00:00:11,320 --> 00:00:16,680
Chapter 44, third year 
Hogsmeade, Saturday 15th of 

2
00:00:16,680 --> 00:00:21,160
September 1972. 
Pack your cloak, James. 

3
00:00:21,800 --> 00:00:24,040
Why? 
You never know, do you? 

4
00:00:24,640 --> 00:00:26,600
Fine, but I doubt you'll want 
it. 

5
00:00:27,440 --> 00:00:30,200
Don't forget you owe me a 
galleon on that bet we had. 

6
00:00:30,600 --> 00:00:33,080
I haven't. 
James returned patiently. 

7
00:00:33,120 --> 00:00:34,880
Just relax for a minute, will 
you? 

8
00:00:35,720 --> 00:00:39,480
Never Serious grinned back. 
You do realize that this is the 

9
00:00:39,480 --> 00:00:41,680
most excitement I've had in 
months. 

10
00:00:42,040 --> 00:00:45,120
I wasn't even allowed to go to 
Diagon Alley this summer. 

11
00:00:45,720 --> 00:00:47,560
You had more going on than I 
did. 

12
00:00:47,560 --> 00:00:50,680
James replied resentfully. 
You at least had all that 

13
00:00:50,680 --> 00:00:53,840
betrothal drama. 
My family is so boring. 

14
00:00:54,480 --> 00:00:57,160
Shut up Potter, your family's 
amazing and you know it. 

15
00:00:57,400 --> 00:01:01,160
I definitely had the worst 
summer, I had a great time in 

16
00:01:01,160 --> 00:01:03,640
France. 
Peter piped up, but no one paid 

17
00:01:03,640 --> 00:01:06,480
him much attention. 
What about you, Mooney? 

18
00:01:06,480 --> 00:01:09,400
James asked as they wended their
way down the stairs into the 

19
00:01:09,400 --> 00:01:12,400
common room. 
A gang of excited third years 

20
00:01:12,400 --> 00:01:15,320
was waiting, ready for their 
first trip to the village. 

21
00:01:15,800 --> 00:01:18,920
They were watched over with a 
fond sort of nostalgia by the 

22
00:01:18,920 --> 00:01:21,240
older students. 
What about me? 

23
00:01:21,280 --> 00:01:24,320
Remus asked, pushing away 
flashbacks to the summer, the 

24
00:01:24,320 --> 00:01:27,720
memory of wriggling through a 
tiny bathroom window and landing

25
00:01:27,720 --> 00:01:29,880
hard on his knees on the tile 
below. 

26
00:01:30,480 --> 00:01:32,880
How was your summer? 
You haven't told us anything. 

27
00:01:33,400 --> 00:01:34,920
Nothing to tell. 
Remus said. 

28
00:01:34,960 --> 00:01:38,400
More boring than both of yours. 
No magic, I just read. 

29
00:01:39,080 --> 00:01:41,240
Well, you're all coming to mind 
for Christmas. 

30
00:01:41,280 --> 00:01:44,000
James said cheerfully. 
They began to file out of the 

31
00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:46,640
common room and head towards the
front entrance. 

32
00:01:47,080 --> 00:01:49,520
Same as last year. 
Yeah, Moon's on the 10th of 

33
00:01:49,520 --> 00:01:51,440
December. 
So we don't even have to worry 

34
00:01:51,440 --> 00:01:53,480
about that. 
Remus gaped. 

35
00:01:53,640 --> 00:01:56,920
How do you know when it is? 
He hadn't even looked that far 

36
00:01:56,920 --> 00:01:59,880
ahead yet. 
Told you we were bored over the 

37
00:01:59,880 --> 00:02:01,880
summer. 
Sirius elbowed him. 

38
00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:04,280
We looked it up for the next few
years. 

39
00:02:04,920 --> 00:02:07,960
But why? 
Remus was torn between feeling 

40
00:02:07,960 --> 00:02:10,479
very touched and somewhat 
violated. 

41
00:02:10,880 --> 00:02:12,840
It wasn't for them to worry 
about. 

42
00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:16,000
It was his own private problem, 
and always had been. 

43
00:02:16,560 --> 00:02:19,880
It's like quidditch, James said.
Whenever anything was important 

44
00:02:19,880 --> 00:02:21,760
to him, he compared it to 
Quidditch. 

