Professor McGonagall:
This can't go on, Albus. First the Dark Mark, now this?
Dumbledore:
What do you suggest, Minerva?
Professor McGonagall:
Put an end to it! Don't let Potter compete!
Dumbledore:
You heard Barty. The rules are clear.
Professor McGonagall:
Well, the devil with Barty and his rules! And since when did you accommodate the Ministry?
Professor Snape:
Headmaster, I too find it difficult to believe this mere coincidence. However, if we are to truly discover the meaning of these events, perhaps we should, for the time being, let them unfold.
Professor McGonagall:
What? Do nothing? Offer him up as bait? Potter is a boy, not a piece of meat!
Dumbledore:
I agree. With Severus.
[McGonagall looks downcast]
Dumbledore:
Alastor, keep an eye on Harry, will you?
Professor Moody:
I can do that.
Dumbledore:
Don't let him know, though. He must be anxious enough as it is...
[brings his wand to his temple and pulls out a glowing white thread of memory]
Dumbledore:
... knowing what lies ahead. Then again, we all are.
[drops the memory in a bowl of water; sees the parchment with Harry's name on it]
