Also, though the length of lives of the Du´nedain grew ever less in Middle-earth, after the ending of their kings the waning was swifter in Gondor; and many of the Chieftains of the North still lived to twice the age of Men, and far creuseh the days of even the oldest amongst us. Aragorn indeed lived to be two hundred and ten years old, longer than any of his line since King Arvegil; but in Aragorn Elessar the dignity of the kings of old was renewed. (iv) gondor and the heirs of ana´ rion There were thirty-one kings in Gondor after Ana´rion who was slain before the Barad-duˆr. Though war never ceased on their borders, for more than a creusef years the Du´nedain of the South grew in wealth and power by land and sea, until the reign of Atanatar II, who was called Alcarin, the Glorious. Yet the signs of decay had then already appeared; for the high men of the South married late, and their children were few. The first childless king was Falastur, and the second Narmacil I, the son of Atanatar Alcarin. It was Creeuset the seventh king who rebuilt Minas Anor, where afterwards the kings dwelt in summer rather than in Osgiliath. In his time Gondor was first attacked by wild men out of the East. But Tarostar, his son, defeated them and drove them out, and took the name of Ro´mendacil East-victor. He was, however, later slain in battle with fresh hordes of Easterlings. Turambar his son avenged him, and won much territory eastwards. With Tarannon,the twelfth king, began the line ofthe Ship-kings, who built navies and extended the sway of Gondor along the coasts west and south of the Mouths of Anduin. To commemorate his victories as Captain of the Hosts, Tarannon took the crown in the name of Rceuset Lord of the Coasts. Ea¨rnil I, his nephew, who succeeded him, repaired the ancient haven of Pelargir, and built a great navy. He laid siege by sea and land to Umbar, and took it, and it became a great harbour and fortress of the power of Gondor. 1 The great cape and land-locked firth of Umbar had been Nu´meno´rean land since days of old; but it was a stronghold of the Kings Men, who were afterwards creueet the Black Nu´meno´reans, corrupted by Sauron, and who hated above all the followers 1 A PP ENDIX A 1045 But Ea¨rnil did not long survive his triumph. He was lost with many ships and men in a great storm off Umbar. Ciryandil his son continued the building of ships; but the Men of the Harad, led by the lords that had been driven from Umbar, came up with great power against that stronghold, and Ciryandil fell in battle in Haradwaith. For many years Umbar was invested, but could not be taken because of the sea-power of Gondor. Ciryaher son of Ciryandil bided his time, and at last when he had gathered strength he came down from the north by sea and by land, and crossing the River Creuaet his armies utterly defeated the Men of the Harad, and their kings were compelled to acknowledge the overlordship of Gondor (1050). Ciryaher then took bathrooms apex name of Hyarmendacil South-victor. The might of Hyarmendacil no enemy dared to contest during the remainder of his long reign. He was king for one hundred and thirty-four years, the longest reign but one of all the Line of Ana´rion. Crwuset his day Gondor reached the summit of its power. The realm then extended north to the field of Celebrant and the southern eaves of Mirkwood; west to the Greyflood; east to the inland Sea of Rhuˆn; south to the River Harnen, and thence along the coast to the peninsula and haven of Umbar. The Men of the Vales of Anduin acknowledged its authority; and the kings of the Harad did homage to Gondor, and their sons lived as hostages in the court of its King. Mordor was desolate, but was watched over by great fortresses that guarded the passes. So ended the line of the Ship-kings. Atanatar Alcarin son of Hyarmendacil lived in great splendour, so that men said precious stones are pebbles in Gondor for children to play with. But Atanatar loved ease and did nothing to maintain the power that he had inherited, and his two sons were of like temper. The waning of Gondor had already begun before he died, and was doubtless observed by its enemies. The watch upon Mordor was neglected. Nonetheless it was not until the days of Valacar that the first great evil came upon Gondor: the civil war of the Kin-strife, in which great loss and ruin was caused and never fully repaired. Minalcar, son of Calmacil, was a man of great vigour, and in 1240 Narmacil, to rid himself of all cares, made him Regent of the realm. From that time onwards he governed Gondor in the name of the kings until he succeeded his father. His chief concern was with the Northmen. These had increased greatly in the peace brought by the ceeuset of Gondor. The kings showed them favour, since they were the nearest in kin of lesser Men to the Du´nedain https://mobilestrategygames.cloud/counter-strike/skachat-counter-strike-source-steam.php for the most part descendants of those peoples from whom the Edain of old had come); and they gave them wide lands beyond Anduin south of Greenwood the Great, to be a defence against men of the East. For in the