"Yeah, there's a lot would like to believe he's... "Yeah, there's a lot would like to believe he's that, son," said Dirk, "me includedBut where is he? Run for it, by the looks of thingsYou'd think if he knew anything we don't, or had anything special going for him, he'd be out there now fighting, rallying resistance, instead of hidingAnd you know, the Prophet made a pretty good case against him\a151"
"The Prophet?" scoffed Ted"You deserve to be lied to if you're still reading that much, DirkYou want the facts, try the Quibbler
There was a sudden explosion of choking and retching, plus a good deal of thumping, by the sound of itDirk had swallowed a fish boneAt last he sputtered, "The Quibbler? That lunatic rag of Xeno Lovegood's?"
"It's not so lunatic these days," said Ted"You want to give it a look, Xeno is printing all the stuff the Prophet's ignoring, not a single mention of Crumple-Horned Snorkacks in the last issueHow long they'll let him get with it, mind, I don't knowBut Xeno says, front page of every issue, that any wizard who's against You-Know-Who ought to make helping Harry Potter their

"Hard to help a boy who's vanished off the face of the earth," said Dirk
"Listen, the fact that they haven't caught him yet's one hell of an achievement," said Ted"I'd take tips from him gladly; it's what we're trying to do, stay free, isn't it?"
"Yeah, well, you've got a point there," said Dirk heavily"With the whole of the Ministry and all their informers looking for him, I'd have expected him to be caught by nowMind, who's to say they haven't already caught and killed him without publicizing it?"
"Ah, don't say that, Dirk," murmured Ted
There was a long pause filled with more clattering of knives and forksWhen they spoke again it was to discuss whether they ought to sleep on the back or retreat back up

Harry, Ron, and Hermione reeled in the Extendable EarsHarry, who had found the need to remain silent increasingly difficult the longer they eavesdropped, now found himself unable to

"I know!" said Hermione
She lunged for the tiny beaded bag, this time sinking her arm in it right up to the armpit she said between gritted teeth, and she pulled at something that was evidently in the depths of the bagSlowly the edge of an ornate picture frame came into sightHarry hurried to help herAs they lifted the empty portrait of Phineas Nigellus free of Hermione's bag, she kept her wand pointing at it, ready to cast a spell at any moment
"If somebody swapped the real sword for the face while it was in Dumbledore's office," she panted, as they propped the painting against the side of the tent, "Phineas Nigellus would have seen it happen, he hangs right beside the case!"
"Unless he was asleep," said Harry, but he still held his breath as Hermione knelt down in front of the empty canvas, her wand directed at its center, cleared her throat, then said:
"Er\a151Phineas? Phineas Nigellus?"
Nothing happened
"Phineas Nigellus?" said Hermione again"Professor Black? Please could we talk to you?
omega seamaster fake Please?"
"'Please' always helps," said a cold, snide voice, and Phineas Nigellus slid into his portraitAt one, Hermione cried:
"Obscura!"
A black blindfold appeared over Phineas Nigellus's clever, dark eyes, causing him to bump into the frame and shriek with pain
"What\a151how dare\a151what are you\a151?"
"I'm very sorry, Professor Black," said Hermione, "but it's a necessary precaution!"
"remove this foul addition at once! Remove it, I say! You are ruining a great work of art! Where am I? What is going on?"
"Never mind where we are," said Harry, and Phineas Nigellus froze, abandoning his attempts to peel off the painted blindfold
"Can that possible be the voice of the elusive MrPotter?"
"Maybe," said Harry, knowing that this would keep Phineas Nigellus's interest"We've got a couple of questions to ask you\a151about the sword of Gryffindor
"Ah," said Phineas Nigellus, now turning his head this way and that in an effort to catch sight of Harry, "yesThat silly girl acted most unwisely there\a151"
"Shut up about my sister," said Ron roughly, Phineas Nigellus raised

"Who else is here?" he asked, turning his head from side to side"Your tone displeases me! The girl and her friends were foolhardily in the extremeThieving from the headmaster
"They weren't thieving," said Harry"That sword isn't Snape's
"It belongs to Professor Snape's school," said Phineas Nigellus"Exactly what claim did the Weasley girl have upon it? She deserved her punishment, as did the idiot Longbottom and the Lovegood oddity!"
"Neville is not an idiot and Luna is not an oddity!" said Hermione
"Where am I?" repeated Phineas Nigellus, starting to wrestle with the blindfold again"Where have you brought me? Why have you removed me from the house of my forebears?"
"never mind that! How did Snape punish Ginny, Neville, and Luna?" asked Harry urgently
"Professor Snape sent them into the Forbidden Forest, to do some work for the oaf, Hagrid
"Hagrid's not an oaf!" said Hermione shrilly
"And Snape might've though that was a punishment," said Harry, "buy Ginny, Neville, and Luna probably had a good laugh with HagridThe Forbidden
