M Malfoy
[Malfoy corners Harry, Hermione, and the Weasley children at Flourish & Blotts Bookstore after Harry unwillingly gets his picture taken with Lockhart]
Bet you loved that, didn't you, Potter? Famous Harry Potter! Can't even go into a bookshop without making the front page!
[firmly]
Leave him alone.
M Malfoy
[Smirking]
Oh, look, Potter. You've got yourself a girlfriend!
[Places the hard, silver steel snake end of his walking stick on Draco's shoulder]
Now, now, Draco. Play nicely. [To Harry] Mr. Potter. Lucius Malfoy. We meet at last. [Pulls Harry closer] Forgive me. [Uses the silver snake to pull back Harry's bangs; sees his scar] Your scar is legend. As, of course, is the wizard who gave it to you.
[firmly]
Voldemort killed my parents. He was nothing more than a murderer.
Hmm. You must be very brave to mention his name. Or very foolish.
[Indirectly quoting Dumbledore]
Fear of a name only increases fear of the thing itself.
And you must be Miss Granger. Yes, Draco's told me all about you... and your parents. [Glances at the Grangers, who are speaking with Arthur] Muggles, aren't they? [Looks at Ron] Let me see. Red hair, vacant expressions... [Takes a book out of Ginny's cauldron] Tatty, secondhand book. [Smiles coldly] You must be the Weasleys.
Arthur Weasley [Arriving and attempting to ignore Lucius]
Children, it's mad in here. Let's go outside.
Well, well, well. Weasley Senior.
Arthur Weasley Lucius.
Busy time at the Ministry, Arthur? All those extra raids; I do hope they're paying you overtime. [Picks up one of Ginny's books] Though judging by the state of this, I'd say not. [Places the book back in Ginny's cauldron; another book has been slipped in with it, though only Harry notices] What's the use of being a disgrace to the name of wizard... if they don't even pay you well for it?
Arthur Weasley We have a very different idea about what disgraces the name of wizard, Malfoy.
Clearly. Associating with Muggles... And I thought your family could sink no lower. [Arthur glares at him as if ready to hit him] I'll see you at work.
M Malfoy
See you at school.
[Lucius and Draco leave]
[McGonagall, Snape and the other faculty find another message that has been written on the wall in blood]
As you can see, the Heir of Slytherin has left another message. Our worst fear has been realized. A student has been taken by the monster into the chamber itself! The students must be sent home. I'm afraid this is the end of Hogwarts.
[entering]
So sorry. Dozed off. What have I missed?
A girl has been snatched by the monster, Lockhart. Your moment has come at last.
Weren't you saying just last night that you've known all along where the entrance to the Chamber of Secrets is?
[Lockhart doesn't answer]
That's settled. We'll leave you to deal with the monster, Gilderoy. Your skills, after all, are legend.
Very well. I'll just be in my office getting... getting ready.
Pomfrey Who is it that the monster's taken, Minerva?
[Harry and Ron are shocked and read the other message written in blood on the wall] [reading]
"Her skeleton will lie in the chamber forever". [despaired] Ginny...
[Snape is reading a newspaper. On the front cover is the moving image of Arthur's car flying. The headline reads "Flying Ford Anglia Mystifies Muggles"] [furiously]
You were seen! By no less than seven Muggles! [Throws down the newspaper and glares at Harry and Ron] Do you have any idea how serious this is?! You have risked the exposure of our world! Not to mention the damage you inflicted on a Whomping Willow that's been on these grounds since before you were born!
Honestly, Professor Snape, I think it did more damage to us.
Silence! I assure you that were you in Slytherin and your fate rested with me, the both of you would be on the train home! Tonight! As it is--
[appearing with Professor McGonagall]
They are not.
Professor Dumbledore. Professor McGonagall.
Headmaster... [points to Harry and Ron] these boys have flouted the Decree for the Restriction of Underage Wizardry. As such--
I am well aware of our bylaws, Severus, having written quite a few of them myself. However, as head of Gryffindor House, it is for Professor McGonagall to determine the appropriate action.
We'll go and get our stuff, then.
What are you talking about, Mr. Weasley?
You're going to expel us, aren't you?
