He opened his eyes againHermione looked revolted, nauseated"Lupin said there would be magic we'd never imagined"She didn't want to talk in front of you, because it was Parseltongue, all Parseltongue, and I didn't realize, but of course I could understand herOnce we were up in the room, the snake sent a message to You-Know-Who, I heard it happen inside my head, I felt him get excited, he said to keep me there He remembered the snake coming out of Bathilda's neck: Hermione did not need to know the detailshe changed, changed into the snake, and attacked He looked down at the puncture marks"It wasn't supposed to kill me, just keep me there till You-Know-Who came If he had only managed to kill the snake, it would have been worth it, all of it Sick at heart, he sat up and threw back the covers"Harry, no, I'm sure you ought to rest!" "You're the one who needs sleepNo offense, but you look terribleI'll keep watch for a whileWhere's my wand?" She did not answer, she merely looked at him"Where's my wand, Hermione?" She was biting her lip, and tears swam in her eyes "Where's my wand?" She reached down beside the bed and held it out to him
The holly and phoenix wand was nearly severed in twoOne fragile strand of phoenix feather kept both pieces hanging togetherThe wood had splintered apart completelyHarry took it into his hands as though it was a living thing that had fake tiffany heart drop earrings suffered a terrible injuryHe could not think properly: Everything was a blur of panic and fearThen he held out the want to Hermione "Harry, I don't think, when it's broken like this \a150\a150" "Please, Hermione, try!" "R-Reparo The dangling half of the wand resealed itself"Lumos!" The wand sparked feebly, then went outHarry pointed it at Hermione"Expelliarmus!" Hermione's wand gave a little jerk, but did not leave her handThe feeble attempt at magic was too much for Harry's wand, which split into two againHe stared at it, aghast, unable to take in what he was seeing the wand that had survived so much Hermione whispered so quietly he could hardly hear herAs we were leaving, you know, the snake was coming for us, and so I cast a Blasting Curse, and it rebounded everywhere, and it must have \a150\a150 must have hit \a150\a150" "It was an accident said Harry mechanicallyHe felt empty, stunned"We'll \a150\a150 we'll find a way to repair it "Harry, I don't think we're going to be able to," said Hermione, the ears trickling down her faceremember Ron?

\bChapter Eighteen
\iThe Life and Lies of Albus Dumbledore\i\b
The sun was coming up: The pure, colorless vastness of the sky stretched over him, indifferent to him and his sufferingHarry sat down in the tent entrance and took a deep breath of clean airSimply to be alive to watch the sun rise over the sparkling snowy hillside ought to have been the greatest treasure on earth, yet he could not appreciate it: His senses had been spiked by the calamity of losing his wantHe looked out over a valley blanketed in snow, distant church bells chiming through the glittering silence
Without realizing it, he was digging his fingers into his arms as if he were trying to resist physical painHe had spilled his own blood more times than he could count; he had lost all bones in his right arm once; this journey had already given him scars to his chest and forearm to join those on his hand and forehead, but never, until this moment, had he felt himself to be fatally weakened, vulnerable, and naked, as though the best part of his magical power had been torn from himHe knew exactly what Hermione would say if he expressed any of this: The wand is only as good as the wizardBut she was wrong, his case was differentShe had not felt the wand spin like the needle of a compass and shoot golden flames at his chanel j12 watch enemyHe had lost the protection of the twin cores, and only now that it was gone did he realize how much he had been counting on it
He pulled the pieces of the broken wand out of his pocket and, without looking at them, tucked them away in Hagrid's pouch around his neckThe pouch was now too full of broken and useless objects to take any moreHarry's hand brushed the old Snitch through the mokeskin and for a moment he had to fight the temptation to pull it out and throw it awayImpenetrable, unhelpful, useless, like everything else Dumbledore had left behind \a150\a150-
And his fury at Dumbledore broke over him now like lava, scorching him inside, wiping out every other feelingOut of sheer desperation they had talked themselves into believing that Godric's Hollow held answers, convinced themselves that they were supposed to go back, that it was all part of some secret path laid out for them by Dumbledore: but there was no map, no planDumbledore had left them to grope in the darkness, to wrestle with unknown and undreamed-of terrors, alone and unaided: Nothing was explained, nothing was given freely, they had no sword, and now, Harry had no wandAnd he had dropped the photograph of the thief, and it would surely be easy now for Voldemort to find out who he was
Voldemort had all the information now
"Harry?"
Hermione looked frightened that he might curse her with her own wandHer face streaked with tears, she crouched down beside him, two cups of chanel body jewelry tea trembling in her hands and something bulky under her arm
"Thanks," he said, taking one of the cups
"Do you mind if I talk to you?"
"No," he said because he did not want to hurt her feelings
"Harry, you wanted to know who that man in the picture was
Timidly she pushed it onto his lap, a pristine copy of \iThe Life and Lies of Albus Dumbledore\i
"Where \a150\a150 how \a150\a150 ?"
"It was in Bathilda's sitting room, just lying thereThis note was sticking out of the top of it
Hermione read the few lines of spiky, acid-green writing aloud
" '\iDear Bally, Thanks for your helpHere's a copy of the book, hope you like itYou said everything, even if you don't remember iti' I think it must have arrived while the real Bathilda was alive, but perhaps she wasn't in any fit state to read it?"
"No, she probably wasn't
Harry looked down upon Dumbledore's face and experienced a surge of savage pleasure: Now he would know if all the things that Dumbledore had never thought it worth telling him, whether Dumbledore wanted him to or not
"You're still really angry at me, aren't you?" said Hermione; he looked up to see fresh tears leaking out of her eyes, and knew that his anger must have shown in his face
"No," he said quietly"No, Hermione, I know it was an accidentYou were trying to get us out of there alive, and you were incredibleI'd be dead if you hadn't been there to help me
He tried to return her watery smile, then turned his attention to the tiffany & co. heart necklace b
