Defense Against Dark Arts Class
Set up: Harry is trying to find out how to remove a curse that has been placed upon him. He searches floor by floor.

/7th floor
Harry
Do you know how I could remove a curse?

Generic Gryffindor
No. And please don’t bring it back to Gryffindor with you.

Student
That sounds like a question for a teacher.

Student
Expose it to moonlight. No, wait, that’s how you remove warts.

Student
Sorry, wish I could help.

/6th floor
Harry
Do you know how I could remove a curse?

Student
We haven’t learned that yet.

Student
Have you tried soap and water?

Student
No. Maybe you should look it up.

Student
I don’t even know how to remove a jam stain.

/5th floor
Harry
Do you know how I could remove a curse?

Student
Euw. If you’re cursed, stay away from me!

Student
Scrubbing might work.

Student
I stay away from curses.

Student
No, but I bet there’s a book somewhere that could tell you how.

/4th floor
Harry
Do you know how I could remove a curse?

Student
With a counter-curse, how else?

Student
I haven’t taken that class yet.

Student
My Uncle Winston had a curse. He never could get rid of it.

Student
I don’t know anything about curses.

/3rd floor
Harry
Do you know how I could remove a curse?

Student
Professor Quirrell would know.

Student
You and your curse clear off!

Student
I couldn’t begin to tell you.

Student
They can be removed? That’s interesting.

/2nd floor
Harry
Do you know how I could remove a curse?

Student
Look in the library. They have books about everything.

Student
For practice, why don’t you remove yourself?

Student
If you ignore it, maybe it’ll go away.

Student
My parents never let me curse, so I don’t know anything about it.

/1st floor
Harry
Do you know how I could remove a curse?

Student
No, but I wish I knew how to cast them. That would be cool!

Student
Ask Madame Pince in the library. She can point you in the right direction.

Student
My parents used to say I was a curse. They removed me by sending me here.

Student
No, I’m a firstie like you.

/Ground floor
Harry
Do you know how I could remove a curse?

Student
You probably need to do some serious research to learn how to do that.

Student
Sorry, we haven’t gotten to that chapter yet.

Student
You’re under a curse? Brilliant! Wish I was under one, too!

Student
No idea.

Transfiguration Class
Set Up: Harry is trying to find a purple rabbit that escaped from a classroom. He searches floor by floor.

/1st floor hallway
Harry
Have you seen a purple rabbit?

Student
Yes, it ran away toward the stairs.

Harry
Have you seen a purple rabbit?

Student
I saw a rabbit on the stairs leading to the ground floor. I don’t remember what color it was.

/ground floor Entry Hall
Percy
You don’t seem to be spending much time in class, Harry.

Harry
Percy, have you seen a purple rabbit around here?

Percy
Yes I did, as a matter of fact. It hopped out the door onto the grounds. Why is it purple?

Harry
It’s a lit candle that was accidentally transfigured into a rabbit.

Percy
That explains the wax on the floor.

Harry
McGonagall wants me to catch it.

Harry
Have you seen a purple rabbit?

Student
Yes, it ran outside.

Harry
Have you seen a purple rabbit?

Student
I saw a rabbit go out the front door, but I thought it was more of a lavender.

Harry
Have you seen a purple rabbit?

Student
No, but I haven’t really been paying attention.


/2nd floor hallway
Harry
Have you seen a purple rabbit?

Student
I saw one on the ground floor just now.


Student
I’ve never seen a purple rabbit. I never hope to see one.

Students
I saw one in a dream I had after I ate too many pumpkin pasties.

Student
No, just purple toads.

/3rd floor hallway
Harry
Have you seen a purple rabbit?

Student
No. Have you?

Student
No. But if there’s one in the school, I bet it’s trying to find a way outside.

Student
No. Once I saw an eggplant shaped like a rabbit, though.

Student
I don’t know what you’re talking about.

/4th floor hallway
Harry
Have you seen a purple rabbit?

Student
I don’t know anything about that.

Student
No. Maybe you could find one if you had a purple carrot.

Student
I saw one that was livid with anger once, but it wasn’t quite purple.

Student
No. Maybe you should look outside. Rabbits hate to climb stairs.

/5th floor hallway
Harry
Have you seen a purple rabbit?

Student
No. Should I have?


Student
No, but if I do, I’ll tell it you’re looking for him.

Student
I should say not!

Harry
Have you seen a purple rabbit?

Student
What would a rabbit be doing all the way up here?


/6th floor hallway
Harry
Have you seen a purple rabbit?

Student
I haven’t seen a rabbit at all.

Student
What would a rabbit be doing on the 6th floor?

Student
No. Ron Weasley has a kind of yellowish rat. Will that do?

Student
You should go outside. You sound like you need some fresh air.

Portrait Room Harry talks to portraits and busts in the Portrait Room at Hogwarts.

Bust Comments
Being a bust isn’t so bad. I started out as a mere paperweight.

Portraits are spooky. Their eyes follow you around the room.

Don’t pay attention to the granite busts. They’re pretty dense.

I started out as a full-length statue, but in the end I just went bust.

Those portraits are a little oily if you ask me.

Getting polished is the only fun I ever have.

I wish I had a clock in my forehead or something. I’d feel so much more useful.

Being plastered isn’t so bad.

I’m a pillar of the community.

Portrait Comments
I’ve been feeling a little flat lately.

I’m painted over a landscape, and sometimes it pokes me in the back.

I started out as a sketch but worked hard to better define myself.

It isn’t just every portrait who gets to be on permanent exhibit, you know.

I think my frame is my best feature.

Sometimes I miss the simple days of my youth, when I was just a pencil drawing.

I’m trying to get in touch with my inner watercolor.

I may just be a portrait, but frankly, I’m better looking than the person who modeled for me.

I was in a rotating exhibit once, and it made me dizzy for weeks.

The ladies love my manly frame.

Does this frame make me look fat?
