Ron: (s) Whoa.

Goyle: (stands up) That's it.
Crabbe: (s) What?

Harry: (Pauses) I think I know what this is about.
[Hermione bursts in with McGonagall]

Hermione: (withering look) Where is it, Harry?
Harry: (s) What?
Hermione: You know very well what I'm talking about, (s) Potter.
[Cue intense five minutes of no dialogue and dramatic music where the camera just flicks between different characters expressions; Hermione's sternness, Harry's defiance, Ron's confusion and McGonagall's boredom]
Harry: (s) Fine.
[Harry pulls out the Firebolt from under his shirt and gives it to Hermione, who gives it to McGonagall]
McGonagall: Right, it seems okay to me, but the other teachers and I better check it.
Hermione: To check for malicious jinxes, (s) right?
McGonagall: … Yes.
[McGonagall runs away, clutching the broomstick and whooping]
Harry: (rises out of his chair and coldly) Explain yourself.
Hermione: I think someone sent that broom to you to hurt you.
Ron: (s) But who could ever want to hurt Harry?
[Everyone turns to Ron, frowns at him and then continues]
Hermione: (s) Sirius Black.
[Dramatic music]
Harry: I don't know who that is, (s) but you are banished from my sights!
[Even more dramatic music]
Scene 5:
[Draco is writing a letter whilst wearing a dressing gown. It reads:]
Draco (voiceover): Dearest friends,
While I am deeply touched by your letter, I must inform you that I am doing fine.
Since I am in Canada, there are no credit cards, so I cannot go on a shopping spree. Neither is there internet, as when they previously tried to put it up the moose kept on eating it. My shopaholic-ism, I expect will be over soon, so tell everyone you meet that they shan't weep themselves to sleep any longer; Draco is returning. I wish you both a very Merry Christmas.
Love,
Forever,
Draco.
PS It's apple season here! Best of luck!
Scene 6:
[Harry is outside Lupins office. He is about to knock but pauses]
Harry: (s) Is what I am about to do wrong? If I am destined to faint, who am I to say no? I must consult-
[Lupin opens the door]
Lupin: Oh, hello Harry. What are you doing here?
Harry: Your giving me lessons on how to protect myself against (s) them.
Lupin: … Okay. I think I have a boggart in here. Still has trouble coming out after what Neville did to it.
Harry: (angry s to Lupin) Neville is more of a man than you'll ever be.
Lupin: (murmurs) Certainly hope so.
Harry: What was that?
Lupin: Nothing! Let's go inside! (Ushers Harry in)
[Dramatic music]
Scene 7:
[McGonagall, Flitwick and Sprout are all racing around Hogwarts on brooms. McGonagall is riding the Firebolt. Snape walks out]
Snape: You are disturbing my meditation, Minerva.
McGonagall: And you disturbed my broomstick flying. Get 'em boys!
[Flitwick and Sprout chase Snape away. When they return, McGonagall hands them each a cocktail]
Flitwick: How did you do that?
McGonagall: The real question is; what can I not do? With the new Firebolt™ by my side, the answer is nothing. (Flashes winning smile at camera)
[Theme music: "Buy this broom and your dreams will zoom"]
Scene 8:
[Harry is unconscious on the floor. Lupin is eating something.]
Harry: (waking up) Ugh. Not again. (s) Can I have some?
Lupin: Sure man, it'll loosen you up.
Harry: Thanks. What type of (s) chocolate is this?
Lupin: Chocolate?
Harry: (finishing eating) Okay, I'm ready.
Lupin: You know, Harry, you remind me so much of your father.
Harry: (s) You knew him?
