aterribleclanging,andthelittlechildrenofthetown,whohadalways thoughtitsuchfuntoseethere-enginebefore,werenowsofright­enedtheybegantocrybecausetheyweresurethattheirhouseswere goingtocatchretoo.ThesquareinfrontoftheSkyscraperwaslled withpeople.Thepolicetriedtokeepthemoutofthewaysothatthe re-enginewouldbeabletogetthrough.
FromthewindowsoftheSkyscraperleapingamesforcedtheir way,and smoke and sparks surrounded the remenwhobravelyset aboutputtingthereout.
Therehadstartedinthegroundoor,butspreadquicklytothe upperoors.Suddenly the peoplewho stood gathered inthe square sawasight,whichmadethemgaspwithhorror.Attheverytopofthe housetherewasanattic,andattheatticwindow,whichhadjustbeen openedbyalittlechild’shand,stoodtwosmallboysyellingforhelp.
‘Wecan’tcomedown‘causesomebody’smadeareinthestairs!’ criedthebigger.
Hewas just veyears old, and his brotherwas a yearyounger. Their mother had gone out on an errand, and now they stood there completely alone. Many people down in the square began to weep, andtheheadoftherebrigadelookedanxious.Ofcoursetherewas aladderonthere-engine,butitwasn’tnearlylongenoughtoreach sohighup.Anditwasimpossibletogointothehousetorescuethe children.

“Thechalk!The chalk!Lookatthechalk!It’smovingallonits own!”
SohystericalandshrillwasNigel’sscream that everyone in the place, including the Trunchbull, looked up at the blackboard. And there,sureenough,abrand-newpieceofchalkwashoveringnearthe grey-blackwritingsurfaceoftheblackboard.
“It’s writing something!” screamed Nigel.“Thechalkiswriting something!”
Andindeeditwas.
91
“Whattheblazesisthis?”yelledtheTrunchbull.Ithadshakenher toseeherownrstnamebeingwrittenlikethatbyaninvisiblehand. ShedroppedWilfredontheoor.Then sheyelledatnobodyinpar­ticular,“Who’sdoingthis?Who’swritingit?”
Thechalkcontinuedtowrite.
EveryoneintheplaceheardthegaspthatcamefromtheTrunch­bull’sthroat.“No!”shecried,“Itcan’tbe!Itcan’tbeMagnus!”
MissHoney, at the sideoftheroom glanced swiftly at Matilda. Thechildwassittingverystraightatherdesk,theheadheldhigh,the mouthcompressed,theeyesglitteringliketwostars.
For some reason everyone now looked at the Trunchbull. The woman’sface had turned white as snow and her mouth was open­ingandshuttinglikeahalibutoutofwaterandgivingoutaseriesof strangledgasps.
The chalk stopped writing. It hovered for a few moments, then suddenlyitdroppedtotheoorwithatinkleandbrokeintwo.
Wilfred,who had managed to resume his seat in the front row, screamed,“MissTrunchbullhasfallendown!MissTrunchbullison theoor!”
Thiswasthemostsensationalbitofnewsofallandtheentireclass jumpedupoutoftheirseatstohaveareallygoodlook.Andthereshe was,thehugegureoftheHeadmistress,stretchedfull-lengthonher backacrosstheoor,outforthecount.
MissHoneyranforwardandkneltbesidetheprostrategiant.“She fainted!”shecried.“She’soutcold!Someonegoandfetchthematron atonce.”Threechildrenranoutoftheroom.
Nigel,alwaysreadyforaction,leaptupandseizedthebigjugof water.“Myfathersayscoldwateristhebestwaytowakeupsomeone who’sfainted,”hesaid,andwiththathetippedtheentirecontentsof thejug over Trunchbull’shead. No one, noteven Miss Honey, pro­tested.
AsforMatilda,shecontinuedtositmotionlessatherdesk.She wasfeelingcuriouslyelated.Shefeltasthoughshehadtouchedsome­thingthatwasnotquiteofthisworld,thehighestpointoftheheavens, thefartheststar.Shehadfeltmostwonderfullythepowersurgingup
92
behindhereyes,gushinglikea warm uid inside herskull,andher eyes had became scorching hot, hotter than ever before, and things hadcomeburstingoutofhereye-socketsandthenthepieceofchalk hadlifteditselfupandhadbeguntowrite.Itseemedasthoughshehad hardlydoneanything,ithadbeensosimple.

Lucy thought it would be worth staying behind and trying the doorofthewardrobe,eventhoughshefeltalmostsurethatitwould belocked.Tohersurpriseitopenedquiteeasily,andtwomoth-balls droppedout.
Lookingintotheinside,shesawseveralcoatshangingup—most­lylongfurcoats.TherewasnothingLucylikedsomuchasthesmell andthefeeloffur.Sheimmediatelysteppedintothewardrobeandgot inamongthecoatsandrubbedherfaceagainstthem,leavingthedoor open,ofcourse,becausesheknewthatitisveryfoolishtoshutoneself intoanywardrobe.Soonshewentfurtherinandfoundthattherewas asecondrowofcoatshangingupbehindtherstone.Itwasalmost quitedarkinthereandshekeptherarmsstretchedoutinfrontofher soasnottobumpherfaceintothebackofthewardrobe.Shetooka stepfurtherin—thentwoorthreesteps—alwaysexpectingtofeel woodworkagainstthetipsofherngers.Butshecouldnotfeelit.
“Thismustbeasimplyenormouswardrobe!” thoughtLucy,go­ingstillfurtherinandpushingthesoftfoldsofthecoatsasidetomake roomforher.Thenshenoticedthattherewassomethingcrunchingun­derherfeet.“Iwonderisthatmoremoth-balls?”shethought,stooping downtofeelitwithherhand.Butinsteadoffeelingthehard,smooth woodofthe oorofthewardrobe,shefeltsomethingsoftandpow­deryandextremelycold.“Thisisveryqueer,”shesaid,andwentona steportwofurther.
Nextmomentshe found thatwhatwas rubbing againstherface andhandswasnolonger soft furbutsomethinghardandroughand evenprickly.“Why,itisjustlikebranchesoftrees!”exclaimedLucy. Andthenshesawthattherewasalightaheadofher;notafewinches
93
awaywherethebackofthewardrobeoughttohavebeen,butalong wayoff.Somethingcoldandsoftwasfallingonher.Amomentlater shefoundthatshewasstandinginthemiddleofawoodatnighttime withsnowunderherfeetandsnowakesfallingthroughtheair.

