"Millenium breaking disaster..." "All river traffic has been halted and police divers search for survivors." " Surrounding area remains closed." " The man, known to..." "Harry Potter." " Who's Harry Potter?" " Um, no one." " Bit of a tosser, really." " Funny that paper of yours." " Couple of minutes ago, I could have sworn I saw a picture move." " Really?" " While I was going around the train." "  Okay, I was wondering" " Eleven." " That's when I get off." " You can tell me all about that tosser Harry Potter." " You've been reckless this summer, Harry." " I like riding around the trains." " Takes my mind off things." " All unpleasant to be old, isn't it?" " The tale is thrilling, if I say so myself." " But now is not the time to tell it." " Take my arm." " Do as I say." " I hardly just Apparated, didn't I?" " Indeed." " Quite successfully too, I might add." " Most people vomit the first time." " Can't imagine why." " Welcome to the charming village of Budleigh Babberton." " Harry, I assume right about now you must be wondering... why I brought you here?" " Am I right?" " Actually sir, after all these years, I just, sort of, go with it." " Wands on, Harry." " Horace!" " Horace." " Merlin's beard!" " You don't need to disfigure me, Albus." " Well I must say you made a very convincing armchair, Horace." " It's all in the upholstery." " I come by this stuffing naturally." " What gave me away?" " Dragon's blood." " Oh yes, introductions." " Harry, I'd like you to meet an old friend and colleague of mine" "Horace Slughorn." " Horace..." "Well you know who this is." " Harry Potter." " So for love of theatrics, Horace..." "You're, by any chance, waiting for someone else, were you?" " Someone else?" " I'm sure I don't know what you mean." " Alright." " The Death Eaters have been trying to recruit me for over a year." " Do you know what's that like?" " You can only say no to these people so many times." " So I never stay anywhere more than a week." " The Muggles who own this place are in the Canary Islands." " Well, I think we should put it back in order for them," " don't you?" "  Yes." " Fine." " That was fun." " Do you mind if I use the loo?" " No, of course." " Don't think I don't know why you're here, Albus." " The answer is still no." " Absolutely, and unequivanetly, no." " You're very like your father." " Except the eyes, of course." "  You have your" " My mother's eyes, yeah." " Lily, lovely Lily." " She's exceedingly bright, your mother." " Even more impressive even though I could say that she was Muggle-born." " One of my best friends is Muggle-born." "  She's the best in our year." "  Oh please don't think" "I'm prejudiced." " No, no, no." " Your mother was one of my absolute favorites." " Look, there she is." " Right at the front." " All mine." " Each and every one." " Ex-students, I mean." " You recognise Barnabas Cuffe?" " Editor of the Daily Prophet." " Always takes my owl should I wish to register an opinion on the news of the day." " Gwenog Jones, captain of the Holyhead Harpies." " Free tickets whenever I want them." " Of course, I haven't been to a match in some time." " Ah, yes!" " Regulus Black." " No doubt, there is his older brother Sirius, died a few weeks ago." " I taught the whole Black family, except Sirius." " It's a shame." " A talented boy." " I got Regulus when he came along, of course, but... but I'd like to set." " Horace!" " Do you mind if I take this?" " I do love knitting patterns." " Yes, of course, but you're not leaving, are you?" " Oh, I think I know a lost cause when I see one." " Regrettable, I would have considered it a very personal triumph if you consented to return to Hogwarts." " Ah well, you're like my friend Mr. Potter here." " One of a kind." " Well, bye-bye Horace." " Bye." " Alright." " I'll do it." " But I want Professor Merrythought's old office, not the water closet I had before." " And I expect a raise." " These are mad times we're living, mad!" " They are, indeed." " Sir, exactly what was all that about?" " You are talented, famous and powerful." " Everything Horace values." " Professor Slughorn's gonna try to collect you, Harry." " You would be his crowning jewel." " That's why he's returning to Hogwarts." " And it's crucial he should return." " I fear I may have stolen a wondrous night from you, Harry." " She was truthfully... very pretty." " The girl." " It's alright, sir." " I'll go back tomorrow, make some excuse." " Oh you'll not be returning to Little Whinging tonight, Harry." " But sir, what about Hedwig?" " And my trunk?" " Both are waiting for you." " Hedwig?" " Mom?" " Ginny, what is it?" " I was only wondering when Harry got here." " What?" " Harry" " Harry, who?" " Harry Potter, of course." " I think I'd know if Harry Potter was in my house, wouldn't I?" " His trunk's in the kitchen..." "and his owl." " But no, dear." " I seriously doubt that." " Harry?" " Did someone say Harry?" " Me, nosey." " Is he up there with you?" " Of course not." " I think I'll know if my best friend's in my room, wouldn't I?" " Is that an owl I heard?" " You haven't seen him, have you?" " Apparently, he's wandering about the house." "  Really?" "  Really." " Harry!" " Harry." " What a lovely surprise!" " Why didn't you let us know you were coming?" " I didn't know." " Dumbledore." " Oh, that man!" " What we won't do without him?" " A bit of... toothpaste." " So when did you get here?" " A few days ago." " Day or for a while, I wasn't sure I was coming." " Mum..." "sort of lost it, last week." " Said Ginny and I have no business going back to Hogwarts." " It's too dangerous." " Oh, come on." " She's not alone." " Even my parents." " They're Muggles, know something bad's happening." " Anyway, Dad stepped in." " Told us she was being barmy and..." "Took a few days, but she came around." " But, this is Hogwarts we're talking about." " It's Dumbledore." " What could be safer?" " There's been a lot of talk recently that..." "Dumbledore's got a bit old." " What rubbish!" " Well, he's only..." "How old is he?" " 150?" " Give or take a few years?" " Cissy, you can't do this!" " He can't be trusted." " The Dark Lord trusts him." " The Dark Lord is mistaken." " Run along, Wormtail." " I-I know I ought not to be here." " The Dark Lord himself forbade me to speak of this." " If the Dark Lord has forbidden it, you would not to speak." " Put it down, Bella, we mustn't touch what isn't ours." " As it, so happens, I'm aware of your situation, Narcissa." " You?" " The Dark Lord told you?" " Your sister darts me." " Understandable, over the years, I've played my part well." " So well, I've deceived one of the greatest wizards of all time." " Dumbledore is a great wizard." " Only a fool would question it." " I don't doubt you, Severus." " You should be honored, Cissy." " As should Draco." " He's just a boy." " I can't change the Dark Lord's mind." " But it might be possible for me to help Draco." " Severus." " Swear to it." " Make the Unbreakable Vow." " It's just empty words." " You'll give it his best effort..." "when it matters