Mr. Filch
- [Filch escorts Harry, Ron, Hermione and Draco to Hagrid's hut]
- Argus Filch: A pity they let the old punishments die. Was a time detention would find you hanging by your thumbs in the dungeons.
- [Draco grimaces; Hermione looks shocked]
- Argus Filch: God, I miss the screaming.
- [Hagrid steps out of his hut]
- Argus Filch: You'll be serving detention with Hagrid tonight. He's got a little job to do inside the Dark Forest.
- [Filch and the students gather around the campfire]
- Argus Filch: A sorry lot, this, Hagrid.
- [Hagrid, ignoring Filch, sadly picks up a crossbow]
- Argus Filch: Oh, good God, man, you're not still on about that bloody dragon, are you?
- Rubeus Hagrid: [sniffles] Norbert's gone. Dumbledore sent him off to Romania to live in a colony.
- Hermione Granger: Well, that's good, isn't it? He'll be with his own kind.
- Rubeus Hagrid: Yeah, but what if he don't *like* Romania?
- [Filch rolls his eyes]
- Rubeus Hagrid: What if the other dragons are mean to him? He's only a baby, after all.
- Argus Filch: Oh, for God's sake, pull yourself together, man! You're going into the forest, after all. Got to have your wits about you.
- Draco Malfoy: The forest? I thought that was a joke! We can't go in there!
- [Filch turns to face him]
- Draco Malfoy: Students aren't allowed! And there are...
- [a wolf howls in the distance; Ron looks scared]
- Draco Malfoy: ... werewolves!
- Argus Filch: Oh, there's more than werewolves in those trees, lad. You can be sure of that.
- [before returning to the castle]
- Argus Filch: Nighty-night.
- Rubeus Hagrid: Right. Let's go.