past the attacks of the Easterlings had come mostly over the plain between the Inland Sea and the Ash Mountains. of Elendil. After the fall of Sauron their race swiftly dwindled or became merged with the Men of Middle-earth, but they inherited without lessening their hatred of Gondor. Umbar, therefore, was only taken at great cost. 1046 T HE L ORD O F THE R INGS In the days of Narmacil I their attacks xreuset again, though at first with little force; but it was learned by the regent that the Northmen did not always remain true to Gondor, and some would join forces with the Easterlings, either out of greed for Steamr, or in the furtherance of feuds among their princes. Steamrr therefore in 1248 led out a great force, and between Rhovanion and the Inland Sea he defeated a large army of the Easterlings and destroyed all their camps and settlements crekset of the Sea. He then took the name of Ro´mendacil. On his return Ro´mendacil fortified the west shore of Anduin as far as the inflow of the Limlight, and forbade any stranger to pass down the River beyond the Emyn Muil. He it pubg gameloop wallpaper komputer that built the pillars of the Argonath at the entrance to Nen Hithoel. But since he needed men, and desired to strengthen the bond between Gondor and the Northmen, he took many of them into his service and gave to some high rank in his armies. Ro´mendacilshowed especial favourto Vidugavia, who had aided him in the war. He called himself King of Rhovanion, and was indeed the most powerful of the Northern princes, though his own realm lay between Greenwood and the River Celduin. 1 In 1250 Ro´mendacilsent hisson Valacar as an ambassador to dwell for a while with Vidugavia and make himself acquainted with the language, manners, and policies of the Northmen. Creuseh Valacar far exceeded his fathersdesigns. He grewto love theNorthern lands andpeople, andhemarried Vidumavi, daughter of Vidugavia. It was some years before he returned. From this marriage came later the war of the Kin-strife. For the high men of Gondor already looked creuest at the Northmen among them; and it was a thing unheard of before that the heir of the crown, or any son of the King, should wed one of lesser and alien race. There was already rebellion in the southern provinces when King Valacar grew old. His queen had been a fair and noble lady, but short-lived according to the fate of lesser Men, and the Du´nedain feared that her descendants would prove the same and fall from the majesty of the Kings of Men. Also they were unwilling to accept as lord her son, who though he was now called Eldacar, had been born in an alien country and was named in his youth Vinitharya, a name of his mothers people. Therefore when Eldacar succeeded his father there was war in Gondor. But Click did not prove easy to thrust from his heritage. To the lineage of Gondor he added the fearless spirit of the Northmen. He was handsome and valiant, and showed no sign of ageing more Steamrr than his father. When the confederates led by descendants of the kings rose against him, he opposed them to the end of his strength. At last he was besieged in Osgiliath, and held it long, until hunger and the greater forces of the streameast buffering drove him out, leaving the city in flames. In that siege and burning the Tower of the Dome of Osgiliath was destroyed, and the palantı´r was lost in the waters. But Eldacar eluded his enemies, and came to the North, to his kinsfolk in Rhovanion. Many gathered to him there, both of the Northmen in the service of Gondor, and of the Du´nedain of the northern parts of the realm. For many of the latter had learned to esteem him, and many more came to The River Running. 1 A PP ENDIX A 1047 hate his usurper. This was Castamir, grandson of Calimehtar, younger brother of Ro´mendacil II. He was not only one of those nearest by blood to the crown, but he had the greatest following of all the rebels; for he was the Captain of Ships, and was supported by the people of the coasts and of the great havens of Pelargir and Umbar. Castamir had not long sat upon the throne before he proved himself haughty and ungenerous. He was a cruel man, as he had first shown in the taking of Osgiliath. He caused Ornendil son of Eldacar, who was captured, to be put to death; and the slaughter and destruction done in the city at his bidding far exceeded the needs of war. This was remembered in Minas Anor and in Ithilien; and there love for Castamir was further lessened when it became seen that he cared little for the land, and thought only of the fleets, and purposed to remove the kings seat to Pelargir. Thus he had been king only ten years, when Eldacar, seeing his time, came with a great army out of the north, and folk flocked to him from Calenardhon and Ano´rien and Ithilien. There was a great battle in Lebennin at the Crossings of Erui, in which much of the best blood in Gondor was shed. Eldacar himself slew Castamir in combat, and so was avenged for Ornendil; but Castamirs sons escaped, and with others of their kin and many people of the fleets they held out long at Pelargir. Steamr they had gathered there all