Dumbledore
[inspects the Gryffindor common room entrance; the painting stands empty and is slashed]
Mr. Filch? Round up the ghosts. Tell them to search every painting in the castle to find the Fat Lady.
Mr. Filch
There's no need for ghosts, Professor. [points to a painting on the next floor] The Fat Lady's there.
Dumbledore
[Dumbledore, Mr. Filch, and all the students rush up to the painting]
Dear lady, who did this to you?
Fat Lady
[hiding behind a hippo; weeping]
Eyes like the devil, he's got, and a soul as dark as his name. It's him, Headmaster. The one they all talk about. He's here, somewhere in the castle. Sirius Black! [sobs in fright and cowers]
Dumbledore
Secure the castle, Mr. Filch. [to all the students] The rest of you, the Great Hall.