most." " He'll just slither back to his hole." " Coward." " Take out your wand." " Will you, Severus Snape, watch over Draco Malfoy as he attempts to fulfill the Dark Lord's wishes?" " I will." " And will you, to the best of your ability, protect him from harm?" " I will." " And if Draco should fail, will you yourself carry out the deed the Dark Lord has ordered Draco to perform?" " I will." " Step up, step up!" " We got fating fancies." "  And he's made me go." "  At just in for time for school." " Puking Pastilles." " Meeting's in the cauldron, Hanson." "  Peruvian Instant Darkness Powder." "  How real many spinned it at that one?" " Handy if you need to make a quick getaway." " Hello, ladies." " Love potions, eh?" " Yeah." " They really do work." " Then again the way we heard you, sis..." "You're doing just fine on your own." " Meaning?" " Are you not currently dating Dean Thomas?" " It's none of your business." " How much for this?" "  Five galleons." "  Five galleons." " How much for me?" "  Five galleons." "  Five galleons." " I'm your brother." "  Ten galleons." "  Ten galleons." " Come on, let's go." " Hi, Ron." " Hi." " How are Fred and George doing it?" " Half the alley's closed down." " Fred reckons people need a laugh these days." " I reckon he's right." " Oh, no." " Everyone got their wands from Ollivanders." " Harry..." "Is it me or do Draco and Mummy look like two people who don't want to be followed?" " Quibbler!" " Quibbler." " He's lovely." " They've been known to sing at Boxing Day, you know?" "  Quibbler?" "  Oh, please." " What's a Wrackspurt?" " Invisible creatures, they flow in your ears and make your brain go fuzzy." " Quibbler!" " So what was Draco doing with that weird-looking cabinet?" " And who were all those people?" " Don't you see?" " It was a ceremony." "  An initiation." "  Stop it, Harry." "  I know where you're going with this." "  It happened." "  He's one of them." "  One of who?" " Harry's under the impression Draco Malfoy is now a Death Eater." " You're barking." " What would You-Know-Who want with a sod like Malfoy?" " Oh, then what's he doing in Borgin and Burkes?" " Browsing for furniture?" " It's a creepy shop." " He's a creepy blood." " Blood?" " His father is a Death Eater." " It only makes sense." " Besides, Hermione saw it with her own eyes." " I told you, I don't know what I saw." " I need some air." "  What's going on?" "  What's in that?" " What's that?" " What is it?" "  I don't know." "  What was that?" " Relax, boys." " It's probably just a phantom messing around." " Come, Draco." " Sit down." " We'll be at Hogwarts soon." " Hogwarts." " What a pathetic excuse for a school." " I think I pitched myself off the astronomy tab" "I thought I had to continue for another 2 years." " What's that supposed to mean?" " Let's just say I don't think I see me wasting my time in Charms class next year." " Amused, Blaise?" " Let's see just who's laughing in the end." " You two go on." " Wanna check something." "  Where's Harry?" "  He's probably on the platform." " Come on." " Didn't Mummy ever tell you it was rude to eavesdrop, Potter?" " Petrificus Totalus!" " Oh yeah..." "She was dead before you could wipe the drool off your chin." " That's for my father." " Enjoy your ride back to London." " Ennervate!" " Hello, Harry!" " Luna." " How'd you know where I was?" " Wrapspurts, your head's full of them." " Sorry I made you miss the carriages, by the way, Luna." " That's alright." " It was like being with a friend." " Well, I am your friend, Luna." " That's nice." " Oh, about time." " I've been looking all over for you two." " Right..." "Names?" " Professor Flitwick, you know me for five years." " No exceptions, Potter." "  Who are those people?" "  Aurors." " Security." " What's this cane here then?" " It's not a cane, you cretin." " It's a walking stick." " And what exactly will you be doing with all... be construed as an offensive weapon." " It's alright, Mr. Filch." " I can vouch for Mr. Malfoy." " Nice face, Potter." " Would you like me to fix it for you?" " Personally, I think you look a bit more... devil may care this way but..." "It's up to you." " Well, have you ever fixed a nose before?" " No, but I've done several toes..." "How different are they really?" " Um, okay, yeah." " Give it a go." " Episkey!" "  How do I look?" "  Exceptionally ordinary." " Brilliant!" " Hermione..." "I'm here in a minute." " Will you stop eating?" " Your best friend is missing." " Why won't you turn around, you lunatic?" " He's covered in blood again." " Why is it he's always covered in blood?" " Looks like it's his own this time." " Where have you been?" " What happened to your face?" " Later." " What did I miss?" " The Sorting Hat says we ought to be brave and strong in these trouble times." " Easy for it to say, though." " It's a hat, isn't it?" "  Very best of evenings to you all." "  Thanks." " First off, let me introduce the newest member of our staff." " Horace Slughorn." " Professor Slughorn, I'm happy to say, has agreed to resume his old post... as Potions Master." " Meanwhile, the post of Defense Against the Dark Arts... will be taken by Professor Snape." " As you know, each and every one of you were searched upon your arrival here tonight." " And you have the right to know why." " Once, there was a young man." " Like you, sat in this very hall." " Walked this castle's corridors." " Slept under it's roof." " You see, to all the world, a student like any other." " His name:" "Tom Riddle." " Today of course, is known all over the world by another name." " Which is why as I stand, looking out upon you all tonight," "I'm reminded of a sobering fact." " Every day, every hour, this very minute, perhaps... dark forces attempt to penetrate this castle's walls." " But in the end, that greatest weapon... is you." " Just something to think about." " Now off to bed, beep beep." " That was cheerful." " History of Magic is upstairs, ladies, not down." " Mr. Davis, Mr. Davis, that is the girls' lavatory." " Potter." " Oh, this can't be good." " Enjoying ourselves, are we?" " I had a free period this morning, Professor." " So I noticed." " I would think you would want to fill it with Potions." " Or is it no longer your ambition to become an Auror?" " Well, it was, but I was told to have to get an Outstanding in my O.W.L." "So you did, when Professor Snape was teaching Potions." " However, Professor Slughorn's perfectly happy to accept N.E.W.T. students with "Exceeds Expectations"." " Brilliant, um..." "Well, I'll head there straight away." " Oh, good, good." " Potter, take Weasley with you." " He looks far too happy over there." " I don't want to take Potions." " There's Quidditch trials coming up, I need to practice." " Attention to detail in the preparation is the prerequisite of all plan." " Harry, my boy, I've been beginning to worry." " You brought someone with us, I see." " Ron Weasley, sir." " But I'm dead awful at Potions." " A menace, actually so." " I'm probably just gonna" "Nonsense, we'll sort you out." " Any friend of Harry's is