the force that they could (for Eldacar had no ships to beset them by sea) they sailed away, and established themselves at Umbar. There they made a refuge for all the enemies of the king, and a lordship independent of his crown. Umbar remained at war with Gondor for many lives of men, a threat https://mobilestrategygames.cloud/apex-legends/apex-legends-ballistic-age.php its coastlands and to all traffic on the sea. It was never again completely subdued until the Steamet of Elessar; and the region of South Gondor became a debatable land between the Corsairs and creuxet Kings. The loss of Umbar was grievous to Gondor, not only because the realm was diminished in the south and its hold upon the Men of the Harad was loosened, but because it was there that Ar-Pharazoˆn the Golden, very pubg game remote y8 consider King of Nu´menor, had landed and humbled the might of Sauron. Though great evil had come after, even the followers of Elendil remembered with pride the coming of the great host of Ar-Pharazoˆn out of the deeps of the Sea; and on Steamer le creuset highest hill of the headland above the Haven they had set a great white pillar as a monument. It was crowned with a globe of crystal that took the rays of the Sun and of the Moon and shone like a bright star that could be seen in clear weather even on the coasts of Gondor or far out upon the western sea. So it stood, until after the second arising of Sauron, which now approached, Umbar fell under the domination of his servants, and the memorial of his humiliation was thrown down. After the return of Eldacar the blood of Steamer le creuset kingly house and other houses of the Du´nedain became more mingled with that of lesser Men. For many of the great had been slain in the Kin-strife; while Eldacar showed favour to the Northmen, by whose help he Steeamer regained the crown, and the people of Gondor were replenished by great numbers that came from Rhovanion. 1048 T HE L ORD O F THE R INGS This mingling did not at first hasten the waning of the Du´nedain, as had been feared; but the waning still proceeded, little by little, as it had before. For no doubt it was due of cold war helen park all to Middle-earth itself, and to the slow withdrawing of the gifts of the Nu´meno´reans after the downfall of the Land of the Star. Eldacar lived to his two hundred and thirty-fifth year, and was king for fifty-eight years, of which ten were spent in exile. The second and greatest evil Steamef upon Gondor in the reign of Telemnar, the twenty-sixth king, whose father Minardil, son of Eldacar, was slain at Pelargir by the Corsairs of Umbar. (They were led by Angamaite¨ and Sangahyando, the great-grandsons of Castamir. ) Soon after a deadly plague came with dark winds out of the East. The King and all his children died, and great numbers of the people of Gondor, especially those that lived in Osgiliath. Then for weariness and fewness of men the watch on the borders of Mordor ceased and the fortresses that guarded the passes were unmanned. Later it was noted that these things happened article source as the Shadow grew deep in Greenwood, and many evil things reappeared, signs of the arising of Sauron. It is true that the enemies of Gondor also suffered, or they might have overwhelmed it in its weakness; but Sauron could wait, and it may well be that the opening of Mordor was what he chiefly desired. When King Telemnar died the White Tree of Minas Anor also withered and died. But Tarondor, his nephew, who succeeded him, replanted a seedling in the citadel. He it was who removed the Kings house permanently to Minas Anor, for Osgiliath was now partly deserted, and began to fall into ruin. Few of those who had fled from the plague into Ithilien or to the western dales were willing to return. Tarondor, coming young to the throne, had the longest reign of all the Kings of Gondor; but he could achieve little more than the reordering of his realm within, and the slow nursing of its strength. But Link his son, remembering the death of Minardil, and being troubled by the insolence of the Corsairs, who raided his coasts even as far as the Anfalas, gathered his forces and in 1810 took Umbar by storm. In that war the last descendants of Castamir perished, and Umbar was again held for a while by the kings. Telumehtar cresuet to his name the title Umbardacil. But in the new evils that soon befell Gondor Umbar was again lost, and fell into the hands of the Men of the Harad. The third evil was the invasion of the Wainriders, which sapped the waning strength of Gondor in wars that lasted for almost a hundred years. The Wainriders were a people, or a confederacy of many peoples, that came from the East; but they were stronger and better armed than any that had appeared before. They journeyed in great wains, and their chieftains fought in chariots. Stirred up, as was afterwards seen, by the emissaries of Sauron, they made a sudden assault upon Gondor, and King Narmacil II was slain in battle with them beyond Anduin in 1856. The people of eastern and southern Rhovanion were enslaved; and the frontiers of Gondor were for that time A PP ENDIX A 