Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban Page #8

We can't be seen.

Fudge is coming.

And we aren't leaving?

Why aren't we leaving?

Are you mad?

That hurt.

Sorry.

We're coming out the back door. Go!

Is that really what my hair

looks like from the back?

What?

I thought I just saw...

- Never mind.

- Let's go.

Okay, go, Harry. Go!

Get away. Get off.

Minister, I really think

I should sign as well.

Yes, very well. Perhaps it would be...

Okay, Buckbeak. Come quickly.

Come with us now. Come on.

Keep trying. Come on. Quickly.

Buckbeak. Okay?

Quickly. Hurry up. Okay?

- Your name only.

- It's such a very long name...

Hurry up now, Buckbeak, okay?

Come on.

Come on, Buckbeak.

Come and get the nice dead ferret.

- Come on. It's here. Come on, Beaky.

- Here we are, minister. Follow me.

- Now, look there.

- Where?

- Look beyond the rocks.

- What am I supposed to see?

Professor Dippet had that ling

planted when he was headmaster.

- Oh, yes. Indeed, indeed.

- And all the strawberries.

- Come on, Buckbeak. Come on.

- I see no strawberries.

- Over there.

- Where?

- Over there.

- This way.

- Let's get this over, please.

- All right.

But where is it?

I saw the beast, just now.

- Not a moment ago!

- How extraordinary.

Buckbeak.

Come now, Dumbledore.

Someone's obviously released him.

- Hagrid?

- Buckbeak.

I don't think the minister's suggesting

you had anything to do with this.

How could you?

You've been with us all the time.

- Right.

- Well, well.

We must search the grounds.

Well, search the skies,

if you must, minister.

Meanwhile, I'd like a nice cup

of tea or a large brandy.

Oh, executioner, your services

are no longer required.

Thank you.

You'll find no small glasses

in this house, professor.

- Come on.

- This way.

This way, now.

- Now what?

- We save Sirius.

- How?

- No idea.

- Look. It's Lupin.

- Immobulus!

And Snape's coming.

And now we wait.

And now we wait.

- At least someone's enjoying himself.

- Yeah.

- Hermione?

- Yeah?

Before, down by the lake,

when I was with Sirius...

...I did see someone.

That someone

made the dementors go away.

With a Patronus.

I heard Snape telling Dumbledore.

According to him...

...only a really powerful wizard

could have conjured it.

It was my dad.

My dad conjured the Patronus.

- Harry, but your dad's...

- Dead. I know.

I'm just telling you what I saw.

Here we come.

You see Sirius talking to me there?

- He's asking me to come live with him.

- That's great.

When we free him, I'll never

have to go back to the Dursleys'.

It'll just be me and him.

We could live in the country...

...someplace you can see the sky.

He'll like that after

all those years in Azkaban.

Harry!

Run!

Let's go.

- What are you doing?

- Saving your life.

Thanks.

- Great. Now he's coming for us.

- Yeah, I didn't think about that. Run!

That was so scary.

Poor Professor Lupin's

having a really tough night.

Sirius. Come on!

- This is horrible.

- Don't worry.

My dad will come.

He'll conjure the Patronus.

Any minute now.

Right there. You'll see.

Harry, listen to me.

No one's coming.

Don't worry, he will.

He will come.

- Sirius.

- You're dying...

...both of you.

Harry!

Expecto Patronum!

You were right, Hermione.

It wasn't my dad I saw earlier.

It was me!

I saw myself conjuring

the Patronus before.

I knew I could do it

this time because...

...well, I had already done it.

- Does that make sense?

- No.

But I don't like flying...!

Bombarda!

I'll be forever grateful for this...

...to both of you.

- I want to go with you.

- One day, perhaps.

For some time, my life

will be too unpredictable.

And besides...

...you're meant to be here.

- But you're innocent.

And you know it.

And for now, that will do.

I expect you're tired of hearing this...

...but you look so like your father.

Except your eyes.

- You have...

- My mother's eyes.

It's cruel that I spent so much time

with James and Lily, and you so little.

But know this:

The ones that love us

never really leave us.

And you can always find them...

...in here.

You really are the brightest

witch of your age.

We have to go.

- Well?

- He's free. We did it.

Did what?

Good night.

How did you get there?

I was talking to you there.

And now you're there.

- What's he talking about, Harry?

- I don't know.

Honestly, Ron. How can somebody

be in two places at once?

Hello, Harry.

I saw you coming.

I've looked worse, believe me.

- You've been sacked.

- No.

No. I resigned, actually.

Resigned? Why?

Well, it seems that somebody

let slip the nature of my condition.

This time tomorrow, the owls will start

arriving and parents will not want...

...well, someone like me

teaching their children.

- But Dumbledore...

- He has already...

...risked enough on my behalf.

Besides, people like me are...

Well, let's just say

that I'm used to it by now.

Why do you look so miserable, Harry?

None of it made any difference.

- Pettigrew escaped.

- Didn't make any difference?

It made all the difference in the world.

You uncovered the truth.

You saved an innocent man

from a terrible fate.

It made a great deal of difference.

If I am proud of anything...

...it is of how much

you have learned this year.

Now, since I am no longer

your teacher...

...I feel no guilt whatsoever

about giving this back to you.

So now I'll say goodbye, Harry.

I feel sure we'll meet again sometime.

Until then...

...mischief managed.

Stand back, I said! Or I'll take it

upstairs if you don't settle.

Harry.

Wherever did you get it?

Can I have a go, Harry?

After you, of course.

- What are you talking about?

- Quiet.

Let the man through.

I didn't mean to open it, Harry.

It was badly wrapped.

They made me do it.

Did not.

- It's a Firebolt.

- It's the fastest broom in the world.

For me?

- But who sent it?

- No one knows.

This came with it.

- Go on, Harry!

- Yeah, let's see.

How fast is it, Harry?

Lumos.

I solemnly swear that I am

up to no good.

Mischief managed.

Nox.
