Chapter 19 - The Servant of Lord Voldemort“YOU'RE PATHETIC!” Harry yelled. “JUST BECAUSE THEY MADE A FOOL OF YOU AT SCHOOL YOU WON'T EVEN LISTEN _” “SILENCE! I WILL NOT BE SPOKEN TO LIKE THAT!' Snape shrieked, looking madder than ever. "Like father, like son, Potter! I have just saved your neck, you should be thanking me on bended knee! You would have been well served if he'd killed you! You'd have died like your father, too arrogant to believe you might be mistaken in Black. Now get out of the way or I will make you.”Q1 - What do you think of both Harry and Snape's statements?Q2 - Were they right to attack a teacher?"Harry I as good as killed them; he croaked. I persuaded Lily and James to change to Peter at the last moment, persuaded them to use him as Secret Keeper instead of me ... I'm to blame, I know it ... the night they died, I'd arranged to check on Peter, make sure he was still safe, but when I arrived at his hiding place, he'd gone. Yet there was no sign of a struggle. It didn't feel right. I was scared. I set out for your parents' house straight away. And when I saw their house, destroyed, and their bodies - I realized what Peter must have done. What I'd done. His voice broke. He turned away.”Q3 - What do you think of this whole story so far?Q4 - Do you get the secret keeper thing still?Harry remembered what Mr Weasley had told Mrs Weasley. “The guards say he's been talking in his sleep …. always the same words... "He's at Hogwarts.” “It was as if someone had lit a fire in my head, and the Dementors couldn't destroy it…it wasn't a happy feeling…it was an obsession…but it gave me strength, it cleared my mind. So, one night when they opened my door to bring food, I slipped past them as a dog…it's so much harder for them to sense animal emotions that they were confused…I was thin, very thin…thin enough to slip through the bars…I swam as a dog back to the mainland I journeyed north and slipped into the Hogwarts grounds as a dog…I've been living in the Forest ever since…except when I come to watch the Quidditch, of course…you fly as well as your father did, Harry…He looked at Harry who did not look away. Believe me croaked black believe me. I never betrayed James and lily. I would have died before I betrayed them. And at long last, Harry believed him. Throat too tight to speak, he nodded. Q5 - Is Ron nuts for letting Scabbers sleep in his bed?Q6 - Why would Harry change his murderous tone after learning of all this, is he right to show mercy to Pettigrew?Q7 - What are your thoughts on Pettigrew, Lupin, James, and Sirius now?Chapter 20 - The Dementor's Kiss“But I'm also — I don't know if anyone's ever told you — I'm your godfather.” “Yeah, I knew that,” said Harry. “Well…your parents appointed me your guardian,” said Sirius stiffly. “If anything happened to them…” Harry waited. Did Sirius mean what he thought he meant? “I'll understand, of course, if you want to stay with your aunt and uncle,” said Sirius. “But…well…think about it. Once my name's cleared…if you wanted a…a different home…”Q1 - Is it at all crazy that Harry now is okay with living with Sirius?Q2 - Do you think it's feasible that someone like Lupin forgot to take his potion?Q3 - What did you think Harry's patronus was on finishing this chapter?Q4 - Who did you think cast the patronus on your first read?Chapter 21 - Hermione's Secret“You surely don't believe a word of Black's story?” Snape whispered, his eyes fixed on Dumbledore's face. “I wish to speak to Harry and Hermione alone,” Dumbledore repeated.Q1 - What do you think about the dynamic between Snape and Dumbledore in this book?“But you believe us.” “Yes I do,” said Dumbledore quietly. “But I have no power to make other men see the truth.”Q2 - What do you think of the time turner?Q3 - Have you ever felt like you ran into a past or future version of yourself?Q4 - What would you do if you had one day with the time turner?REDDIT - alphaWLFgang1 - For me it's like someone asking that question if I'd rather have all the time in the world, or all the money in the world. My answer to that question is all the time in the world. With all the time in the world, if I wanted to be rich and have all the money in the world, I could do that. So for me, having a time-turner, I feel like I would be able to either own multiple companies or have multiple jobs while still spending time with family. Obviously it'd be tricky living that way and making sure I don't go crazy, but that's what I'd try to do at the most. Just being able to be more than one place at a time and be even more productive would open countless opportunities.“Macnair, if Buckbeak has indeed been stolen, do you really think the thief will have led him away on foot?” said Dumbledore, still sounding amused. “Search the skies, if you will…Hagrid, I could do with a cup of tea. Or a large brandy.”Q5 - Do you think Dumbledore was just playing here, or did he assume Harry would fly Buckbeak away?“Yeah, I saw him,” said Harry slowly. “But…maybe I imagined it…I wasn't thinking straight…I passed out right afterwards…” “Who did you think it was?” “I think—” Harry swallowed, knowing how strange this was going to sound. “I think it was my dad.”Q6 - Hermione's response is that Harry's dad is dead, is she the single worst comfort giver on the face of the planet?Q7 - Did you think this might have been James at this point?“We'll see each other again,” he said. “You truly are — truly your father's son, Harry…”Q8 - Should their goodbye have been a little longer?Chapter 22 - Owl Post AgainDumbledore looked up, and a wide smile appeared under the long silver mustache. “Well?” he said quietly. “We did it!” said Harry breathlessly. “Sirius has gone, on Buckbeak…” “Well done.”