The Muggle-Born Registration Commission
'Ah, Mafalda! Travers sent you, did he?'
'Y-yes.'
'Good, you'll do perfectly well. That's that problem solved, Minister, if Mafalda can be spared for record-keeping we shall be able to start straight away.' Umbridge pauses to consult her clipboard. 'Ten people today and one of them the wife of a Ministry employee! Tut, tut ... even here, in the heart of the Ministry! We'll go straight down, Mafalda, you'll find everything you need in the courtroom. Good morning, Albert, aren't you getting out?'
'Yes, of course.'
---
'No, no, I'm half-blood, I'm half-blood, I tell you! My father was a wizard, he was, look him up, Arkie Alderton, he's a well-known broomstick designer, look him up, I tell you - get your hands off me, get your hands off -'
'This is your final warning. If you struggle, you will be subjected to the Dementor's kiss.'
---
'That's - that's pretty, Dolores.'
'What? Oh yes - an old family heirloom. The "S" stands for Selwyn ... I am related to the Selwyns ... indeed, there are few pure-blood families to whom I am not related ... a pity that the same cannot be said for you. Parents' professions: greengrocers.'
---
'Get the Horcrux.'
'- Hermione, how do I get rid of these chains?'
'Wait, I'm trying something up here -'
'Hermione, we're surrounded by Dementors!'
'I know that Harry, but if she wakes up and the locket's gone - I need to duplicate it ... Geminio! There ... that should fool her ...'
She rushes down the steps.
'Let's see ... Relashio!'
'I don't understand.'
'You're going to leave here with us. Go home, grab your children and get out, get out of the country if you've got to. Disguise yourselves and run. You've seen how it is, you won't get anything like a fair hearing here.'
'Harry, how are we going to get out of here with all those Dementors outside the door?'
'Patronuses. As many as we can muster; do yours, Hermione.'
'Expec - expecto patronum -'
---
'Come on!'
'Reg, I don't understand -'
'Let go, I'm not your husband, you've got to go home!'
'LET'S GO!'
'Y-yes.'