a friend of mine." " Get your books out." " I'm sorry, sir, I haven't actually got my book yet and nor is Ron." " Not to worry, get what you want from the cupboard." " Now as I was saying," "I prepared some concoctions this morning." " Any ideas what these might be?" "  Yes, Miss...?" "  Granger, sir." " That one there is Veritaserum." " It's a truth-telling serum." " And that one" "It's terribly tricky to make." " This is Amortentia." " The most powerful love potion in the world." " It's rumored to smell differently to each person according to what attracts them." " For example, I smell..." "Freshly mown grass and new parchment and..." "Spearmint toothpaste." " Now Amortentia doesn't create actual love." " That would be impossible, but it does cause powerful infatuation or obsession." " And for that reason, it is probably the most dangerous potion in this room." " Sir, you haven't told us what's in that one." " Oh yes." " What you see before you, ladies and gentlemen, is a curious little potion, known as Felix Felicis." " But it is more commonly known referred to as" " Liquid luck." "  Yes, Miss Granger." " Liquid luck." " Desperately tricky to make, disastrous should you get it wrong." " One sip and you'll find that all of your endeavours succeed." " At least until the effects wear off." " So this is what I offer each of you today." " One tiny vial of liquid luck to the student who in the hour that remains, manages to brew an acceptable Draught of Living Dead." " Recipes for which can be found on page 10 of your books." " Issue one doubt, however." " Only one set of student manage to brew a potion of sufficient quality to claim this prize." " Nevertheless, good luck to you all." " Let the brewing commence." " How did you do that?" " You crush it, don't cut it." " No, the instructions specifically says to cut." " No, really." " Merlin's beard!" " It is perfect!" " So perfect I'd just say one drop would kill us all!" " Here we are then, as promised." " One vial of Felix Felicis." " Congratulations." " Use it well." " Oh Harry, you got my message?" " Come in." " How are you?" " I'm fine, sir." " Enjoying your classes?" " I know Professor Slughorn is most impressed with you." " I think he overestimates my abilities, sir." " Do you?" " Definitely." " What about your activities outside the classroom?" " Sir?" " Well, I notice you've spent a great deal of time with Miss Granger." " I can't help wondering if" "Oh, no, no, I mean..." "She's brilliant and we're friends." "  But no." "  Forgive me." " I was only being curious." " But enough chit-chat." " You must be wondering why I summoned you here tonight." " The answer lies here." " What you're looking at are memories." " In this case, pertaining to one individual:" "Voldemort." " Or as he was known, then:" "Tom Riddle." " This vial contains the most sufficient memory." " On the day I first met him." " I'd like you to see it." " If you want." " I'm to admit to some confusion for receiving your letter, Mr. Dumbledore." " In all the years Tom's been here, he's never once had a family visitor." " There have been incidents with the other children" "Nasty things." " Tom, you have a visitor." " How'd you do, Tom?" " Don't." " You're the doctor, aren't you?" " No, I'm a professor." " I don't believe you." " She wants me looked at." " They think I'm..." "different." " Or perhaps they're right." " I'm not mad." " Hogwarts is not a place for mad people." " Hogwarts is a school." " School of magic." " You can do things, can't you, Tom?" " Things other children can't." " I can make things move without touching them." " I can make animals do what I want without training them." " I can make bad things happen to people who mean to me." " Can make them hurt." " If I want." " Who are you?" " Well, I'm like you, Tom." " I'm different." " Prove it." " I think there's something in your wardrobe trying to get out, Tom." " Thievery is not tolerated at Hogwarts, Tom." " At Hogwarts, we'll be taught not only how to use magic, but how to control it." " You understand me?" " I can speak to snakes too." " They find me." " Whisper things." " Is that normal for someone like me?" " Did you know, sir, then?" " Did I know I just met the most dangerous dark wizard of all time?" " No." " If I had, I..." "Over time while here at Hogwarts," "Tom Riddle grew close to one particular teacher." " Can you guess who that teacher might be?" " You didn't bring Professor Slughorn back simply to teach potions, did you, sir?" " No, I did not." " You see, Professor Slughorn possesses something that I desire very dearly." " He will not give it out easily." " You said Professor Slughorn would try to collect to me." " I did." " Do you want me to let him?" " Yes." " Okay, so this morning," "I'm gonna be putting you all for a few drills just to assess you straight." " Quiet, please!" " Shut it!" " Thanks." " Alright, um, now then, remember, just because you made the team last year does not guarantee you a spot this year." " Is that clear?" " Good." " No hard feelings, Weasley, alright?" " Hard feelings?" " Yeah, I'll be going out for Keeper's, well," "It's..." "nothing personal." " Really?" " Such a big guy like you?" " You've got more of a Beater's build, don't you think?" " Keepers need to be quick, agile." " I'll have my chances." " Say, um, you think you could introduce me to your friend, Granger?" " Wouldn't mind, eh, getting on a first-hand base, you know what I mean?" " Come on, come on." " Go, Cormac." " Come on, Ron!" " Come on, Ron." " Confundus." " He's brilliant." " I have to admit I thought I was going to miss that last one." " I hope Cormac's not taking it too hard." " He's got a bit of a thing for you, Hermione" " Cormac." " He's vile." " Have you ever heard of the spell:" "Sectumsempra?" " No, I haven't." " If you had a shred of self-respect, you'd hand that book in." " Not bloody likely." " He's top of the class." " He's even better than you, Hermione." " Slughorn thinks he's a genius." " I'd like to know who's that book was." "  Let's have a look, shall we?" "  No." " Why not?" " The binding is fragile." "" The binding is fragile"?" " Yeah." "  Who's the Half-Blood Prince?" "  Who?" " That's what it says right here." " This book is property of the Half-Blood Prince." " For weeks, you carry around this book." " Practically, sleep with it, and yet you have no desire to find out who the Half-Blood Prince is." " I didn't say I wasn't curious and I don't sleep with it." " Well, it's true." " Well, I got a nice chat before I go to bed." " And all you do is that bloody book." " It's like being with Hermione." " Well, I was curious So, I went to" " The library?" "  The library?" " And?" " And nothing." " I couldn't find a reference anywhere to the Half-Blood Prince." " There we go." " That settles it, then." " Yeah, uh... hoping to find you in the Three Broomsticks." " Uh no, emergency choir practice from the freighthorse." " Does anyone fancy a butterbeer?" " A chum of mine was sledging down Clagsby Hill." " We had a very long, home-made Norwegian