Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire Page #6

"Come seek us where our voices sound."

The Black Lake, that's obvious.

"An hour long you'll have to look."

Again, obvious. Though, admittedly, potentially problematic.

"Potentially problematic"?

When's the last time you held your breath underwater for an hour, Hermione?

Look, Harry, we can do this. The three of us can figure it out.

Hate to break up the skull session.

Professor McGonagall wants you in her office.

Not you, Potter, just Weasley and Granger.

But, sir, the second task is only hours away, and...

Exactly. Presumably Potter is well prepared by now...

...and could do with a good night's sleep.

Go. Now!

Longbottom!

Why don't you help Potter put his books back.

You know, if you're interested in plants...

...you'd be better off with Goshawk's Guide to Herbology.

Do you know there's a wizard in Nepal who's growing gravity-resistant trees?

Neville, no offense, but I really don't care...

...about plants.

Now, if there's...

...a Tibetan turnip that will allow me to breathe underwater for an hour...

...then great. But otherwise...

I don't know about a turnip. But you could always use gillyweed.

Any bets? Any bets? Come on, place your bets!

Step up, mates! Don't be shy.

Three lads. One lady.

Four go down. But do four come up?

Don't be so mean.

Any bets? Fleur's 10-1.

You're sure about this, Neville? Absolutely.

For an hour? Most likely.

Most likely?

Well, there is some debate among herbologists...

...as to the effects of fresh water versus salt water...

You're telling me this now? You must be joking!

I just wanted to help.

Well, that makes you a right sight better than Ron and Hermione.

Where are they anyway?

You seem a little tense, Harry. Do I?

Welcome to the second task.

Last night, something was stolen from each of our champions.

A treasure of sorts.

These four treasures, one for each champion...

...now lie on the bottom of the Black Lake.

In order to win...

...each champion need only find their treasure and return to the surface.

Simple enough, except for this: Put that in your mouth.

They will have but one hour to do so, and one hour only.

After that, they'll be on their own. No magic will save them.

You may begin at the sound of the cannon.

What's the matter with him? I don't know, I can't see him.

Oh, my God. I've killed Harry Potter.

Yeah!

What?

The Beauxbatons champion, Miss Delacour...

...has unfortunately been forced to retire...

...so she will take no further part in this task.

But she's my friend too!

Only one!

Let's get down below.

Krum! Krum! Krum!

Yes!

Ascendio!

Harry!

He's all right.

He's all right. Barty!

Go get him another towel. I want all the judges over here now!

You saved her, even though she wasn't yours to save.

My little sister.

Thank you.

And you! You helped.

Well, yeah, a bit.

Harry! Hermione!

Are you all right? You must be freezing.

Personally, I think you behaved admirably.

I finished last, Hermione.

Next to last. Fleur never got past the Grindylows.

Krum! Krum! Krum!

Come on! Come on! Attention!

Attention!

The winner is Mr. Diggory...

...who showed innate command of the Bubble-Head Charm.

However, seeing as Mr. Potter would have finished first...

...had it not been for his determination to rescue not only Mr. Weasley...

...but the others as well, we've agreed to award him...

...second place...

Second place! Well done!

...for outstanding moral fiber!

Yes!

Right on. All that moral fiber, eh?

It's great. Moral fiber?

Blimey. Even when you go wrong, it turns out right.

Yeah, well done, Moral Fiber. Congratulations, Potter.

A fine achievement. Thank you.

Well done, boy.

See you at Hagrid's, Harry. I'm sorry we haven't spoken.

After all, your story is one I've heard so many times.

Quite remarkable, really. Tragic, of course...

...to lose one's family.

Never whole again, are we?

Still, life goes on...

...and here we stand.

I'm sure your parents would be very proud of you today, Potter.

Bartemius!

Not trying to lure Potter into one of the Ministry's summer internships, are we?

The last boy who went into the Department of Mysteries never came out!

And they say I'm mad.

Now, I remember... I remember when I first met you all.

Biggest bunch of misfits I ever set eyes on.

Suppose you remind me of meself a little.

And here we all are, four years later. We're still a bunch of misfits.

Well, maybe, but we've all got each other.

And Harry, of course.

Soon to be the youngest Triwizard champion there's ever been!

Hooray!

Hogwarts, Hogwarts Hoggy Warty Hogwarts Teach us something, please

Mr. Crouch?

A man has died here, Fudge. And he won't be the last. You must take action.

I will not.

In times like these, the wizard world looks to its leaders for strength, Dumbledore!

Then for once show them some!

The Triwizard Tournament will not be canceled. I will not be seen as a coward!

A true leader does what is right, no matter what others think.

What did you say to me? Excuse me, gentlemen.

It may interest you to know this conversation is no longer private.

Oh, Harry!

Harry, how good to see you again.

I can come back later, professor.

Not necessary, Harry. The minister and I are done. I'll be back in a moment.

Minister, after you.

There you are. Your hat.

Oh, Harry, do feel free to indulge in a little Licorice Snap in my absence.

But I have to warn you, they're a wee bit sharp.

Professor?

Professor. Yeah.

Igor Karkaroff, you have been brought from Azkaban at your own request...

...to present evidence to this council.

Should your testimony prove consequential...

...council may be prepared to order your immediate release.

Until such time, you remain in the eyes of the Ministry a convicted Death Eater.

Do you accept these terms?

I do, sir. And what do you wish to present?

I have names, sir.

There was Rosier, Evan Rosier.

Rosier is dead. He took a piece of me with him...

...though, didn't he? I didn't know.

If that is all the witness has to offer... No, no, no.

There was Rookwood! He was a spy.

Augustus Rookwood? Of the Department of Mysteries?

Yeah, the same.

He passed information to You-Know-Who from inside the Ministry itself.

Very well. Council will deliberate.

In the meantime, you will return to Azkaban.

No! Wait, please! Please, I have more! What about Snape? Severus Snape?

As the council is aware, I've given evidence on this matter.

Severus Snape was indeed a Death Eater and, prior to Lord Voldemort's downfall...

...turned spy for us at great personal risk. It's a lie!

Today he's no more a Death Eater than I. Snape remains faithful to the Dark Lord!

Silence!

Unless the witness possesses any genuine name of consequence...

...this session is now concluded.

Oh, no, no, no.

I've heard about one more.

What's that? The name.

Yes? I know for a fact...

...this person took part in the capture...

...and, by means of the Cruciatus Curse...

...torture of the Auror Frank Longbottom and his wife!