45
00:02:22,240 --> 00:02:25,400
You've got to know your team's 
weaknesses in order to work to 

46
00:02:25,400 --> 00:02:27,960
their strengths. 
If you say so. 

47
00:02:28,040 --> 00:02:32,000
Remus replied glumly, not 
wanting to talk about it much 

48
00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:34,680
more. 
He had hoped that once they knew

49
00:02:34,680 --> 00:02:38,120
about his condition there would 
be no more researching it behind

50
00:02:38,120 --> 00:02:41,520
his back, that they could all 
just get on with things in the 

51
00:02:41,520 --> 00:02:45,400
way he preferred, which was to 
ignore the problem completely. 

52
00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:49,840
The trouble was, nothing was 
private when it came to James 

53
00:02:49,840 --> 00:02:52,560
and Sirius. 
Your whole life was up for 

54
00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:55,360
grabs. 
Remus still wasn't used to this.

55
00:02:55,440 --> 00:02:58,880
As hard as he tried to keep up, 
there were just some things he 

56
00:02:58,880 --> 00:03:02,400
would never want to share. 
It was all very well if you were

57
00:03:02,400 --> 00:03:06,200
James and had open parents who 
talked to you and listened to 

58
00:03:06,200 --> 00:03:11,200
you in return, or Sirius who was
so outgoing and almost entirely 

59
00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:14,200
shameless. 
Look who it is. 

60
00:03:14,200 --> 00:03:17,920
Serious nudge James, pointing at
a dark figure waiting in the 

61
00:03:17,920 --> 00:03:21,400
archway entrance. 
Lily pushed past the Marauders 

62
00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:23,520
and went to meet him. 
Snape. 

63
00:03:24,120 --> 00:03:27,520
Why are they even friends? 
James ran his hands through his 

64
00:03:27,520 --> 00:03:30,560
hair distractedly. 
They grew up in the same town. 

65
00:03:30,640 --> 00:03:33,600
Remus said as they carried on 
watching the couple ahead, 

66
00:03:33,640 --> 00:03:37,000
talking animatedly. 1 redhead, 1
black haired. 

67
00:03:37,560 --> 00:03:39,960
How'd you know? 
James rounded on him, looking 

68
00:03:39,960 --> 00:03:43,760
affronted. 
She told me you fancy her then? 

69
00:03:43,840 --> 00:03:46,960
James asked, clearly struggling 
to know how to react. 

70
00:03:47,480 --> 00:03:50,680
Remus rolled his eyes. 
No, we just chat. 

71
00:03:50,680 --> 00:03:54,160
He said firmly. 
And if you fancy her, then you 

72
00:03:54,160 --> 00:03:57,440
might want to try it. 
He'd noticed this sort of talk 

73
00:03:57,440 --> 00:03:59,880
creeping into their 
conversations lately. 

74
00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:03,680
Sometimes he had to double check
he was talking to the Marauders 

75
00:04:03,680 --> 00:04:08,000
and not Marlene and Mary. 
He fancies her, she fancies so 

76
00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:12,800
and so and on and on. 
To make matters worse, Anvi 

77
00:04:12,800 --> 00:04:16,600
Chaudhry, a Gryffindor third 
year, was now going out with 

78
00:04:16,600 --> 00:04:20,320
Ravenclaw 4th year Matthew 
Studd, and no one had talked 

79
00:04:20,320 --> 00:04:24,040
about anything else for days. 
Everyone seemed to have an 

80
00:04:24,040 --> 00:04:27,320
opinion on it. 
It was mind numbingly boring 

81
00:04:27,320 --> 00:04:31,720
stuff to Remus, for whom, aside 
from a few exceptions, girls 

82
00:04:31,720 --> 00:04:34,560
were still generally 
incomprehensible. 

83
00:04:35,240 --> 00:04:38,080
She likes you though. 
James said you did all your 

84
00:04:38,080 --> 00:04:41,760
revision together last term. 
Only because you lot couldn't be

85
00:04:41,760 --> 00:04:44,080
arsed. 
Ramos replied defensively. 

86
00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:47,720
They were approaching the town 
now, a cluster of pretty stone 

87
00:04:47,720 --> 00:04:52,160
buildings sat just below them. 
And it's not like we were alone.

