Enter Dumbledore and McGonagall

Dumbledore: Fancy seeing you here, Professor McGonagall. Would you care for a sherbet

lemon? Hagrid is running a little late.

McGonagall: Hagrid's bringing him? You think it wise to trust Hagrid with something like this?

Dumbledore: I would trust Hagrid with my life.

McGonagall: I'm not doubting his intentions, it's just- You cannot pretend that he isn't careless.

He does tend to- (loud bang) What was that?

Enter Hagrid carrying Harry, who is sucking his thumb.

Dumbledore: Hagrid, at last. Thank you.

Hagrid: Could I, (sobbing) could I say goodbye to him, sir? Sorry, I-I can't- with James and

Lily dead an'-

Dumbledore: I know, I know, it's terrible. (Hagrid reluctantly hands Harry over) They were such a

compatible couple. That's why I made him head boy, you know. (He moves upstage,

still carrying Harry) The most important child in the world. (Drops Harry) Let's go

Partaay!
