Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban - Fear and Secrets in the Wizarding World
Madame Rosmerta:
Nobody's gonna come to a pub where they'll get scared out of their wits.
Professor McGonagall:
Professor Dumbledore doesn't want dementors around the place, I can assure you.
Madame Rosmerta:
Now, tell me what this is all about.
Professor McGonagall:
Years ago, when Harry Potter's parents realized they were marked for death, do you remember? They went into hiding. Few knew where they were. One who did, was Sirius Black. And he told You-Know-Who.
Cornelius Fudge:
Not only did Black lead You-Know-Who to the Potters that night, but he also killed one of their friends, Peter Pettigrew.
Madame Rosmerta:
Peter Pettigrew?
Professor McGonagall:
Little lump of a boy, always trailing after Sirius Black.
Madame Rosmerta:
Oh, I remember him. Never let James and Sirius out of his sight. But what happened?
Professor McGonagall:
Well, Peter Pettigrew tried to warn the Potters, and might have managed to if he hadn't run into an old friend.
Cornelius Fudge: [holds up his pinky]
Black was vicious. He didn't kill Pettigrew. He destroye him! A finger! That's all that was left, a finger! Nothing else.
Professor McGonagall:
Yes. Sirius Black may not have put his hands to the Potters, but he's the reason they're dead.
Cornelius Fudge:
And now he wants to finish what he started.
Madame Rosmerta:
I don't believe it.
Cornelius Fudge:
That's not the worst of it.
Madame Rosmerta:
What could be worse?
Professor McGonagall:
This: Sirius Black was, and remains to this day…Harry Potter's godfather!
Hermione: [removes the cloak]
Harry, what happened?
Harry: [quietly; tearfully; yelling in rage; echoes; vowing threateningly]
He was their friend… and he betrayed them. HE WAS THEIR FRIEND! I hope he finds me. Cause when he does, I'm gonna be ready. When he does, I'm gonna KILL HIM!