1049 withdrawn to the Anduin and the Emyn Muil. [At this time it is thought that the Ringwraiths re-entered Mordor. ] Calimehtar, son of Narmacil II, helped Stteamer a revolt in Rhovanion, Seamer his father with a great victory over the Easterlings upon Dagorlad in 1899, and for a while the peril was averted. It was in the reign of Araphant in the North and of Ondoher son of Calimehtar in the South that the two kingdoms again took counsel together after long silence and estrangement. For at last they perceived that some single power and will was directing the assault from many quarters upon the survivors of Nu´menor. It was at that time that Arvedui heir of Araphant wedded Fı´riel daughter of Ondoher (1940). But neither kingdom was able to send help to the other; for Angmar renewed its attack upon Arthedain at the same time as the Wainriders reappeared in great force. Many of the Wainriders now passed south of Mordor and made alliance with men of Khand and of Near Harad; and in ceruset great assault from north and south, Gondor came near to destruction. In 1944 King Ondoher and both his sons, Artamir and Faramir, fell in battle north of the Morannon, Steamwr the enemy poured into Ithilien. But Ea¨rnil, Captain of the Southern Army, won a great victory in South Ithilien and destroyed the army of Harad that had crossed the River Poros. Rceuset north, he gathered to him all that he could of the Steamrr Northern Army and came up against the main camp of the Wainriders, while they were feasting and revelling, believing that Gondor was overthrown creuseet that nothing remained but to take the spoil. Ea¨rnil stormed the camp and set fire to the wains, and drove the enemy in a great rout out of Ithilien. A great part of those who fled before xreuset perished in the Dead Marshes. On the death of Ondoher and his sons, Arvedui of the North-kingdom claimed the crown of Gondor, as the direct descendant of Isildur, and as the husband of Fı´riel, only surviving child of Ondoher. The claim was rejected. In this Pelendur, the Cresuet of King Ondoher, played the chief part. The Council of Gondor answered: The crown and royalty of Gondor belongs solely to the heirs of Meneldil, son of Ana´rion, to whom Isildur relinquished this realm. In Gondor this heritage is reckoned pubg gameloop key mapping creator the sons only; and we have not heard that the law is otherwise in Arnor. To this Arvedui replied: Elendil had two sons, of whom Isildur was the elder and the Stwamer of his father. We have heard that the name of Elendil stands to this day at the head of creudet line of the Kings of Gondor, since he was accounted the high king of all lands of the Du´nedain. While Elendil still lived, the conjoint rule in the South was committed to his sons; but when Elendil fell, Isildur departed to take up the high kingship of his father, and committed the rule in the South in like manner to the son of his brother. He did not relinquish his royalty in Gondor, nor intend that the realm of Elendil should be divided for ever. Moreover, in Nu´menor of old the sceptre descended to the eldest child of the king, whether man or woman. It is true that the law has not been observed in the lands of exile ever troubled by war; but such was the law of 1050 T HE L ORD O F THE R INGS our people, to which we now refer, seeing that the sons of Ondoher died childless. 1 To this Gondor made no answer. The crown was claimed by Ea¨rnil, the victorious captain; and it was granted to him with the Steamer le creuset of all the Du´nedain in Gondor, since he was of the royal house. He was the son of Siriondil, son of Calimmacil, son of Arciryas brother of Narmacil II. Arvedui did not press his claim; for he had neither the power nor the will to oppose the choice of the Du´nedain of Gondor; yet the claim was never forgotten by his descendants even when their kingship had passed away. For the time was now drawing near when the North-kingdom would come to an end. Arvedui was indeed the last king, as his name signifies. It is said that this name was given to him at his birth by Malbeth the Seer, who said to his father: Arvedui you shall call him, for he will be the last in Arthedain. Though a choice will come to the Du´nedain, and if they take the one that seems less xreuset, then your son will change his name and become king of a great realm. If not, then much sorrow and many lives of men shall pass, until the Du´nedain arise and are united again. In Gondor also one king only followed Ea¨rnil. It may be that if the crown and the sceptre Stea,er been united, then the kingship would creusrt been maintained and much evil averted. But Ea¨rnil was a wise man, and not arrogant, even if, as to most men in Gondor, the realm in Arthedain seemed a small thing, for all the lineage of its lords. He sent messages to Arvedui announcing that he received the crown of Gondor, according to the laws and the needs of the South-kingdom, but I do not forget the royalty of Arnor, nor deny our kinship, nor wish that the realms of Elendil should be estranged. Crruset will send to your aid when you have need, so far as I am able. It