Chapter 08: Shelling Out Disaster0 Reviews
TMNT 2003/Harry Potter Crossover. Sequel to Books I through V. With enemies coming from all directions, Harry Potter will need all the help he can get.
Ginny sat on a chair, facing out the front window of the Burrow, her worries about both Harry and Lily growing by the minute. Hailey had arrived several hours ago but there was no sign of the other two Potters. While there was no hint that the worst had happened, there was also no evidence that they had managed to get out safely with the Horcrux. Ginny eyed her two way mirror, but was leery in contacting Harry, just in case both him and his mother was in the middle of defusing a particularly dangerous protection about Voldemort's Horcrux.
"Ginny, dear, it's time for dinner," called her mother from the kitchen and Ginny rose to her feet, before walking towards the kitchen in a bit of a stupor, hopefully looking over her shoulder a couple of times as she moved towards the kitchen.
A loud bang from outside of the Burrow drew Ginny's attention away from her thoughts and this noise apparently caught the attention off those who were inside the kitchen. Ginny rushed towards the door, followed by Bill, Ron, Fred, George, Hailey, and her parents. A light knocking sound was heard from outside the Burrow.
"It's Harry and I, Lily," said Lily from outside the door. "Harry's in really bad shape, we need to get in right now."
Ginny reached forward and pulled the door open, as Lily walked in, helping her son inside. Lily had mild scratches and cuts on her face and hands, but looked to be alright other than those minor injuries. Harry's condition was a different story entirely. His face looked chalk white and sweaty, as if he had a horrible case of the flu and he could barely stand on his own power.
"Harry, what happened?" asked Ginny.
"I'll explain later," whispered Harry, looking at Bill, Ron, Fred, and George, along with Mr. and Mrs. Weasley. He didn't want any more people to know about the Horcruxes than had already. While he did trust them all, Harry still wasn't going to take any chances. "I'm fine, just need rest."
Harry sank on the couch, his legs giving out from under him. Ginny sat next to him, with a concerned look on her face. Harry decided that it would be best to not tell his girlfriend about how close he had come to dying tonight.
"Anyway the thing we were after is safe and with the other one," added Lily calmly.
"The other one?" asked Mrs. Weasley, not able to help herself. "I want to know what's going on here. All Hailey said was that you were after something important, but she seemed to dodge around any questions that I asked, before telling me that Harry would tell me if I needed to know. Ginny said pretty much the same thing."
"Well, I'll tell you the same thing," replied Lily calmly. "Already too many people know about what we are after and we don't want to run the risk of having you captured by Death Eaters and having them torture any information out of you."
"Mrs. Weasley, it's important that no one knows that I'm collecting these things until I find the very last one," declared Harry in a calm voice. "All you need to know is that what I was doing tonight is crucial to my role in fighting Lord Voldemort."
"Harry, you're a child!" exclaimed Mrs. Weasley in a complete horrified voice before turning to Lily. "Lily, why didn't you let him go after something that is obviously dangerous?"
"Harry was going to go on his own," remarked Lily calmly. "But I insisted that I come with him and I think it's a good idea that I did."
"The point is that Harry shouldn't have went at all, I can't believe you could have thought it was a good idea for a fifteen year old child to go after something that dangerous!" yelled Mrs. Weasley. "He looks like Ginny did after she wrote in that horrid diary. If he was my son…"
"Which, he's not," interjected Lily. "I appreciate your concern Molly, but I was under the impression that I was the one that carried Harry for nine months."
"I just think that your impressions of what is safe for children to know are a bit misguided Lily," declared Mrs. Weasley. "I doubt that a child should think that he should be the one to fight You-Know-Who. Harry could have gotten himself killed a dozen times over and you continue to let him do these dangerous things."
"Better to let Harry know everything even if it might be dangerous, then to coddle him to the point where he resents me smothering him, wanting to leave the house the moment he comes of age," replied Lily in a calm voice which caused Mrs. Weasley to suddenly look worried.
"You don't think my children resent me," said Mrs. Weasley in a frantic voice. "I really do mean the best, it's just that sometimes, You-Know-Who's out there and his Death Eaters…"
"Mum, we don't resent you," replied Bill. "It's just that you like to have a say in what everyone does."
"I know, I'm sorry," replied Mrs. Weasley. I'm worried that's why Percy…"
"I don't know why Percy did what he did, Mum," replied Ginny. "Don't go blaming yourself for every little thing that goes wrong?"
"Yeah, we get enough of that with Harry," replied Hailey in a cheeky voice which caused Harry to glare at his sister.
"Molly, I'm sure Percy will come around, it just might take some time," said Mr. Weasley in a bit of a forced voice.
"And if he doesn't, we might have to track him down…" started Fred.
"And have a little chat with him to make him see the error of his ways," continued George as both of the twins gave mischievous grins.
"You will do no such thing," declared Mrs. Weasley in a stern voice. "Percy has to come back around on his own."
"And Molly, I doubt very much your children resent you," declared Lily. "I'm sorry if I implied that, I was out of line."
"Lily, I do smother them too much, but I don't want to lose any of them," said Mrs. Weasley. "They are in danger with You-Know-Who out there and I worry that he might get them one day."
"I know that feeling all too well," said Lily in a serious voice. "Still, we shouldn't try and dwell on that too much, with tomorrow being Harry's birthday and all."
"Of course," said Mrs. Weasley. "Sixteen years old!"
"And if I'm not mistaken, by American laws, Harry is eligible to get his Apparation license," added Mr. Weasley nodding.
"Yes, that would be correct, Mr. Weasley," replied Harry. "They are a bit more flexible about underage magic too, namely that underage wizards can practice magic in the summertime. There are still harsh penalties of using magic in the presence of or on Muggles. "
"Wicked!" exclaimed the twins in unison.
"With that kind of unlimited responsibility, imagine the kind of pranks we could have developed in America," said Fred fondly.
"Yes, the untapped potential, sadly it was not to be," added George in a mock, remorseful voice.
"It's just as well, as you two flaunt the underage restriction enough as it is," replied Mrs. Weasley.
"It doesn't really matter anyway, as the Decree for Underage Sorcery is only strictly monitored in muggleborns homes," interjected Lily, which caused the Weasley children to stare at her in amazement. "The Ministry count on the parent's to enforce the actions of their children inside magical homes."
"All those years in the Ministry, and I never heard of that," said Mr. Weasley. "I suspect this is one of those things that only the families who have a high standing in the Ministry know about."
"Looks like that to me," said Lily. "Of course, they want muggleborns to be at a disadvantage because it serves their agenda that we don't belong in magical society. The problem isn't necessarily the Ministry, it's the people who are in the high level positions in the Ministry that are making the decisions."
"I thought the Ministry was getting better," said Ron, speaking up for the first time. "After Malfoy was found out to be a Death Eater, it looked like they were trying to make things right."
"That's what the Ministry wants you to think," replied Harry weakly. "There are a few people who are high up that are trying to make a difference, but there are many others who are trying to smother their influence. A few Death Eaters have been captured, but no one that Voldemort's going to lose any sleep over."
"Mostly new recruits," added Lily. "And there is sufficient enough evidence that makes me think that Voldemort wanted those Death Eaters to get captured."
"I agree," replied Harry. "Contrary to what the Daily Prophet has been spewing, Death Eaters aren't the only prisoners in Azkaban. There are other dangerous magical criminals inside that Voldemort might bust out in exchange for them agreeing to serve him. In essence, it would be useful for Voldemort to have people on the inside to help with a mass breakout."
"I'm sure we can continue this particular conversation at another time," interjected Mrs. Weasley. "Dinner was ready before Harry and Lily arrived. I think it might be a good idea to go and eat it before it gets too cold."
Deep inside his throne room in the bowels of his headquarters at Salazar Tower, Lord Voldemort sat with his snake familiar Nagini slithering lazily around his feet. Not much progress was made for his campaign in the last couple of weeks. Voldemort preferred to keep the Magical World guessing his next move, while launching attacks sporadically. All in the name of maintaining the atmosphere of fear that Voldemort had thrived on. Voldemort had not the resources to make his next assault. He had the knowledge to implement his plans with the scrolls, but he needed the means to channel great quantities of magical energy into an all out assault on the British Wizarding World.
"My Lord, we have her," declared a harsh voice from outside Voldemort's throne room.
"Bring her in," hissed Voldemort raising his wand before getting to his feet.
The doors creaked open and two Death Eaters dragged in Sibyll Trelawney, who looked a bit shaken.
"Really, is this necessary?" asked Trelawney in an agitated voice. "I was just having a drink, minding my own business, when you two grabbed me."
"Greetings, Sibyll," hissed Voldemort and Trelawney looked up at him with a slightly intrigued, yet horrified look on her face.
"The Dark Lord," breathed Trelawney.
"Yes, pleased to see that you've heard of me," replied Voldemort calmly.
"Then, you should be warned of some of the things I have seen regarding you," declared Trelawney in a dramatic voice. "I see death in your future, looming upon you like an overwhelming specter. The only way to save yourself from your fate is repent from your evil ways, before it's too late."
"I do see death, Sibyll," hissed Voldemort. "It isn't my death however, rather it will be yours if you do not give me the information I want promptly."
"What information could you want from me?" asked Trelawney.
"The prophecy," hissed Voldemort shortly.
"I beg your pardon," replied Trelawney.
"The prophecy that led to my downfall at the hands of young Harry Potter," hissed Voldemort.
"I'm afraid you must be mistaken, I don't recall ever making such a prophecy," declared Trelawney.
Voldemort grabbed Trelawney's face and forced it upward, looking into eyes. It appeared that someone extremely powerful had put artificial Occulmency barriers to block him from extracting the information from her mind. The Dark Lord doubted that she even remembered the prophecy, as the information must have been completely blocked off from her recollection.
"Very well, there are ways of improving your ability to recall the Prophecy," hissed Voldemort before pointing to Trelawney. "CRUCIO!"
Trelawney screamed in pain as Voldemort tortured her for a mere ten seconds. Voldemort had hoped that his torture would cause a shock that in turn caused the prophecy to spill out of Trelawney's mouth.
"Well," hissed Voldemort. "Would you like to tell me the prophecy now, Sibyll?"
"I still don't know what you are talking about," sobbed Trelawney. "Honestly."
"Very well," hissed Voldemort before turning to the two Death Eaters. "Take her to the dungeons and perhaps time will wear down her resistance."
The two Death Eaters roughly dragged Trelawney off, before Voldemort waved his wand, sending a black jet of light that resembled a basilisk out of his wand. The basilisk figure shot out the door and Voldemort waited patiently for several moments before Severus Snape made his way into his throne room.
"You wanted to see me, my Lord?" asked Snape.
"Yes, Severus," hissed Voldemort. "I need your entire stock of Polyjuice Potion."
"At once my Lord," declared Snape, wondering in the back of his mind why Voldemort wanted a large quantity of Polyjuice Potion. Dumbledore would surely be interested for something that peculiar.
It was very late in the evening at the Burrow. Harry had tried to get to sleep many times that evening, but he was always woken up moments later by his scar stinging. The last time Harry woke up he seemed to see a hazy vision of something very peculiar. Harry tried to remember what had happened but he only could manage to remember vague details. He could have sworn that he had saw Voldemort demanding that Trelawney tell him the contents of the prophecy but other then that Harry couldn't remember anything. Snape had definitely been there as well but other than that Harry was at a complete loss to understand why he had seen what he had seen. The truly horrifying thing was that Harry had never experienced anything like he saw before.
Harry absent mindedly moved towards the bathroom, for lack of anything else better to do but he stopped in his tracks at the sound of Ginny's voice.
"No, you can't make me do it Tom, you can't make me kill Harry," said Ginny and Harry quickly moved towards the room that both Ginny and Hailey were sitting out. "No, Harry, get out, save yourself, no, Tom, Harry!"
Harry threw open the door. Hailey, amazingly enough, was still sleeping but Ginny was tossing and turning in her bed.
"Ginny, Ginny, wake up," hissed Harry, reaching over and grabbing his girlfriend gently by the shoulders and Ginny's eyes sprang open, with a slight fearful look on her face but when she saw Harry, she felt relief.
"Just a dream" muttered Ginny as she sat up in bed.
"Ginny, would you like to talk to me about what you were screaming about in your sleep?" asked Harry calmly.
"Harry, it's awful, I'm in my first year and in the Chamber of Secrets again," replied Ginny. "Only this time, instead of using the Basilisk, Tom made me attack you. I tried to fight it, but he was too powerful. You tried to save me but he had me under his control and you couldn't hurt him without hurting me. You were killed in seconds."
"Relax Ginny, I'm still here, it didn't happen," replied Harry, pulling his girlfriend into an embrace but Ginny seemed doubtful.
"These dreams, I'm almost sure that they're trying to tell me something," whispered Ginny in a fearful voice before adding her fears. "Voldemort's going to kill you next time."
"Ginny, don't worry, Voldemort…" started Harry but he couldn't find the right reassuring words.
"Harry, you might not have told me, but you did come close to dying tonight," replied Ginny. "I put it together when Mum mentioned that you looked like I did when the effects of Tom's diary were wearing off but I sort of suspected…"
Ginny trailed off.
"I suppose it might be because of the bond, I felt pain and anguish a couple of times, that I couldn't explain," replied Ginny. "For a second, my mind blanked out."
"I touched the ring," muttered Harry.
"YOU DID WHAT!" yelled Ginny in shock and Harry felt even more than ashamed about being foolish enough to touch the ring then ever before.
"You'll wake Hailey up," hissed Harry, looking at his sister, who shockingly remained asleep.
"I put a silencing charm around my bed, because of the nightmares," replied Ginny quickly.
"Then how did I…" started Harry but before realizing. "That means I heard you inside my head."
