Pomfrey: See? I told you he wasn't dead.

[Pomfrey leaves.]

[Draco is still sitting by the window. He is talking to Crabbe. Goyle is not there.]

Draco: Crabbe?

Crabbe: (s) Yes?

Draco: Why do I remember you but not Goyle?

Crabbe: Maybe it's because we have stronger (s) feelings for each other.

Draco: I don't- (s) what's that?

Crabbe: Huh? (turns around) That's a fruit bowl.

Draco: But what's in (s) it?

Crabbe: An… apple.

Fred and George: (in unison and s) Harry!

Hermione: HARRY!

Harry: (s) Hermione!

Hermione: Your broom- somehow it (s) broke. (Shows pieces of broom) It fell into the Whomping Willow.

Harry: (s) But I was nowhere near the Whomping Willow.

Hermione: (frowns) Strange…

Ron: Why are there sparkles on it?

Harry: My Nimbus…

(Cuts to video montage of all the good times Harry had with his broom; flying with it, laughing with it, on a picinic with it by the lake)

Harry: I'd like to be alone (s) with the… remainders.

Crabbe: (s) I agree. He's gone… weird. He won't stop carrying around this apple.

Goyle: There must be something we can do. (s) Anything!

[Pause]

Crabbe: Well, we do know one thing that heals all wounds and mends all injuries.

Crabbe: It's risky but-

Goyle: But what? (s) What is it?

Crabbe: (s and long, dramatic pause) … Music.

[Lupin does not move]

Harry: Awesome. (takes seat opposite Lupin) Did you hear about the match?

Lupin: (makes noise similar to: ) Euargh…

Harry: Then you would know about my… about my Nimbus (voice breaks)

[Lupin continues to stare at nothing]

Harry: The Dementors, (s) why do they affect me so? Worse than (s) others? Is it because the Dementors feed off bad memories and I have more than others, since my mother was killed before my eyes?

[Lupins head slumps a little]

Harry: Wow. (Pause) Also, Professor, do you think you can teach me how to defend myself against (s) Dementors?
