Sorry for the delay in updating. Have still been working 12-hour days. JKR owns Harry and Company; I just love playing in her world.

Chapter 33: Carpel Diem

"Dumbledore said he got the idea from Hermione."

"All her hours spent in the library really have paid off, haven't they?"

Harry stood up abruptly, picked up a stone and threw it with all his might as far out into the Hogwarts Lake as possible. His shoulder gave a sharp stab of protest. Madam Pomfrey had cast healing charms on the once dislocated joint back in Hill House but every now and again it caused Harry grief. This was one such occasion.

Harry and Ginny had been sitting side by side in Harry's favourite concealed spot on the shoreline of Hogwarts Lake.

Ginny made no motion to stand, instead she sat and idly plucked petals off a dandelion flower and let Harry work out his frustration on the rocks that littered the waters edge.

"What did Ron and Hermione say? And I suppose Neville and Luna are included!"

Splash! Another rock sailed through the air.

"What about your Mum and Dad. The twins, Bill, Charlie, even …" SPLASH "…bloody Percy!"

Harry bent to pick up yet another rock but now Ginny had had enough. With a softly spoken incantation and a slight flick of her wand Ginny banished the apple-sized rock Harry had reached for, into the waters. Harry turned to her in his temper but Ginny could see the dampness on his cheeks. She stood and walked towards him opening her arms wide and taking him into her embrace. Harry clung to her as though he were drowning in that same lake.

"If he were to get you … I don't …! I couldn't bear it if …!" Harry was so distraught he couldn't even speak cohesively.

In his 'Detention' with the Headmaster that first Sunday night back at Hogwarts, Dumbledore had explained that the Order were now given to believe that Voldemort intended to get Harry by using precisely the same ruse as he had back in June. His arrogance was such that he believed that the only reason for the June failure was the inclusion of certain flawed elements which had been beyond his immediate control, specifically certain Death Eaters. Harry had been woken on many nights at Hill House by his awareness of Voldemort's retribution on those who had earned his displeasure. The wards surrounding the ancient house had lessened the effect of the link between Voldemort and Harry but it had not cancelled it out completely.

So, Voldemort planned a new operation designed to bring Harry to him. Voldemort's phrase 'Potter will be begging to come to me' had haunted Harry for weeks but he had not expressed his concern to anyone save Ginny. The Headmaster, however, seemed to have another inside source of information and it was from that source that tonight's bombshell had been dropped.

Apparently Voldemort had something special planned for the Equinox that was due to take place on the 22nd of this month. No details were yet available but it was understood that a kidnap of someone close to Harry was intended to result in Harry going willingly to Voldemort's side and his obedient participation in the planned activity, whatever it may be.

This, of course, could not be allowed to succeed.

Everyone close to Harry had been given an item specially crafted by Dumbledore. There were rings, bracelets, necklaces and watches. Each piece was designed with three primary functions.

Firstly, special tracking charms enabled the wearer's location to be monitored.

Secondly, in the event of a successful abduction, the item became a portkey back to the hospital wing of Hogwarts, should the wearer be rendered unconscious.

Lastly, each piece incorporated an automatic shield charm that would deflect minor curses and reduce the effect of some of the more major hexes. It was ineffective however against the Unforgiveables.

Whilst Harry appreciated the necessity of these precautions, he could not help but feel they would somehow prove in vain. Voldemort, Harry knew all too well, was persistent and determined.

This had been the main subject for discussion between Harry and Ginny as they left the Quidditch pitch after a particularly gruelling practice. On hearing Ron come up behind them, Harry and Ginny changed the topic of discussion at a rate of knots.

"Well I've run out of ideas. I've given Hermione all sorts of things in the past and I've been trying to wheedle out of her what she'd like for her birthday but she won't let on."

This statement had come from Ginny who now turned to her boyfriend and to her brother. "What about you two? Got any ideas?"

Much to Ginny and Harry's surprise Ron said that he'd ordered Hermione's gift weeks ago and that he only hoped they'd arrive in time. Naturally both Harry and Ginny wanted to know more but Ron flatly refused and they had to be content.

Ron then ran off ahead of them using the excuse that he wanted to shower before going to bed. In the aftermath of Ron's sudden departure, Harry and Ginny realised they'd stopped dead on the staircase. It's sudden movement brought them to a passageway much closer to the portrait hole, and back to the subject of Hermione's gift.

