nd；　Selwyn；　give　me　your　wand！〃i
He　felt　Voldemort　before　he　saw　him。　Looking　sideways；　he　stared　into　the　red　eyes　and　was　sure　they　would　be　the　last　thing　he　ever　saw：　Voldemort　preparing　to　curse　him　once　more　…
And　then　Voldemort　vanished。　Harry　looked　down　and　saw　Hagrid　spread…eagled　on　the　ground　below　him。　He　pulled　hard　at　the　handlebars　to　avoid　hitting　him；　groped　for　the　brake；　but　with　an　earsplitting；　ground　trembling　crash；　he　smashed　into　a　muddy　pond。

〃Hagrid？〃
Harry　struggled　to　raise　himself　out　of　the　debris　of　metal　and　leather　that　surrounded　him；　his　hands　sank　into　inches　of　muddy　water　as　he　tried　to　stand。　He　could　not　understand　where　Voldemort　had　gone　and　expected　him　to　swoop　out　of　the　darkness　at　any　moment。　Something　hot　and　wet　was　trickling　down　his　chin　and　from　his　forehead。　He　crawled　out　of　the　pond　and　stumbled　toward　the　great　dark　mass　on　the　ground　that　was　Hagrid。
〃Hagrid？　Hagrid；　talk　to　me　…〃
But　the　dark　mass　did　not　stir。
〃Who's　there？　Is　it　Potter？　Are　you　Harry　Potter？〃
Harry　did　not　recognize　the　man's　voice。　Then　a　woman　shouted。　〃They've　crashed。　Ted！　Crashed　in　the　garden！〃
Harry's　head　was　swimming。
〃Hagrid；〃　he　repeated　stupidly；　and　his　knees　buckled。
The　next　thing　he　knew；　he　was　lying　on　his　back　on　what　felt　like　cushions；　with　a　burning　sensation　in　his　ribs　and　right　arm。　His　missing　tooth　had　been　regrown。　The　scar　on　his　forehead　was　still　throbbing。
〃Hagrid？〃
He　opened　his　eyes　and　saw　that　he　was　lying　on　a　sofa　in　an　unfamiliar；　lamplit　sitting　room。　His　rucksack　lay　on　the　floor　a　short　distance　away；　wet　and　muddy。　A　fair…haired；　big…bellied　man　was　watching　Harry　anxiously。
〃Hagrid's　fine；　son；〃　said　the　man；　〃the　wife's　seeing　to　him　now。　How　are　you　feeling？　Anything　else　broken？　I've　fixed　your　ribs；　your　tooth；　and　your　arm。　I'm　Ted；　by　the　way；　Ted　Tonks　…　Dora's　father。〃
Harry　sat　up　too　quickly。　Lights　popped　in　front　of　his　eyes　and　he　felt　sick　and　giddy。
〃Voldemort　…〃
〃Easy；　now；〃　said　Ted　Tonks；　placing　a　hand　on　Harry's　shoulder　and　pushing　him　back　against　the　cushions。　〃That　was　a　nasty　crash　you　just　had。　What　happened；　anyway？　Something　go　wrong　with　the　bike？　Arthur　Weasley　overstretch　himself　again；　him　and　his　Muggle　contraptions？〃
〃No；〃　said　Harry；　as　his　scar　pulsed　like　an　open　wound。　〃Death　Eaters；　loads　of　them　…　we　were　chased　…〃
〃Death　Eaters？〃　said　Ted　sharply。　〃What　d'you　mean；　Death　Eaters？　I　thought　they　didn't　know　you　were　being　moved　tonight；　I　thought　…〃
〃They　knew；〃　said　Harry。
Ted　Tonks　looked　up　at　the　ceiling　as　though　he　could　see　through　it　to　the　sky　above。
〃Well；　we　know　our　protective　charms　hold；　then；　don't　we？　They　shouldn't　be　able　to　get　within　a　hundred　yards　of　the　place　in　any　direction。〃
Now　Harry　understood　why　Voldemort　had　vanished；　it　had　been　at　the　point　when　the　motorbike　crossed　the　barrier　of　the　Order's　charms。　He　only　hoped　they　would　continue　to　work：　He　imagined　Voldemort；　a　hundred　yards　above　them　as　they　spoke；　looking　for　a　way　to　penetrate　what　Harry　visualized　as　a　great　transparent　bubble。
He　swung　his　legs　off　the　sofa；　he　needed　to　see　Hagrid　with　his　own　eyes　before　he　would　believe　that　he　was　alive。　He　had　barely　stood　up；　however；　when　a　door　opened　and　Hagrid　squeezed　through　it；　his　face　covered　in　mud　and　blood；　limping　a　little　but　miraculously　alive。
〃Harry！〃
