"Just give me the money!"
"No, Snape, bugger off!"
"Hand it over or your little rat's history!"
"You wouldn't dare!"
"Try me."
"Montgomery, I'm still waiting."
"No way! It's not my problem if you're even too poor to buy your own shampoo."
"Accio Montgomery's rat!" - "Three."
"Give me Purple back!"
"Two."
"I'll tell professor Slughorn everything!"
"Zero. Sectumsempra!"
"PURPLE! What did you do to her?"
- "What is this all about?"
"Now, do something, Malfoy. That Snape-boy has cursed my rat. Make him heal Purple or ..."
"Or what? Let me tell you, your screaming at me is well not appreciated. I'll have to take five points off Hufflepuff for disrespecting a prefect." - "Oh, and before I forget it, another thirty points off Hufflepuff, because it's two minutes after curfew. And now remove yourself from my presence or I'll triple the points I've already taken off." - "And now that the dirty Mud-blood is gone, tell me: What did you do to the rat?"
"Nothing... Seriously... Not even a curse... it's more like an illusion of some sort..."
"Don't lie to me. I'm perfectly capable of spotting Dark Magic. And this is an exceptional curse. What's the counter curse?"
"Um, I'm still working on that one..."
"Never mind. You're that half-blood Snape, aren't you? The exceptional talent at potions if Slughorn isn't mistaken?"
"I guess. Why..."
"Ah, have you ever thought about using your abilities for something more classy... or well-worth, if you want to put it that way? I happen to know somebody who would be able to help you with either – potions and the more delicate spells. Interested?"
"Uh, but professor Dumbledore..."
"Forget about Dumbledore. Who knows how much longer he'll remain headmaster? I'm talking about a more powerful wizard, someone greater than you can imagine. Someone who'll help you get rid of these damned Gryffindors you hate so much. Someone from whom you'll get the respect and support you deserve."
"Um..."
"Don't worry. Think about it. But don't take too long for your decision."