88
00:04:52,160 --> 00:04:56,560
Mary and Marlene were there too.
We all need to take notes from 

89
00:04:56,560 --> 00:04:59,480
Mooney. 
Serious teased birds follow him 

90
00:04:59,480 --> 00:05:01,840
everywhere. 
How'd you do it, Lupin? 

91
00:05:01,920 --> 00:05:06,040
Those big brown eyes of yours. 
James and Peter snickered, but 

92
00:05:06,040 --> 00:05:09,080
Remus ignored him, walking a 
little bit ahead, hands in his 

93
00:05:09,080 --> 00:05:12,920
pockets, still limping slightly 
from his last transformation. 

94
00:05:13,360 --> 00:05:17,400
That was an utterly ridiculous 
suggestion, especially when it 

95
00:05:17,400 --> 00:05:21,480
was obvious to anyone with eyes 
that Sirius was the best looking

96
00:05:21,480 --> 00:05:25,240
boy in the year. 
It was clearer than ever now 

97
00:05:25,240 --> 00:05:28,080
that they were all getting 
taller, growing from childhood 

98
00:05:28,080 --> 00:05:31,520
into adolescence. 
James had a certain amount of 

99
00:05:31,520 --> 00:05:34,720
swagger that came with wealth 
and skill on the Quidditch 

100
00:05:34,720 --> 00:05:38,320
pitch, but Sirius was always 
going to be in another league 

101
00:05:38,320 --> 00:05:41,600
entirely. 
Remus hadn't decided whether to 

102
00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:45,040
be jealous about it or not and 
tried not to think about it too 

103
00:05:45,040 --> 00:05:47,400
much. 
When they finally reached 

104
00:05:47,400 --> 00:05:50,520
Hogsmeade, Remus could not be 
more relieved. 

105
00:05:50,800 --> 00:05:54,040
The village looked like the sort
of place Remus had previously 

106
00:05:54,040 --> 00:05:56,680
thought only existed in 
children's books. 

107
00:05:57,080 --> 00:06:00,480
The cobbled streets gleamed in 
the yellow mid-september 

108
00:06:00,480 --> 00:06:04,400
sunshine, and the higgledy 
piggledy rows of black beamed 

109
00:06:04,440 --> 00:06:08,400
Tudor cottages might as well 
have been made of gingerbread 

110
00:06:08,400 --> 00:06:11,880
and spun sugar. 
Honeydukes, James said. 

111
00:06:12,240 --> 00:06:15,280
Honeydukes. 
The others responded in unison. 

112
00:06:15,560 --> 00:06:18,360
Remus had never entered the 
sweet shop through the front 

113
00:06:18,360 --> 00:06:21,800
door before, nor had he ever 
been on the shop floor. 

114
00:06:22,120 --> 00:06:26,480
It was packed to the rafters 
with boxes, jars and bags of 

115
00:06:26,480 --> 00:06:29,360
every kind of confection 
imaginable. 

116
00:06:29,800 --> 00:06:34,520
Great trees of brightly colored 
lollipops as large as pinwheels,

117
00:06:34,840 --> 00:06:39,800
slabs of chocolate the size of 
paving stones, piles and piles 

118
00:06:39,800 --> 00:06:44,120
of glittering sugar mice. 
The shop was also packed with 

119
00:06:44,120 --> 00:06:47,280
Hogwarts students, and the 
Marauders had to push and 

120
00:06:47,280 --> 00:06:49,560
squeeze to even get close to the
goods. 

121
00:06:50,040 --> 00:06:53,240
They filled their basket with 
enough sweets to last them until

122
00:06:53,240 --> 00:06:57,000
Christmas at least, before 
queuing for the till, manned by 

123
00:06:57,000 --> 00:06:59,840
a very harassed looking wizard 
with white hair. 

124
00:07:00,440 --> 00:07:04,240
Remus realized that this was 
probably Mr. Honeyduke and 

125
00:07:04,240 --> 00:07:07,400
wondered whether the shopkeeper 
knew there was a secret tunnel 

126
00:07:07,400 --> 00:07:10,680
in his cellar. 
After that, their next stop was 

127
00:07:10,680 --> 00:07:14,600
Zonko's, the joke shop, which 
was just as busy as Honeyduke's 

128
00:07:14,600 --> 00:07:17,760
and one of the noisiest places 
Remus had ever been. 