Knocking　over　two　delicate　tables　and　an　aspidistra；　he　covered　the　floor　between　them　in　two　strides　and　pulled　Harry　into　a　hug　that　nearly　cracked　his　newly　repaired　ribs。　〃Blimey；　Harry；　how　did　yeh　get　out　o'　that？　I　thought　we　were　both　goners。〃
〃Yeah；　me　too。　I　can't　believe　…〃
Harry　broke　off。　He　had　just　noticed　the　woman　who　had　entered　the　room　behind　Hagrid。
〃You！〃　he　shouted；　and　he　thrust　his　hand　into　his　pocket；　but　it　was　empty。
〃Your　wand's　here；　son；〃　said　Ted；　tapping　it　on　Harry's　arm。　〃It　fell　right　beside　you；　I　picked　it　upa133And　that's　my　wife　you're　shouting　at。〃
〃Oh；　I'm　…　I'm　sorry。〃
As　she　moved　forward　into　the　room；　Mrs。　Tonks's　resemblance　to　her　sister　Bellatrix　became　much　less　pronounced：　Her　hair　was　a　light's　oft　brown　and　her　eyes　were　wider　and　kinder。　Nevertheless；　she　looked　a　little　haughty　after　Harry's　exclamation。
〃What　happened　to　our　daughter？〃　she　asked。　〃Hagrid　said　you　were　ambushed；　where　is　Nymphadora？〃
〃I　don't　know；〃　said　Harry。　〃We　don't　know　what　happened　to　anyone　else。〃
She　and　Ted　exchanged　looks。　A　mixture　of　fear　and　guilt　gripped　Harry　at　the　sight　of　their　expressions；　if　any　of　the　others　had　died；　it　was　his　fault；　all　his　fault。　He　had　consented　to　the　plan；　given　them　his　hair　。　。　。
〃The　Portkey；〃　he　said；　remembering　all　of　a　sudden。　〃We've　got　to　get　back　to　the　Burrow　and　find　out　…　then　we'll　be　able　to　send　you　word；　or　…　or　Tonks　will；　once　she's　…〃
〃Dora'll　be　ok；　'Dromeda；〃　said　Ted。　〃She　knows　her　stuff；　she's　been　in　plenty　of　tight　spots　with　the　Aurors。　The　Portkey's　through　here；〃　he　added　to　Harry。　〃It's　supposed　to　leave　in　three　minutes；　if　you　want　to　take　it。〃
〃Yeah；　we　do；〃　said　Harry。　He　seized　his　rucksack；　swung　it　onto　his　shoulders。　〃I　…〃
He　looked　at　Mrs。　Tonks；　wanting　to　apologize　for　the　state　of　fear　in　which　he　left　her　and　for　which　he　felt　so　terribly　responsible；　but　no　words　occurred　to　him　that　he　did　not　seem　hollow　and　insincere。
〃I'll　tell　Tonks　…　Dora　…　to　send　word；　when　she　。　。　。　Thanks　for　patching　us　up；　thanks　for　everything；　I　…〃
He　was　glad　to　leave　the　room　and　follow　Ted　Tonks　along　a　short　hallway　and　into　a　bedroom。　Hagrid　came　after　them；　bending　low　to　avoid　hitting　his　head　on　the　door　lintel。
〃There　you　go；　son。　That's　the　Portkey。〃
Mr。　Tonks　was　pointing　to　a　small；　silver…backed　hairbrush　lying　on　the　dressing　table。
〃Thanks；〃　said　Harry；　reaching　out　to　place　a　finger　on　it；　ready　to　leave。
〃Wait　a　moment；〃　said　Hagrid；　looking　around。　〃Harry；　where's　Hedwig？〃
〃She　。　。　。　she　got　hit；〃　said　Harry。
The　realization　crashed　over　him：　He　felt　ashamed　of　himself　as　the　tears　stung　his　eyes。　The　owl　had　been　his　companion；　his　one　great　link　with　the　magical　world　whenever　he　had　been　forced　to　return　to　the　Dursleys。
Hagrid　reached　out　a　great　hand　and　patted　him　painfully　on　the　shoulder。
〃Never　mind；〃　he　said　gruffly；　〃Never　mind。　She　had　a　great　old　life　…〃
〃Hagrid！〃　said　Ted　Tonks　warningly；　as　the　hairbrush　glowed　bright　blue；　and　Hagrid　only　just　got　his　forefinger　to　it　in　time。
With　a　jerk　behind　the　navel　as　though　an　invisible　hook　and　line　had　dragged　him　forward；　Harry　was　pulled　into　nothingness；　spinning　uncontrollably；　his　finger　glued　to　the　Portkey　as　he　and　Hagrid　hurtled　away　from　Mr。　Tonks。　Second　later；　Harry's　feet　slammed　onto　hard　ground　and　he　fell　onto　his　hands　and　knees　in　the　yard　of　the　Burrow。　He　heard　screams。　Throwing　aside　the　no　longer　glowing　hairbrush；　Harry　stood　up；　swaying　slightly；　and　saw　Mrs。　Weasley　and　Ginny　running　down　the　steps　by　the　back　door　as　Hagrid；　who　had　also　collapsed　on　landing；　clambered　laboriously　to　his　feet。
