These are dark times, there is no denying

Our world has, perhaps, faced no greater threat than it does today

But I say this to our citizenry

We, ever your servants

will continue to defend your Liberty

and repel the forces that seek to take it from you

Your Ministry remains strong

Hermione Teas ready, darling

Coming, Mom

Come on, Dudley, hurry up

I still don’t understand why we have to leave

Because, unh, its not safe for us here anymore

Ron, tell your father suppers nearly ready

Is this in Australia

Looks wonderful, doesn’t it

Three and a half thousand kilometers along Australia’s east coast

Obliviate

Severus

I was beginning to worry you had lost your way

Come, we’ve saved you a seat

You bring news, I trust

It will happen Saturday next, at nightfall

I’ve heard differently, my Lord

Dawlish, the Auror, has let slip that the Potter boy

will not be moved until the 30th of this month

The day before he turns 17

This is a false trail

The Auror Office no longer plays any part in the protection of Harry Potter

Those closest to him believe we have infiltrated the Ministry

Well, they got that right, haven’t they

What say you, Pius

One hears many things, my Lord

Whether the truth is among them is not clear

Heh, Spoken like a true politician

You will, I think, prove most useful, Pius

Where will he be taken, the boy To a safe house

Most likely the home of someone in the Order

I’m told its been given every manner of protection possible

Once there, it will be impractical to attack him

Ahem, My Lord I’d like to volunteer myself for this task

I want to kill the boy

Wormtail

Have I not spoken to you about keeping our guest quiet

Yes, my Lord

Right away, my Lord

As inspiring as I find your bloodlust, Bellatrix

I must be the one to kill Harry Potter

But I face an unfortunate complication

That my wand and Potters share the same core

They are, in some ways, twins

We can wound, but not fatally harm one another

If I am to kill him

I must do it with another’s wand

Come, surely one of you would like the honor

Mm, What about you, Lucius

My Lord

I require your wand

Do I detect elm

Yes, my Lord

And the core

Dragon

Ahem, Dragon heartstring, my Lord

Dragon heartstring

Mm, To those of you who do not know

we are joined tonight by Miss Charity Burbage

who, until recently, taught at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry

Her specialty was Muggle Studies

It is Miss Burbage’s belief that Muggles are not so different from us

She would, given her way have us mate with them

To her, the mixture of magical and Muggle blood is not an abomination

but something to be encouraged

Severus

Severus, please

We’re friends