style sledge." " We hurtled down, we hit what most..." "Ron, sit aside me." " Okay." " Something to drink?" " Three butterbeers and some ginger in mine, please." " Oh, bloody hell." " Ron, see they're only holding hands." " And snogging." "  I'd like to leave." "  What?" " You can't be serious." "  That happens to be my sister." "  So?" " What if she looked at me and saw you snogging me?" " Would you expect her to get up and leave?" "  Hey, my boy." "  So wonderful to see you." " And you, and you." " So what brings you here?" " Oh, Three Broomsticks and I go way back further than I care to admit." " I could remember when it was One Broomstick." " All hands on deck, Granger." " Listen, my boy, in the old days, I used to throw together the occassional supper party." " Select a student or two." " Would you be game?" " I consider it an honor, sir." " You'd be welcome too, Granger." "  I'd be delighted, sir." "  Splendid!" " Look for my owl." " Good to see you, Wallenby." " What are you playing at?" " Dumbledore's asked me to get to know him." "  Get to know him?" "  Dunno." " It must be important." " If it wasn't, Dumbledore wouldn't ask." " You got a little bit..." "Katie, we don't know what it could be." "  Harry, what..." " I know what I'm doing." " Did you hear what she was saying back in the pub there on me and her snogging?" " I warned her." " I warned her not to touch it." " Don't get any closer!" " Get back, all of you." " Oh no, no, no." " Do not touch that, except for the wrappings." " Do you understand?" " You're sure Katie did not have this in her possession when she entered the Three Broomsticks?" " It's like I said." " She left to go to the loo." " And when she came back, she had the package." " She said it was important that she deliver it." "  Did she say to whom?" "  To Professor Dumbledore." " Very well." " Thank you, Leanne." " You may go." " Why is it when something happens, it is always you three?" " Believe me, Professor," "I've been asking myself the same question for six years." " Oh, Severus." " What do you think?" " I think Ms. Bell is lucky to be alive." " She was cursed, wasn't she?" " I know Katie." " Off the Quidditch pitch, she wouldn't hurt a fly." " If she was delivering that to Professor Dumbledore, she wasn't doing it knowingly." " Yes, she was cursed." " It was Malfoy." " That is a very serious accusation, Potter." " Indeed." " Your evidence?" " I just know." " You "just" know." " Once again, you're astonished with your gifts, Potter." " Gifts mere mortals can only dream of possessing." " How grand it must be to be the Chosen One." " I suggest you go back to your dormitories." " All of you." " What do you suppose Dean sees in her" " Ginny?" " And what does she see in him?" " Dean-- He's brilliant." " You called him slick git not five hours ago." " Yeah, well, he was running his hands all over my sister, wasn't he?" " Something snaps." " You've got to hate him, you know?" " Old principle." " I suppose." " So what do you think he sees in her?" " I don't know." " She's smart, funny, attractive" "Attractive?" " You know, she's got nice skin." " Skin?" " You're saying Dean's dating my sister because of her skin?" " For blood, I mean." " I'm just--I'm just saying it could be a contributing factor." " Hermione's got nice skin." " When you say it, as skin goes, I mean." " I've never really thought about it." " But I suppose, yeah." " Very nice." " I think I'll be going to sleep now." " Right." " So tell me, Cormac, do you see anything of your uncle Tiberius these days?" " Yes, sir, in fact I'm meant to get hunting with him and the Minister of Magic over the holidays." " Oh, well, be sure to give them both my best." " And what about your uncle, Belby?" " For those of you who don't know well," "Marcus' uncle invented the Wolfsbane Potion." " Is he working on anything new?" " I don't know." " He and my dad don't get along." "' Prolly cause my dad says potions are rubbish." " His only potion worth having is a stiff one at the end of the day." " And what about you, Ms. Granger, what exactly does your family do in the Muggle world?" " My parents are dentists." " They attend to people's teeth." " Fascinating." " And is that considered a dangerous profession?" " No." " Although, one boy, Robby Fenwich, did bite my father once." " He needed ten stitches." " Ah, Ms. Weasley." " Come in, come in." " Look, her eyes." " They've been fighting again." " Her and Dean." " Sorry, I'm not usually late." " No matter, just in time for dessert." " That is if Belby has left you any." "  What?" "  Nothing." " Goodbye." " Bye-bye." " Potter!" " I'm sorry, sir, I was just admiring your hourglass." " Ah yes, most intriguing object." " The sand runs in accordance with the quality of the conversation." " It is stimulating, the sand runs slowly." "  If it is not..." " I think I'll be going, then." " Nonsense." " You have nothing to fear, dear boy." " Actually, some of your classmates..." "Well, let's just say they're unlikely to make the shelf." " Shelf, sir?" " Anyone who aspires to be anyone hopes to end up here." " But then again, you already are someone, aren't you, Harry?" " Did Voldemort ever make the shelf, sir?" " You knew him, didn't you, sir?" " Tom Riddle?" " You were his teacher." " Mr. Riddle had a number of teachers who was here at Hogwarts." " What was he like?" " I'm sorry, sir." " Forgive me." " He killed my parents." " Of course, it's only natural you should want to know more." " But I'm afraid I must disappoint you, Harry." " When I first met young Mr. Riddle, he was a quiet, albeit brilliant boy, committed to becoming a first-grade wizard." " Not unlike others I've known." " Not unlike yourself, in fact." " If the monster existed, it was very deep within." " You okay, Ron?" " I'm counting on you, Ron." " I've 2 games on Gryffindor, ya?" "  Be good, Ron." "  Loser!" " What's he wearing?" "  So how was it, then?" "  How is what?" "  Your dinner party?" "  Pretty boring actually." " But I think Harry enjoyed dessert." " Slughorn's having Christmas, do you know?" " I'm about to bring someone." " I expect you'll be bringing McLaggen." " He's in the Slug Club, isn't he?" " Actually, I was going to ask you." " Really?" " Good luck today, Ron." " I know you'll be brilliant." " I'm resigning." " After today's match, McLaggen can have my spot." " Are you alright?" "  Juice?" "  Sure." " Hello, everyone." " You look dreadful, Ron." " Is that why you put something in his cup?" " Is it a tonic?" " Liquid luck." " Don't drink it, Ron." "  You could be expelled for that." "  What are we talking about?" " Come on, Harry, we've got a game to win." "  Weasley!" " Weasley!" " Weasley!" "  Weasley!" " Weasley!" " Weasley!" " You shouldn't have done it." " I know." " I supposed I could have just used the Confundus charm." " That was different." " That was try-outs, this was a natural game." " You didn't put in?" " Ron only thought you did." " Charm spell." " Just practising." " Very good." " How does it feel, Harry?" " When you see Dean with Ginny?" " I know." " I