Chapter 29 - The Lost Diadem“Alecto, Amycus's sister, teaches Muggle Studies, which is compulsory for everyone. We've all got to listen to her explain how Muggles are like animals, stupid and dirty, and how they drove wizards into hiding by being vicious toward them, and how the natural order is being reestablished. I got this one,” he indicated another slash to his face, “for asking her how much Muggle blood she and her brother have got.”Q1 - Obviously not entertaining Death Eater ideas, but do they have any kind of point?Thing was,” he faced them, and Harry was astonished to see that he was grinning, “they bit off a bit more than they could chew with Gran. Little old witch living alone, they probably thought they 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 parents' son, and to keep it up.”Q2 - What do you think of all the students rebelling at Hogwarts?Q3 - What do you think about the Room of Requirement hideout?“There's something important we need to do —” “What is it?” “I — I can't tell you.” There was a ripple of muttering at this: Neville's brows contracted. “Why can't you tell us? It's something to do with fighting YouKnow-Who, right?” “Well, yeah —” “Then we'll help you.” The other members of Dumbledore's Army were nodding, some enthusiastically, others solemnly. A couple of them rose from their chairs to demonstrate their willingness for immediate action. “You don't understand.” Harry seemed to have said that a lot in the last few hours. “We — we can't tell you. We've got to do it — alone.” Q4 - Is it good they're being so secretive? Harry looked from Ron to Hermione, who murmured, “I think Ron's right. We don't even know what we're looking for, we need them.” And when Harry looked unconvinced, “You don't have to do everything alone, Harry.” Q5 - Should they tell?Q6 - Where is the Diadem?“Which came first, the phoenix or the flame?” “Hmm . . . What do you think, Harry?” said Luna, looking thoughtful. “What? Isn't there just a password?” “Oh no, you've got to answer a question,” said Luna. “What if you get it wrong?” “Well, you have to wait for somebody who gets it right,” said Luna. “That way you learn, you see?” “Yeah . . . Trouble is, we can't really afford to wait for anyone else, Luna.” “No, I see what you mean,” said Luna seriously. “Well then, I think the answer is that a circle has no beginning.” Q7 - What do you think about the Ravenclaw tower's entrance?Harry stepped out from under the Cloak and climbed up onto Ravenclaw's plinth to read them. “‘Wit beyond measure is man's greatest treasure.'” “Which makes you pretty skint, witless,” said a cackling voice. Harry whirled around, slipped off the plinth, and landed on the floor. The sloping-shouldered figure of Alecto Carrow was standing before him, and even as Harry raised his wand, she pressed a stubby forefinger to the skull and snake branded on her forearm. Chapter 30 - The Sacking of Severus Snape“We can push it off on the kids,” said Amycus, his piglike face suddenly crafty. “Yeah, that's what we'll do. We'll say Alecto was ambushed by the kids, them kids up there” — he looked up at the starry ceiling toward the dormitories — “and we'll say they forced her to press her Mark, and that's why he got a false alarm. . . . He can punish them. Couple of kids more or less, what's the difference?” “Only the difference between truth and lies, courage and cowardice,” said Professor McGonagall, who had turned pale, “a difference, in short, which you and your sister seem unable to appreciate. But let me make one thing very clear. You are not going to pass off your many ineptitudes on the students of Hogwarts. I shall not permit it.” Q1 - Thoughts on McGongall and the Carrows?“It's not a case of what you'll permit, Minerva McGonagall. Your time's over. It's us what's in charge here now, and you'll back me up or you'll pay the price.” And he spat in her face. Harry pulled the Cloak off himself, raised his wand, and said, “You shouldn't have done that.” As Amycus spun around, Harry shouted, “Crucio!” Q2 - Should Harry have used crucio?“Time's running out, Voldemort's getting nearer. Professor, I'm acting on Dumbledore's orders, I must find what he wanted me to find! But we've got to get the students out while I'm searching the castle — it's me Voldemort wants, but he won't care about killing a few more or less, not now —” not now he knows I'm attacking Horcruxes, Harry finished the sentence in his head. “You're acting on Dumbledore's orders?” she repeated with a look of dawning wonder. Then she drew herself up to her fullest height. “We shall secure the school against He-Who-Must-Not-BeNamed while you search for this — this object.” “Is that possible?” “I think so,” said Professor McGonagall dryly, “we teachers are rather good at magic, you know. I am sure we will be able to hold him off for a while if we all put our best efforts into it. Of course, something will have to be done about Professor Snape —” She marched toward the door, and as she did so she raised her wand. From the tip burst three silver cats with spectacle markings around their eyes. The Patronuses ran sleekly ahead, filling the spiral staircase with silvery light, as Professor McGonagall, Harry, and Luna hurried back down.Q3 - What was the doe Patronus?