Chapter 153

To pick up the story, the situation at the time was roughly like this: Nagini, waiting by the front door, felt a complex mix of emotions upon seeing that the house contained nothing more than two children. There was admiration for Voldemort’s formidable prescience, alongside an inevitable sense of contempt for the opponents. Naturally, Nagini also harbored suspicions. It was certain that the little fellow in the house must have extraordinary qualities; otherwise, it was hard to imagine how a child could drag someone of roughly his own size—another child, no less—across a vast, uninhabited jungle, and how they had managed to successfully bypass the powerful barriers set by its master and itself to ultimately reach the hunter's cabin.