see the way you look at her." " You're my best friend." " Oops!" " I think this room's taken." " What's with the birds?" " Oppugno." " It feels like this." " I can't help it if she's got her knickers in a twist." " What Lav and I have, well, let's just say, there's no stopping it." " It's chemical." " Will it last?" " Who knows?" " Point is I'm a free agent." " He's at perfect liberty to kiss whomever he likes." " I really couldn't care less." " Was I under the impression he and I would be attending Slughorn's Christmas party together?" " Yes." " Now, given the circumstances," "I had to make other arrangements." "  Have you?" "  Yes." " Why?" " Well, I just thought seeing is not the risk at going with who we'd really like to," "We should go together, as friends." " Why didn't I think of that?" " Who are you going with?" " Um, it's a surprise." " Anyways, you have got to worry about." " You can't take anyone." " You see that girl over there?" " That's Romilda Vane." " Harry, she's been been trying to smuggle you a love potion." " Really?" " Hey!" " She's only interested in you because she thinks you're the Chosen One." " But I am the Chosen One." " Okay, sorry, um..." "Kidding." " I'll ask someone I like." " Someone cool." " I've never been to this part of the castle." " At least, not while awake." " I sleep-walk, you see." " That's why I wear shoes to bed." " Harmonia nictere passus." " Harmonia nictere passus." " Harmonia nictere passus." " Drink?" " Neville." " I didn't get into the Slug Club." " It's okay, though." " He's got Melvin hanging up towels in the looroom." " I'm--I'm fine, mate." " Thanks." " Okay." " Hermione, what are you doing?" " What happened to you?" " No, I've just escaped." " I mean, I left Cormac under the mistletoe." " Cormac?" " That's who you invited?" " I thought it would annoy Ron the most." " Thank you very much." " We will catch up with you." " He's got more tentacles than a Snargaluff plant." "  Dragon tails?" "  No, I'm fine, thank you." " Just this one." " They give one horribly bad breath." " On second thoughts, it might keep Cormac away." " God, here he comes." " I think she just went to paddle her nose." " She's a little minx, your friend." " Nice to work." " How nasty isn't she?" " Yeah, yeah, yeah." " What is this I'm eating, by the way?" " Dragon balls." " You've just brought yourself a month's detention, McLaggen." " Not so quick, Potter." " Sir, I really think I should rejoin the party." " My date" "Can surely survive your absence for another minute or two." " Besides, I only wish to convey a message." "  Message?" "  From Professor Dumbledore." " He asked me to give you his best and he hopes you enjoy your holidays." " He..." "He's travelling." " And he won't return until term resumes." " Travelling where?" " How are you?" " Get your hands off me, you filthy Squibb." " Professor Slughorn, sir." " I just discovered this boy lurking in an upstairs corridor." " He claims to have been invited to your party." " Okay, okay, I was gate-crashing." " Happy?" " I'll escort him out." " Certainly, Professor." " Alright, everyone carry on, carry on." " Maybe I did hex that Bell girl." " Maybe I didn't." " What about you?" " I swore to protect you." " I made the Unbreakable Vow." " I don't need protection." " I was chosen for this." " I don't know what all this mean," " but I won't fail him." "  You're afraid, Draco." " You attempt to consider, but it's obvious," " let me assist you." "  No." " I was chosen." " This is my moment." " Unbreakable Vow." " You sure that's what Snape said?" " Positive." " Why?" " It's just, you can't break an Unbreakable Vow." " I-I worked that much out for myself, funny enough." " I don't understand." " Oh bloody hell." " I miss you." " Lovely." " All she wants to do is snog me." " My lips are getting chapped, look." " Then I'll take your word for it." " So what happens to you?" " What happens if you break an Unbreakable Vow?" " You die." " Voldemort has chosen Draco Malfoy for a mission?" "  I know it sounds mad." "  Has it occured to you, Harry, that Snape was simply pretending to offer Draco help so he could find out what he was up to?" " Ginny!" " That's not what it sounded like." " Perhaps Harry is right, Remus." " I mean, to make an Unbreakable Vow" "It comes down to whether or not you trust Dumbledore's judgement." " Dumbledore trusts Snape, therefore, I do." " Dumbledore can make mistakes." "  He said so himself." "  You are blinded by hatred." "  I'm not." "  Yes, you are." " People are disappearing, Harry." " Daily." " We could only place our trust in a handful of people." " If we started fighting amongst ourselves, we're doomed." " Ginny!" " Open up, you." " Don't you trust me?" " It's good." " Just, uh, get..." " Pie?" "  Not for me." " No." " You'll have to forgive Remus." " It takes its toll, his condition." " Are you alright, Mr. Weasley?" " We're being followed, all of us." " Most days, Molly doesn't leave the house." " It's not been easy." " Did you get my owl?" " Yes, I did." " If Dumbledore is traveling, then perhaps news to the Ministry, but perhaps that's the way Dumbledore wants it." " As for Draco Malfoy..." "I know a bit more." "  Go on." "  I sent an agent to Borgin and Burkes." " I think from what you described..." "What you and Ron saw at the end of summer, the object that Draco is so interested in," "is a Vanishing Cabinet." " A "Vanishing Cabinet"?" " They were all the rage when Voldemort first rose to power." " You can see the appeal." " Should the Death Eaters come knocking, one simply have to slip inside and disappear for an hour or two." " It transports you practically anywhere." " Tricky contraptions, though." " Very temperamental." " What happened to it?" " The one at Borgin and Burkes?" " Nothing." " It's still there." " It was delicious, Molly, really." " Are you sure you won't stay?" " No, we should go." " The first night of the cycle's always the worst." " Remus?" " Sweetheart." " Has Ron gone to bed?" " Um, not yet." " No." " Shoelace..." "Merry Christmas, Harry." " Merry Christmas." "  Harry, no!" "  Harry!" " Remus." " Ginny!" " I killed Sirius Black!" " I killed Sirius Black!" " You coming to get me?" " Get me!" " He's trying to get me!" " Harry?" " Stupefy!" " Harry!" " Ginny!" " Molly." " It's so easy for them to get to you." " You're bloody lucky you weren't killed." " You have to realise who you are, Harry!" " I know who I am, Hermione, alright." " Sorry." " Hon, go somewhere." " That's my Won-Won." " Excuse me, I have to go and vomit." "... Always you ruin half the start." " Sir, is it true that Professor Merrythought is retiring?" " Tom, I couldn't tell you if I knew, could I?" " And by the way, thank you for the pineapple." " You're quite right." " It is my favorite." " But how did you know?" " Intuition." " Good gracious, is it that time already?" " Off you go, boys, or Professor Dippett will have us all in detention." " Look sharp, Tom." " Don't be caught out of bed after hours." " Is something on your mind, Tom?" " Yes, sir." " See, I couldn't