“No, he's not dead,” said McGonagall bitterly. “Unlike Dumbledore, he was still carrying a wand . . . and he seems to have learned a few tricks from his master.” With a tingle of horror, Harry saw in the distance a huge, batlike shape flying through the darkness toward the perimeter wall. There were heavy footfalls behind them, and a great deal of puffing: Slughorn had just caught up.Q4 - Is Snape as dark as Voldemort?“My word,” he puffed, pale and sweaty, his walrus mustache aquiver. “What a to-do! I'm not at all sure whether this is wise, Minerva. He is bound to find a way in, you know, and anyone who has tried to delay him will be in most grievous peril —” “I shall expect you and the Slytherins in the Great Hall in twenty minutes, also,” said Professor McGonagall. “If you wish to leave with your students, we shall not stop you. But if any of you attempt to sabotage our resistance or take up arms against us within this castle, then, Horace, we duel to kill.” “Minerva!” he said, aghast. “The time has come for Slytherin House to decide upon its loyalties,” interrupted Professor McGonagall. “Go and wake your students, Horace.”Q5 - Do we trust Slughorn?There was a scuffling and a great thump: Someone else had clambered out of the tunnel, overbalanced slightly, and fallen. He pulled himself up on the nearest chair, looked around through lopsided horn-rimmed glasses, and said, “Am I too late? Has it started? I only just found out, so I — I —” Percy spluttered into silence. Evidently he had not expected to run into most of his family.Q6 - Do we trust Percy? How do you like him coming back at this moment?“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 moron,” said Fred. Percy swallowed. “Yes, I was!” “Well, you can't say fairer than that,” said Fred, holding out his hand to Percy. Mrs. Weasley burst into tears. She ran forward, pushed Fred aside, and pulled Percy into a strangling hug, while he patted her on the back, his eyes on his father. “Where's Ron?” asked Harry. “Where's Hermione?” “They must have gone up to the Great Hall already,” Mr. Weasley called over his shoulder. “I didn't see them pass me,” said Harry. “They said something about a bathroom,” said Ginny, “not long after you left.” “A bathroom?” Q7 - Where did they go?Chapter 31 - The Battle of HogwartsQ1 - What did you think of the students staying back to help and do they stand any chance against Voldemort and the Elder wand?“Well, help me, then!” Her composure was slipping. “It — it is not a question of —” she stammered. “My mother's diadem —” “Your mother's?” She looked angry with herself. “When I lived,” she said stiffly, “I was Helena Ravenclaw.” “You're her daughter? But then, you must know what happened to it!” Q2 - What do you think about the Grey Lady?“He tracked me to the forest where I was hiding. When I refused to return with him, he became violent. The Baron was always a hot-tempered man. Furious at my refusal, jealous of my freedom, he stabbed me.” “The Baron? You mean — ?” “The Bloody Baron, yes,” said the Gray Lady, and she lifted aside the cloak she wore to reveal a single dark wound in her white chest. “When he saw what he had done, he was overcome with remorse. He took the weapon that had claimed my life, and used it to kill himself. All these centuries later, he wears his chains as an act of penitence . . . as he should,” she added bitterly. Q3 - What do you think of her story?“He hid the diadem in the castle, the night he asked Dumbledore to let him teach!” said Harry. Saying it out loud enabled him to make sense of it all. “He must've hidden the diadem on his way up to, or down from, Dumbledore's office! But it was still worth trying to get the job — then he might've got the chance to nick Gryffindor's sword as well — thank you, thanks!” Q4 - Do you understand why he applied for the job now?“— attacking because they haven't handed you over, yeah,” said Aberforth, “I'm not deaf, the whole of Hogsmeade heard him. And it never occurred to any of you to keep a few Slytherins hostage? There are kids of Death Eaters you've just sent to safety. Wouldn't it have been a bit smarter to keep 'em here?” Q5 - Would you have kept a few Slytherins captive?“I was the last to come through,” said Mrs. Longbottom. “I sealed it, I think it unwise to leave it open now Aberforth has left his pub. Have you seen my grandson?” “He's fighting,” said Harry. “Naturally,” said the old lady proudly. “Excuse me, I must go and assist him.” With surprising speed she trotted off toward the stone steps. Q6 - Understand why I love Neville so much now?Q7 - What do you think of Crabbe and Goyle and Malfoy?And he saw them: Malfoy with his arms around the unconscious Goyle, the pair of them perched on a fragile tower of charred desks, and Harry dived. Malfoy saw him coming and raised one arm, but even as Harry grasped it he knew at once that it was no good: Goyle was too heavy and Malfoy's hand, covered in sweat, slid instantly out of Harry's — “IF WE DIE FOR THEM, I'LL KILL YOU, HARRY!” roared Ron's voice, and, as a great flaming chimaera bore down upon them, he and Hermione dragged Goyle