"I saw a couple of things tucked away in 'Witch Weekly's Arts and Crafts section that I thought might be right up Hermione's alley." Said Ginny with a distinct air of superiority. It was obvious to Harry that she was dying for him to beg her to share her idea with him. Harry however knew this game, he'd played it with Ginny many times before and he loved 'forcing' her to give in. Truth be told he also loved to play the game in reverse as Ginny usually ended up sitting on top of him and tickling him mercilessly.

"Oh, yes Miss Weasley and what would those items be?" asked Harry in the assumed formal tones that constituted the appropriate response to Ginny's opening gambit.

"Wouldn't you like to know Mr. Potter."? Ginny was now walking backwards, wagging her finger and, Harry noted with a distinct flush to his face, her hips in a very provocative manner.

"Accursed wench! I will have you at my mercy and then you will reveal your secrets!" said Harry in dastardly fashion before making a dive to catch Ginny.

His quarry was to quick for him however and Harry's dive left him staggering with a stupid grin on his face in the general direction of Gryffindor Tower.

By the time Harry had given the Fat Lady the current password of 'blast-ended skrewt', Ginny was nowhere to be seen. In an effort to get his breath back, Harry flopped down on the couch, his ribs aching only slightly from all the exertion. The soppy grin however was still on his face.

Hermione had been sitting in the big over-stuffed armchair this time and she looked up from her reading just long enough to give Harry an enormous smile before looking back at her text.

"What was that look for?" queried Harry, still smiling.

"Nothing!" said Hermione but on seeing Harry's disbelieving look, she added quietly. "Well it's just that despite everything you looked really …"

"Really what?" persisted Harry.

"Happy, Harry. It's… I dunno, nice just to see you laugh, especially after all that's happened."

Harry's face became more serious for a moment but not in the troubled way Hermione had seen so often in the past. Harry said, "When I was staying in Hill House, Eleanor had this piece of very old embroidery in a frame above the bed I slept in. I asked her what it meant, I knew it was old, Latin or Greek or something, but I couldn't read it. It said 'Carpe Diem' and Eleanor said it meant …"

"Seize the day," finished off Hermione.

"Yeah. Should have known you'd know it. Eleanor tried to explain it as live your life as though each day were your last. Live life to it's fullest and grab each opportunity while you can." Said Harry.

"Life is not a dress rehearsal," came Ginny's response from the staircase up to the girl's dormitories.

Harry turned to look at her. She had indeed had a quick shower. Ginny's hair was hanging loose (it had been tied back during practice) and her face was all pink and shiny. She wore a full-length cotton dressing gown that was untied and fell open to show the matching cotton nightdress beneath.

Harry thought she looked stunning.

He stood up, took the few steps to her side, placed his hands round her waist and pulled her towards him. Harry gave Ginny a very passionate kiss in front of everyone sitting in the common room. He was entranced and only had eyes for Ginny.

The trance was broken by jeers and catcalls from Dean, Shamus, Colin and Neville.

Now it was Harry's turn to blush, especially when Ginny teased him about still being 'fresh' from Quidditch practice, holding her nose in demonstration.

"Ok. Ok. I take the hint." Said Harry as he turned to go up to the showers in the boys' dormitories.

"Oh, Harry, I wouldn't go up there if I were you, Moaning Myrtle's been waiting for a visit just from you." This came from Shamus and triggered yet more jeers and catcalls.

"Harry go down and use the Prefect's bathroom. You'll get peace in there." This welcome suggestion came from Colin Creevey, one of the new batch of prefects. "Password's 'mountain stream'."

"Thanks Colin," said Harry as he went to grab his nightclothes before leaving the common room. It was only just gone 8.30pm and the sixth year were allowed out until 9 but there was quite a walk to and from the prefects' bathroom so as an extra precaution Harry had grabbed both his cloak and the Marauders Map.

On the way these two items lay concealed in Harry's dressing gown else he might have been puzzled by the conspicuous absence of Ron's name in the Prefect's bathroom or on the obvious route back to Gryffindor Tower. As it was Harry was blissfully ignorant of his friend's absence. Ignorant that was until he gave the password and entered the luxuriously appointed bathroom.

"Ron? It's only me. Colin gave me the password," shouted Harry as he pushed the door open. "Ron?"

