An intense cold swept over them all. Harry felt his own breath catch in his chest. The cold went deeper than his skin. It was inside his chest, it was inside his very heart. .Harry’s eyes rolled up into his head. He couldn’t see. He was drowning in cold. There was a rushing in his ears as though of water. He was being dragged downward, the roaring growing louder. And then, from far away, he heard screaming, terrible, terrified, pleading screams. He wanted to help whoever it was, he tried to move his arms, but couldn’t. a thick white fog was swirling around him, inside him –.J.k. Rowling
About This Quote
In the book “The Boy Who Lived,” by J.K. Rowling, Harry is suffering from a horrible flu that has rendered him unconscious. He is suffering from a high fever and he is suffering from a terrible cold. He feels as though he is being dragged downward and that he is being dragged through a rushing, roaring waterfall.
At the end of his suffering, Harry hears the most terrifying screams; he wants to help whoever it is, but he can't move his arms. The last thing Harry hears before his eyes roll into his head is that thick white fog swirling around him like water, inside him like water.