onto their broom and rose, rolling and pitching, into the air once more as Malfoy clambered up behind Harry.Q8 - What do you think about Harry saving them and Crabbe dying?He pulled the diadem from his wrist and held it up. It was still hot, blackened with soot, but as he looked at it closely he was just able to make out the tiny words etched upon it: Wit beyond measure is man's greatest treasure. A bloodlike substance, dark and tarry, seemed to be leaking from the diadem. Suddenly Harry felt the thing vibrate violently, then break apart in his hands, and as it did so, he thought he heard the faintest, most distant scream of pain, echoing not from the grounds or the castle, but from the thing that had just fragmented in his fingers.Q9 - They're getting close…Nagini is only left?Then he heard a terrible cry that pulled at his insides, that expressed agony of a kind neither flame nor curse could cause, and he stood up, swaying, more frightened than he had been that day, more frightened, perhaps, than he had been in his life. . . . And Hermione was struggling to her feet in the wreckage, and three redheaded men were grouped on the ground where the wall had blasted apart. Harry grabbed Hermione's hand as they staggered and stumbled over stone and wood. “No — no — no!” someone was shouting. “No! Fred! No!” And Percy was shaking his brother, and Ron was kneeling beside them, and Fred's eyes stared without seeing, the ghost of his last laugh still etched upon his face. Q10 - RIP Fred…Chapter 32 - The Elder WandShe had pulled Ron behind a tapestry: They seemed to be wrestling together, and for one mad second Harry thought that they were embracing again; then he saw that Hermione was trying to restrain Ron, to stop him running after Percy. “Listen to me — LISTEN, RON!” “I wanna help — I wanna kill Death Eaters —” His face was contorted, smeared with dust and smoke, and he was shaking with rage and grief. “Ron, we're the only ones who can end it! Please — Ron — we need the snake, we've got to kill the snake!” said Hermione. But Harry knew how Ron felt: Pursuing another Horcrux could not bring the satisfaction of revenge; he too wanted to fight, to punish them, the people who had killed Fred, and he wanted to find the other Weasleys, and above all make sure, make quite sure, that Ginny was not — but he could not permit that idea to form in his mind — Q1 - What do you think of Ron's anger and grief here?Q2 - Is Hagrid dead?“How — how're we going to get in?” panted Ron. “I can — see the place — if we just had — Crookshanks again —” “Crookshanks?” wheezed Hermione, bent double, clutching her chest. “Are you a wizard, or what?”Q3 - Do you remember where you first read this line?“. . . my Lord, their resistance is crumbling —” “— and it is doing so without your help,” said Voldemort in his high, clear voice. “Skilled wizard though you are, Severus, I do not think you will make much difference now. We are almost there . . . almost.” “Let me find the boy. Let me bring you Potter. I know I can find him, my Lord. Please.” Snape did not speak. “Perhaps you already know it? You are a clever man, after all, Severus. You have been a good and faithful servant, and I regret what must happen.” “My Lord —” “The Elder Wand cannot serve me properly, Severus, because I am not its true master. The Elder Wand belongs to the wizard who killed its last owner. You killed Albus Dumbledore. While you live, Severus, the Elder Wand cannot be truly mine.” “My Lord!” Snape protested, raising his wand. “It cannot be any other way,” said Voldemort. “I must master the wand, Severus. Master the wand, and I master Potter at last.” And Voldemort swiped the air with the Elder Wand. It did nothing to Snape, who for a split second seemed to think he had been reprieved: But then Voldemort's intention became clear. The snake's cage was rolling through the air, and before Snape could do anything more than yell, it had encased him, head and shoulders, and Voldemort spoke in Parseltongue. “Kill.” Q4 - Initially you were happy Snape died…has your tune changed?Harry took off the Invisibility Cloak and looked down upon the man he hated, whose widening black eyes found Harry as he tried to speak. Harry bent over him, and Snape seized the front of his robes and pulled him close. A terrible rasping, gurgling noise issued from Snape's throat. “Take . . . it. . . . Take . . . it. . . .” Something more than blood was leaking from Snape. Silvery blue, neither gas nor liquid, it gushed from his mouth and his ears and his eyes, and Harry knew what it was, but did not know what to do — A flask, conjured from thin air, was thrust into his shaking hands by Hermione. Harry lifted the silvery substance into it with his wand. When the flask was full to the brim, and Snape looked as though there was no blood left in him, his grip on Harry's robes slackened. “Look . . . at . . . me. . . .” he whispered. The green eyes found the black, but after a second, something in the depths of the dark pair seemed to vanish, leaving them fixed, blank, and empty. The hand holding Harry thudded to the floor, and Snape moved no more. Q6 - What do you think?Q7 - Voldemort owns the Elder Wand now?

