[Harry, Ron, Hermione, Fred and George are listening in on the Order's meeting]
If anyone has a right to know it's Harry. If it wasn't for him we wouldn't even know Voldemort was back. He's not a child, Molly!
MW Molly Weasley
He's not a adult either. He's not James, Sirius.
MW Molly Weasley
He's as good as. Who else has he got?
[Ginny joins them]
Hey, Ginny.
How touching and paternal, Black. Perhaps Potter will grow up to be a felon, just like his godfather.
Now you stay out of this, Snivellus.
Snape's part of the Order?
I don't care what Dumbledore says about your supposed reformation, I know better.
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?
[Crookshanks starts to play with the Extendable Ear eventually pulling it loose]
Hermione, I hate your cat.
Hermione Bad Crookshanks!
Hermione Everyone this is Loony Love--Luna Lovegood.
Hermione [Beat]
What an interesting necklace.
It's a charm actually. Keeps away the Nargles.
[Pause]
Hungry. I hope there's pudding.
[The carriage starts riding] [Whispering]
What's a Nargle?
Hermione Granger No idea.
Your previous instruction for this subject has been disturbingly uneven. But you will be pleased to know, from now on you will be following a carefully structured, Ministry-approved course of defensive magic. Yes?
Hermione There's nothing in here about using defensive spells?
Using spells? [laughs] Why I can't imagine why you would need to use spells in my classroom.
We're not gonna use magic?
You'll be learning about defensive spells, in a secure risk-free way.
Harry Well, what use is that? If we're gonna be attacked, it won't be risk-free.
Students will raise their hands when they speak in my class. It is the view of the Ministry that a theoretical knowledge will be sufficient to get you through your examinations, which after all is what school is all about!
And how is theory supposed to prepare us for what's out there?
There is nothing out there dear. Who would you imagine would want to attack children like yourself?
Oh, I don't know, maybe Lord Voldemort?
First we need to find a place to practice where Umbridge won't find out.
Hermione Forbidden Forest?
Harry? What happens if Umbridge does find out?
Hermione Who cares? I mean, sort of exciting, isn't it, breaking the rules?
Who are you, and what have you done with Hermione Granger?
Hermione You've done it Neville. You found the Room of Requirement.
Hermione It's also known as the Come-And-Go Room. The Room of Requirement only appears when a person has real need of it, and is always equipped for the seeker's needs.
So say you really needed the toilet?
Hermione Charming, Ronald, but yes, that is the general idea.
It's brilliant! It's like Hogwarts wants us to fight back.
Hermione [referring to Harry's kiss]
Well, how was it?
Wet. She was sort of...crying.
Hermione I'm sure Harry's kissing is more than satisfactory. Cho spends half her time crying these days.
Think a bit of snogging would cheer her up.
Hermione Don't you understand how she must be feeling? ...Well, obviously she's feeling sad about Cedric, and therefore confused about liking Harry and guilty about kissing him. Conflicted because Umbridge is threatening to sack her mother from her job at the Ministry and frightened of failing her O.W.L.'s because she's so busy worrying about everything else.
One person couldn't feel all that, they'd explode!
Hermione Just because you've got the emotional range of a teaspoon doesn't mean everybody else does!
Very well. You give me no choice, Potter. As this is a matter of Ministry Security, you leave me with... no other alternative. The Cruiciatus Curse ought to loosen your tounge.
Hermione That's illegal.
[Putting a picture of Minister Fudge face down]
What Cornelius doesn't know won't hurt him.
Hermione [Umbridge prepares to curse Harry.]
Tell her, Harry!
Hermione Well, if you won't tell her where it is, I will.
Hermione Dumbledore's secret weapon.
You have no business here, centaur. This is a Ministry matter.
[A centaur takes out an arrow and places in on his bow]
Lower your weapons. I warn you! Under the law, as creatures of near-human intelligence--
[A centaur fires an arrow]
Protego!
[Umbridge makes a shield and the arrow falls on thr ground]
How dare you! Filthy halfbreed! Incarcerous!
Hermione [Umbridge casts a spell causing a centaur to be wrapped in a rope and fall to the ground]
Please, please stop it! Please
Enough! I will have order!
[Suddenly Umbridge is picked up by Grawp. The centaurs charge] [To Grawp]
You animals! Do you know who I am?!!
Hermione [To the centaurs]
It's not his fault, he doesn't understand!
[Grawp get's hit by an arrow and drops Umbridge. The centaurs pick her up.] Umbridge': Potter, do something! Tell them I mean no harm!
I'm sorry, Professor. I must not tell lies.
Hermione [Running up with Harry to meet Ginny, Ron, Neville and Luna]
How did you get away?
