TED (V.O.)
Harry.

HARRY (V.O.)
Hagrid?

FADE IN:



INT. LIVING ROOM, TED'S HOUSE - NIGHT

HARRY opens his eyes. He is lying on a sofa. TED TONKS is
standing in front of him, watching him anxiously.

TED
Hagrid's fine, son. How are you
feeling?

HARRY sits up quickly.

HARRY
Voldemort's coming. He was right
there —

TED
Easy, now. You're safe here, at
least for the moment. They can't
get within a hundred yards of the
place. I'm Ted Tonks, by the way —
Dora's father.

HARRY
Tonks, I mean Dora, is she...

TED
Dora's all right. She just sent
word.

A door opens, and HAGRID squeezes through it, limping but
alive.

HAGRID
Harry!

Knocking over two delicate tables, he covers the floor
between them in two strides and pulls HARRY into a hug.
TED gestures to a hairbrush on a table.

TED
The Portkey's right there, if
you're ready to take it.

HARRY
Yeah. Thanks for everything.

HARRY and HAGRID each place a finger on the hairbrush,
and a moment later, they seem to jerk upward, and their
surroundings are a blur. Finally, they come to a stop...



EXT. LIVING ROOM, THE BURROW - NIGHT

HARRY and HAGRID arrive in front of a sea of people.
Before anyone else has the chance to greet him, LUPIN
leaps forward and grabs HARRY.

LUPIN
Where and under what circumstances
did I first meet Harry Potter?

HARRY
Um... on the train to Hogwarts.
You saved me from the dementor.

LUPIN releases HARRY.

LUPIN
I'm sorry, Harry, but I had to
check.

HARRY surveys the people in the living room. All the fake
Harrys are now looking like their real selves again. One
of GEORGE's ears is missing; in its place is a clean,
gaping hole.

HARRY
George, your ear —

GEORGE
I'll survive, Harry. I wish I
could say the same about everyone

BILL
Mad-Eye's dead.

TONKS
You-Know-Who acted exactly as Mad
Eye expected him to. He chased Mad
Eye first, and when Mundungus gave
them away he switched to Kingsley.

HARRY
And then he came for me. They
seemed to recognize me, I don't
know how —

HAGRID
Harry Disarmed a Death Eater.

LUPIN
Harry, the time for Disarming is
past! Voldemort is trying to kill
you! At least Stun if you're not
prepared to kill!

HARRY
We were hundreds of feet up! If I
Stunned them, they'd have fallen
and died, same as if I killed
them!

LUPIN
You were under attack, Harry. You
gave yourself away by not
attacking back.

HARRY
I won't blast people out of my way
just because they're there. That's
Voldemort's job.

There is an uncomfortable silence.

HAGRID
Wait till it gets out yeh did it
again, Harry! Fought him off when
he was right on top of yeh!

HARRY
It wasn't me. My wand acted of its
own accord.

HERMIONE
You mean you reacted
instinctively.

HARRY
No. The bike was falling, I
couldn't have told you where
Voldemort was, but my wand shot a
spell at him. It wasn't even a
spell I knew.

MRS. WEASLEY
Often, when you're in a pressured
situation, you can produce magic
you never dreamed of. Small
children —

HARRY
It wasn't like that!

FADE TO:



INT. MALFOY MANOR - NIGHT

The camera moves through the house. There is nobody in
sight, but we hear voices not too far away:

OLLIVANDER (O.S.)
I told you, Potter's wand shared a
twin core with your wand. That's
why your wands connected when you
tried to kill him in the graveyard
two years ago.

VOLDEMORT (O.S.)
You told me the problem would be
solved by using a different wand!
The wand I used tonight belonged
to Lucius. Why was it destroyed?

OLLIVANDER (O.S.)
I don't know!
(screams)
Perhaps, when your wands connected
in the graveyard, his wand imbibed
some of your power. Perhaps it
recognized you tonight, and
regurgitated some of your own
magic against Lucius's wand.

We have moved into the cellar, and as the camera pans
across the room, we see OLLIVANDER lying in rags upon the
stone floor, writhing in agony. Before him, with a wand
pointed at him, stands VOLDEMORT.

VOLDEMORT
You see my problem. I must kill
Harry Potter, but all of my
attempts have been thwarted. There
is something you're not telling
me.

OLLIVANDER
No... please... I beg you...

VOLDEMORT
Crucio!

OLLIVANDER's scream is even more horrible and drawn-out
this time.