think of anyone else to go to." " The other professors..." "Well, they're not like you." " They might misunderstand." " Go on." " I was in the library the other night." " In the restricted section." " And I picked something rather odd about this rare magic." " I thought perhaps, you could illuminate me." " It's called, as I understand it, Hor..." "I beg your pardon?" " I don't know anything about such things and if I did, I wouldn't tell you." " Now get out of here at once and don't let me ever catch you mentioning them again!" " Confused?" " I'd be surprised if you weren't." " I don't understand." " What happened?" " This is perhaps the most important memory I had collected." " It is also a lie." " This memory has been tempered with by the same person whose memory it is." " Our old friend, Professor Slughorn." " But why would he temper with his own memory?" " I suspect he's ashamed of it." " Why?" " Why, indeed." " I asked you to get to know Professor Slughorn and you had done so." " Now I want you to persuade him to divulge his true memory." " Any way you can." " I don't know him that well, sir." " This memory is everything." " Without it, we are blind." " Without it, we leave the fate of our world to chance." " You have no choice." " You must not fail." " I highly recommend, reacquaint yourself with the chapter on antidotes." " Now, I'll tell you more about bezoars in our next class." " Right, off you go." " Elise, don't forget your rat tail." " Aha!" " It isn't the Prince of Potions himself!" " What do I owe this pleasure?" " Oh, sir, I wondered if I wanted to ask you something." " Ask away, dear boy." " Ask away." " Well, you see the other day, I was in the library in the restricted section, and I came across something rather odd about a very rare piece of magic." " Yes, what was this rare piece of magic?" " Well, I don't know, but I can't remember the name exactly." " But it just got me wondering, are there some kinds of magic you're not allowed to teach us?" " I'm Potions Master, Harry," "I think your question better be posed to Professor Snape." " Yes, he and I don't exactly see eye-to-eye, sir." " What I mean to say is..." "Well, he's not like you." " He might misunderstand." " Yes, it would be no light without the dark." " And so it is with magic, myself I always strive to live within the light." " I suggest you do the same." " Is that what you told Tom Riddle, sir, when he came asking questions?" " Dumbledore put you up to this, didn't he?" " Didn't he?" " Yes?" " Oh, it's you, Potter." " I-I'm sorry, I'm busy at the moment." " That's beautiful, isn't it?" " The moon." " Divine." " Had ourselves a little late night snack, did we?" " It was on your bed, the box." " I just thought I'd try one." " Or twenty?" " I can't stop thinking about her, Harry." " Honestly, you know, I reckon she was starting to annoy you." " She could never annoy me." " I think I love her." " Well, brilliant." " Do you think she knows I exist?" " I very well hope so." " She's been snogging you for three months." " Snogging?" " Who are you talking about?" " Who are you talking about?" " Romilda, of course." " Romilda Vane." " Okay, very funny." " What was that for?" " It's no joke." "  I'm in love with her!" "  Alright, fine." " You're in love with her." " Have you ever actually met her?" " No." " Can you introduce me?" " Come on, Ron." " I will introduce you to Romilda Vane." " I'm sorry, sir." " I wouldn't bother you if it weren't absolutely essential." "  Where's Romilda?" "  What's the matter with Wimby?" " Very powerful love potion." " Very well, better bring him in." " I always thought you could whip up a remedy for this is in no time, Harry." " Well, I-I thought this called for more practised hands, sir." " Hello, darling." " Fancy a drink?" " Perhaps, you're right." " I'm sorry, by the way, Professor, about earlier today." " Our misunderstanding." " Oh, not at all." " Old water under the bridge, you know." " Correct?" " Well, I expect you're tired a bit, after all these years." " And the questions about Voldemort." " Don't use that name!" " Here you go, boy." " Bottom's up." "  What's this?" "  Tonic for the nerves." " What happened to me?" "  A love potion." "  A bloody strong one at there." "  I feel really bad." "  You need to pick me up, my boy." " Got butterbeer, wine, dazzling oak-matured mead." " I had other intentions for this, but I think, given the circumstances." " Here you are, Potter." " To life!" " Ron!" " Ron!" " Professor, do something." " I-I don't understand!" " Come on, Ron, breathe!" " These girls..." "They're gonna kill me." " Quick thinking on your part, Harry, using a bezoar." " You should be very proud of your student, Horace." " Ah, yes." " Very proud." " I think we agree Potter's actions were heroic." " The question is:" "Why were they necessary?" " I, indeed." " This appears to be a gift, Horace." " You don't remember who gave you this bottle?" " By the way, it possesses remarkably subtle hints of liquorice and cherry." " When not polluted with poison." " Actually, I had intended to give it as a gift, myself." " To whom, might I ask?" " To you, headmaster." " Where is he?" " Where's my Won-Won?" " Has he been asking for me?" " What's she doing here?" " I might ask you the same question." " I happen to be his girlfriend." " And I happen to be his..." "friend." " Don't make me laugh." " You haven't spoken in weeks." " I suppose you want to make up with him now that he's suddenly all interesting." " He's been poisoned, you daft dimbo!" " And for the record, I've always found him interesting." " See?" " He senses my presence." " Don't worry, Won-Won." " I'm here." " I'm here." " Hermione." " Hermione." " Hermione." " Oh to be young and to feel love's keen sting." " Well, come over, everybody." " Mr. Weasley's well attended." " About time, don't you think?" " Thank you." " Just shut up." " Stop it, Ron." " You're making it snow." " Tell me how I broke up with Lavender again." " Well, she came to visit you in the hospital." " And you talked." " I don't believe it was a particularly long conversation." " Don't get me wrong." " I'm bloody thrilled to be shot of her's." " She seems a bit..." "put out." " Yes, um..." "She does, isn't she?" " You say you don't remember anything from that night." " Anything at all?" " There is something." " It can't be." " I was completely boggled, didn't I?" " Boggled." " Harry..." "That's Katie." " Katie Bell." " Katie, how are you?" " I know you're going to ask, Harry." " But I don't know who cursed me." " I've been trying to remember." " Honestly." " But I just can't." " Katie." " I know what you did, Malfoy." " You hexed it, didn't you?" " Sectumsempra!" " You have to get rid of it." " Today." " Take my hand." " It's the Room of Requirement." " We need to hide the Half-Blood Prince's book." " Where no one'll ever find it." " Including you." "  What was that?" "  What was that?" " See, you never know what you'll find up here." " Alright, close your eyes." " That way you can't be tempted." " Close your eyes." " S