129
00:07:18,120 --> 00:07:21,640
Every few seconds something 
seemed to explode, pop or start 

130
00:07:21,640 --> 00:07:25,200
whistling somewhere in the shop,
accompanied by the delighted 

131
00:07:25,200 --> 00:07:27,920
laughter or horrified shrieks of
students. 

132
00:07:28,360 --> 00:07:31,840
James and Sirius were clearly 
old hands at practical joke 

133
00:07:31,840 --> 00:07:35,560
shopping and made an efficient 
sweep of the premises, weighing 

134
00:07:35,560 --> 00:07:39,160
up the benefits and downsides of
each contraption like a pair of 

135
00:07:39,160 --> 00:07:43,360
bankers at the Stock Exchange. 
Half an hour later and they were

136
00:07:43,360 --> 00:07:47,240
finally leaving, weighed down 
with bags full of dung bombs, 

137
00:07:47,240 --> 00:07:51,480
trick wands, exploding inkwells,
hiccup sweets and bars of frog 

138
00:07:51,480 --> 00:07:54,320
spawn soap. 
Remus thought they had perhaps 

139
00:07:54,320 --> 00:07:57,520
been a little short sighted 
doing all their shopping first, 

140
00:07:57,800 --> 00:08:01,320
because next James and Sirius 
wanted to visit the Shrieking 

141
00:08:01,320 --> 00:08:04,880
Shack, which meant leaving the 
main High Street and facing an 

142
00:08:04,880 --> 00:08:10,000
uphill climb, goods in tow. 
So what is this place again? 

143
00:08:10,120 --> 00:08:13,440
Remus huffed as he struggled up 
the hill, his knee and hips 

144
00:08:13,440 --> 00:08:16,360
still bothering him. 
Haunted house? 

145
00:08:16,360 --> 00:08:19,800
James replied, taking two of 
Remus's heaviest chopping bags 

146
00:08:19,800 --> 00:08:23,400
from him without a word. 
Most haunted place in Britain? 

147
00:08:23,400 --> 00:08:27,880
Dad says it's not haunted. 
Sirius called from up ahead. 

148
00:08:28,120 --> 00:08:30,240
You Potters are just 
superstitious. 

149
00:08:30,760 --> 00:08:33,720
I heard that the ghosts there 
are really nasty. 

150
00:08:33,720 --> 00:08:38,120
Peter said anxiously, struggling
almost as much as Remus was with

151
00:08:38,120 --> 00:08:40,919
the steep incline. 
Worse than Peeves. 

152
00:08:41,559 --> 00:08:44,960
Are they poltergeists, then? 
Remus asked, curious. 

153
00:08:45,120 --> 00:08:48,080
He'd been planning to do some 
reading about spirituous 

154
00:08:48,080 --> 00:08:51,440
apparitions when he got the 
chance, after learning that it 

155
00:08:51,440 --> 00:08:53,840
had been his father's main area 
of study. 

156
00:08:54,720 --> 00:08:56,160
Think so? 
James said. 

157
00:08:56,240 --> 00:08:59,240
The locals say they hear 
screaming coming from the house 

158
00:08:59,240 --> 00:09:02,520
some nights. 
Only for a few years though. 

159
00:09:02,520 --> 00:09:05,920
Sirius countered. 
Poultrygeists don't just move in

160
00:09:05,920 --> 00:09:08,800
at a moment's notice. 
There would have to be decades 

161
00:09:08,800 --> 00:09:12,400
and decades of disturbance and 
negative energy building up to. 

162
00:09:13,040 --> 00:09:16,640
Oh my God. 
Lupin stopped still and almost 

163
00:09:16,640 --> 00:09:18,800
dropped the bags he was still 
holding. 

164
00:09:19,000 --> 00:09:22,480
He had looked up at the house 
for the first time and a cold 

165
00:09:22,480 --> 00:09:24,920
chill struck the pit of his 
stomach. 

166
00:09:25,560 --> 00:09:28,240
What's up Mooney, want me to 
take your other bags? 

167
00:09:28,240 --> 00:09:30,920
James was asking. 
Remus shook his head, 

168
00:09:30,920 --> 00:09:34,160
speechless. 
He couldn't tear his eyes away. 

169
00:09:34,480 --> 00:09:38,200
He'd never seen it from the 
outside before, they always came

170
00:09:38,200 --> 00:09:42,200
through the tunnel, but he knew 
the shade of the wood, he knew 

171
00:09:42,200 --> 00:09:44,320
what the boarded windows looked 
like. 

