Chaos in the Hogwarts Corridor
Pansy Parkinson: [after a long silence]
What are you waiting for? Someone grab him!
Argus Filch: [running in with Mrs. Norris; yelling]
Students out of bed! STUDENTS OUT OF BED! Students in the corridor!
McGonagall: [snapping]
They're supposed to be out of bed, you blithering idiot!
Argus Filch:
Oh. Sorry, ma'am.
McGonagall: [motions with her wand]
As it happens, Mr. Filch, your arrival is most opportune. If you would, I would like you, please, to lead Miss Parkinson and the rest of Slytherin House from the Hall!
Argus Filch:
Exactly where is it I'll be leading ‘em to, ma'am?
McGonagall:
The dungeons would do.
McGonagall:
I presume you have a reason for returning, Potter. What is it you need?
Harry:
Time, Professor. As much as you can get me.
McGonagall: [as Harry turns to leave; smiles]
Do what you have to do. I'll secure the castle. And Potter, it's good to see you.
Harry: [leaves]
It’s good to see you, too, Professor.
McGonagall: [to Neville]
Hold the fort, Neville.
Neville: [grabs her arm]
Let me get this straight, Professor. You're actually giving us permission to do this?
McGonagall:
That is correct, Longbottom.
Neville:
To blow it up? Boom?
McGonagall:
BOOM!
Neville: [laughing]
Wicked. But how on earth are we gonna do that?
McGonagall:
Why don't you confer with Mr. Finnigan? As I recall, he has a particular proclivity for pyrotechnics.
Seamus Finnigan: [nodding]
I can bring it down.
McGonagall:
That's the spirit. Off you go.
Filius Flitwick:
You do realize, of course, we can't keep out You-Know-Who indefinitely.
McGonagall: [turns to the armored statues, raising her wand; the statues come to life and leave to guard the castle; to Molly, excited]
That doesn't mean we can't delay him. And his name is Voldemort, Filius, you might as well use it; he's going to try to kill you either way. Piertotum Locomotor! Hogwarts is threatened! Man the boundaries, protect us! Do your duty to our school! I've always wanted to use that spell!
