A Ministry trooper stands before five Hit Wizards.

First Trooper. To your stations.

Exit the Hit Wizards.

[to Second Trooper] Come with me.

The Hit Wizards and the troopers run into Bay 327.

Third Trooper. [over intercom] Close out port shield. Close out port shield.

Elsewhere, Thicknesse receives a message.

Thicknesse. Yes.

Fourth Trooper. [through Floo Network] We've captured a car entering through the remains of the Scotland region. Its markings match those of a car that blasted its way out of Diagon Alley.

Thicknesse cuts the transmission.

Snape. They must be trying to return the plans to the Princess. She may yet be of some use to us.

Snape goes down to Bay 327.

Third Trooper. [over intercom] Unlock one, five, seven, and nine. Release charges.

Snape arrives at the Ford Anglia.

Enter Bletchley.

Bletchley. There's no one on board, sir. According to the log, the crew abandoned ship right after take off. It must be a decoy, sir. Several of the escape pods have been jettisoned.

Snape. Did you find any droids?

Bletchley. No, sir. If there were any on board, they must also have been jettisoned.

Snape. Send a scanning crew on board. I want every part of this car checked.

Bletchley. Yes, sir.

Snape. I sense something. A presence I've not felt since . . .

Exit Snape.

Bletchley. Send a scanning crew here, on the double. I want every part of this car checked.

On board the Ford Anglia, two Hit Wizards walk around, searching the car.

Hit Wizard. There's no one here.

Exit the Hit Wizards.

Enter Harry and Ron, from secret compartments.

Harry. Well, it's lucky you had these compartments.

Ron. I use them for smuggling. I never thought I would be smuggling myself into them.

Enter Sirius, from secret compartment.

This is ridiculous. Even if I could take off, I'd never get past the Summoning Charm.

Sirius. Leave that to me.

Ron. Damned fool. I knew you were gonna say that.

Sirius. Who's the more foolish, the fool or the fool who follows him?

Enter Hagrid, from secret compartment.

Hagrid. Aaaannnggghhh.

Outside the car, the scanning crew arrives.

The Hit Wizards approach the scanning crew.

Hit Wizard. The car's all yours. If the scanners pick up anything, report it immediately. [to the other Hit Wizards] All right. Let's go.

Exit all Hit Wizards but Harper and Vaisey.

The scanners get on the car, and immediately shot down and killed.

Ron. Hey, down there. Can you give us hand with this?

Harper and Vaisey enter the Ford Anglia, and are immediately shot and killed. Harry and Ron then don Harper and Vaisey's armor.

Lieutenent Cassius Warrington notices the two Hit Wizards are gone. He tries to contact Harper.

Warrington. Trooper Harper. Why aren't you at your post? Trooper Harper. Do you copy?

He looks down at the Anglia.

Enter Harper [Harry].

Harry signals that his Floo device isn't working.

[to troopers] Take over. We've got a bad transmitter. I'll see what I can do.

He opens the door.

Enter Hagrid and Vaisey [Ron].

As Hagrid attacks Warrington and the others, Ron shoots at them. Before long, they're all dead.

Enter Harry, Sirius, and the droids.

Hedwig approaches the computer.

Harry shuts the door and he and Ron remove their helmets.

Harry. You know, between his growling and your blasting everything in sight, we're lucky the whole station doesn't know we're here.

Ron. Well, bring them on. I'd prefer a straight fight to all this sneaking around.

Percy. We have found the computer outlet, sir.

Sirius. Plug in. She should be able to interpret the entire Ministry network.

Hedwig. [whistles]

Hedwig plugs into the computer.

[whistles and beeps]

Percy. She says she's found the main controls to the power beam that's holding the car here. She'll try to make the precise calculations appear on the monitor. The Summoning Charm is coupled to the main reactor in several locations. A power loss at one of the terminals will allow the car to leave.

Sirius. I don't think you boys can help. I must go alone.

Ron. Whatever you say. I've done more than I bargained for on this trip already.

Harry. I want to go with you.

Sirius. Be patient. Stay and watch over the droids.

Harry. But he can . . .

Sirius. They must be delivered safely or other regions will suffer the same fate as Scotland. Your destiny lies upon a different path from mine.

Sirius opens the door.

The Magic will be with you . . . always.

Exit Sirius.

The door closes.

Hagrid. Nyaaahah ohaah.

Ron. Boy, you said it, Hagrid. [to Harry] Where did you dig up that old fossil?

Harry. Sirius is a great man.

Ron. Yeah. Great at getting us in trouble.

Harry. I didn't hear you give any ideas.

Ron. Well, anything's better than just hanging around and waiting for them to pick us up.

Harry. Who do you think . . . ?

Hedwig. [beeps and whistles]

Harry. What is it?

Percy. I'm afraid I'm not quite sure, sir. She says, "I've found her," and keeps repeating, "She's here."

Harry. Well, who . . . who has she found?

Hedwig. [beeps and whistles]

Percy. Princess Hermione.

Harry. The Princess? She's here?

Ron. Princess?

Harry. Where? Where is she?

Ron. Princess? What's going on?

Hedwig. [beeps and whistles]

Percy. Level 5, the Dark Tower.

Hedwig. [beeps and whistles]

Percy. I'm afraid she's scheduled to be terminated.

Harry. Oh, no! We've got to do something.

Ron. What are you talking about?

Harry. The droids belong to her. She's the one in the message. We've got to help her.

Ron. Now, look, don't get any funny ideas. The old man wants us to wait right here.

Harry. He didn't know she was here. [to Percy] Will you just find a way back into the Dark Tower?

Ron. I'm not going anywhere.

Harry. They're gonna execute her. Look, a few minutes ago, you said you didn't want to just wait and be captured. Now all you want to do is stay?

Ron. Marching into a detention center is not what I had in mind.

Harry. But they're gonna kill her.

Ron. Better her than me.

Harry. She's rich.

Hagrid. Ehhhhhnniinii.

Ron. Rich?

Harry. Rich. Powerful. Look, if you were to rescue you the reward would be . . .

Ron. What?

Harry. Well, more wealth than you can imagine.

Ron. I don't know. I can imagine quite a bit.

Harry. You'll get it.

Ron. I better.

Harry. You will.

Ron. All right, kid. You better be right about this.

Harry. All right.

Ron. What's your plan?

Harry looks around, hesitating. Finally, he sees something.

Harry. Percy. Hand me those binders over there, will you?

Harry takes the binders and turns to Hagrid.

Okay. Now, I'm going to put these on you.

Hagrid. [indignant] Naaaahhaahh.

Hagrid pushes Harry back.

Harry gives the binders to Ron.

Harry. Okay. Ron. Ron. You put those on.

Ron. It's all right, Hagrid. I think I know what he has in mind.

Ron fits the binders on Hagrid.

Percy. Uh, Master Harry, sir. Pardon me for asking, but what should Hedwig and I do if we are discovered here?

Harry. [going] Lock the door.

Ron. [going] And hope they don't have rifles.

Hagrid. [going] Aaannnhh.

Percy. That isn't very reassuring.

Hedwig. [whistles]

Exit all.