"Perhaps but I'm still trying to figure out why you thought it was a good idea to touch one of Voldemort's Horcruxes," said Ginny.
"I managed to throw off the compulsions that the diary was given off, so I thought I could have thrown off the ring," replied Harry. "Unfortunately, Voldemort seemed to have made the compulsions on ring slightly more powerful, and it tried to plant some awful thoughts in my head."
Harry paused, before breathing calmly.
"If Mum didn't insist on coming with me, I would have died," said Harry. "The ring carried a curse that would have spread to my body, shutting down my internal organs slowly and painfully. I was seconds away from putting on the ring before she stunned me to bring me back to my own seconds. I can't believe I was so stupid."
Ginny shuddered at the thought, before pulling Harry closer, their lips meeting in a passionate kiss.
After about a minute, they broke, Harry feeling slightly better for the moment.
"The important thing is you're alive," answered Ginny before surveying Harry's face. "Harry, is there any particular reason why you were up at this time of night?"
"Voldemort," said Harry. "I had a vision tonight, that the only thing I can gain from it is Voldemort had captured Trelawney and is after that fake prophecy that Dumbledore had her concoct."
"Did she give it to him?" asked Ginny.
"From what I can tell, she didn't," replied Harry. "Voldemort didn't kill her, he really wants the prophecy but the other alternative is breaking into the Hall of Prophecy and stealing it from there."
"He still hasn't figured out it's a fake," said Ginny.
"If he's after Trelawney, I doubt it very much," declared Harry. "His actions made it an unintentional true prophecy in a way but if there was an older prophecy made first, it would invalid what it says."
Harry just sighed.
"You believe in neither prophecy," muttered Ginny in an understanding voice.
"Fate is a funny thing," said Harry. "It's only made true by the actions of people and not by any rhetoric whether be spoken or written. Unfortunately, it's alarming how much of the true prophecy has come true since it was made and whether or not the rest of it is true remains to be seen.."
Ginny couldn't help but notice Harry looked more worn down than ever before and he barely stifled a yawn.
"As for your dream, you did tell me you had dreams before about the Chamber after it happened," said Harry quietly.
"They stopped about midway through my second year, shortly before I got out of St. Mungos from when Dumbledore attempted to put the Imperius Curse on me," recalled Ginny. "Those dreams weren't quite as vivid or frequent. I can't recall what exactly happened in them. Now they happen every night and I could recite every detail."
"Ginny, just try and get some sleep," said Harry calmly. "I'll stay here for a little bit longer, to make sure you can fall asleep without that horrid dream recurring."
"Thanks Harry," said Ginny quietly, as her head crashed down onto her pillow, as she held Harry's hand. "Good night Harry."
"Sweet dreams, Ginny," said Harry soothingly, as he looked down at Ginny, her vivid red hair framing her beautiful face as she drifted off to sleep.
Harry yawned, feeling a bit tired himself. He didn't feel the strength to return to his own bed right now. Maybe if he laid down for a few minutes right beside Ginny and just rested for a bit, he would find the strength to will himself back to his room. Harry's eyes began to droop. It had been a very long day with the Horcrux and all. Perhaps he could rest his eyes for a few minutes.
"GINERVA MOLLY WEASLEY!" yelled a shocked voice. "What do you think you're doing, young lady?"
Harry's eyes flickered open and to his surprise it was morning already. It took his mind a few seconds to register that Mrs. Weasley was standing in the doorway, with her hands on her hips. Several seconds later, Harry realized he had fallen asleep in Ginny's bed, as his girlfriend's head rested on his chest with her arms wrapped around him.
"Professor McGonagall, the hippogriff ate my homework," muttered Ginny sleepily before realizing where she was and who she was with. "Oh good morning Harry, I wondered why I was so comfortable."
"Well," prompted Mrs. Weasley, who looked remarkably like a dragon at this moment. Harry wouldn't be surprised if she started to breathe fire.
"It looks like I was sleeping until you wake me up and Harry might have…fallen asleep in my bed," said Ginny before trailing off. "Harry, could you help me out?"
"She's your mother," replied Harry waving his hands, while searching his pocket for his mirror. Harry found it and quickly tapped it three times with his wand. "You're on your own, babe."
Ginny opened her mouth but Mrs. Weasley decided to start in.
"GINNY THAT POOR BOY WAS WEAK AND VUNERABLE AND YOU ARE CORRUPTING HIM BY LETTING HIM SLEEP IN YOUR BED!" yelled Mrs. Weasley. "HONESTLY, I THOUGHT I RAISED YOU BEETTER THAN THAT. WHAT WOULD YOUR FRIENDS THINK…"
"Jeez woman, take about ten years off my hearing, why don't you," grumbled Hailey as she finally woke up. "And I'm her friend and it's quite obvious I don't think."
"HONESTLY LIKE SOME SCARLET WOMAN…" started Mrs. Weasley but Harry decided that he had heard quite enough.
"Mrs. Weasley, shut up!" yelled Harry, losing his patience. At that moment Harry saw his mother appear in the doorway. Mrs. Weasley stopped, backing up a step "Ginny may be your daughter, but I'm not going to stand by and let you insult her, especially when you don't have all the facts."
"What's exactly going on here?" asked Lily who looked at Harry who was obviously very upset and then seeing Ginny who looked equally flustered, before realizing what happened. "I see."
"Mum, nothing happened, I just fell asleep, I swear on my honor that's all that happened," replied Harry.
"I believe you Harry," said Lily. "Exactly why were you in here anyway?"
Before Harry could answer, Ginny cut in.
"Harry had a nightmare," said Ginny quickly, with a pleading look in her eyes. "He couldn't get back to sleep. I overheard him pacing the halls and he looked very unnerved. I invited him inside to talk about it and he fell asleep after a while. I couldn't bear to wake him. You see Harry never sleeps all that much when he's at Hogwarts. I fell asleep and soundly slept until Mum came screaming like a banshee."
"Oh this is interesting," said Lily with a searching look. Ginny and Harry looked at each other, they suspected she knew they weren't telling the whole truth but didn't really want to press the issue too much. "It seems the bond between Harry and Ginny has decided to take their relationship to another level."
"What bond between Harry and Ginny?" asked Mrs. Weasley who seemed to be taken aback by this revelation.
"Ginny, you didn't tell your parents about the bond," muttered Harry.
"Ooops," said Ginny sheepishly. "Guess it slipped my mind."
"Ginny!" exclaimed Harry. "You would think that would be the sort of thing you would remember."
"I'm sorry, Harry, can you forgive me?" asked Ginny, looking up at Harry with wide brown puppy dog eyes.
"You know the effect that has on me," muttered Harry shaking his head, but there was a smile on his face nevertheless. "You know I can't stay mad at you when you do that."
"Why do you think I did it?" asked Ginny with a mischievous smile.
"Excuse me, but what bond is this?" asked Mrs. Weasley.
"Let's have Breakfast first," suggested Lily quickly. "Then I'm sure Ginny and Harry will help me explain the particulars of the bond."
Mrs. Weasley nodded, looking partially relieved that she would gain some answers in time, but a bit put off that she was being dismissed for the moment in her own home.
After an excellent Breakfast, Harry, Ginny, and Lily sat together, as Mrs. Weasley sent the others to degrome the garden. It seems that the time passed had calmed her down slightly.
"I believe I said we were going to give you some explanations about the bond between my son and your daughter," prompted Lily.
"Yes, I'm quite interested in this, because the only instance I've heard of magical bonds occurring were between grown witches and wizards that were married for several years and even then it doesn't happen too often," said Mrs. Weasley.
"This isn't your ordinary magical bond, in fact the bond that Harry and Ginny has is extremely rare," replied Lily calmly. "I've looked into it and its only been happened two other times in documented history."
"Its call a Compatibility Bond, Mum," supplied Ginny. "According to what Harry and I found out, we are bonded in mind, body, and soul."
"It's kind of complicated exactly how it works, Mrs. Weasley," added Harry. "Our magic is stronger then ever before because of the bond. We went through all three stages of the bond, the third stage completing the night of the Yule Ball."
"When you officially started dating," muttered Mrs. Weasley.
"Essentially yes," replied Harry.
"Okay, you told me what it was, but what precisely did you mean when the bond was going to take the relationship to the next level?" asked Mrs. Weasley.
"Molly, you have seven children, I think you can figure that out on your own," said Lily. "They said they were just sleeping and as long as they were just sleeping, there's no reason to get upset. I think Harry and Ginny are responsible enough not to go too far"
"Yes, but…" said Mrs. Weasley.
"Mum, you trust me, right," interjected Ginny with an innocent smile.
"Of course, I do, Ginny," said Mrs. Weasley with a sigh. "But…"
"So if you trust me that must mean that you don't trust Harry, right?" asked Ginny.
"Of course, I trust Harry, it's just that…well…" sputtered Mrs. Weasley, who seemed to have been backed into a corner by her own daughter. "I suppose you want this arrangement to continue."
"I prefer that Harry gets a good night's sleep, without staying up all night," said Ginny with a smile. "I wouldn't want him to collapse into nervous exhaustion, so if sleeping in the same bed with him gets him to the night, I doubt I'd be doing him much of a service to complain."
Harry felt a rush of affection for his girlfriend. She was good at laying on a guilt trip and the reasons why she was sorted in Slytherin
"Ask your father," said Mrs. Weasley quickly. "I need to see how the others are coming along on the degnoming of the garden."
A loud bang sounded outside of the front door of the Burrow.
"Who could be here this early in the morning?" muttered Mrs. Weasley. Harry watched her leave the room before pointing his wand, creating a mild privacy barrier around the doorway.
"Okay, Mum, Voldemort has Trelawney and he's after the faux prophecy," said Harry without warning.
"There had been leads that Voldemort was after the fake Prophecy all year," said Lily. "There is a copy in the Department of Mysteries but security around the Department is rather tight these days from what my contacts have said."
Lily ran her fingers through her hair, deep in thought.
"Dumbledore wouldn't just leave Trelawney in a position to spill the prophecy," said Lily thoughtfully. "It's just not his style; he wants to keep Voldemort guessing as much as Voldemort wants to keep the rest of us guessing."
"Who knows anymore what Dumbledore would or wouldn't do?" asked Harry before cancelling the privacy barriers as Mrs. Weasley approached.
"Harry, there's a large crate outside for you," remarked Mrs. Weasley in a bewildered voice.
"The security system is here," said Harry in a mystic voice.
"Arthur mentioned something about a threat that you had warned him about but you said you would take care of it," said Mrs. Weasley as Harry moved forward. "I can't see why you can't put more wards up to correct any flaws."
"Yes, but the first thing about wards is, if you put more of them around a dwelling, the one's that you do have become less potent," lectured Harry. "Especially we'll need a Muggle repelling ward of great magnitude to repel the threat I suspect is lurking in the village. That would weaken the anti-Dark Mark wards, which would cause a huge problem."
"Wait a minute, the threat is from Muggles," said Mrs. Weasley in a frantic voice.
"Not just any Muggles, Foot Ninjas," muttered Harry, shaking his head. "I saw a trio of them lurking just outside of the wards in the village and they saw me. Thankfully, Mum put a Confundus Charm on them but when it wears off, they have a pretty good idea of the general area."
Mrs. Weasley looked utterly confused.
"Mrs. Weasley, I have a life outside of Voldemort and believe me, you don't want to know what I've found myself up against," said Harry.
"No, I supposed you're right, Harry," said Mrs. Weasley in a defeated tone of voice. "But, still, a Muggle security system…"
Harry looked down at the box and there were uncomfortable grunts coming from within, as Lily and Ginny entered the room to get a better look. More muffled noises echoed from inside the crate.
"Harry, there's not something alive in there, is there?" asked Ginny in undertone.
"Harry, we know you're out there, let us out," declared a muffled, irritated voice from inside the crate.
Harry just leaned towards the crate.
"What's the magic word?" asked Harry calmly, with a bit of a smile appearing on his face.
"Please," suggested a slightly force voice.
Harry waved his wand and the top of the crate sprang open. Raph, Don, Mikey, Leo, and Master Splinter quickly scrambled out of the crate. Mrs. Weasley just stood there, for one of the few times in her life, speechless.
"Next time, I insist we travel first class," said Mikey, shaking his head.
"Sorry, but that's the only way I could get you in without the Foot knowing that you're here," explained Harry.
"So this is the security matter that you talked to us about," suggested Leo and Harry nodded slowly.
"Now I'm not sure exactly how many Foot Ninjas there are, I just saw a trio of them lurking around the village," explained Harry. "As you can tell, I don't want the Shredder storming in here with dozens upon dozens of Foot Ninjas and having a nasty little repeat of the beating I received by the Foot during the summer after my second year. Of course, that's just a small concern of all the people I might indirectly put in danger."
The Turtles and Master Splinter nodded in understanding.
"Just show me where they are and I'll knock them around," said Raph, who looked ready for a rumble.
"You will not will be picking a fight Raphael," lectured Master Splinter in a stern voice. "Harry has only brought us here as a security measure."
"So, you must be Harry's family," said Mrs. Weasley, finally finding her voice. "I must say, I heard quite a bit about you from Ginny, but I can see there is nothing that could have prepared me to meeting you in person."
"Yes, I do apologize for the short notice of our arrival," said Master Splinter in an apologetic voice.
"At least you took our arrival reasonably well," chimed in Don. "Most faint straight away when they see us."
"Well, we are a little overcrowded but there is one place you can stay," said Mrs. Weasley. "The attic, there's nothing up there but the ghoul. Don't mind it through, its harmless, all it does is make noise by banging on the pipes up there."
"It can't be any worse than Raph's snoring," muttered Mikey, causing Raph to glare at him.
"I just hope that the Foot doesn't find out that I'm here but better to be prepared for something that isn't going to happen then not be prepared and pay the price," replied Harry, repeating what he had told Scrimgeour and Madam Bones during their last meeting a couple of weeks ago as regards to Voldemort. Unfortunately, the Ministry was still infested with Voldemort supporters on every level, many unknown to Harry. So it was being rather difficult to institute change, even through there were some who did want to do what they could to oppose Voldemort.
"Let's worry more about that later," suggested Ginny suddenly brightening up. "Happy Birthday, Harry."
Harry nodded in agreement, fully intending to enjoy his sixteenth birthday no matter what the cost.