u B:" "V e R d i K T" "That can stay hidden up here too if you like." " So, did you and Ginny do it then?" " What?" " Well, hide the book?" " Oh, yeah." " Oh, g" "Still no luck with Slughorn then, I take it?" " Luck." " That's it." " All I need is a bit of luck." " Well, how do you feel?" " Excellent." " Really excellent." " Remember, Slughorn usually leaves early, takes a walk, and then returns to his office." " Right." " I'm going down to Hagrid's." " What?" " No, Harry, you've got to go to speak to Slughorn." " We have a plan." " I know but I've got a really good feeling about Hagrid's." " I feel it's--it's the place to be tonight." " Do you know what I mean?" "  No." "  No." " Well, trust me." " I know what I'm doing." " Or Felix does." " Hi!" "  Merlin's beard, Harry!" "  Sorry, sir." " I should have announced myself." " Clear my throat." " Coughed." " You probably thought I was Professor Sprout?" " Definitely." " What makes you think?" " Ah well, just your general behaviour, sir." " Just sneaking around, jumping when you saw me." "  Are those tentacular leaves, sir?" "  Yes." " They're very valuable, aren't they?" " Ten galleons a leaf to the right buyer." " Not that I'm familiar with any such back alley transactions but one does hear rumours." " My only interests are purely academical." " I mean, personally, these plants always kinda freak me out." " Exactly how did you get out of the castle, Harry?" " Through the front door, sir." " I'm off to Hagrid's, you see." " He's a very dear friend and I just fancy paying him a visit." " So if you don't mind, I will be going now." "  Harry!" "  Sir?" " It's nearly nightfall." " Surely, you realise I can't allow you to go roaming the grounds by yourself." " Well then, by all means, come along, sir." " Harry, I must insist you accompany me back to the castle immediately!" " That would be counterproductive, sir." " And what makes you say that?" " No idea." " Horace." " Merlin's beard!" " Is that an actual Acromantula?" " A dead one, I think, sir." " Good God." " Dear fellow, however did you manage to kill it?" "" Kill it"?" " My oldest friend, he was." " I'm so sorry, I didn't" "Ah, don't worry yourself." " You're not alone." " Seriously misunderstood creatures, spiders are." " The eyes I reckon, they unnerve some folk." " Not to mention the pincers." " Yeah, I reckon that too." " Hagrid..." "The last thing I wish to be is indelicate but Acromantula venom is uncommonly rare." " Would you allow me to extract a vial or two, purely for academic purposes, you understand?" " Well I don't suppose it's gonna do him much good now is it." " My thoughts exactly." " I have a ampoule or two about my person for just such occassions as this." " Old..." "Potion master's habit, you know?" " I wish you could have seen him with his prime." " Magnificent, he was." " Just magnificent." " Would you like me to say a few words?" " Yes." " Had a family, I trust?" " Oh, yeah." "  Farewell..." " Aragog." " Farewell, Aragog." " King of the arachnids." " Your body will decay... but your spirit lingers on and your human friends find solace, the loss they have sustained." "#  Laid to rest, #" "# And his wand, snapped in two, #" "# Which was sad, #" "I had him from an egg, you know?" " Tiny little thing he was when he hatched." " No bigger than a Pekingese." " A Pekingese, mind you." " How sweet!" " I once had a fish." " Francis." " He was very dear to me." " One afternoon, I came downstairs and... it vanished." " Poof." " That's very odd, isn't it?" " Yes, doesn't it?" " But that's life!" " I suppose, you--you go along with and suddenly..." "poof." " Poof." " Poof." " It was a student who gave me Francis." " One spring afternoon, I discovered the bowl on my desk..." "With just a few inches of clear water in it..." "And floating on the surface was a flower petal." " As I watched, it sank." " But just before it reached the bottom, it transformed into a wee fish." " It was beautiful magic." " Wondrous to behold." " The flower petal had come from a lily." " Your mother." " The day I came downstairs, day's the bowl was empty." " That's the day your mother..." "I know why you're here." " But I can't help you." " It would ruin me." " Do you know why I survived, Professor?" " The night I got this?" " Because of her, because she sacrificed herself..." "Because she refused to step aside." " Because her love was more powerful than Voldemort." "  Don't say his name." "  I'm not afraid of the name, Professor." " I'm going to tell you something." " Something others have only guessed at." " It's true." " I am the Chosen One." " Only I can destroy him, but in order to do so," "I need to know what Tom Riddle asked you all those years ago in your office and I need to know what you told him." " Be brave, Professor." " Be brave like my mother." " Otherwise, you disgrace her." " Otherwise, she died for nothing." " Otherwise, the bowl will remain empty." " Forever." " Please, don't think badly of me when you say it." " I had no idea what he was like, even then." " I was in the library the other day." " In the restricted section... and I read something rather odd about this rare magic." " It's called, as I understand it, a Horcrux." "  I beg your pardon?" "  Horcrux." " I came across the term while reading... and I didn't fully understand it." " I'm not sure what you were reading, Tom, but this is very dark stuff." " Very dark, indeed." " Which is..." "why I came to you." " A horcrux is an object in which a person has concealed part of their soul." " But I don't understand how that works, sir." " One splits one's soul and hides part of it in an object." " By doing so, you are protected, should you be attacked and your body destroyed." " Protected?" " That part of your soul which is hidden lives on." " In other words, you cannot die." " And how does one splits his soul, sir?" " I think you already know the answer to that, Tom." " Murder." " Yes, killing rips the soul apart and it is a violation against nature." " Can you only split the soul once?" " For instance, isn't seven" "Seven?" " Merlin's beard, Tom!" " Isn't it bad enough to consider killing one person?" " To rip the soul in seven pieces!" " This is all hypothetical, isn't it, Tom?" " All academic?" " Of course, sir." " It'll be our little secret." " Sir." " This is beyond anything I imagined." " Do you mean, sir, he succeeded, sir?" "  In making a Horcrux?" "  Oh yes, he succeeded, alright." "  And not just once." "  What are they exactly?" " It could be anything." " Most common place of objects." " A ring, for example, or a book." " Tom Riddle's diary." " It's a horcrux, yes." " Four years ago when you saved Ginny Weasley's life in the Chamber of Secrets, you brought me this." " I knew then, this was a different kind of magic." " Very dark, very powerful." " But until tonight, I had no idea just how powerful..." " And the ring?" "  Belonged to Voldemort's mother." " Difficult to find." " Even more difficult to destroy." " But if you could find them all, if you did destroy each Horcrux" "One destroys