But Harry's enquiry was met with stony silence. Harry put his things down on one of the benches before checking each shower cubicle. There was no sign of Ron anywhere but the odd thing was the end cubicle had definitely been used and recently. Water droplets were still evident on the tiled walls and even footprints could be made out, although these were now rapidly drying in the magically warmed room.

As Harry looked closer round the room he spotted Ron's clothes lying in a somewhat untidy heap in front of the pile of fluffy white bath towels that lay on the floor. As Harry checked out the pile of clothes he noted the watch given to Ron by Dumbledore. The portkey/protector/locator! It was lying on top of Ron's clothes. Now Harry was getting really worried.

Not wishing to repeat his error of last year Harry opened the Marauders Map and activated it.

After extremely careful scrutiny, Harry was forced to conclude that Ron was nowhere to be seen. Slowly and carefully Harry checked out the bathroom now looking for evidence of an abduction, his heart beating painfully fast in his chest.

Nothing.

Remembering back to 4th year, Harry turned to ask the mermaid in the painting if she had seen anything – but she too was missing.

The thoughts in Harry's head were running so fast he put his hands to his temples in a futile attempt at slowing them down. Then he heard a voice. A girl's voice.

"Harry, I'm so glad it's you."

Harry spun around in shock. He had not heard anyone entering behind him but then he realised he knew that voice.

"Myrtle, is that you?" asked Harry hopefully. The perpetually glum ghost of a teenage girl floated up from the drain the centre of the huge, empty bathing pool. "Myrtle am I glad to see you," declared Harry honestly.

At these words Myrtle actually smiled a shy, mischievous smile and fluttered her eyelashes at Harry. "Are you really?" she asked but, at the speed of light, her countenance darkened, "or do you just want answers?"

Harry realised that Myrtle might hold invaluable information as to what happened to Ron and tried to think of ways to get information out of her without causing her to zoom back down the drain.

Turning, so he could look at her directly, Harry said in a hurt voice, "Myrtle, of course I'm pleased to see you. You know I was really disappointed last year when I wasn't made a prefect because it would have given me the perfect excuse to come and see you regularly. But it was my friend Ron who got the badge and not me and now he seems to have disappeared and I have no idea what happened to him. I don't suppose you happened to see anything, did you?" asked Harry hopefully.

"Is Ron the tall good looking muscley redhead, the one with the funny scars across his chest and arms?" asked Myrtle.

Harry's heart raced even more but he knew he had to play it cool. "Yes that's him. His girlfriend was worried about him and I offered to come and look for him so I had a good excuse to see you at the same time."

Myrtle floated right over to where Harry was standing, he could feel the air get markedly colder and he got Goosebumps on his arms. "Really?" said Myrtle in a more melodious tone that Harry had ever heard before.

"Really," said Harry looking at her right in the eyes.

Myrtle smiled once more. "I wish I had good friends when I came to this horrid place. When I died nobody missed me for hours and hours. It was that complete cow, Olive Hornsby, who eventually came looking for me."

"I remember you telling me that. It must have been awful for you." Harry added with what he hoped was a modicum of sympathy.

"Oh, it was. Them and their stuck up pureblood ways. 'We don't need your type. We don't want mudbloods soiling our house.' Well, I showed them!" Myrtle was chattering on almost forgetting Harry was there. Harry, for his part, was patiently waiting and listening all the while dying to just shout at her 'what happened to Ron?' but then her words sunk in.

"Myrtle, are you telling me that you were in Slytherin?" asked Harry incredulously.

"Of course. All my family have been for years and years. Hundreds of years, I suppose. Why?" Myrtle looked slightly fearful again.

"Well, it's just that you said 'them and their pureblood ways' and then you said that your housemates thought you were a mudblood. That must have been horrid for you too. Why didn't you just tell them you were a pureblood?" said Harry who was totally puzzled by Myrtles words.

"Professor Dippet knew but he didn't want anyone else to know." Myrtle was morosely picking at a loose thread on the edge of her robes as she spoke, eyes focussed on the task to hand but her voice was very grumpy.

"How awful for you," said Harry with real sympathy this time. "Last year I was having some special lessons and Professor Snape told everyone I was having remedial lessons. It's horrible when you know the truth but you're not allowed to say." Harry went on quickly, "I only hope someone knows what's really happened to Ron and are able to tell what they know."