How Do You Deal w/ User Induced Stress?
Cliff posted more than 9 years ago | from the 10-mississippi-9-mississippi-8-mississippi... dept.171
Anonymous asks: "I've worked as a Network/System Administrator at a small company for two years now. It's my nature to remain calm and collected while trying to accommodate everyone, even when having a particularly stressful day. After two years though, I've recently found myself being stressed all the time and my calm, cool exterior is starting to show some cracks. How do Slashdot readers cope with the stress induced by a highly demanding job and being stalked by users asking for the same thing over and over (i.e. password resets, login problems, how do you...)?"

We return from our summer travels (and travails) with stories of colonial homesteads and colonial privilege, followed by a debunking of prominent atheist and neuroscientist Sam Harris' absurd article and podcast defending Israel over the (apparently) mindless barbarian Arabs who comprise "her enemies". We then chat with Electronic Intifada associate editor Nora Barrows-Friedman about the origins of the Israel/Palestine conflict, Zionism as a colonial project, what the deal is with Hamas, and what lies ahead.
We start by discussing the new documentary Cowspiracy: The Sustainability Secret, which delves into how animal agriculture is the primary source of environmental degradation on the planet, and asks why major environmental organizations aren't doing anything about it. Then we are joined by veteran lecturer and media analyst Jean Kilbourne to discuss her pioneering work looking at how advertising depicts women; how it creates and enforces gender roles and impossible beauty standards; and how it contributes to rape culture. Lastly, we review some feedback on the Chris Hedges plagiarism debacle.