Welcome to the Slytherin Common Room. This chamber is submerged under the Black Lake, and the cold, blue-green light from the windows ripples on the walls, undulating with movement. The fire in the grate is largely ineffective against the chill, but it's crackle is a distraction from the silence in this underwater dungeon. Your studious classmates chase away sleep with a strong brew, their spoons clinking against the porcelain cups. The smell of coffee competes with the distinctive odor of Slytherin House, a mixture of peppermint, wintergreen, and pine with damp, earthy undertones. Despite the chilly air and the stiff, formal furnishings, you find yourself drowsy after hours of attention to the history of magic. Do your best to remain awake – the Slytherin Common Room is known to be a favorite haunt of the Bloody Baron, who takes evil pleasure in terrorizing inattentive students! --- To unlock intro-free, ad-free versions of all the 12 Hour Sound Machines, subscribe to the Podcast at subscribe.12hoursoundmachines.com This free episode has an ad or two at the very beginning but once the Sound Machine starts, rest assured there will be no more interruptions whatsoever

This week, Adam and Arri discuss Chapter 18 - The Weighing of the Wands. Inside this episode you'll find: the lore of Veela, large mannish hands, and the Bloody Baron gets a new position in addition to house ghost. With the news that Roe v. Wade could potentially be turned over in the United States, the freedom of choice is under attack which could set reproductive rights back decades with just the stroke of a pen. Of the 50 states in the US, 26 will become hostile to abortion seekers, and 5 currently have no current laws protecting the right to abortion. The Cut's article (linked here) is a wonderful resource to consider donating to state specific groups that are on the ground trying to help folks with uteruses be able to seek the medical care that they choose to have. Here at the pod, we have donated to All-Options Hoosier Abortion Fund as we both grew up in Indiana, and want to continue to aid those in the state who simply need access to a full spectrum of healthcare, no matter their financial situation. Please consider donating to other groups similarly in order to help those who may soon be unequipped the option of their own choosing. As always, women's rights are human rights. Rate! Review!

