Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets2002

[Snape is reading a newspaper. On the front cover is the moving image of Ron's dad's car flying. The headline reads "Flying Ford Anglia Mystifies Muggles"]

Snape:
You were seen, by no less than seven Muggles! [He throws the newspaper down and glares at Harry and Ron] Do you have any idea how serious this is? You have risked the exposure of our world! Not to mention the damage you inflicted on a Whomping Willow that's been on these grounds since before you were born.

Ron:
Honestly, Professor Snape, I think it did more damage to us.

Snape:
Silence! I assure you that were you in Slytherin and your fate rested with me, the both of you would be on the train home, tonight! As it is...

Dumbledore:
They are not.

[Professor Dumbledore and Professor McGonagall enter the room.]

Harry:
Professor Dumbledore. Professor McGonagall.

Snape:
Headmaster... these boys have flouted the Decree for the Restriction of Underage Wizardry. As such...

Dumbledore:
I am well aware of our bylaws, Severus, having written quite a few of them myself. However, as head of Gryffindor House, it is for Professor McGonagall to determine the appropriate action.

Ron:
We'll go and get our stuff, then.

McGonagall:
What are you talking about, Mr. Weasley?

Ron:
You're going to expel us, aren't you?

McGonagall:
Not today, Mr. Weasley. But I must impress on both of you the seriousness of what you have done. I will be writing to your families tonight, and you will both receive detentions.