December 24, 2002
Tift County-- Some people think the Christmas seasons lasts entirely too long even though we had one fewer week between Thanksgiving and Christmas this year.
Many people would be red with envy if they had all the poinsettias Dwight Knight has. "This year, I have 1,700," says Poinsettia Producer Dwight Knight. "They are thirsty. They love fertilizer."
Much like having 1,700 new borns in a nursery. Each flower gets individual attention, with its own watering tube with fertilizer.
His Christmas babies were delivered in August as cuttings six inches long, when many people hadn't thought about Christmas, and his excitement began. "You watch it grow and get a little larger," says Knight. "You watch it expanding and the color changes."
Much like a proud father watching his children grow up. "You can keep them looking beautiful if you will look after them."
But most people don't know how to keep them healthy. "You've got to have enough light to maintain that green color."
Light. They grew up with plenty of it, and still need plenty of light when they go home. "Even if you put it in a dining room or living room, don't have the drapes drawn and a dark room."
The popular Christmas plant originally came from South of the border. "We can thank ambassador, colonial Poinsett who saw them growing everywhere in Mexico and brought them to the United States.
Now, we have white and pink ones to go along with the popular red color. Dwight Knight's Christmas plants grow up fast and spread joy-- a joy he receives long before we get it.
The poinsettia grower says that if you push your finger in the soil to see if it has dried out, you could get a false indication. That's why he recommends picking up the whole flower pot and checking its weight.