Voldemort." " How would you find them?" " They could be hidden anywhere, couldn't they?" " True, but magic, especially dark magic... leaves traces." " It's where you've been going, isn't it, sir?" " When you leave the school." " Yes, and I think perhaps, I may have found another." " But this time, I cannot hope to destroy it alone." " Once again, I must ask too much of you, Harry." " Have you ever considered that you ask too much, that you take too much for granted?" " Has it ever crossed your brilliant mind that I don't want to do this anymore?" " Whether it has or hasn't is irrelevant." " I will not negotiate with you, Severus." " You agreed." " Nothing more to discuss." " Oh, Harry..." "You need a shave, my friend." " You know, at times, I forget how much you've grown." " At times, I still see the small boy from the cupboard." " Forgive my mawkishness, Harry." " I'm an old man." " You still look the same to me, sir." " Just like your mother, you are unfailingly kind." " A trait people never fail to undervalue, I'm afraid." " The place to which we journey tonight is extremely dangerous." " I promise you for the company of me and I stand by that promise." " But there's one condition." " You must obey every command I give you without question." " Yes, sir." " You do understand what I'm saying." " Should I tell you to hide, you hide." " Should I tell you to run, you run." " Should I tell you to abandon me and save yourself, you must do so." " Your word, Harry." " My word." " Take my arm." " Sir, I thought you couldn't Apparate within Hogwarts." " Well, being me has its privileges." " This is the place." " Oh, yes." " This place has known magic." " Sir." " In order to gain passage, payment must be made." " Payment intended to weaken any intruder." " You should have let me, sir." " No, no, Harry." " Your blood's much more precious than mine." " Voldemort would not have made it easy to discover his hiding place." " He would put certain defenses in position." " Careful." " There it is." " The only question is how do we get there?" " If you would, Harry." " Do you think the Horcrux is in there, sir?" " Oh, yes." " It has to be drunk." " All of it has to be drunk." " You remember the conditions on which I brought you with me?" " This potion might paralyze me." " I may risk to get what I'm here." " I'd cause me so much pain that I'd beg for relief." " You are not to indulge these requests." " It's your job, Harry, to make sure I keep drinking this potion." " Even if you have to force it down my throat." " Understood?" " Why can't I drink it, sir?" " Because I'm much older, much cleverer and much less valuable." " Your good health, Harry." " Professor." " Professor!" " Professor." " Can you hear me?" " Professor!" " You have to keep drinking like you said, remember?" "  Stop." "  I will stop." " I will stop." " But only-- only if you keep drinking." "  Don't make me" " Kill me." "  I'm sorry, sir." " Kill me!" " All my fault." " My fault." " Just one more, sir." " One more, I promise." "  I promise I'll do what you say." "  No, no." " I promise!" " Please!" " Harry." " Water." "  Water." "  Water." " Look, you did it, sir." " Look." " Harry..." "water." " Aguamenti!" " Water." " Lumos." " Lumos maxima!" " Stupefy!" " Stupefy!" " Sectumsempra!" "  Harry..." " Incarcerous!" "  Stupefy!" "  Harry..." "Harry..." "Partis Temporus!" " Go to your houses!" " No toddling!" " We need to get you to the hospital wing, sir." " To Madam Pomfrey." " No..." "Severus, Severus is awakening." " Wake him." " Tell him what happened." " Speak to no one else." " Severus, Harry." " Hide yourself below, Harry." " Don't speak or be seen by anybody without my permission." " Whatever happens, it's imperative you stay below." " Harry, do as I say." " Trust me." " Trust me." " Good evening, Draco." " What brings you here on this fine spring evening?" " Who else is here?" " I heard you talking." " I often talk aloud to myself." " I find it extraordinarily useful." " Have you always been to yourself, Draco?" " Draco, you are no assassin." " How do you know what I am?" " I've done things that would shock you." " Oh, like cursing Katie Bell and hoping that in return she would bear a cursed necklace to me?" " Like replacing a bottle of mead with one lace with poison." " Forgive me, Draco, I cannot help feel these actions are so weak that your... heart can't really have been in." " He trusts me." " I was chosen." " I shall make it easy for you." " Expelliarmus!" " Very good." " Very good." " You're not alone." " There are others." " How?" " The Vanishing Cabinet in the Room of Requirement." " I've been mending it." " Let me guess, it has a sister." " A twin." " In Borgin and Burkes." "  They form a passage." "  Ingenious." " Draco, years ago, I knew a boy who made all the wrong choices." " Please let me help you." " I don't want your help." " Don't you understand?" " I have to do this." " I have to kill you." " Or he's gonna kill me." " Oh, look what we have here." " Well done, Draco." " Good evening, Bellatrix." " I think introductions aren't over, don't you?" " Love to, Albus, but I'm afraid we're on a bit of tight schedule." " Do it!" " He doesn't have the stomach." " Just like his father." " Let me finish him in my own way." " No, the Dark Lord was clear the boy has to do it." " This is your moment, Draco." " Do it!" " Go on, Draco, now!" " No." " Severus." " Please..." "Avada Kedavra." " Hagrid!" " Snape, he trusted you!" " Go on!" " Incarcerous!" " Fight back, you coward!" " Fight back!" " No, he belongs to the Dark Lord." " Sectumsempra!" " You dare use my own spells against me, Potter?" " Yes, I'm the Half-Blood Prince." " Potter..." "Enlighten what has happened." " If you should have the need to talk to someone..." "You should know..." "Professor Dumbledore..." "You meant a great deal to him." " Do you think he would have done it?" " Draco." " No." " No, he was lowering his wand." " In the end, it was Snape." " It was always Snape." " I did nothing." " It was fake." " Open it." " To the Dark Lord:" "I know I will be dead long before you read this but I want you to know that it was I who discovered your secret." " I have stolen the real Horcrux and intend to destroy it as soon as I can." " I face death in the hope that when you meet your match, you will be mortal once more." " R.A.B." " R.A.B.?" "  Don't know." " But whoever they are, they have the real Horcrux." " It means it was all a waste." " All of it." " Ron's okay with you, you know." " You and Ginny." " If I were you when he's around, I'd keep snogging to a minimum." " I'm not coming back, Hermione." " I got to finish whatever Dumbledore started." " And I don't know where that'll leave me, but I'll let you and Ron know where I am... when I can." " I've always admired your courage, Harry." " But sometimes, you can be really thick." " You don't really think you're going to be able to find all those Horcruxes by yourself, do you?" " You need us, Harry." " I never realised how beautiful this place was." " Subs by : karatjuta" "End"
