PROFESSOR McGONAGALL: "What?"

HARRY: "And Dumbledore -- Dumbledore said --"

HARRY: "I trust Bane. Albus is to stay away from Scorpius. For his sake, and others."

PROFESSOR McGONAGALL: "Albus has been checked by the greatest witches and wizards in the country and no one can find or sense a hex or a curse."

PROFESSOR McGONAGALL: "Harry, are you sure this is the right decision? Because far be it from me to doubt the wisdom of the centaurs, but Bane is an extremely angry centaur and… it's not beyond him to twist the constellations for his own ends."

HARRY (with finality): "The professor knows what I mean."

PROFESSOR McGONAGALL is full of unhappiness, HARRY is full of purpose, GINNY is not sure what she's supposed to be.

HARRY: "If you see them together, then get to them as quickly as possible, and keep them separate."

PROFESSOR McGONAGALL: "I'm not sure this is what the Marauder's Map was intended for."

GINNY: "I think what Harry means is…"

GINNY looks at HARRY, surprised that he'd talk to her that way.

HARRY: "His portrait. We spoke. He said some things which made sense --"

HARRY: "He said love had blinded me."

PROFESSOR McGONAGALL: "Harry, you've been put under enormous pressure, the loss of Albus, the search for him, the fears as to what your scar might mean. But trust me when I tell you, you are making a mistake."

HARRY: "But he was right. I see it now."

PROFESSOR McGONAGALL: "Dumbledore is dead, Harry. And I've told you before, portraits don't represent even half of their subjects."

HARRY: "Albus didn't like me before. He might not like me again. But he will be safe. With the greatest respect, Minerva -- you don't have children --"

HARRY: "-- you don't understand."

GINNY: "Harry!"

PROFESSOR McGONAGALL: "A head teacher's portrait is a memoir. It is supposed to be a support mechanism for the decisions I have to make. But I was advised as I took this job to not mistake the painting for the person. And you would be well-advised to do the same."

PROFESSOR McGONAGALL (deeply hurt): "I'd hope that a lifetime spent in the teaching profession would mean…"

PROFESSOR McGONAGALL (bewildered by this vitriol): "Perfectly."

HARRY: "This map will reveal to you where my son is at all times -- I expect you to use it. And if I hear you don't -- then I will come down on this school as hard as I can -- using the full force of the Ministry -- is that understood?"

GINNY looks at HARRY, unsure of what he's become. He doesn't look back.