|Mike, a group of 11 of us flew to Jacksonville to have dinner at your restaurant on May 22. The food and service were excellent. We are especially appreciative for your great assistance in helping us get back to the airport when the taxi companies failed us. We all had a good time and will be back.
|Jim Deaton, Raleigh, NC
|June 05th, 2014
|When my husband and I visit our daughter's family in Jacksonville; Mike's Farm is a MUST visit, also. The food is great. The store is nice, too. You did a good job at creating a warm, inviting business. My son-in-law will soon be getting out of the Marines and they will move back home (Indiana). I will sorely miss going to Mike's Farm. If I hear of people traveling to your area, I will recommend your business. Thank you for good memories.
|Diana Truitt, Wadesville, Indiana

|My husband and I went to Mike's Farm for the Christmas lights with a group from church. We had been looking everywhere for a good place to go and Mike Farm did NOT disappoint! First we had dinner at the restaurant and I swear I could have eaten my weight in their Mac-N-Cheese! I have tried to replicate it many times since eating there last and I can't get close! Can I get the recipe, please?!?! Then we went on to see the lights which were just absolutely wonderful! I haven't seen such a great display of lights since moving to NC from California:) Keep it up!
|Alexis, Cove City, NC
|March 20th, 2014
I was at your restaurant about two years ago and the food was amazing! I
am not a big mac-n-cheese fan, but your recipe changed my mind. I have
been searching for somewhere here that serves it like you do there, but
to no avail. Is there any way I could get the recipe that you use? I
keep bragging on it here in Indy, but no one believes me how tasty it
Improvements: I didn't see anything that could be improved. There was a large crowd when we got there, but the lines moved through very quickly and the staff was beyond polite and cordial. You have an amazing place there; never let it go!

