Nobody's gonna come to a pub where they'll get scared out of their wits.
Professor Dumbledore doesn't want dementors around the place, I can assure you.
Now, tell me what this is all about.
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.
Peter Pettigrew?
Little lump of a boy, always trailing after Sirius Black.
Oh, I remember him. Never let James and Sirius out of his sight. But what happened?
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.
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.
I don't believe it.
Cornelius Fudge
That's not the worst of it.
What could be worse?
This: Sirius Black was, and remains to this day... Harry Potter's godfather!
Hermione
Harry, what happened?
Harry
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!