“Well, there you have it, Severus,” said Dumbledore calmly. “Unless you are suggesting that Harry and Hermione are able to be in two places at once, I'm afraid I don't see any point in troubling them further.”Q1 - Do you think Snape is good?“Perhaps we should think about dragons at the school entrance…”Q2 - Do you think Fudge is serious?“Yes, your father was always a stag when he transformed,” he said. “You guessed right…that's why we called him prongs.”“Didn't make any difference?” said Dumbledore quietly. “It made all the difference in the world, Harry. You helped uncover the truth. You saved an innocent man from a terrible fate.”Q3 - Do you think Dumbledore or Harry is more right here? Did Harry actually do anything of worth?“Do you know, Harry, I think she might have been,” he said thoughtfully. “Who'd have thought it? That brings her total of real predictions up to two. I should offer her a pay rise…”Q4 - After Dumbledore even thinks she's only had two real predictions, do you think Trelawney is a fraud or actually good?“Pettigrew owes his life to you. You have sent Voldemort a deputy who is in your debt. When one wizard saves another wizard's life, it creates a certain bond between them…and I'm much mistaken if Voldemort wants his servant in the dept of Harry Potter.” “I don't want a bond with Pettigrew!” said Harry. “He betrayed my parents!” “This is magic at its deepest, its most impenetrable, Harry. But trust me…the time may come when you will be very glad you saved Pettigrews life.”Q5 - What do you think Dumbledore is talking about here?“You think the dead we have loved ever truly leave us? You think that we don't remember them more clearly than ever in times of great trouble? Your father is alive in you, Harry, and shows himself most plainly when you have need of him. How else could you produce that particular Patronus? Prongs rode again last night…So you did see your father last night, Harry…You found him inside yourself.”Q6 - Do you think Dumbledore is right here? “I'll fix it up with Mum and Dad, then I'll call you. I know how to use the fellytone now—” “A telephone, Ron,” said Hermione. “Honestly, you should take Muggle studies next year…”Q7 - Should witches and wizards be required to take muggle studies?Q8 - The quidditch world cup is happening next summer, what countries would you guess are quidditch powerhouses?Q9 - How'd you like this book?

In the inaugural episode of Elevated Access' third season, Chad Hughes is joined by Senior Real Estate Infrastructure Advisor Gordon MacNair. Gordon has spent time with the RWA and worked across more than six countries. He shares advice along with the similarities and differences between the jurisdictions.Gordon worked in the BC Ministry of Highways and later for Ontario Hydro, among other companies in his career, which has given him great experience in acquiring land for major land assemblies. It was when he was working for the City of Ottawa that he became heavily involved with the International Railway Association as a volunteer before moving up to become the international president. In his presidential capacity, he has worked alongside people from the UK, Australia, South Africa, Nigeria, Mexico, the US, and Canada.Chad and Gordon discuss the similarities in the industry that exist across different countries and how the work is handled. Gordon also explains the significant differences between the varied jurisdictions, with a not insignificant difference being in terminology. Gordon shares which differences he sees as positives that he'd like to see adopted elsewhere, differing safety and risk situations, and some key lessons he has learned that he imparts as solid advice to those looking to similarly work internationally.“In the past, whenever I think about land assembly, I think you're putting together land for subdivisions or it's for commercial development, industrial development, residential development or whatever. But a lot of countries, especially the UK as well as Australia, they refer to land assembly in terms of you're putting projects together for your infrastructure real estate, whether it's the highways or whether it's the hydro lines or transmission lines, whatever the case may be. So again, a little nuance there with regards to the difference when you're talking about terminology.” - Gordon MacNairAbout Gordon MacNair:Gordon E. MacNair is a Senior Real Estate Infrastructure Advisor employed with MacNair Consulting Inc. His former position was with the City of Ottawa as the Director of the Corporate Real Estate Office where his team oversaw all real estate matters for the City of Ottawa.

Its the final instalment of the Revolutionary Strategy reading series! Jack and Dan finish the book and use Mike Macnair's 14 point outline of his strategic outlook as a frame for their discussion. Drawing on the contents of the book as a whole, and particularly the final three chapters, the lads outline the contents of the Kautskyism Plus strategy presented by Macnair. Macnair is broadly in alignment with Kautsky when it comes to his advocacy of a strategy of patience. Building a workers party and a broader workers movement is a process that cannot be rushed and that requires gradual and progressive work by committed activists. Where Macnair diverges from the ‘pope' of Marxism is over two questions: those of the state and internationalism. For Macnair, second international Marxism was a project far to committed to work within the bourgeois state rather than opposing it. Likewise it was far to centred on the national rather than the international fight for working class power. Marxism should be substantially internationalist. It was these two failings that lead to the catastrophe of 1914. The aim of Marxist strategy is to set the conditions necessary for the working class to challenge for state power. The workers party must be a party of opposition. Not a loyal opposition but a disloyal one.
