Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix Page #6

Oh, yes. As gamekeeper, fresh

air must be difficult to come by.

If I were you, I shouldn't

get too used to being back.

In fact, I mightn't bother unpacking at all.

This is top-secret, right?

Dumbledore sent me to parley with the giants.

Giants?

You found them?

Well, they're not that hard to find, to

be perfectly honest. They're so big, see?

I tried to convince them to join the cause.

But I wasn't the only one that

was trying to win them over.

- Death Eaters?

- Yes.

Trying to persuade them

to join You-Know-Who.

- Did they?

- I gave them Dumbledore's message.

Suppose some of them remember he

was friendly to them. I suppose.

And they did this to you?

Not exactly, no.

Oh, go on, you have it, then, you dozy dog.

It's changing out there.

Just like last time.

There's a storm coming, Harry.

We'd all best be ready when she does.

We have confirmed that 10

high-security prisoners...

...in the early hours of

yesterday evening did escape.

And of course, the Muggle prime

minister has been alerted to the danger.

We strongly suspect...

...that the breakout was engineered...

...by a man with personal experience

in escaping from Azkaban...

...notorious mass murderer Sirius Black...

...cousin of escapee Bellatrix Lestrange.

Dumbledore warned Fudge this could happen.

He's gonna get us all killed just

because he can't face the truth.

Harry.

I wanted to apologize.

Now even me mum says the Prophet's

version of things don't add up.

So, what I'm really trying

to say is that I believe you.

Neville?

Fourteen years ago...

...a Death Eater named Bellatrix Lestrange...

...used a Cruciatus Curse on my parents.

She tortured them for information...

...but they never gave in.

I'm quite proud to be their son.

But I'm not sure I'm ready

for everyone to know just yet.

We're gonna make them proud,

Neville. That's a promise.

Make it a powerful memory,

the happiest you can remember.

Allow it to fill you up. Keep trying, Seamus.

George, your turn now.

Expecto Patronum.

A full-bodied Patronus is the

most difficult to produce...

...but shield forms can also be equally

useful against a variety of opponents.

Wow, that was really good.

Fantastic, Ginny.

Just remember, your Patronus can only

protect you for as long as you stay focused.

So focus, Luna.

Think of the happiest thing you can.

Expecto Patronum.

- I'm trying.

- I know. It's good.

This is really advanced stuff,

guys. You're doing so well.

Expecto Patronum.

I'll make short work of this.

Bombarda Maxima.

Get them.

Been watching them for weeks.

And see, " Dumbledore's Army"...

...proof of what I've been telling you

right from the beginning, Cornelius.

All your fear-mongering

about You-Know-Who...

...never fooled us for a minute.

We saw your lies for what they were:

A smokescreen for your bid to

seize control of the Ministry.

Naturally.

No, professor. He had nothing

to do with it. It was me.

Most noble of you, Harry, to shield

me, but as has been pointed out...

...the parchment clearly says

"Dumbledore's Army," not "Potter's."

I instructed Harry to form this organization.

And I, and I alone, am

responsible for its activities.

Dispatch an owl to the Daily Prophet.

If we hurry, we should still

make the morning edition.

Dawlish, Shacklebolt, you

will escort Dumbledore...

...to Azkaban...

...to await trial for conspiracy and sedition.

I thought we might hit this little snag.

You seem to be laboring under

the delusion that I'm going to...

What was the phrase?

...come quietly.

Well, I can tell you this:

I have no intention of going to Azkaban.

Enough of this.

Take him.

Well, you may not like him, minister...

...but you can't deny...

...Dumbledore has got style.

Boys and girls are not permitted to

be within eight inches of each other.

Those wishing to join the

Inquisitorial Squad for extra credit...

Students will be submitted to questioning

about suspected illicit activities.

Any student in noncompliance will be expelled.

Harry.

You did everything you could. No

one could win against that old hag.

Even Dumbledore didn't see this coming.

Harry, if it's anyone's fault, it's ours.

Yeah, we talked you into it.

Yeah, but I agreed.

I tried so hard to help, and all

it's done is make things worse.

Anyway, that doesn't matter anymore.

Because I don't want to play anymore.

All it does is make you care too much.

And the more you care,

the more you have to lose.

- So maybe it's just better to...

- To what?

To go it alone.

Hagrid.

Any idea where he's taking us?

Hagrid, why can't you just tell us?

I've never seen the centaurs so riled.

And they're dangerous at the best of times.

The Ministry restricts

their territory much more...

...they'll have a full

uprising on their hands.

Hagrid, what's going on?

I'm sorry to be so mysterious, you three.

I wouldn't be bothering you at all

with it, but with Dumbledore gone...

...I'll likely be getting

the sack any day now.

And I just couldn't leave

without telling someone about him.

Grawpy.

Down here, you great buffoon.

Grawpy.

Brought you some company.

I couldn't just leave him, because...

Because he's my brother.

Blimey.

Well, half brother, really.

He's completely harmless, just like

I said. Little high-spirited, is all.

- Grawpy, that is not polite.

- Hagrid, do something.

We talked about this. You do not grab, do you?

That's your new friend, Hermione.

Grawpy.

Grawp.

Put me down.

Now.

You all right?

Fine.

Just needs a firm hand, is all.

I think you've got an admirer.

You just stay away from her, all right?

He gets his own food and all.

It's company he'll be needing when I'm gone.

You will look after him, won't you?

I'm the only family he's got.

Feeling sentimental?

- That's private.

- Not to me.

And not to the Dark Lord,

if you don't improve.

Every memory he has access to is

a weapon he can use against you.

You won't last two seconds

if he invades your mind.

You're just like your father.

Lazy, arrogant.

- Don't say a word against my father.

- Weak.

- I'm not weak.

- Then prove it.

Control your emotions.

Discipline your mind.

Legilimens.

Harry.

Sirius.

I may vomit.

Stop it.

Is this what you call control?

We've been at it for

hours. If I could just rest.

The Dark Lord isn't resting.

You and Black, you're two of a kind.

Sentimental children forever whining about

how bitterly unfair your lives have been.

Well, it may have escaped your

notice, but life isn't fair.

Your blessed father knew that.

In fact, he frequently saw to it.

- My father was a great man.

- Your father was a swine.

- Legilimens.

- Protego.

Come on, Moony, Padfoot.

Snape. Expelliarmus.

Nice one, James.

- Dad.

- Impedimenta.

Snivellus Greasy. Snivellus Greasy.

Right. Who wants to see me

take off Snivelly's trousers?

Snivellus Greasy. Snivellus Greasy.

Enough.

Enough.

Your lessons are at an end.

I...

Get out.

- What's your name?