"Oh, but I do know what happened to him." Myrtle said excitedly.

For a split second Harry forgot Myrtle was a ghost and went to hold her hand. His fingers only met empty ice-cold air but the gesture was enough for Myrtle. Her eyes were dancing with delight.

"You were going to hold my hand. You were, weren't you?" asked Myrtle.

"I forgot I couldn't," said Harry sadly.

Myrtle whirled through the air with great whoops of delight.

"Harry, thank you. You have no idea how happy you have made me. I've been trapped here and had to wait until a friend, a real friend, would set me free. When you forgot I was a ghost and went to hold my hand you freed me. I can now pass on if I so wish. Thank you Harry, thank you so much."

Myrtle swooped down and gave Harry a chilly kiss on the cheek, then whispered in his ear. "Ron stepped out of the shower, grabbed a towel and wrapped it round his waist and just vanished."

"Good grief!" exclaimed Harry. "Do you think the towel had been made into a portkey?"

"Must have been. Can't think of any other explanation," said Myrtle but Harry noticed her outline was growing steadily dimmer.

"Myrtle, what's happening to you?" Said Harry.

"I'll be going now, Harry," and with those words Myrtle turned and looked up into the corner of the bathroom where Harry could see a bright ball of light. "Keep well, keep safe, Harry." Myrtle turned to face Harry once more as she floated up towards the light growing ever more indistinct. For a moment the light grew brighter and then, it was gone.

Harry was left standing alone in the middle of the empty room. He walked over to the pile of Ron's belongings once more; the wristwatch was lying on the top, if must have been the last thing Ron removed, realised Harry.

As he stood looking down at the pile of clothes, idly fingering the watchstrap, Harry thought back over the events of the past few days. In particular Harry thought of his meeting with Dumbledore at which he'd been told of Voldemort's plans to get Harry to go to him and that his friends were to be used, once again, as bait.

Well so far, as Harry viewed the state of affairs, the thrice-damned plan seemed to be working!

What should he do though?

Last time he went after Sirius and caused his death and serious injuries to his friends.

This time?

Logic dictated he speak to the Headmaster or his Head of House. He was determined not to go off half-cocked again.

But what about Ron?

Could Harry afford to wait?

As he stood in the still steamy bathroom he glanced over at the large full-length mirror on the wall. It was steamed up, naturally, but Harry could make out words written on the glass.

As Harry peered at the words he realised two things: firstly he had not seen this mirror on his previous trips into the bathroom; secondly he would be able to raise the alarm, if he could wake up – or even find – the mermaid in the painting that hung over the bath tub.

"Hello? Are you there? Can anyone here me?" Harry, feeling rather stupid, shouted at an empty landscape. "Hello? It's an emergency. I need to get a message to Professor Dumbledore."

Nothing. Just as Harry turned away from the frame, an elderly witch with grey ringlets appeared on the beach. "Did you say you need to get a message to the Headmaster, young man?" came the crisp, no-nonsense tones of Dilys Derwent, a previous Headteacher of Hogwarts.

"Yes," said Harry. "Aren't you the portrait that helped Mr. Weasley last Christmas?"

"Yes. Yes, I am she. What is your current emergency?" said the portrait. Obviously not one for small talk, the witch now stood as close to Harry as the frame would permit and he looked in her bright, intelligent and curious eyes as he replied.

"My name is Harry Potter and it is vital that Professor Dumbledore be told that Ron Weasley, Mr. Weasley's son, has been taken from the school by a portkey. I think it was one of the towels in this bathroom. Ron's clothes and watch are here but Ron's not. There's an odd mirror here with a message and incantation on it. I know it's a trap but I don't have any choice. If I don't go alone Voldemort will kill Ron at midnight. I'm going to take Ron's watch with me and hopefully I'll be able to use it to bring us both home OK."

"Harry, you mustn't! It's far too dangerous. Voldemort wants you dead and he doesn't care who he kills to get you." Dilys was now fraught with anxiety. "Listen to me Harry. Dumbledore will be with you shortly. Speak to him first, I implore you. Speak to him first."

"Alright. I promise," said Harry not really with any meaning, just in the hope of shutting her up but at that moment the door opened and in walked Dumbledore himself.