|Comments: our daughter has talked about your place forever and tonight we were blessed to be your guest tonight. it was raining but it did not dampen anyone's Christmas joyous spirit, even the driver was more than courteous on our embarkment. we were all wet but it didn't matter and then we were treated to the best meal and we had a very large group and treated the best by the wait staff.. we are humbled by what you have done and how we were treated!!

|I received my ONLY Christmas wish last night. I wanted to have our children and grandchildren to go with us to see the Christmas lights and have a meal there. They have never been there before, they worked out their schedules so we could ALL be together for a WONDERFUL night of GREAT FOOD and BEAUTIFUL LIGHTS. Even with the misting rain we have a great time. Thank You so much, something we will talking about forever!

|I couldn't have asked for a better experience anywhere for my family of 4! We stopped in on a quick trip which turned out to be a perfect family memory. My son and daughter loved every second of this farm from the hayride to pick out pumpkins down to the Billy goats running around. =) Including the great food which was surprisingly AMAZING! We even stopped into your adorable bakery for fudge afterward and some quick gift shopping. There wasn't a single thing that could have made this trip better, you have thought of everything! Thanks again!

|I drove out there for the Halloween hayride and i had such a great time. I was able to get my ticket eat a hot dog and wait inline for the hayride within an hour of being there! It was such a great environment to be in, it was definitely a family setting.

|When me and my wife Chris come down to visit our daughter who lives in North Carolina we go to Mikes farm to have a nice fresh home cooked meal. They have the juiciest chicken I have ever tasted and for the price that you pay you get allot of food for the money and walk out full. Keep it up the good work you do not see places like this anymore.

|Some friends of my husband and me took us last year to mike's tree farm. even after waiting for 2 hours to get in was WELL worth the wait! the food is GREAT and the price is right. we are going back tonight and bring some other of our friends with us for their 1st time there. this will be our 4th time. am looking forward to the good eating tonight.

|My daughter and 9 year Grandson took me when i visited in October 2011. Her husband was a Marine who was stationed there and in Afghanistan at the time. I really enjoyed my visit. We walked the whole grounds then got pumpkins for her and my Grandson. We visited the gift shop and being a chocolate nut I bought some fudge. We then had dinner in the restaurant and it was by far the best meal I ever tasted. I really enjoyed it and would love to return if only for dinner :)

|Just wanted to say thank you for all that you do on the farm to make peoples lives more enjoyable during the holidays. The farm is one of the places we try to visit every year during December. In 2012 we took 7 carloads and drove an hour and a half to get there and waited 3 hours and let me tell you it was worth the time everyone had a wonderful time. The food was fabulous and the light show was spectacular, the live nativity put it in perspective and the tribute to the troops summed it up .Wow is one single word that described it best for us .Thanks again !!

|My first visit to Mike's Farm Restaurant and I was thoroughly impressed with the decor, service, and food. It was my birthday and Valentine's Day, we chose Mike's Farm Restaurant to celebrate my birthday and my wife of forty-five year's Valentine treat. I couldn't have asked for better. Both of us were elated with the server and the food was just like our momma's home cooking. The restaurant itself was quaint with themed booths for dining and very clean. I would recommend this eating establishment or anyone seeking that country dining flavor and good country cooking. Thanks for a most enjoyable experience.

|This evening, my husband and I were a part of the group from River Bend who enjoyed a wonderful meal and your breathtaking hayride of lights. The dinner you offered was delicious, your wait staff was delightful and the hayride was fantastic. The light display was so beautifully done. It was joyous, respectful and touching all at the same time. Thank you for offering such a wonderful experience. For those who have not experienced your offering, we would recommend Mike's Farm Christmas experience in a heartbeat.

|Joey Piner, Sr, Carolyn Piner, Heidi Piner and me (Joy Bradshaw) went to Mikes Farm on Sat. Dec, 8. This was our first visit and we thoroughly enjoyed it. Our 3yr old granddaughter Heidi was overwhelmed with the hay ride and lights. I must admit at 48 years old, I felt like a child myself. The meal was excellent and we have already made reservation for our whole family next year. Thanks from our family to yours. MERRY CHRISTMAS!

|The staff of RONNIES CRAB SHACK had our Christmas party at the farm on Tuesday Dec. 4.

|Enjoyed the article in Our State magazine. Live in western NC and would like to visit with you in 2013. Will you have Christmas activities as you have in 2012.? Would like to make this a couple's weekend during the season. If you think you'll be doing features 2013, please advise and I'll design an eastern NC outing. Jane

We saw the Ho Ho Christmas show last year during our fist visit to the
farm. Thoroughly enjoyed the show, the food was great, the hospitality
and service was remarkable and the hayride got my wife and I in the
Christmas spirit. We decided then to return for the same experience this
year in 2012. We went last night, Friday, November 30 and also took our
daughter. What an absolutely wonderful, family experience! We all had a
great time and are most thankful, and yes, once again, it took last
night to bring us into the Christmas spirit once again. This will become
a post-Thanksgiving tradition for us!
Improvements: Less comedy routine in the show and more music.
|Chuck Owens, Greenville, NC
|December 1st, 2012
|We visited the farm for dinner and light show last night with some friends (group party reservation). We've been doing this for several years and thoroughly enjoy it. It is always a pleasure to go and enjoy being together. It's not Christmas for us until we've had our visit to the farm and light show. Thank you for keeping Christ in Christmas and giving our family and friends a tradition we look forward to yearly. Merry Christmas to all of you at Mikes Farm!

|We were in NC visiting my son that is stationed there at New River. They brought us there for dinner. It was really great. I wish they had a place like that up here. Everything was great, but we especially loved the macaroni and cheese. Is is possible to get that recipe? Please. We will look forward to visiting the next time we are in the area.

