Dumbledore Prepares the Portkey to Grimmauld Place

PAGES: 472-475

After receiving confirmation that Mr. Weasley is at St. Mungo's, Dumbledore prepares a Portkey, an old kettle, to transport Harry and the Weasley children to Grimmauld Place. He summons Phineas Nigellus Black, a portrait of a former Slytherin headmaster, to deliver a message to Sirius Black. Dumbledore remains calm and organized as he coordinates the situation, but Harry's scar burns painfully when he looks at Dumbledore.
