had been so busy getting away from the library, he hadn't paid
attention to where he was going. perhaps because it was dark, he
didn't reize where he was at all. there was a suit of armor
s, he k he must be five floors above there.
”you asked me to e directly to you, professor, if anyone
was wandering around at night, and somebody's been in the library
restricted se.”
harry felt the blood drain out of his face. wherever he was,
filow a shortcut, because his soft, greasy voice was
gettio his horror, it e who replied,
”the restricted se? well, they 't be far, we'll catch them.”
harry stood rooted to the spot as filape d
the er ahead. they 't see him, of course, but it was a
narrow corridor and if they came muearer they'd knht
into him -- the 't st solid.
he backed away as quietly as he could. a door stood ajar to
his left. it was his only hope. he squeezed through it, holding