We discuss the tragic story of The Grey Lady and The Bloody Baron. Would you enjoy living in the same castle as your murderer?

Another wild tale of adventure and confusion leaps from the tapestry of history! This is the story of the Bloody Baron of the Mongolian wastes, Roman von Ungern-Sternberg - a man who ascended to godhood and became the devil (or did he?) Hear tell of one who faced the Bolsheviks, the Chinese, homeless people, and pretty much everyone else all at once and came out chewing up his own medal in pure rage.

If Coronavirus Were A Harry Potter Character, It Would Not Be Voldemort. So Who Then? Why, Peeves The Poltergeist of course. For me, the most useful metaphor for Coronavirus in the world of Hogwarts is Peeves the poltergeist. Hogwart’s most un-favourite poltergeist is pretty unmanageable. The only souls, living or dead, that have any impact on his mischief-making are Dumbledore and The Bloody Baron. Everyone else must put up with him - because what else can they do? Whether he is lobbing water balloons at the students during the welcoming feast or making Neville set fire to his own pants, Peeves seems to have some kind of superhuman (super ex-human?) ability to be undetectable before he strikes. Sounds a bit like Coronavirus if you ask me. Peeves stands for chaos and disruption. But look a bit deeper, and he is also a powerful metaphor for how to cope with that disruption. In this episode I explain the hidden goodness of Hogwarts' most onerous ghost. Enjoy!    RESOURCES Contact me: info @ theshiftinside.com The One-Minute Thought Experiment to lower your anxiety http://www.theshiftinside.com/minute/

Hogwarts has dozens of ghosts roaming its corridors, so in this episode we break down the stories of the ghosts we know and theorize on why these people chose to stay as spirits.

Kyle and Mikhail guide Geralt as he levels up, solves a logic puzzle, find a magic lamp, decides whether or not to crash a boat, summons the game horse, argues with a drawbridge, slaughters an unnecessary amount of ghouls, travels to Family Matters, lets an innocent man burn to death, and punches the Bloody Baron in the face. cw: domestic abuse Twitter: @KyleLMarshall & @LeaderGrev Music: Healing - In Love With A Ghost

Kyle and Mikhail get cozy, do some investigating, and work on some minor quests in their search for any kind of lead in their search for Ciri. Stay tuned for a major revelation about the Bloody Baron's dark past! (Or maybe you'll be asleep by that point. We almost were, no one's judging.)

Kyle and Mikhail visit the Bloody Baron in Crow's Nest, try to incept a pizza recipe in his mind, and then can't find their way out of a discussion on whether or not the Wolf King exists when HE'S RIGHT THERE ON THE SCREEN Twitter: @KyleLMarshall & @LeaderGrev Music: Healing - In Love With A Ghost Streaming on Twitch Mondays at 11 pm ET

Team Silverhawk must stop the villain behind the plan to wipe out Abundance 5 and that means finding and infiltrating his personal ship, the Bloody Baron. That's easier said than done, as the villain still has numerous minions, traps, and other defenses. But justice demands the crew of the Silverhawk stop the captain of the Bloody Baron in our campaign finale of Abundance 5!

This week the guys bring out 2 guest, the SPONZ's! Dan and Keegan are the two masterminds behind the Bloody Baron, Bloody Wonder Mk.III and the Ugly Wonder just to name a few. The crew goes into their upcoming plans for FF16, projects and scratch building as well as the incredible method Dan uses to create all of the Flite Test Plans.  To get in touch with us:  Email us at ftcommunitypodcast@gmail.com  Web - https://joelcannon.wixsite.com/ftcommunitypodcast  Facebook page - https://www.facebook.com/FTCommunitypodcast/ Thank you for listening and subscribing!

We continue our review of “The Witcher 3” and then answer some mail. Topics include: Why you shouldn’t play the Bloody Baron quest after “That Dragon, Cancer”; what Geralt has in common with Beyoncé; and why we have yet to review a Nintendo game. The post More ‘The Witcher 3’ & Listener Mail appeared first on Shall We Play a Game?.

This week we welcome you to the show with our sweet new intro. Why is WB so adamant about keeping the movies 2 1/2 hours long? Check out MuggleNet's new book, MuggleNet.com's What Will Happen In Harry Potter 7. Probably Prophecy! (Nudge, nudge, wink, wink!) Jamie's lack of Halloween enjoyment as a child explains his bitter disposition as an adult. Main Discussion: Ghosts, Poltergeists, and Ghouls, oh my! How should we take Nearly Headless Nick's advice to Harry at the end of OOTP? What's with the Bloody Baron, and why is he so… bloody? Was the Grey Lady inspired by the ghost of Lady Jane Grey, who haunts the Tower of London? Could Dumbledore get rid of Peeves? Does Professor Binns know anything crucial about Voldemort? Debate: Halloween is a morally vapid holiday, which encourages delinquency. Andrew and Jamie vs. Micah and Laura. Chicken Soup for the MuggleCast Soul. Laura Mallory update. British/Halloween joke.