|This is by far one of the best places that I have ever been to! The food, wonderful, the place itself amazing. I have lived in the Richlands/Beulaville area since 1993 (off and on). It is my favorite place to eat, take my kids, shop for the holidays, and to get baked goods. Thanks for being one of the best little secrets in the South!

|February 15th, 2012
|I was there in December, 2011 for the dinner, show and hayride. What a wonderful time we had......the food was delicious, the show was great and the Christmas decorations were 'AWESOME'. We now have reservations for the dinner and show on February 10, 2012 for Valentine's and we are looking forward to it just as much as our other visits. Great place to go and have a great time with family and friends. Also love the gift show and the fudge is out of sight. I always look forward to purchasing some to bring home for the next few days. Thanks for everything.

|I want to share my story with you....I had been wanting to go to Mike's Farm for a while but at 54 years old had never been. I finally talked my boyfriend into going this past Thursday night and we had the most wonderful time!! Enjoyed a lovely dinner and the hayride was awesome!! He sadly passed away yesterday morning from a heart attack. I will have the most wonderful memories of our last night together at Mike's Farm.......

|WOW!!!! We struck out on a whim to enjoy birthday/Christmas celebration time. On Saturday, Dec. 17, we left Whiteville about 5:00, arrived around 7:00, ate at 9:30 and returned home after 12:00 and was as happy and full as we could be. We didn't get to go on the hayride and see the lights and wish we could have. We had to sing in a cantata at church (Porter Swamp Baptist Church) the next day and did not want to risk a sore throat. But we will be going back!!!!! Hey, we will definitely eat again, lol. Thanks, it was fun!It was a wonderful dining experience and our waitress was so kind.

|This was our first time doing the Christmas Hayride, My kids, My mom and I enjoyed it very much. The part I enjoyed the most was with the soldier n the God Bless the USA part. It was very tearful due to my hubby is deployed over sea n knowing how much people really do care about our troops over seas.. I just cant remember the song that was played with the soldier walking... we hope to make it back again soon..

Food, Entertainment and Light Show, UNBELIEVABLE!! One of the few places that has not forgotten JESUS, and not afraid to say so! Also, the staff were so organized and Happy.

|My wife and I were visiting family stationed at Camp Lejeune this past week (Thanksgiving) and we brought our nephews to Mike's Farm for the hayride and Christmas lights. It was the best hayride/Christmas lights I have ever experienced. The tremendous amount of work and passion put into your operation was very apparent. My favorite part was the live nativity scene to help us all remember and focus on the true meaning of Christmas. Thank you for what you do and we look forward to returning to Mike's Farm on future trips.

|Came to Wilmington to visit my sister. I went online to search out suitable places to take my 2 year old, Gracie. I found Mike's Farm website and decided to visit. We went this past Saturday and loved it! Gracie loves the outdoors and she had a blast. She was able to feed a goat and have a few private conversations with some chickens and the donkey. She rode a tractor and had her picture made several times around the farm. My sister went a little crazy in the fudge shop and we came out with piping hot apple cider, fried apple pies, several different flavors of fudge and a few cream cheese puffs. At the cash register were several samples that included apple butter, crackers, cream cheese and the best jalapeno jelly that i have ever tasted. We needed to take a break after carrying all of that so we decided to eat lunch at the restaurant. I love Cracker Barrel but this made Cracker Barrel eat dust! Don't tell my mom, but the mac and cheese was better than hers.. shh! If there had been more time on our vacation, i would have went back. I am already planning on visiting my sister just to be able to go to Mike's Farm.

|My family and I really enjoy coming to Mike's Farm we have a family tradition every second Saturday of October we go and spend the day. The farm is beautiful and the kids really love the hayrides and picking their own pumpkins. The restaurant is amazing the food is beyond words. My favorite part though besides everything is the gift shop and the most wonderful fudge I have ever had. Thank you Mike and your family for the opportunity to be apart of this wonderful place and making your farm part of our family traditions.

We make a annual visit in October to go on the hayride out to the pumpkin patch (along w/ our daughter, son-in-law and little Grace, our sweetie-pie Grand-daughter. (They live in Jacksonville) It's a great place for families. We also enjoy eating the wonderful food that you prepare at your restaurant ( LOVE the mac'and cheese, best we've ever had!)

|We visited your place the third week of July and it was amazing. The country life was really felt there and the food there was delicious. I really thought the mac and cheese was just to die for and would love to have that recipe! I do not think I will ever get a chance to come back as that was the first time in my 38 years I have ever been to NC and may not get another chance. My best friend, her family, and I were visiting her brother at Camp Lejeune and he took us to your place for a wonderful dinner. It was a great experience.

|This was my first visit to North Carolina, we have family stationed at Camp Lejeune. My children have been telling me about Mike's Farm for a while, this is their favorite place ever. After eating there myself, I now understand what they mean. That was the best food that I have ever had. The mac & cheese was GREAT !!!! I' am already planning my next trip down there.

|I grew up in Duplin County, then moved to Virginia. For the past several years my mother kept telling me about Mike's Farm. This past December I finally got the chance to go for a Christmas dinner with her church group. The food was fantastic, I have eaten at a lot of "southern" restaurants and diners, but Mike's is by far the best! The staff makes you feel like you are at one of your aunt's or grandmother's house. Thanks for a memorable meal!

Pretty pricy- I want the insulator pullover and $158 was just about the highest I was willing to pay, but my bday is next week so hopefully that is some justification :) Thanks for finding that out!

In true Ralph Lauren style, the Sugarberry armoire exudes natural beauty in charming slate blue. This nineteenth century threetiered wedding cake design looks as though it's been passed down through generations. For the finishing touch, the drawer is lined with denim ticking.