172
00:09:44,880 --> 00:09:47,760
Bloody hell, if it is haunted 
then I think Mooney's been 

173
00:09:47,760 --> 00:09:50,480
possessed. 
Sirius said, sounding like he 

174
00:09:50,480 --> 00:09:54,080
was only half joking. 
Wait, Lupin, you're being weird,

175
00:09:54,080 --> 00:09:55,880
stop it. 
That's. 

176
00:09:56,280 --> 00:09:58,160
Remus struggled to find the 
words. 

177
00:09:58,320 --> 00:10:01,280
He closed his eyes and tried to 
take a few breaths. 

178
00:10:02,320 --> 00:10:04,680
That's the house where they put 
me. 

179
00:10:05,560 --> 00:10:09,000
James seemed to understand at 
once and put a hand on Remus's 

180
00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:11,160
shoulder in a brotherly sort of 
way. 

181
00:10:11,520 --> 00:10:14,120
OK, come on, it's time to go. 
He said. 

182
00:10:14,720 --> 00:10:18,320
No one said anything as they 
began to trudge back downhill 

183
00:10:18,320 --> 00:10:21,480
towards the town. 
Remus looked at the ground ahead

184
00:10:21,480 --> 00:10:25,080
the whole time concentrating on 
putting 1 foot in front of the 

185
00:10:25,080 --> 00:10:28,480
other and getting as far away 
from the shack as he could. 

186
00:10:29,080 --> 00:10:33,360
The shrieking shack shrieking. 
He felt sick. 

187
00:10:33,880 --> 00:10:36,640
James steered them in the 
direction of a quaint looking 

188
00:10:36,640 --> 00:10:39,880
pub. 
Inside there were lots of tables

189
00:10:39,880 --> 00:10:43,080
and comfortable chairs, not a 
far cry from the Gryffindor 

190
00:10:43,080 --> 00:10:45,520
common room. 
They found seats in a quiet 

191
00:10:45,520 --> 00:10:49,480
corner and Remus sat gratefully,
his joints very sore now. 

192
00:10:49,800 --> 00:10:53,360
James went to the bar and Sirius
and Peter sat quietly either 

193
00:10:53,360 --> 00:10:57,440
side of Remus. 
So on the full moon, that's 

194
00:10:57,440 --> 00:10:59,000
where you go? 
Peter asked. 

195
00:10:59,200 --> 00:11:02,480
Remus nodded, fiddling with a 
damp beer mat on the table. 

196
00:11:02,760 --> 00:11:05,120
It's not haunted then? 
Peter continued. 

197
00:11:05,800 --> 00:11:10,400
Nope, just me. 
So wait, the shrieking is me, 

198
00:11:11,080 --> 00:11:12,560
but why? 
Shut up? 

199
00:11:12,560 --> 00:11:15,080
Pettigrew serious snarled 
suddenly. 

200
00:11:15,640 --> 00:11:17,720
Remus looked at him, taken 
aback. 

201
00:11:18,080 --> 00:11:21,920
James returned with 4 bottles of
amber liquid and set them down, 

202
00:11:21,920 --> 00:11:24,360
taking his own seat. 
Butterbeer. 

203
00:11:24,360 --> 00:11:27,160
He said brightly, pushing 1 
towards Remus. 

204
00:11:27,240 --> 00:11:30,920
Try it Mooney, you'll love it. 
Remus raised the glass to his 

205
00:11:30,920 --> 00:11:32,880
lips. 
He was still feeling a bit 

206
00:11:32,880 --> 00:11:37,040
queasy and the concoction in the
bottle smelled very syrupy, but 

207
00:11:37,040 --> 00:11:39,800
he found that sweet things 
usually helped if he'd had a 

208
00:11:39,800 --> 00:11:43,160
shock. 
He took a sip and felt instantly

209
00:11:43,160 --> 00:11:47,000
warmed by the delicious liquid. 
He smiled at James, hoping they 

210
00:11:47,000 --> 00:11:50,240
wouldn't ask any more questions.
They didn't. 

