Cornelius Fudge
Come now, Harry. The Ministry doesn't send people to Azkaban for blowing up their aunts.

ERNIE! LITTLE OLD LADY AT 12 O'CLOCK!

[After stopping before nearly running over an old lady]
Ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, three, three and a half, two, one and three quarters, yes!

Hey, guys, guys, why the long faces?
MR Madame Rosmerta
[Harry is in the pub in an upstairs room under the Invisibility Cloak unbeknownst to Rosmerta, Fudge and McGonagall]
Nobody's gonna come to a pub where they'll get scared out of their wits.
PM Professor McGonagall
Professor Dumbledore doesn't want dementors around the place, I can assure you.
MR Madame Rosmerta
Now, tell me what this is all about.
PM 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.
MR Madame Rosmerta
Peter Pettigrew?
PM Professor McGonagall
Little lump of a boy, always trailing after Sirius Black.
MR Madame Rosmerta
Oh, I remember him. Never let James and Sirius out of his sight. But what happened?
PM 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
Black was vicious. He didn't kill Pettigrew. He destroye him! A finger! [holds up his pinky] That's all that was left, a finger! Nothing else.
PM 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.
MR Madame Rosmerta
I don't believe it.
Cornelius Fudge
That's not the worst of it.
MR Madame Rosmerta
What could be worse?
PM Professor McGonagall
This: Sirius Black was, and remains to this day... Harry Potter's godfather!
Hermione
[Having learned this, Harry runs out of the room, sobbing, and into a clearing in the forest as Ron and Hermione follow his footprints] [removes the cloak]
Harry, what happened?
Harry
[quietly; tearfully]
He was their friend… and he betrayed them. [yelling in rage] HE WAS THEIR FRIEND! [echoes] I hope he finds me. [vowing threateningly] 'Cause when he does, I'm gonna be ready. When he does, I'm gonna KILL HIM!
