A scene from Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince 2009
Dumbledore

[Harry takes Dumbledore's arm and they Apparate from Hogwarts into the shoreline. Harry and Dumbledore stand on a rock. The waves push the rock forward. Breeze blows through their hair. They enter a cave.]

This is the place. Oh, yes. This place has known magic.

Harry

[Dumbledore takes out his wand and takes payment from his hand.]

Sir!

Dumbledore

In order to gain passage, payment must be made. Payment intended to weaken any intruder.

Harry

You should've let me, sir.

Dumbledore

No, Harry. Your blood's much more precious than mine.

Dumbledore

[Dumbledore presses on the door and it opens. They enter through crystals.]

Voldemort will not have made it easy to discover this hiding place. He will put certain defenses in position. Careful.

Dumbledore

[Dumbledore moves his wand and casts it into the horizon. The light glows.]

There it is. The only question is, how do we get there?

Dumbledore

[Dumbledore steps down. He points to the horizon. Something bubbles in the water. He gets a chain from the water.]

If you would, Harry.

Harry

[Dumbledore hands the chain to Harry. He starts to pull until a boat comes out. It comes floating to them. They head into the place where the Horcrux is. At the Horcrux location, Harry and Dumbledore step out of the boat. They reach the basin.]

Do you think the Horcrux is in there, sir?

Dumbledore

Oh, yes.

Dumbledore

[He uses his hand to summon it. He looks up.]

It has to be drunk. All of it has to be drunk. You remember the conditions on which I brought you with me? This potion might paralyze me. Might make me forget why I'm here. Might cause me so much pain that I beg for relief. You are not to indulge these requests. It's your job, Harry, to make sure I keep drinking this potion. Even if you have to force it down my throat. Understood?

Harry

Why can't I drink it, sir?

Dumbledore

Because I am much older, much cleverer and much less valuable.

Dumbledore

[He takes the cup.]

Your good health, Harry.

Harry

[He takes a cup of water and starts drinking. He starts gesturing.]

Professor!

Harry

[Dumbledore starts making motions.]

Professor!

Dumbledore

[He helps Dumbledore to his feet.] [Dumbledore groaning]

Harry.

Harry

Professor, can you hear me? Professor?

Dumbledore

[Dumbledore feels something. Harry takes the cup and scoops more water. He helps Dumbledore drink.]

No. Don't.

Harry

You have to keep drinking, like you said. Remember?

Dumbledore

[He helps Dumbledore drink. Dumbledore hesitates.]

Stop.

Harry

It will stop. It will stop, but only, only if you keep drinking.

Dumbledore

Please don't make me.

Harry

I'm sorry, sir.

Dumbledore

Please. Kill me. Kill me!

Harry

No!

Dumbledore

It's my fault. It's all my fault. It's my fault.

Harry

Just one more, sir. One more, and then I promise. I promise I'll do what you say.

Harry

[Dumbledore shakes his head.]

I promise.

Harry

[He shakes his head again.]

Please!

Dumbledore

[Dumbledore hesitates and drinks more water.]

Harry.

Dumbledore

[He hesitates.]

Water. Water.

Harry

Water.

Harry

[Harry walks up to the basin and finds the Horcrux.]

You did it, sir. Look.

Dumbledore

[Harry looks at the locket.]

Harry. Water.

Harry

Aguamenti.

Dumbledore

[Water fills the basin again.]

Water.

Harry

[Harry takes to scoop out water, but nothing comes. As the glow fades away, Harry walks to the lake and sits down. He tries to scoop more water. The light is now gone. Harry gets out his wand.]

Lumos.

Harry

[His wand lights up. He steps towards the lake. He scoops water, but an Inferi gets his cup and he stands back. Harry looks around as more Inferi appear.]

Lumos Maxima.

Dumbledore

[Harry casts it into the horizon. Inferi appear.]

Harry!

Harry

Stupefy! Stupefy! Sectumsempra!

Dumbledore

Harry.

Harry

Incarcerous! Stupefy!

Dumbledore

Harry!

Dumbledore

[Harry looks around. Inferi surround him and Dumbledore. Harry tries to tag Inferi away, but is then pulled into the lake by Inferi. He's slowly drowning. An Inferi grabs him by the neck. Harry tries to resist free. Dumbledore casts the fire. Inferi swarm away. Harry rises himself up. Dumbledore casts the Inferi away. Harry climbs back up to Dumbledore.]

Harry.

Dumbledore

[Harry and Dumbledore walk to the exit.]

Partis Temporus!