211
00:11:50,440 --> 00:11:53,520
Instead, they spent a very 
pleasant afternoon drinking 

212
00:11:53,520 --> 00:11:56,160
butter beer and planning how 
best to utilize their new 

213
00:11:56,160 --> 00:12:00,280
practical joke arsenal. 
Peter had the unusually 

214
00:12:00,280 --> 00:12:03,960
brilliant idea of casting a 
remote timer spell on the dung 

215
00:12:03,960 --> 00:12:06,760
bombs so that they could be 
triggered at any time from 

216
00:12:06,760 --> 00:12:10,560
anywhere in the castle. 
Excellent diversionary tactic. 

217
00:12:10,560 --> 00:12:13,880
James exclaimed, excited. 
Think of what we could get away 

218
00:12:13,880 --> 00:12:17,280
with if Filch was chasing dung 
bombs on the opposite side of 

219
00:12:17,280 --> 00:12:20,080
the building. 
Give us time to work on the map 

220
00:12:20,080 --> 00:12:22,000
a bit more, too. 
Remus added. 

221
00:12:22,440 --> 00:12:24,120
You're not seeing the big 
picture. 

222
00:12:24,120 --> 00:12:27,200
Sirius folded his arms, leaning 
back on his chair. 

223
00:12:27,520 --> 00:12:30,600
We could set them all to go off 
at the same time. 

224
00:12:30,760 --> 00:12:33,560
Imagine. 
We've probably got enough here 

225
00:12:33,560 --> 00:12:37,000
to hide one in every classroom. 
Total chaos. 

226
00:12:37,440 --> 00:12:40,800
Sirius looked so enraptured when
he said this that the other 

227
00:12:40,800 --> 00:12:44,040
three were completely taken in, 
nodding furiously. 

228
00:12:44,760 --> 00:12:48,040
Oh, let's not sit here, Lily, it
doesn't look very clean. 

229
00:12:48,160 --> 00:12:50,640
A nasty, better voice 
interrupted them. 

230
00:12:51,160 --> 00:12:53,640
They allow in all sorts, 
clearly. 

231
00:12:54,240 --> 00:12:57,960
Sirius snapped forward on his 
chair, glaring at Snape who was 

232
00:12:57,960 --> 00:13:02,960
hovering next to a nearby table.
Don't be silly, Sir, it's fine. 

233
00:13:02,960 --> 00:13:05,120
Lily shook her head, pulling out
a seat. 

234
00:13:05,760 --> 00:13:08,720
All right, Evans. 
James waved at her compulsively,

235
00:13:08,720 --> 00:13:10,840
getting that stupid look on his 
face. 

236
00:13:11,360 --> 00:13:14,440
Leave us alone will you Potter? 
Lily tossed her hair. 

237
00:13:14,640 --> 00:13:16,560
Hi Euremus. 
Hi. 

238
00:13:16,760 --> 00:13:19,680
He waved at her, grinning. 
He couldn't help enjoying the 

239
00:13:19,680 --> 00:13:23,360
way she treated the marauders, 
she was the only one who didn't 

240
00:13:23,360 --> 00:13:27,520
fawn over them. 
Sirius said holding his nose, 

241
00:13:27,520 --> 00:13:31,200
looking at Snape. 
What is that smell Potter? 

242
00:13:31,200 --> 00:13:33,360
Did you trail something in on 
your shoe? 

243
00:13:33,760 --> 00:13:36,840
James sniggered. 
Smells more like a dung bombs 

244
00:13:36,840 --> 00:13:38,960
gone off. 
Disgusting. 

245
00:13:38,960 --> 00:13:41,920
Serious smirks. 
Maybe we should open a window. 

246
00:13:42,320 --> 00:13:46,480
Snape had gone white with rage. 
Lily put a hand on his arm. 

247
00:13:46,600 --> 00:13:48,760
Just ignore them, sav, They're 
idiots. 

248
00:13:49,200 --> 00:13:52,640
But Severus would not let Sirius
have the last word. 

249
00:13:53,120 --> 00:13:57,120
How's the family, Black? 
He asked, his voice wheedling. 

250
00:13:57,120 --> 00:14:00,640
Insidious. 
Sirius's mouth formed a hard 

251
00:14:00,640 --> 00:14:02,800
line. 
Snape continued. 

252
00:14:03,040 --> 00:14:06,400
Regulus was telling everyone. 
You had quite an exciting 

253
00:14:06,400 --> 00:14:09,440
summer. 
So exciting, in fact, that 

254
00:14:09,440 --> 00:14:13,560
you're no longer welcome back. 
You don't know what you're 

255
00:14:13,560 --> 00:14:16,520
talking about, Snivellus serious
spat. 

