Then everything went cold, as though all the happiness had gone from the world. Figg: Well one of them was very large, and the other rather skinny. Harry: I'm not lying! There were two of them and if I hadn't- Fudge: Enough! I'm sorry to interrupt what I'm sure would have been a very well rehearsed story, but since you can produce no witnesses of the event- Dumbledore: Pardon me Minister, but as it happens, we can.Īmelia Bones: Please describe the attack. Muggles can't see Dementors, can they boy? Highly convenient. Do you deny producing said Patronus? Harry: No, I- Fudge: And you were aware that you were forbidden to use magic outside school while under the age of seventeen? Harry: Yes, but- Fudge: Witches and wizards of the Wizengamot- Harry: I was only doing it because of the Dementors! Amelia Bones: Dementors? In Little Whinging? Fudge: That's quite clever.

Dumbledore: I must have missed it. Dumbledore: Witness for the defense, Albus Percival Wulfric. Harry: You mean, a weapon? Molly: No! That's enough! He's just a boy! You tell him much more and you might as well induct him in the Order straight away! Harry: Good! I want to join! If Voldemort's raising an army, then I want to fight! We believe Voldemort may be after something else- Moody: Sirius- Sirius: Something he didn't have last time. But gathering followers isn't the only thing he's interested in. He's been recruiting heavily and we've been attempting to do the same. Fourteen years ago he had huge numbers at his command, not only witches and wizards but all sorts of dark creatures. Sirius: We think Voldemort wants to build up his army again. Now he's returned and I'm afraid the Minister will do almost anything to avoid facing that terrifying truth. The last time Voldemort gained power, he almost destroyed everything we hold most dear. Now, fear makes people do terrible things, Harry. No one in their right mind could believe that Dumbledore- Lupin: Exactly the point. Harry: Why? Lupin: The Minister thinks Dumbledore's after his job. Fudge is using all his power, including his influence at the Daily Prophet, to smear anyone who claims the Dark Lord has returned. Sirius: He's been attacking Dumbledore as well.

Hermione: Bad Crookshanks!Īrthur: This is very, very peculiar. Snape: Why don't you tell him? Or are you afraid he won't take serious the word of a man hiding in his mother's house? Ron: Hermione, I hate your cat. Sirius: I don't care what Dumbledore says about your supposed reformation. Harry: Snape's part of the Order? Ron: Git. Sirius: Now you stay out of this, Snivellus. Perhaps Potter will grow up to be a felon, just like his godfather. Snape: How touching and paternal, Black. Don't break ranks if one of us is killed! Moody: Sshh! Not here, Nymphadora! Tonks: Don't- call me- Nymphadora! Moody: Stay in formation everyone. We'll explain everything when we get back to headquarters. Harry: But the letter said- Kingsley: Dumbledore has persuaded the Minister to suspend your expulsion pending a formal hearing. You know the spell, Harry.ĭialogue Harry: Where are we going? The letter said I had been expelled from Hogwarts. Voldemort: You've got to mean it, Harry.Kingsley Shacklebolt: You may not like him, Minister, but you can't deny: Dumbledore's got style.For neither can live while the other s-survives. and the Dark Lord shall mark him as his equal but he shall have power the Dark Lord knows not. Sybill Trelawney: The one with the power to vanquish the Dark Lord approaches.And we'd all best be ready when she does. Rubeus Hagrid: It’s changin’ out there.Think of it this way every great wizard in history has started out as nothing more than what we are now: students. But there is something that matters even more, believing in yourself.