Puking Pastilles, it wasn't pretty.
I told them I was hungry and wanted some sweets. Of course they told me to bugger off and ate them all themselves.
Hermione [Surprised]
That was clever, Ron!
It's been known to happen.
It was brilliant. So how are we get in London?
Look, it's not that I don't appreciate everything you've done, all of you. But, I've got you into enough trouble as it is.
Dumbledore's Army was supposed to be about doing something real. Or was all that just words to you?
Maybe you don't have to do this all by yourself mate.
So how are we going to get to London?
[sees a strange reptilian-like thestral]
What is it?
That. Pulling the carriage.
Hermione Nothing's pulling the carriage, Harry. It's pulling itself like always.
[Harry walks around the carriage, where Luna is already seated]
You're not going mad. [lowers her magazine, The Quibbler, which she has been reading upside down] I see them too. You're just as sane as I am.
Hermione What's wrong with your hand?
Nothing. [shows her his right hand]
Hermione Your other hand. [grabs his left arm, and sees his scars from Umbridge's detention] [horrified] You've got to tell Dumbledore!
No. Dumbledore's got enough on his mind right now. Anyway, I don't want to give Umbridge the satisfaction.
Bloody hell, Harry, the woman's torturing you! If the parents knew about this-!
Yeah, well, I haven't got any of those, have I, Ron?
Hermione Harry, you've got to report this. It's perfectly simple - you're being-
No, it's not. Hermione, whatever this, it's not simple. You don't understand.
Hermione [frustrated]
Then help us to.
[practicing stunning spells]
Don't worry, I'll go easy on you.
Hermione [sarcastically]
Thanks, Ronald.
F Fred
[They face off on opposite ends of the room.]
One Sickle.
F Fred
[Hermione floors Ron. George passes Fred a Sickle.]
Thank you.
G George
Shut up.
[Ron gets up; walks to Fred and George] : I let her do that. It’s good manners, isn’t it?
[After Umbridge discovers and puts an end to "Dumbledore's Army"]
You did everything you could. No one could win against that old hag.
Hermione Even Dumbledore didn't see this coming. Harry, if it's anyone's fault, it's ours.
Yeah, we talked you into it...
Yeah, but I agreed. I tried so hard to help, and all it's done is made things worse. Anyway, it doesn't matter anymore, because I don't want to play anymore. All it does is make you care too much - The more you care, the more you have to lose. Maybe, it's just best to...
Hermione To what?
[The trio enter Umbridge's office preparing to use the Floo Network]
Alohomora. [unlocks the door with his wand; to Ron and Hermione] Alert the Order if you can.
Are you mental? We're going with you!
Hermione When are you going to get it into your head? We're in this together!
[Catching them]
That… you… are.
[a short time later…] [dragging Neville in]
Caught this one tryna help the Weasley girl.
[bends down to Harry, as he's tied up to a chair]
You were going to Dumbledore, weren't you?
[viciously slaps him in the face]
Liar.
You sent for me, Headmistress?
Snape, yes. The time has come for answers, whether they want to give them to me or not. Have you brought the Veritaserum?
I'm afraid you used up all my stores, interrogating students. The last of it on Ms. Chang. Unless you wish to poison him - and I assure you I would have the greatest sympathy if you did - I cannot help you. [turns to leave]
[to Snape; desperately]
He's got Padfoot. He's got Padfoot at the place where it's hidden.
Padfoot? What is Padfoot? Where what is hidden? What is he talking about, Snape?
[Pause for effect]
No idea. [leaves without another word]
Very well. You give me no choice, Potter. As this is a matter of Ministry Security, you leave me with... no other alternative. The Cruiciatus Curse ought to loosen your tongue.
Hermione That's illegal.
[Putting a picture of Fudge face down]
What Cornelius doesn't know won't hurt him. [her pictures of kittens mewl in disapproval; prepares to curse Harry]
Hermione Tell her, Harry!
Hermione Well, if you won't tell her where it is, I will.
Hermione Dumbledore's secret weapon.
[Dumbledore's Army flies away from Hogwarts on Thestrals. They flap their wings as they travel to London to the Ministry of Magic. Thunder crashes. Dumbledore's Army arrives at the Ministry of Magic and they run to an elevator. The elevator dings and the lift opens.]
Woman's Voice: Department of Mysteries.
[The camera shows the pathway to the Department of Mysteries.]
This is it. [Dumbledore's Army walks into the Department of Mysteries. They look inside. A low rumble sounds. They turn around to see the noise. They turn back. as he walks] 92, 93 [he pants] 94, 95. [he looks at the floor, echoing] It should be here.