[smiling slightly]
Not today, Mr. Weasley. [turning severe again] But I must impress on both of you the seriousness of what you have done. I will be writing to your families tonight, and you will both receive detention.
[The Weasley brothers arrive in Arthur's flying Ford Anglia in front of Harry's bedroom window to rescue him]
Hiya, Harry!
[surprised]
Ron, Fred, George, what are you all doing here?
Rescuing you, of course. Now come on, get your trunk. [Harry quickly dresses out of his pajamas and packs up his luggage; Ron puts a hook on the barred window] You'd better stand back. [to the twins] Let's go!
Petunia [The flying Ford Anglia pulls off the barred window and it falls to the ground, causing the crashing sound to wake up Vernon and Petunia] [startled]
Oh! Vernon, what was it?!
Vernon Now what the hell's he doing? [angrily yelling offscreen as Harry starts putting his luggage in the car's trunk] POTTER!!! [turns on the hallway light and starts unlocking the locks on Harry's door]
Dudley Dad, what's going on?! [he and his mother hug each other, tightly]
George Go, go, go, go!
Dudley Dad, hurry up! [Camera shows Vernon unlocking the locks on the door on Harry's door]
[as Harry gives him Hedwig]
Come on.
Fred Come on.
Come on, Harry, hurry up!
Vernon [bursts the door open and sees Harry about to make his escape; alarmed]
PETUNIA, HE'S ESCAPING! [runs after Harry and grabs him by the ankle as he leaps out the window and into the car]
Dudley Get him, Dad!
[wrapping his arms around Harry]
I've got you, Harry!
Vernon Come here!
Vernon Oh, no, boy! You and that bloody pigeon aren't going anywhere!
Fred Right!
George Right!
Vernon NO! NO! NO! NO! [screams as he falls from the window and lands in the garden]
Dudley Dad!
[Vernon stumbles out of the garden and watches the enchanted car flying off into the night sky]
By the way, Harry, Happy Birthday.
[The Weasley brothers enter the Burrow, quietly, as Harry looks around, with amazement]
It's not much, but it's home.
Molly [comes downstairs; annoyed]
WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN?! [notices Harry; kindly] Harry, how wonderful to see you, dear. [to her sons; miffed] Beds empty?! No note?! Car gone?! You could have died! You could have been seen! Of course, I don't blame you, Harry, dear.
They were starving him, Mum. There were bars on his window.
Molly [sternly]
Well, you best hope I don't put bars on your window, Ronald Weasley! Come on, Harry, time for a spot of breakfast. [A short time later, she makes breakfast as Ginny comes down the stairs and enters the kitchen] Here we are, Harry. Now tuck in. That's it. There we go.
Mummy, have you seen my jumper?
Molly Yes, dear, it was on the cat.
[when Ginny sees him in surprise]
Hello. [Ginny shyly runs off; confused] What did I do?
Ginny. She's been talking about you all summer. Bit annoying, really.
Arthur Morning, Weasleys!
FG Fred, George and Ron
Morning, Dad.
Arthur What a night. Nine raids. Nine!
Dad works in the Ministry of Magic, in the Misuse of Muggle Artifacts Office. Dad loves Muggles, thinks they're fascinating.
Arthur Well, now, and who are you?
Oh, sorry, sir. I'm Harry, sir, Harry Potter.
Arthur Good Lord, are you really? Well, Ron has told us all about you, of course. When did he get here?
Molly This morning. Your sons flew that enchanted car of yours to Surrey and back last night.
Arthur Did you really? How'd it go? I mean, that was very wrong, indeed, boys. Very wrong of you. Now, Harry, you must know all about Muggles. Tell me, what exactly is the function of a rubber duck?
Molly Well, that'll be Errol with the post. [Errol bumps into the window due to his poorly eyesight] Oh, fetch it, will you, Percy, please?
Percy Errol...
Percy Oh, look, it's our Hogwarts letters. And they've sent us Harry's as well.
Arthur Dumbledore must know you're here, Harry. Doesn't miss a trick, that man.
Fred This lot won't come cheap, Mum. The spell books alone are very expensive.
Molly We'll manage. There's only one place we're going to get all of this: Diagon Alley.
