Harry Reflects on Leaving Shell Cottage and Dobby's Grave

PAGES: 522-523

As Harry prepares to leave Shell Cottage, he reflects on the sense of confinement he has felt there, despite the comfort of being with friends. He visits Dobby's grave one last time and contemplates how the elf knew to rescue them from Malfoy Manor. The sight of the grave, now covered with green shoots, fills Harry with sadness, and he touches the pouch around his neck, recalling the fragment of mirror where he thought he saw Dumbledore's eye.