Edmundopenedthedoorofthewardrobe.Therewerecoatshang­ingupasusual,andasmellofmothballs,anddarkness,andsilence, andnosignofLucy.“Shemustbekeepingveryquietinattheback,” saidEdmundtohimself.Hejumpedinandshut the door,forgetting whataveryfoolishthingthisistodo.Thenhebeganfeelingaboutfor Lucyinthedark.Hehadexpectedtondherinafewsecondsandwas verysurprisedwhenhedidnot.Hedecidedtoopenthedooragainand letinsomelight.Buthecouldnotndthedooreither.Hedidn’tlike itatallandbegangropingwildlyineverydirection;heevenshouted out,“Lucy!Lu!Whereareyou?Iknowyouarehere.”
TherewasnoanswerandEdmundnoticedthathisownvoicehad acurioussound—notthesoundyouexpectinacupboard,butakind ofopen-airsound.Healsonoticedthathewasunexpectedlycold;and thenhesawalight.
“Thank goodness,” said Edmund, “the door must have swung openofitsownaccord.”HeforgotallaboutLucyandwenttowards thelight,whichhethoughtwas the open door ofthewardrobe.But insteadofndinghimselfsteppingoutintothespareroomhe found himselfsteppingoutfromtheshadowofsomethickdarkrtreesinto anopenplaceinthemiddleofthewood.
Suddenlyheheard,veryfaroffinthewood,asoundofbells.He listenedandthesoundcamenearerandnearerandatlastthereswept intosightasledgedrawnbytworeindeer.Onthesledge,drivingthe reindeer,sat a fat dwarfwhowouldhavebeenaboutthreefeethigh ifhehadbeenstanding.Butbehindhim,onamuchhigherseatinthe middleofthesledgesataverydifferentperson—agreatlady,taller thananywomanthatEdmundhadeverseen.
94
“Stop!” said the Lady,and the dwarf pulled the reindeer up so sharpthattheyalmostsatdown.“Andwhat,pray,areyou?”saidthe Lady,lookinghardatEdmund.“I’m—I’m—myname’sEdmund,” saidEdmundratherawkwardly.Hedidnotlikethewayshelookedat him.
TheLadyfrowned,“IsthathowyouaddressaQueen?”sheasked, lookingsternerthanever.

from “Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets” by J.K. Rowling
The end of the summer holidays came too quickly for Harry’s liking.Hewaslooking forward togettingbacktoHogwarts,buthis monthattheBurrowhadbeenthehappiestofhislife.Itwasdifcult nottofeeljealousofRonwhenhethoughtoftheDursleysandthesort ofwelcomehecouldexpectnexttimeheturnedupinPrivetDrive.
Ontheirlastevening,MrsWeasleyconjuredupasumptiousdinner whichincludedallofHarry’sfavouritethings,endingwithamouth­wateringtreacle pudding. Fredand George rounded offthe evening withadisplayofreworks;theylledthekitchenwithredandblue starsthat bounced from theceiling to wallfor at least halfan hour. Thenitwastimeforalastmugofhotchocolateandbed.
Ittookalongwhiletogetstartednextmorning.Theywereupat cock-crow,butsomehowtheystillseemedtohaveagreatdealtodo. MrsWeasleydashedaboutinabadmoodlookingforsparesocksand quills, people kept colliding on the stairs, half-dressed with bits of toastintheirhands, andMrWeasleynearlybrokehisneck, tripping overastraychickenashecrossedtheyardcarryingGianny’strunkto thecar.
Harrycouldn’tseehoweightpeople,sixlargetrunks,twoowls andaratwere goingtotintoonesmallFordAnglia.He hadreck­oned,ofcourse,withoutthespecialfeatureswhichMrWeasleyhad added.
“NotawordtoMolly,”hewhispered to Harryasheopenedthe bootandshowedhimhowithadbeenmagicallyexpandedsothatthe trunksttedeasily.
95
Whenatlasttheywereallinthecar,MrsWeasleyglancedinto thebackseat,whereHarry,Ron,Fred,GeorgeandPercywereallsit­tingcomfortablysidebyside,andsaid,“Mugglesdonotknowmore thanwegivethemcreditfor,don’tthey?”SheandGainnygotintothe frontseat,whichhadbeenstretchedsothatitresembledaparkbench. “Imean,you’dneverknowitwasthisroomyfromtheoutside,would you?”
Mr Weasleystarted up the engine and they trundled out of the yard,Harryturningbackforalastlookatthehouse.
