Then trust mine,’ said Gandalf. ‘It is quite made up. Go away and leave it behind. Stop possessing it. Give it to Frodo, and I will look after him.’Bilbo stood for a moment tense and undecided. Presently he sighed. ‘All right,’ he said with an effort. I will.’ Then he shrugged his shoulders, and smiled rather ruefully. ‘After all that’s what this party was all about, really: to give away lots of birthday presents, and somehow make it ring in your pocket,’ said the wizard. ‘Well, so I have!’ cried Bilbo. ‘And my will and all the other documents too. You had better take it and deliver it for me. That will be safest.’‘No, don’t give the ring to me,’ said Gandalf. ‘Put it on the mantelpiece. It will be safe enough there, till Frodo comes. I shall wait for him.’Bilbo took out the envelope, but just as he was about to set it by the clock, his hand jerked backeasier to give it away at the same time. It hasn’t made it any easier in the end, but it would be a pity to waste all my preparations. It would quite spoil the joke.’‘Indeed it would take away the only point I ever saw in the affair,’ said Gandalf.‘Very well,’ said Bilbo, ‘it goes to Frodo with all the rest.’ He drew a deep breath. ‘And now I really must be starting, or somebody else will catch me.

"No," said Harry. "That bit didn't work out." "On," said Dumbledore simply. Silence again. "Voldemort's got the Elder Wand." "True. Voldemort has the Elder Wand." "But you want me to go back?" 　　　"I think," said Dumbledore, "that if you choose to return, there is a chance that he may be finished for good. I cannot promise it. But I know this, Harry, that you have less to fear from returning here than he does."

　　　The creature behind them jerked and moaned, and Harry and Dumbledore sate without talking for the longest time yet. The realization of what would happen next settled gradually over Harry in the long minutes, like softly falling snow.

"I've got to go back, haven't I?"

"That is up to you."

"I've got a choice?"

　　　"Oh yes," Dumbledore smiled at him. "We are in King's Cross you say? I think that if you decided not to go back, you would be able to . . . let's say . . . board a train."

"And where would it take me?"

one look at him, seemed to recognize him from the train, folded her arms, and firmly turned her back on him.
　　　And Severus Snape moved off to the other side of the Hall, away from Lily, to where the Slytherins were cheering him, to where Lucius Malfoy, a prefect badge gleaming upon his chest, patted Snape on the back as he sat down beside him… And the scene changed… 　　　Lily and Snape were walking across the castle courtyard, evidently arguing. Harry hurried to catch up with them, to listen in. As he reached
　　　The roll call continued. Harry watched Lupin, Pettigrew, and his father join Lily and Sirius at the Gryffindor table. At last, when only a dozen students remained to be sorted, Professor McGonagall called Snape.

　　　Harry walked with him to the stool, watched him place the hat upon his head. "Slytherin!" cried the Sorting Hat.

turning to Lupin and saying, in a wildly transparent attempt to break the tension. "So--- 'ow eez leetle Teddy?"

　　　Lupin blinked at her, startled. The silence between the Weasleys seemed to be solidifying, like ice.
Fleur and Harry, who saw a tiny baby with a tuft of bright turquoise hair, waving fat fists at the camera. 　　　"I was a fool!" Percy roared, so loudly that Lupin nearly dropped his photograph. "I was an idiot, I was a pompous prat, I was a – a --" "Ministry-loving, family-disowning, power-hungry
　　　"I --- oh yes--- he's fine!" Lupin said loudly. "yes, Tonks is with him--- at her mother's ---"

Percy and the other Weasleys were still staring at one another, frozen.

　　　"Here, I've got a picture?" Lupin shouted, pulling a photograph from inside his jacket and showing it to

Hogwarts could do without me after all. I don't know whether they were planning to kill me or send me to Azkaban, either way, I knew it was time to disappear." 　　　"But," said Ron, looking thoroughly confused, "aren't – aren't we heading straight back for Hogwarts?"Little old witch living alone, they probably thought hey didn't need to send anyone particularly powerful. Anyway," Neville laughed, "Dawlish is still in St. Mungo's and Gran's on the run. She sent me a letter," he clapped a hand to the breast pocket of his robes, "telling me she was proud of me, that I'm my parent's son, and to keep it up."

"Cool," said Ron.

　　　"Yea," said Neville happily. "Only thing was, once they realized they had no hold over me, they decided

hurriedly thrust his own hand under his jacket to make sure he had not lost the Invisibility Cloak. Then he turned to see Bogrod shaking his head in bewilderment: The Thief's Downfall seemed to have lifted his Imperius Curse.
　　　"Harry, I think I can hear people coming!" said Hermione, and she pointed Bellatrix's wand at the waterfall and cried, "Protego!" They saw the Shield Charm break the flow of enchanted water as it flew up the passageway
　　　"We need him," said Griphook, "we cannot enter the vault without a Gringott's goblin. And we need the clankers!"

　　　"Imperio!" Harry said again; his voice echoed through the stone passage as he felt again the sense of heady control that flowed from brain to wand. Bogrod submitted once more to his will, his befuddled expression changing to one of polite indifference, as Ron hurried to pick up the leather bag of metal tools.

"So young," he said finally, "to be fighting so many."

　　　"Will you help us?" said Harry. "We haven't got a hope of breaking in without a goblin's help. You're our one chance."
　　　"I think," he said, settling himself ostentatiously upon Bill and Fleur's bed, "that the Skele-Gro has finished its work. I may be able to sleep at last. Forgive me. . . ." 　　　"Yeah, of course," said Harry, but before leaving the room he leaned forward and took the sword of Gryffindor from beside the goblin. Griphook
"I shall . . . think about it," said Griphook maddeningly.

"But –" Ron started angrily; Hermione nudged him in the ribs.