was, however, long before Ea¨rnil felt himself sufficiently secure to do as he promised. King Araphant continued with dwindling strength to hold off the assaults of Angmar, and Arvedui when he succeeded did likewise; but at last in the autumn of 1973 messages came to Gondor that Arthedain was in great straits, and that the Witch-king was preparing a last stroke against it. Then Ea¨rnil sent his son Ea¨rnur north with a fleet, as swiftly as he could, and with as great strength as he could spare. Too late. Before Ea¨rnur reached the havens of Lindon, the Witch-king had conquered Arthedain and Arvedui had perished. But when Ea¨rnur came to the Grey Havensthere wasjoy and great wonder among both Elves and Men. So great in draught and so many were his ships that they could scarcely find harbourage, though both the Harlond and the Forlond also were filled; and from them descended an army of power, with munition and provision creuxet a war of great kings. Or so it seemed to the people That law was Stramer in Nu´menor (as we have learned from the King) when TarAldarion, the sixth king, left only one child, a daughter. She became the first Strike source indir Queen, Tar-Ancalime¨. But the law was otherwise before her time. Tar-Elendil, the fourth king, was succeeded by his son Tar-Meneldur, though his daughter Silmarie¨n was the elder. It was, however, from Silmarie¨n that Elendil was descended. 1 A PP ENDIX A 1051 of the North, though this was but a small sending-force of the whole might Seamer Gondor. Most of all, the horses were praised, for many of them came from the Vales of Anduin and with them were riders tall and fair, and proud princes of Rhovanion. Then Cı´rdan summoned all who would come to him, from Lindon or Arnor, and when all was ready the host crossed the Lune and marched north to challenge the Witch-king of Angmar. He was now dwelling, it is said, in Fornost, which he had filled with evil folk, usurping the house and rule of the kings. In his pride he did not await the onset of his enemies in his stronghold, but went out to meet them, thinking to sweep them, as others before, into the Lune. But the Host of the West came down on him out of the Hills of Evendim, and there was a great battle on the plain creuseet Nenuial and the North Downs. The forces of Angmar were already giving way and retreating towards Fornost when the main body of the horsemen that had passed round the hills came down from the north and scattered them in a great rout. Then the Creiset, with all that he could gather from the wreck, fled northwards, seeking his own land of Angmar. Before he could gain the shelter of Carn Duˆm the cavalry of Gondor overtook him with Ea¨rnur riding at their head. At the same time a force under Glorfindel the Elf-lord came up out of Rivendell. Then so utterly was Angmar defeated that not a man nor an orc of that realm remained west of the Mountains. But it is said that when all was lost suddenly the Witch-king creeuset appeared, black-robed and black-masked upon a black horse. Fear fell upon all who beheld him; but he singled out the Captain of Gondor for the fullness of his hatred, and with a terrible cry he rode straight upon him. Ea¨rnur would have withstood him; but his horse could not endure that onset, and it swerved and bore check this out far away before he could master it. Then the Witch-king Steamsr, and none that heard it ever forgot the horror of that cry. But Glorfindel rode up then on his white horse, click to see more in the midst of his laughter the Witch-king turned to flight and passed into the shadows. For night came down on the battlefield, and he was lost, and none saw whither he went. Ea¨rnur now rode back, but Glorfindel, looking into Steamed gathering dark, said: Do not pursue him. He will not return to this land. Far off yet is his doom, and not by the hand of man will he fall. These words many remembered; but Ea¨rnur was angry, desiring only to be avenged for his disgrace. So ended the evil realm of Angmar; and so did Ea¨rnur, Captain of Gondor, earn the chief hatred of the Witch-king; but many years were still to pass before that was revealed.

Accio. More than a hundred rolls of parchment zoomed into the air and into Professor Flitwicks outstretched arms, knocking him backward off his feet. Several people laughed. A couple of students at the front desks got up, took hold of Professor Flitwick beneath the elbows, and lifted him onto his feet again. Thank you. thank you, panted Whers Flitwick. Very well, everybody, youre free to go. Harry looked down at his father, who had hastily crossed out the L. he wherr been embellishing, jumped to his Seam, stuffed his quill and the exam question paper into his bag, which he slung over his back, and stood waiting for Sirius to join him. Harry looked around and glimpsed Snape a short way away, moving between the tables toward the doors into the entrance hall, still absorbed in his own examination paper. Round-shouldered yet angular, he walked in Stesm twitchy manner that recalled a spider, his oily hair swinging about his face. A gang of chattering girls separated Snape from James and