"Ah. Headmaster, I am so glad you are here. Mr. Potter has just made a rather disturbing discovery. Mr. Potter if you will please elucidate," said Dilys in a no-nonsense tone.

"I came in to use the bathroom sir and Ron's clothes are here and so is his watch but there is no sign of Ron. Myrtle was here and she said Ron stepped out of the shower, grabbed a towel, wrapped it round his waist and just vanished! Professor, it sounds like it was made into a portkey. Do you think Ron's all right."? Harry automatically looked to the Headmaster for answers.

"It certainly sounds like it Harry. Myrtle, I would like to speak to you please," said Dumbledore in a commanding voice; when Myrtle failed to appear a frown appeared on his face.

"Er. I'm afraid she can't come sir," said Harry, apologetically.

"Can't? What do you mean can't?" queried Dumbledore sounding more like McGonagall than himself.

"Er. I'm afraid Myrtle's gone."

"Do you mean she's passed over?" asked Dumbledore.

"Er. Yes, sir. I forgot Myrtle was a ghost and I went to touch her hand. After that she started fading and then she …" Harry just shrugged. Not really knowing how to describe what happened next.

"The ghosts of Hogwarts will forever be in your debt for this Harry. They will be celebrating for sure. At this time of darkness and worry, you have brought a little joy to one section of our community." There was a briefly lived twinkle in the Headmaster's eyes, quickly doused by a return to the matter of Ron's disappearance.

"Professor, how did you know what had happened to Ron?" asked Harry.

"I had added an additional warning to the locator charm on each item. If it became separated for it's wearer for more than 10 minutes an alarm was raised. It has now been about 20 minutes since Mr. Weasley removed his watch to have his shower.

Unfortunately knowing when he vanished does not help us know where he has gone. Harry, do you happen to have that excellent map of yours to hand?"

"Yes, Professor, I have it here but I can't see Ron on it anywhere." Stated Harry forlornly as he handed the already-activated Marauders' Map to his Headmaster.

In sheer frustration Harry started to run his fingers through his hair and began pacing around the bathroom; it was only then that he spied something written on the large mirror, visible due to the steaminess in the room.

'Potter, if you want Weasel-King back, come alone and tell no one. Bottom towel in the stack'

Harry stood staring at the words then turned and moved towards the pile of snow-white bath towels. As he was about to grasp the towel a surprisingly strong hand gripped his wrist. He looked up into the unsmiling face of Dumbledore and as he did a sharp pain seared across his scar. Instinctively, automatically, Harry put one hand to his forehead his other still held by Dumbledore.

"Close your eyes, Harry, and tell me what you see," came the Headmasters voice spoken in barely more than a whisper. Harry obeyed and as he closed his eyes he saw Ron, standing wearing only the white bath towel; he looked well, unharmed at least, but he looked furious too! Ron looked up and Harry's eyes followed Ron's. All he could see was a small circle of blue sky with white clouds passing overhead.

He was in the bottom of a well!

Harry opened his eyes in shock. "I saw Ron. He's OK but furious. He's only got the towel wrapped round his waist but it looks like he's at the bottom of a well. But why?"

"Curious," said Dumbledore in a soft low voice releasing Harry's wrist at last. "Come, Harry. I wish to consult by predecessors." The two fell in step as they made their way back to the Headmaster's office.

"Jelly slugs." Dumbledore had been looking Harry right in the eye as he enunciated the current password. Clearly he wanted Harry to hear, and to remember, it. The gargoyles moved aside and the two made their way up the moving spiral staircase to the oak door. Many voices could be heard from the other side of the door that opened silently whereupon an instant hush befell the room.

The Headmaster sat in his chair behind the surprisingly clear desk. Harry sat in one of the chairs in front of it but before either had the chance to open their mouths to discuss Harry's vision or the message in the mirror, they heard the gargoyles move aside once more.

Minerva McGonagall, Ginny, Hermione and Neville all entered the room. Harry and Dumbledore looked at them in surprise. Professor McGonagall was the first to speak.

"Headmaster, Harry, I'm afraid I have some bad news. It seems, from what I've been told that an attempt will be made to abduct Mr. Weasley …"

Ginny cut McGonagall short. "Professor, it's true; but it's already happened. Ron's been taken, I don't know who by but I know he's gone."

As she spoke Ginny automatically went to Harry's side; he clasped her hands in his and the look of panic left her face.