256
00:14:16,960 --> 00:14:19,120
Remus knew that it was too late 
now. 

257
00:14:19,320 --> 00:14:22,600
Sirius had engaged and there 
would be no going back. 

258
00:14:23,280 --> 00:14:26,360
Don't I? 
Snape raised an eyebrow, clearly

259
00:14:26,360 --> 00:14:28,880
thrilled at the reaction he had 
elicited. 

260
00:14:29,360 --> 00:14:31,680
Had any post from Mummy this 
year? 

261
00:14:31,680 --> 00:14:36,280
Black heard anything at all from
any of your relatives? 

262
00:14:36,760 --> 00:14:39,680
Sirius had a very odd look on 
his face. 

263
00:14:39,840 --> 00:14:43,080
Remus had the impression that he
was realizing something for the 

264
00:14:43,080 --> 00:14:46,680
first time and trying not to let
Severus see it. 

265
00:14:47,320 --> 00:14:50,200
James looked concerned, no 
longer laughing. 

266
00:14:51,280 --> 00:14:53,520
Ignore him, mate, he said 
quietly. 

267
00:14:53,640 --> 00:14:56,680
He's a prick, ignore him, I'm 
right. 

268
00:14:56,680 --> 00:15:00,920
Then Severus's thin lips curved 
into a nasty smile. 

269
00:15:01,360 --> 00:15:05,280
No wonder you follow Potter 
around like a lovesick girl when

270
00:15:05,280 --> 00:15:07,960
your own family doesn't want 
anything to do with you. 

271
00:15:08,360 --> 00:15:11,720
When you've been disowned like 
that, I suppose all that's left 

272
00:15:11,720 --> 00:15:14,400
is to associate with the dregs 
of society. 

273
00:15:15,120 --> 00:15:18,960
He cast his Black Eyed gaze over
Peter and Remus. 

274
00:15:19,440 --> 00:15:22,120
Sirius stood up, knocking his 
chair back. 

275
00:15:22,440 --> 00:15:25,480
His wand was in his hand, He 
must have reached for it while 

276
00:15:25,480 --> 00:15:28,760
Snape was talking. 
Remus stood too, his aching 

277
00:15:28,760 --> 00:15:33,000
bones forgotten as he clenched 
his fists, ready to beat Severus

278
00:15:33,000 --> 00:15:35,240
senseless if Sirius gave the 
word. 

279
00:15:35,560 --> 00:15:38,360
Sirius, don't. 
James went to snatch his wand 

280
00:15:38,360 --> 00:15:40,080
away. 
They weren't allowed to perform 

281
00:15:40,080 --> 00:15:43,360
magic in Hogsmeade. 
Come on, Severus, let's go. 

282
00:15:43,480 --> 00:15:46,320
Lily had stood up too and was 
tugging her friend's sleeve. 

283
00:15:46,680 --> 00:15:49,960
She looked furious with him, 
which was a small comfort to 

284
00:15:49,960 --> 00:15:52,760
Remus. 
No, Sirius said, his voice 

285
00:15:52,760 --> 00:15:55,200
unnervingly steady and 
authoritative. 

286
00:15:55,520 --> 00:15:58,320
We're leaving. 
Come on lads, I can't take this 

287
00:15:58,320 --> 00:16:02,280
stench much longer. 
They did as ordered, even James 

288
00:16:02,280 --> 00:16:06,000
who only threw one longing look 
back at Lily on their way out. 

289
00:16:06,920 --> 00:16:10,280
That was really mature. 
Potter said, scratching his head

290
00:16:10,280 --> 00:16:13,120
as they stepped out of the pub 
into the warm evening light. 

291
00:16:13,560 --> 00:16:16,640
Sirius snorted, starting off 
back to Hogwarts. 

292
00:16:17,080 --> 00:16:20,000
It's not over. 
He said fiercely, the others 

293
00:16:20,000 --> 00:16:22,800
jogging to catch up with his 
purposeful strides. 

294
00:16:23,120 --> 00:16:25,520
I'll show him. 
I'll bloody destroy him. 

295
00:16:26,240 --> 00:16:28,120
The Marauders were at war.