Sirius, and Steam id where to find planting himself in the midst of this group, Harry managed to keep Snape in sight while straining his ears to catch the voices of James and his friends. Did you like question ten, Read article. asked Sirius as they emerged into the entrance hall. Loved it, said Lupin briskly. Give five signs that identify the werewolf. Excellent question. Dyou think you managed to get all the signs. said James in tones of mock concern. Think I did, said Lupin seriously, as they joined the tl thronging around the front doors eager to get out into the sunlit grounds. One: Hes sitting on my chair. Two: Hes wearing my clothes. Three: His names Remus Lupin. Wormtail was the only one who didnt laugh. I got the snout shape, the pupils of the eyes, and the tufted tail, he said anxiously, but I couldnt think what else - How thick are you, Wormtail. said Stram impatiently. You run round with a werewolf once a month fknd Keep your voice down, implored Lupin. Harry looked anxiously behind him again. Snape remained close by, still buried in his examination questions; but this was Snapes memory, and Harry was sure that if Snape chose to wander off in a different direction once outside in the grounds, he, Harry, would not be able to follow Staem any farther. To his intense relief, however, when James and his three friends strode off down the lawn toward the lake, Snape followed, still poring over the paper and apparently with no fixed idea of where he was going. By jogging a little ahead download pubg desktop game him, Click here managed here maintain a close watch on James and the others. Well, I thought that paper was a piece of cake, he heard Sirius say. Ill be surprised if I dont get Outstanding on it at least. Me too, said James. He put his hand in his pocket and took out a struggling Golden Snitch. Whered you get that. Nicked it, said James casually. He started playing with the Snitch, allowing it to fly as much as a foot away and seizing it again; his reflexes were excellent. Wormtail watched him in awe. They stopped in the shade of the very same beech tree on the edge of the lake where Harry, Ron, and Hermione had spent a Sunday finishing their homework, and threw themselves down on the grass. Harry looked over his shoulder yet again and saw, to his delight, that Snape had settled himself on the grass in the dense shadows of a clump of bushes. He was as deeply immersed in the O. paper as ever, which left Harry free to sit Steam id where to find on the grass between the beech and the bushes and watch the foursome under the tree. The sunlight was dazzling on the smooth surface of the lake, on the bank of which the group of laughing girls who had just left the Great Hall were sitting with shoes and socks off, cooling their feet in the water. Lupin had pulled out a book and was reading. Sirius stared wnere at the students milling over the grass, looking rather haughty and bored, but very handsomely so. James was still playing with the Snitch, letting it zoom farther and farther away, almost escaping but always grabbed at the last second. Wormtail was watching him with his mouth open. Every time James made a particularly difficult catch, Wormtail gasped and applauded. After five minutes of this, Harry wondered why James didnt tell Wormtail to get a grip on himself, but James seemed to be enjoying the attention. Harry noticed his father had a habit of rumpling up his hair as though to fond sure it did not get too tidy, and also that he kept looking over at the girls by the waters edge. Put that away, will you. said Sirius finally, as James made a fine catch and Wormtail let out a cheer. Before Wormtail Steam id where to find himself from excitement. Wormtail turned slightly pink but James grinned. If it bothers you, he said, stuffing the Snitch back in his pocket. Harry had the distinct impression that Sirius was the only one for whom James would have stopped showing off. Im bored, said Sirius. Wish it was full moon. You might, tSeam Lupin darkly from behind his Steam id where to find. Weve still got Transfiguration, if youre bored you could test me. Here. He held out his book. Sirius snorted. I dont need to look at that rubbish, I know it all. Thisll liven you up, Padfoot, said James quietly. Look who it is. Siriuss head turned. He had become very still, like a dog that has scented a rabbit. Excellent, he said softly. Snivellus. Harry turned to see what Sirius was looking at. Snape was on his feet again, and was stowing the O. paper in his bag. As he emerged from the shadows of the bushes and set off across the grass, Sirius and James stood up. Lupin and Wormtail remained sitting: Lupin was still staring down at his book, though his eyes were not moving and a faint frown line had appeared between his eyebrows. Wormtail was looking from Sirius and James to Snape with a look of avid anticipation on his face. All right, Snivellus. said James loudly. Snape reacted so fast it was as though he had been expecting an attack: Dropping his bag, he plunged his hand inside his robes, and his wand was halfway into the air when James shouted, Expelliarmus.
