[Professor Snape has caught Harry in a hallway.]

Professor Snape:
Potter. What are you doing wandering the corridors at night?

Harry:
I was sleepwalking.

Professor Snape:
How extraordinarily like your father, you are, Potter. He too was exceedingly arrogant, strutting about the castle.

Harry:
[irritated] My dad didn't strut. And nor do I. Now, I would appreciate it if you would lower your wand.

Professor Snape:
[Lowers his wand] Turn out your pockets. [Harry just stands there] [sternly] Turn out your pockets. [Harry takes out the Marauder's Map] What's this?

Harry:
Spare bit of parchment.

Professor Snape:
Really? Open it. [Harry opens the map; Snape puts his wand on the map] Reveal your secrets. [To Harry] Read it.

Harry:
"Messers. Moony, Wormtail, Padfoot and Prongs... offer their compliments to Professor Snape and..."

Professor Snape:
Go on.

Harry:
[amused] "...and request that he keep his abnormally large nose out of other people's business."

Professor Snape:
Why you insolent, little--!

Professor Lupin:
Professor.

Professor Snape:
Well, well. Lupin. Out for a little walk in the moonlight, are we?

Professor Lupin:
[to Harry] Harry, are you all right?

Professor Snape:
That remains to be seen. [takes the Marauder's Map] I have just now confiscated a rather curious artifact from Mr. Potter. Take a look, Lupin. Supposed to be your area of expertise. Clearly, it's full of Dark Magic.

Professor Lupin:
I seriously doubt it, Severus. It looks to me as though it's merely a parchment designed to insult anyone who tries to read it. [chuckles] I suspect it's a Zonko product. Nevertheless, I shall investigate any hidden qualities it may possess. It is, after all, as you say, my area of expertise. [to Harry] Harry, would you come with me, please. [to Professor Snape] Professor, good night.

Harry:
[about Ron's rat missing a toe and being Peter Pettigrew] All they could find left of Pettigrew was his...

Sirius:
Finger! But then the coward cut it off so they would think he was dead! And then he transformed into a rat!

Harry:
Show me.

[Sirius tries to take the rat from Ron, but Ron holds onto it]

Harry:
Give it to him, Ron.

Ron:
What are you trying to do to him?

[Sirius finally gets a hold of the rat]

Ron:
Scabbers! Leave him alone!

[tries to run toward Sirius, but Hermione holds him back]

Ron:
Get off him! What are you doing?

[Sirius drops the rat, which runs while Sirius finally transforms it into Peter Petitgrew]

Peter Pettigrew:
[realizes he's not a rat anymore] Remus? S-Sirius? My old friends!

[runs toward the door, but Lupin and Sirius block him]

Peter Pettigrew:
Harry! Look at you!

[walks toward Harry]

Peter Pettigrew:
You look so much like your father! Like James! We were the best friends...

Sirius:
How dare you speak to Harry!

[Pettigrew scowls and runs away from Sirius]

Sirius:
How dare you talk about James in front of him!

Professor Lupin:
You sold James and Lily to Voldemort, didn't you?

Peter Pettigrew:
I didn't mean to! The Dark Lord. You have no idea the weapons he possesses! Ask yourself, Sirius! What would you've done? What would you've done?

Sirius:
I would have died!

[Pettigrew crawls under piano]

Sirius:
I would have died rather than betray my friends!

Peter Pettigrew:
[runs over to Harry, whispering to him] Harry, James wouldn't have wanted me killed! Your dad... your dad would have spared me! He would shown me mercy...!

[Lupin and Sirius yank him off Harry]

Sirius:
Should've realized, Peter, that if Voldemort didn't kill you, then we would!

[he and Lupin pull out their wands and point them and Pettigrew]

Sirius:
Together!

Harry:
No!

Professor Lupin:
Harry, this man is...

Harry:
I know what he is. But we'll take him up to the castle.

Peter Pettigrew:
Bless you, boy! Bless you!

[kneels to Harry]

Harry:
Get off! I said we'll take you to the castle. After that, the dementors can have you.

[Harry is in the room under the Invisibility Cloak]

Madame Rosmerta:
Nobody's gonna come to a pub where they'll get scared out of their wits.

Professor McGonagall:
Professor Dumbledore doesn't want dementors around the place, I can assure you.

Madame Rosmerta:
Now, tell me what this is all about.

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.

Madame Rosmerta:
Peter Pettigrew?

Professor McGonagall:
Little lump of a boy, always trailing after Sirius Black.

Madame Rosmerta:
Oh, I remember him. Never let James and Sirius out of his sight. But what happened?

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 destroyed him! A finger! That's all that was left, a finger! Nothing else.

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.

Madame Rosmerta:
I don't believe it.

Cornelius Fudge:
That's not the worst of it.

Madame Rosmerta:
What could be worse?

Professor McGonagall:
This: Sirius Black was, and remains to this day…Harry Potter's godfather!

[Having learned this, Harry runs out of the room sobbing and into a clearing in the forest]

Hermione:
[removes the cloak off him] Harry, what happened?

Harry:
[quietly] He was their friend… and he betrayed them. [yelling] HE WAS THEIR FRIEND! [echoes] I hope he finds me. 'Cause when he does, I'm gonna be ready. When he does, I'm gonna kill him!

[Harry and Hermione enter the Shrieking Shack and find Ron in a room]

Harry:
Ron!

Hermione:
Ron, you're okay!

Harry:
The dog. Where is it?!

Ron:
Harry, it's a trap! [points to Sirius standing behind the door] He's the dog! He's an Animagus!

[Harry and Hermione look down on the floor and follow the paw prints to where Sirius is standing]

Hermione:
[protecting Harry behind her] If you want to kill Harry, you'll have to kill us too!

Sirius:
No. Only one will die tonight.

Harry:
Then it'll be you! [angrily rushes over to Sirius, holds him down, and threateningly points his wand at him]

Sirius:
[chuckles] Are you going to kill me, Harry?

Lupin:
[enters the room and disarms Harry's wand] Expelliarmus! [orders Harry to step aside] Well, well, Sirius. Looking rather ragged aren't we? Finally the flesh reflects the madness within.

Sirius:
Well, you'd know all about the madness within, wouldn't you, Remus? [Lupin smiles, helps him get back up on his feet, and they hug] I found him.

Lupin:
I know.

Sirius:
He's here!

Lupin:
I understand.

Sirius:
Let's kill him!

Hermione:
NO! I trusted you! And all this time, you've been his friend. He's a werewolf! That's why he's been missing classes.

Lupin:
How long have you known?

Hermione:
Since Professor Snape set the essay.

Lupin:
Well, well, well, Hermione. You really the brightest witch of your age I've ever met.

Sirius:
Enough talk, Remus! Come on! Let's kill him!

Lupin:
Wait!

Sirius:
I DID MY WAITING!!! TWELVE YEARS OF IT!!! IN AZKABAN!!!

Lupin:
Very well. Kill him. But wait one more minute, Harry has the right to know why.

Harry:
I know why! You betrayed my parents! You're the reason they're dead!

Lupin:
No, Harry, it wasn't him. Somebody did betray your parents but it was somebody who, until quite recently, I believed to be dead!

Harry:
Who was it then?!?

Sirius:
Peter Pettigrew! And he's in this room, right now! Come out, come out, Peter! Come out, come out and play!