Hey Guys,
This isn't math but if you've been a follower for a while you already know that I love helping animals too. :O
The Fort Worth animal shelter, MY local animal shelter, recently took in over 500 animals (which is WAY more than normal)! They've been very good in the past about not having to put healthy, adoptable animals down but now they have a HUGE over population. They are trying their best to get these animals adopted and fostered so they don't have to start putting them to sleep.
They are running a half priced adoption special, which means $24.50 for dogs and $12.50 for cats. This includes shots, spay/neutering, and micro-chipping.
If you are in the area, PLEASE consider adopting or fostering. And if you're not local, PLEASE consider donating and sharing!
For more information on how to adopt one of the animals at the Fort Worth shelter, click here.
For the day crowd
I wish I could go get Thunder Snow a friend… :O I can't but YOU can! :)

Recycling Batteries Responsibly
The European Directive on Batteries and Accumulators aims to minimise the impact of batteries on the environment and encourage the recovery of the materials they contain. In the UK, regulations on the recycling of batteries and accumulators (rechargeable batteries) were Introduced in 2009. The Waste Batteries Regulations aim to significantly increase UK collection and recycling of used portable batteries from 3% in 2007 to 25% by 2012, rising to at least 45% in 2016.
The battery symbol on a product or on its packaging indicates that the product must not be disposed of with general household waste. Instead, it is the consumer's responsibility to dispose of their waste batteries at a designated collection point so that they can be recycled. The separate collection and recycling of batteries at the time of dispo sal will help to conserve natural resources and ensure that they are recycled in a manner that protects human health and the environment. A comprehensive list of battery recycling centres can be obtained from: www.recycle-more.co.uk
All Samsung products that are subject to the Batteries Directive are compliant with the UK battery and accumulator Requirements. In accordance with national law, SAMSUNG Electronics (UK) Ltd is a member of an approved batteries producer compliance scheme. This scheme collects, treats and disposes of batteries on Samsung's behalf.

charging port
I really like my Note 3 however the charging port is a bit of a designe plaw the charger that comes with it has a large connection port that becomesloose in a short time less then 6 bweeks for me and becomes worse over time to a point where is does not connect porperly to charge much at all, the only good thing is they allowed for a smaller charging cable to work if you are lucky enough to have one.
I wonder how long before that port becomes stretched out as well though. Other then the charging issues the phone is lovely.Show more +

Good phone, just a little on the expensive side of android phones
Works great I upgraded the other day from an iPhone 5 I was a little nervous not knowing entirely on how to work an android OS. You can do everythingyou can do on ios on this device.
The huge screen helps make viewing the screen easier, battery life is impeccable, stylus is a nice feature, as well as the fact you can upgrade your memory with an SD card. Unlike iPhone, the best part is this phone does everything the iPhone and IOS 7 does and way way more. best phone I've ever ownedShow more +

The BEST Multi-Purpose Phone
Having purchased over 40 phones in the past 8 years, I could never find "the Suitable Phone". I found I always had to give up something to enjoy something else.
I have purchased many units from Samsung, including all the previous versions of the note ... But was never satisfied. I recently was a current user of an IPhone 5, and changed to Samsung Galaxy 4. I was majorly impressed with the S4's features and design, but again something was lacking for my personal needs. Then I was introduced to the Note 3 from a family member. I was helping him set up his unit ... I started to really fall in love with this phone. I then purchased it two weeks ago .... NO phone has ever compared. It blows away the previous generations of Notes. It's super fast, battery life is incredible lasting well over two days with heavy usuage of multitasking, video and audio playback. I can't imagine this unit being improved. It's fantastic for my business and personal needs. I now tell others of this great phone, and how purchasing it would benifit them. No need for two devices ... A phone and tablet ... You can enjoy the convenience of both in one in the palm of your hand. Thank you Samsung ... You have finally made the PERFECT PHONE!!!!!Show more +

Craft Lessons: Teaching Writing K Through 8by Ralph Fletcher
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
Craft is the cauldron in which the writing gets forged.
Ralph Fletcher and JoAnn Portalupi argue that too often we concentrate on the beginning and ending of the writing process--conceiving and correcting--while leaving students on their own to make a thousand critical decisions in their writing about crafting leads, voice, structure, supporting detail, setting, mood, and character.
What elements of craft can we teach student writers, and at what age are they ready to learn them? This book answers both questions. Craft Lessons is the practical text for the over-scheduled writing teacher who wants to give students fresh challenges for their writing but doesn't have time to pore over dozens of trade books to do so.
There are three main sections in the book: one geared for teachers of primary students, one for teachers of grades 3-4, and one for teachers of middle school writers. This developmental structure allows teachers to go directly to those craft lessons most applicable and adaptable to their own students. Each of the 78 lessons is presented on a single page in an easy-to-read format. And every lesson features three teaching guidelines:
Craft Lessons also explores the context--the crucialclassroom conditions--for successfully bringing rich ideas to young writers. It will appeal to both experienced writing teachers seeking new horizons for their writers and teachers who are relatively new to teaching writing.
Be sure to take a look at Nonfiction Craft Lessons: Teaching Information Writing K-8 and the When Students Write videotapes.

NH MIlitary People: Marine Corps honors Central High alumnus
Gunnery Sgt. Damian LeClair, a native of Hooksett, has been named the Marine Corps Enlisted Logistician of the Year and was presented his award March 14 during an awards dinner in Washington, D.C.
LeClair, a unit movement control center chief with Combat Logistics Regiment 15, 1st Marine Logistics Group, was honored for his work last year in support of Operation Enduring Freedom in Afghanistan.
He and his team of five Marines provided logistical support to more than 15,000 personnel within Regional Command Southwest, according to the Marine Corps website. "In a given month, they processed approximately 600 logistical requests including food, equipment, gear and supplies, often working 13 hour days to push supplies to coalition forces," according to a story on the site.
LeClair has been in the Marine Corps since August 1997, after graduating from Manchester Central High School. He is married to Cindy Behrmann, who is from Manchester, and has a daughter, Anisia.
LeClair also has served in Operation Iraqi Freedom, on the USS Peleliu, in Okinawa Japan and in South Korea. His next assignment, starting May 1, is at Camp Johnson, N.C., where he will instruct logistics operations.
Salem High graduate completes Army training
Army Pfc. Emily J. Dechane has graduated from basic combat training at Fort Jackson, Columbia, S.C.
During the nine weeks of training, she studied the Army mission, history and core values and received instruction in combat skills, military weapons and marksmanship, chemical warfare, drill and ceremony, map reading and field tactics, and military courtesy and justice.
Dechane, a 2012 graduate of Salem High School, is the daughter of Peter Dechane of Salem and Regina Paradis of Goffstown.

Them dry bones
Four student interns working with the Georgia Museum of Natural History reassembled the skeleton of a 15-foot pygmy sperm whale, which had washed ashore on Ossabaw Island. The group used photos of a pygmy whale skeleton as a guide. It was the first time that a whale was reassembled at the museum and it is now hanging on display in the Discovery Room. "This was a learning experience for all of us, and I know the interns really enjoyed it," says Liz McGhee, the assistant curator of mammalogy, ornithology and herpetology collections, who oversaw the project. The students only ran into trouble when assembling the flipper, an especially difficult area with delicate bones, McGhee says. In the end, a few bones from the flipper and one chevron bone, a bone that lies on top of vertebrae, were missing, and gaps were left in their places.
