Will you Severus Snape watch over Draco Malfoy as he attempts to fulfill the Dark Lords wishes?

I will.

And will you, to the best of your ability protect him from harm?

I will.

And if Draco should fail…

…will you yourself carry out the deed the Dark Lord has ordered Draco to perform?

I will.

Step up! Step up! We’ve got Fainting Fancies!

Nosebleed Nougats!

And just in time for school… Puking Pastilles!

Into the cauldron, handsome. Into the cauldron, handsome.

I will have order!

I really hate children. I will have order!

I really hate children. I will have order!

Peruvian Instant Darkness Powder. A real money spinner, that.

Handy if you need to make a quick getaway.

Hello, ladies. Hello, ladies.

Love potions, eh? Yeah, they really do work.

Then again, the way we hear it, sis, you’re doing just fine on your own.

Meaning?

Are you not currently dating Dean Thomas?

It’s none of your business.

How much for this?

Five Galleons. Five Galleons.

How much for me? Five Galleons.

I’m your brother.

Ten Galleons. Ten Galleons.

Come on, let’s go.

Hi, Ron.

Hi.

How are Fred and George doing it? Half the Alleys closed down.

Fred reckons people need a laugh these days.

I reckon he’s right.

Oh, no.

Everyone got their wands from OIlivanders.

Harry?

Is it me, or do Draco and Mummy look like two people…

…who don’t want to be followed?

Quibbler.

Quibbler.

He’s lovely. They’ve been known to sing on Boxing Day, you know.

Quibbler? Oh, please.

What’s a Wrackspurt? They’re invisible creatures.

They float in your ears and make your brain go fuzzy.

Quibbler.

So, what was Draco doing with that weird-looking cabinet?

And who were all those people?

Don’t you see? It was a ceremony, an initiation.

Stop it, Harry. I know where you’re going.

It’s happened. He’s one of them.

One of what?

Harry is under the impression Draco Malfoy is now a Death Eater.

You’re barking.

What would You-Know-Who want with Malfoy?

Well, then what’s he doing in Borgin and Burkes? Browsing for furniture?

It’s a creepy shop. He’s a creepy bloke.

Look, his father is a Death Eater. It only makes sense.

Hermione saw it with her own eyes.

I told you, I don’t know what I saw.

I need some air.

Don’t worry. When we get to Hogwarts, well sort it out.

What was that? Blaise? Don’t know.

Y Relax, boys. It’s probably just a first-year messing around.

Come on, Draco. Sit down. Well be at Hogwarts soon.

Hogwarts. What a pathetic excuse for a school.

I’d pitch myself off the Astronomy Tower if I had to continue for another two years.

What’s that supposed to mean?

Let’s just say you wont see me wasting my time in Charms class next year.

Amused, Blaise?

Well see just who’s laughing in the end.

You two go on. I wanna check something.

Where’s Harry?

He’s probably already on the platform. Come on.