"He's really all right?" she queried.

"He's unharmed, certainly but I'm not sure about all right". The question had been posed to Harry but it had been Neville and the Headmaster who had replied in almost perfect synchronisation.

"I suggest everyone sit down." The Headmaster waved his wand and a number of comfortable chairs appeared in front of the large fireplace.

"As far as I can determine, Mr. Weasley has been abducted from the prefect's bathroom by Draco Malfoy," began the Headmaster once everyone was seated. "He appears to be at the bottom of a dry well shaft." Harry nodded his agreement and the Headmaster continued. "He is uninjured but very angry. The wards surrounding Hogwarts have not been disrupted and I must conclude, therefore, that the well is somewhere within the boundaries."

It was not Harry's turn to speak, "but I checked the map and he was nowhere to be seen."

"As detailed as it is, Harry, the map is not exhaustive. The Marauders covered a lot of the grounds but there are some areas that have, shall we say, 'special' levels of protestation that would keep even the most tenacious individuals away. It is my belief that it within one such area, that the well in question is located."

"Then why are we still sitting here? Why don't we just go and get Ron back?" Ginny spoke passionately and Harry could see tears clinging to her eyelashes. He felt his heart in his throat to such her in such distress. He could tolerate the inactivity no longer; he stood and made to leave.

"Harry, please sit down." The headmaster requested in a voice of irritating calm.

"Why? What good will it do? Will it get Ron back?" Harry knew he was being rude once more but he couldn't help it. Again he felt he was being manipulated and he didn't like it.

All at once four ghosts, the Grey Lady, Fat Fryer, Sir Nick and the Bloody Baron, entered through a large oriental bookcase.

"Good evening, Headmaster, ladies and gentlemen. We have confirmed that Mr. Weasley had been transported to the well in the Dying Dell. But he is no longer there. There was a white bath towel, identical to those used in the prefect's bathroom, lying on the dry well bed, but there was no sign of Mr. Weasley. Nor could we see any recent footprints leading away from the wellhead. It is indeed most odd." The words were spoken by Sir Nick, the others merely nodding in mute agreement.

"Thank you all. Your service has been invaluable." At this apparent dismissal the four spectres turned and left the office, exiting through the still-closed oak door.

Ginny turned to Harry once more; she placed her left hand in his right. Harry mimicked her actions placing his left in Hermione's right and Hermione copied the act. When it came to Neville placing his hand in Ginny's right hand however, he paused.

"We need Luna," he stated unequivocally.

"I think you will find she is waiting to be admitted. Minerva, if you would be so kind?"

McGonagall stood and went to give Luna entrance to the Headmaster's office. She immediately sat between Neville and Ginny and without a word being spoken the five closed their eyes to focus on their missing member.

McGonagall and Dumbledore could only sit and watch as strands of thought? Magic? Energy? They knew not what but whatever it was the strands came together high in the air above their heads and whirled faster and faster coalescing into a brilliant blue/white sphere As Dumbledore and McGonagall watched images formed for brief moments only, tantalising glimpses merging and blurring together.

But what did they mean?

The images seemed to be from above a canopy of trees, now low over a stream that emptied into a black loch. The Hogwarts Lake!

The five opened their yes and the sphere vanished.

The two professors were astonished to see five smiling faces before them.

"Well?" asked McGonagall briefly. "What did you see?"

"Trust Ron." Said Ginny laughing.

"Never does anything by the book if he can help it." This comment came from Hermione who wore a grin from ear-to-ear.

"Wicked." Said Neville enviously.

"Ronald should be along momentarily," said Luna dreamily.

Harry looked at Dumbledore and McGonagall and ran his hand absent-mindedly through his hair making it stick-up even more than normal. "I would suggest you open your window, Professor, it will be much easier that way." Harry said cryptically with more than a little glint of humour in his eyes.

No sooner had the Headmaster waved his want to open the window than a large, a very large, tawny owl flew through it to land somewhat clumsily on the back of the ornate chair behind the Headmaster's desk.

"No!" said McGonagall.

"Yes!" Dumbledore his eyes alight with mirth.

The owl hopped down to sit on the seat of the chair and a moment later it had transformed into one red-haired Gryffindor goalkeeper.

Ron Weasley had retuned to Hogwarts!