〃Harry？　You　are　the　real　Harry？　What　happened？　Where　are　the　others？〃　cried　Mrs。　Weasley。
〃What　d'you　mean？　Isn't　anyone　else　back？〃　Harry　panted。
The　answer　was　clearly　etched　in　Mrs。　Weasley's　pale　face。
〃The　Death　Eaters　were　waiting　for　us；〃　Harry　told　her；　〃We　were　surrounded　the　moment　we　took　off　…　they　knew　it　was　tonight　…　I　don't　know　what　happened　to　anyone
else；　four　of　them　chased　us；　it　was　all　we　could　do　to　get　away；　and　then　Voldemort　caught　up　with　us　…〃
He　could　hear　the　self…justifying　note　in　his　voice；　the　plea　for　her　to　understand　why　he　did　not　know　what　had　happened　to　her　sons；　but　…
〃Thank　goodness　you're　all　right；〃　she　said；　pulling　him　into　a　hug　he　did　not　feel　he　deserved。
〃Haven't　go'　any　brandy；　have　yeh；　Molly？〃　asked　Hagrid　a　little　shakily；　〃Fer　medicinal　purposes？〃
She　could　have　summoned　it　by　magic；　but　as　she　hurried　back　toward　the　crooked　house；　Harry　knew　that　she　wanted　to　hide　her　face。　He　turned　to　Ginny　and　she　answered　his　unspoken　plea　for　information　at　once。
〃Ron　and　Tonks　should　have　been　back　first；　but　they　missed　their　Portkey；　it　came　back　without　them；〃　she　said；　pointing　at　a　rusty　oil　can　lying　on　the　ground　nearby。　〃And　that　one；〃　she　pointed　at　an　ancient　sneaker；　〃should　have　been　Dad　and　Fred's；　they　were　supposed　to　be　second。　You　and　Hagrid　were　third　and；〃　she　checked　her　watch；　〃if　they　made　it；　George　and　Lupin　aught　to　be　back　in　about　a　minute。〃
Mrs。　Weasley　reappeared　carrying　a　bottle　of　brandy；　which　she　handed　to　Hagrid。　He　uncorked　it　and　drank　it　straight　down　in　one。
〃Mum！〃　shouted　Ginny　pointing　to　a　spot　several　feet　away。
A　blue　light　had　appeared　in　the　darkness：　It　grew　larger　and　brighter；　and　Lupin　and　George　appeared；　spinning　and　then　falling。　Harry　knew　immediately　that　there　was　something　wrong：　Lupin　was　supporting　George；　who　was　unconscious　and　whose　face　was　covered　in　blood。
Harry　ran　forward　and　seized　George's　legs。　Together；　he　and　Lupin　carried　George　into　the　house　and　through　the　kitchen　to　the　living　room；　where　they　laid　him　on　the　sofa。　As　the　lamplight　fell　across　George's　head；　Ginny　gasped　and　Harry's　stomach　lurched：　One　of　George's　ears　was　missing。　The　side　of　his　head　and　neck　were　drenched　in　wet；　shockingly　scarlet　blood。
No　sooner　had　Mrs。　Weasley　bent　over　her　son　that　Lupin　grabbed　Harry　by　the　upper　arm　and　dragged　him；　none　too　gently；　back　into　the　kitchen；　where　Hagrid　was　still　attempting　to　ease　his　bulk　through　the　back　door。
〃Oi！〃　said　Hagrid　indignantly；　〃Le'　go　of　him！　Le'　go　of　Harry！〃
Lupin　ignored　him。
〃What　creature　sat　in　the　corner　the　first　time　that　Harry　Potter　visited　my　office　at　Hogwarts？〃　he　said；　giving　Harry　a　small　shake。　〃Answer　me！〃
〃A　…　a　grindylow　in　a　tank；　wasn't　it？〃
Lupin　released　Harry　and　fell　back　against　a　kitchen　cupboard。
〃Wha'　was　tha'　about？〃　roared　Hagrid。
〃I'm　sorry；　Harry；　but　I　had　to　check；〃　said　Lupin　tersely。　〃We've　been　betrayed。　Voldemort　knew　that　you　were　being　moved　tonight　and　the　only　people　who　could　have　told　him　were　directly　involved　in　the　plan。　You　might　have　been　an　impostor。〃
〃So　why　aren'　you　checkin'　me？〃　panted　Hagrid；　st
