Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban Page #2

Synopsis: Harry Potter is having a tough time with his relatives (yet again). He runs away after using magic to inflate Uncle Vernon's sister Marge who was being offensive towards Harry's parents. Initially scared for using magic outside the school, he is pleasantly surprised that he won't be penalized after all. However, he soon learns that a dangerous criminal and Voldemort's trusted aide Sirius Black has escaped from the Azkaban prison and wants to kill Harry to avenge the Dark Lord. To worsen the conditions for Harry, vile creatures called Dementors are appointed to guard the school gates and inexplicably happen to have the most horrible effect on him. Little does Harry know that by the end of this year, many holes in his past (whatever he knows of it) will be filled up and he will have a clearer vision of what the future has in store...

I took the liberty...

...of having them brought here.

Now Tom will show you to your room.

Hedwig.

Oh, by the way, Harry. Whilst you're

here, it would be best if you didn't...

...wander.

Right! You gonna move

that bus or what?

Housekeeping.

I'll come back later.

I'm warning you, Hermione.

Keep that beast away from Scabbers,

or I'll turn it into a tea cozy.

It's a cat, Ronald.

What do you expect?

- It's in his nature.

- A cat? Is that what they told you?

- Looks like a pig with hair.

- That's rich...

...coming from the owner

of that smelly old shoe brush.

Crookshanks, just ignore

the mean little boy.

Harry.

Harry.

- Egypt. What's it like?

- Brilliant. Loads of old stuff...

...like mummies, tombs,

even Scabbers enjoyed himself.

- Egyptians used to worship cats.

- Along with the dung beetle.

- Not flashing that clipping again?

- I haven't shown anyone.

No, not a soul.

Not unless you count Tom.

- The day maid.

- Night maid.

- Cook.

- The bloke who fixed the toilet.

- Harry.

- Mrs. Weasley.

- Good to see you, dear.

- Good to see you.

- Got everything?

- Yes.

- Yes? All your books?

- It's all upstairs.

- Your clothes?

- Everything.

- Good boy.

- Thank you.

- Harry Potter.

- Mr. Weasley.

- Harry, wonder if I might have a word?

- Yeah, sure.

- Hermione.

- Good morning, Mr. Weasley.

- Looking forward to a new term?

- Yeah. It should be great.

Harry, some within the Ministry

would strongly discourage me...

...from divulging what I'm about

to reveal to you.

But I think that you need

to know the facts.

You are in danger.

Grave danger.

Has this anything to do

with Sirius Black, sir?

What do you know

about Sirius Black, Harry?

- Only that he's escaped from Azkaban.

- Do you know why?

Thirteen years ago,

when you stopped...

- Voldemort.

- Don't say his name.

Sorry.

When you stopped You-Know-Who...

...Black lost everything.

But to this day, he still remains

a faithful servant.

And in his mind...

...you are the only thing

that stands in the way...

...of You-Know-Who

returning to power.

And that is why...

...he has escaped from Azkaban.

To find you.

And kill me.

Harry, swear to me

that whatever you might hear...

...you won't go looking for Black.

Mr. Weasley...

...why would I go looking

for someone who wants to kill me?

Quick. Quick.

Ron, Ron!

Oh, for goodness' sake!

Don't lose him!

I didn't mean to blow her up. I just...

- I lost control.

- Brilliant.

Honestly, Ron, it's not funny.

Harry was lucky not to be expelled.

I was lucky not to be arrested.

I still think it was brilliant.

Come on. Everywhere else is full.

Who do you think that is?