Neville: [looking at the glass sphere] Harry. It's got your name on it.
T Trelawney
[The camera shows in on the glass sphere. Dumbledore's Army looks at it. They exhale as Harry turns around and look back. A faint tinkle is heard. Harry takes the glass sphere.]
The one with the power to vanquish the Dark Lord approaches. And the Dark Lord shall mark him as his equal, but he shall have power the Dark Lord knows not. [Harry looks at it. Dumbledore's Army stares at him.] For neither can live while the other survives.
Hermione [A low, eerie whoosh sounds.]
Harry!
[Harry turns around and walks back to the Army. Death Eaters approach. Lucius approaches Dumbledore's Army.]
Where's Sirius?
You know, you really should learn to tell the difference between dreams... [makes his mask melt away] and reality. You only saw what the Dark Lord wanted you to see. Now hand me the prophecy.
You do anything to us, I'll break it.
[Bellatrix laughing]
He knows how to play! Itty, bitty, baby, Potter!
Neville Longbottom, is it? How's mum and dad?
Better, now they're about to be avenged! [points wand at her; Bellatrix points hers back at him]
Let's everybody just... calm down, shall we? All we want is that prophecy.
Why did Voldemort need me to come and get this?
[whispers]
You dare speak his name? You filthy half-blood!
It's all right, he's just a curious lad, aren't you? Prophecies can only be retrieved by those about whom they are made. Which is lucky for you, really. Haven't you always wondered what was the reason for the connection between you and the Dark Lord, hmm? Why he was unable to kill you, when you were just an infant? Don't you want to know the secret of your scar? All the answers are there, Potter, in your hand. All you have to do is give it to me, and I can show you everything.
[The Death Eaters surround Harry's group] [Death Eaters approach slowly. Dumbledore's Army turns around as Death Eaters approach them.]
I've waited fourteen years.
[in mock sympathy]
I know.
I guess I can wait a little longer. Now!
HR Harry, Ron, Neville, Ginny, Hermione, and Luna
Stupefy!
[The Death Eaters lunge backwards. Dumbledore's Army runs as Lucius shows a hand for the prophecy. They run away from Lucius. Luna sees a Death Eater and falls to the ground.]
Levicorpus!
[The Death Eater goes backwards. Harry and Ron run through the aisles.]
Petrificus Totalus!
[Hermione gasps] [Neville and Luna run away from the Death Eater lying on the floor. Hermione, Ron and Harry see Death Eaters approach.]
Stupefy.
Hermione [The Death Eater goes backwards.]
Stupefy!
[The Death Eater deflects the spell. A Death Eater comes close to Harry. Death Eaters comes close as Hermione casts a spell. Glass spheres start to fall down, eventually hitting the Death Eater.]
Stupefy!
[Death Eater goes away. Hermione squeals as Dumbledore's Army as a figure.] [Ginny screams, Neville and Ron grunt] [all panting]
Reducto!
[The spell hits the figure. Glass starts to tinkle as spheres start falling. As it comes close, Neville takes Luna.]
Get back to the door!
[all shouting] [all grunt] [Dumbledore's Army start to run as spheres start to fall behind them. They turn a corner as spheres continue to fall, eventually reaching the exit. Shelves begin to fall. They fall out of the Department of Mysteries. The door to the Department of Mysteries closes as they fall to the ground. A spell keeps them in air before they hit the ground. Harry looks at the glass sphere. Dumbledore's Army stand to their feet.]
Department of Mysteries. They had that bit right, didn't they?
[Eerie voices whispers. Dumbledore's Army looks at the veil.]
The voices. Can you tell what they're saying?
Hermione There aren't any voices, Harry. Let's get out of here.
Hermione [They walk close to the veil.]
Harry, it's just an empty archway. [The whispering voices grow louder.] Please, Harry.
Hermione C-Come on!
[all grunting] [Hermione whimpering] [All of Harry's friends but him are being held by Death Eaters] [Lucius chuckling]
Did you actually believe, or were you truly naive enough to think that children stood a chance, against us? I'll make this simple for you, Potter. Give me the prophecy now, or watch your friends die.
Don't give it to him, Harry!
[Harry hesitates but hands over the prophecy. Lucius holds it up and a white light distracts them.]
Get away from my godson.
[Lucius grunts] [Death Eater grunting] [He punches Lucius as more members arrive. Death Eaters fly away. The sphere breaks. Harry's friends are rescued. A spell hits the dais. He deflects it. The battle ensures. Sirius takes Harry to a corner away from the spell. Dumbledore's Army separate.] Now, listen to me, I want you to take the others and get out of here.
