enormous care. Exhausted and bleary-eyed though he was, he must make one last effort, seeking one last piece of advice.

   "The thing that was hidden in the Snitch," he began, "I dropped it in the forest. I don't exactly here, but I'm not going to go looking for it again. Do you agree?"

   "My dear boy, I do," said Dumbledore, while his fellow pictures looked confused and curious. "A wise and courageous decision, but no less than I would have expected of you. Does anyone know else know where it fell?""And then there's this."    Harry held up the Elder Wand, and Ron and Hermione looked at it with a reverence that, even in his befuddled and sleep-deprived state, Harry did not like to see.

"No one," said Harry, and Dumbledore nodded his satisfaction.

   "I'm going to keep Ignotus's present, though," said Harry, and Dumbledore beamed.

"But of course, Harry, it is yours forever, until you pass it on!"

That's for everyone else to do, not you personally?" said Ron.

 Xenophilius did not answer. He kept swallowing, his eyes darting between the three of them. Harry had the impression that he was undergoing some painful internal struggle.

"Where's Luna?" asked Hermione. "Let's see what she thinks."

 Xenophilius gulped. He seemed to be steeling himself. Finally he said in a shaky voice difficult to hear over the noise of the printing press, "Luna is Plimpies. She...she will like to see you. I'll go and call her and then - yes, very well. I shall try to help you."

 He disappeared down the spiral staircase and they heard the front open and close. They looked at each other.

"Cowardly old wart," said Ron. "Luna's got ten times his guts."

 "He's probably worried about what'll happen to them if the Death Eaters find out I was here" said Harry.

into the real world, that destiny was acquiring the slow, fatal logic of a dream. "Now I know what a ghost is," he thought. "Unfinished that's what."
Allie's presence in Bombay came, in the next two days, to preoccupy him more and more. His mind insisted on making strange Connections, between, for example, the evident recovery of her feet and the end of her affair with Gibreel: as if he had been crippling her with his jealous love. His rational mind knew that, in fact, her problem with the fallen arches had preceded her with Gibreel, but he had entered an oddly dreamy mood, and seemed impervious to logic. What was she really doing here? Why had she really come? Some terrible doom, he became convinced, was in store.

Why you didn't throw them in the wpb?" Gibreel howled. Allie, still not fully understanding the size of his rage, continued lightly. She had kept the pictures because she liked them. The first was an old Punch cartoon in which Leonardo da Vinci stood in his atelier, surrounded by pupils, and hurled the Mona Lisa like a frisbee across the room. "_Mark my words_," he said in the caption, "_one day men shall fly to Padua in such as these_." In the second frame there was a page from _Toff_, a British boys' comic from World War II. It had been thought necessary in a time when so many children became evacuees to create, by way of explanation, a comic--strip version of events in the adult world. Here, therefore, was one of the weekly encounters between the -- the Toff (an appalling monocled child in Etonian bum-freezer and pin-striped trousers) and cloth--capped, scuffkneed Bert -- and the dastardly foe, Hawful Hadolf and the Nastiparts (a bunch of thuggish
