re jt for deration,&ot;
said herione
they watched the birds arg overhead, glitterg --
glitterg?
&ot;they≈39;re not birds!&ot; harry said suddenly &ot;they≈39;re keys! d
keys -- look carefully that t an&ot; he looked around
the chaber while the other o sted up at the flock of
keys &ot; yes -- look! broosticks! we≈39;ve got to catch the key to
the door!&ot;
&ot;but there are hundreds of the!&ot;
ron exaed the lock on the door
&ot;we≈39;re lookg for a big, old-fashioned one -- probably silver,
like the handle&ot;
they each seized a broostick and kicked off to the air,
arg to the idst of the cloud of keys they grabbed and
snatched, but the bewitched keys darted and dived ickly it
was alost ipossible to catch one
not for nothg, though, was harry the younst seeker
a century he had a knack for spottg thgs other people
didn≈39;t after a ute≈39;s weavg about through the whirl of rabow
feathers, he noticed a r silver key that had a bent g, as
if it had already been caught and stuffed roughly to the keyhole
&ot;that one!&ot; he called to the others &ot;that big one -- there --
no, there -- with bright be gs -- the feathers are all crupled
on one side&ot;
ron went speedg the direction that harry was potg,
crashed to the ceilg, and nearly fell off his broo
&ot;we≈39;ve got to close on it!&ot; harry called, not takg his
eyes off the key with the daad g &ot;ron, you e at it fro
above -- herione, stay below and s it fro gog down and i≈39;ll
try and catch it right, now!&ot;
ron dived, herione rocketed uard, the key dodd the both,
and harry streaked after it; it sped toward the wall, harry leaned
forward and with a nasty, crunchg noise, pned it agast the
stone with one hand ron and herione≈39;s cheers echoed around the
high chaber
they nded ickly, and harry ran to the door, the key
lg his hand he rad it to the lock and turned --
it worked the ont the lock had clicked open, the key took flight
aga, lookg very battered now that it had been caught ice
&ot;ready?&ot; harry asked the other o, his hand on the door
handle they nodded he pulled the door open
the next chaber was dark they uldn≈39;t see anythg at
all but as they stepped to it, light suddenly flooded the roo
to reveal an astonishg sight
they were standg on the ed of a hu chessboard, behd the
bck chessn, which were all taller than they were and carved fro
what looked like bck stone facg the, way across the chaber,
were the white pieces harry, ron and herione shivered slightly --
the towerg white chessn had no faces
&ot;now what do we do?&ot; harry whispered
&ot;it≈39;s obvio, isn≈39;t it?&ot; said ron &ot;we≈39;ve got to py our way
across the roo&ot;
behd the white pieces they uld see another door
