Quotes
'There's no way you're taking that kid to Payne's house,' said Mr. Dursley.
'Dolores,' said Dumbledore, clearly and calmly. 'You are interfering with my duties as Hogwarts Headmaster. I am taking Potter to a place where he will be safe from you. I have spoken to the Dursleys.' 'You have no authority here, Dumbledore,' said Madam Umbridge, her voice rising. 'And you will be pleased to note that the Minister for Magic has now suspended you from your duties at Hogwarts.' 'Yeah, I bet you loved that, didn't you, Potter?' said a voice Harry had no trouble recognizing. He whipped around, his hand flying to his wand, but his reflexes were not quick enough: Someone had grabbed the wrist of his wand hand and forced it upwards so that the wand was pointing into his own face. 'Well, well, well,' said Draco Malfoy, looking down at Harry with a trace of a sneer. 'Little Harry Potter, all grown up and threatening people with a . . . wand.' 'You don't want to do this, Draco,' said Harry, trying to keep his voice calm despite the prickling of his scar, the unsettling dreams, and his sense that Voldemort, like some parasitic monster, was feeding off his unease. 'Get your hands off me.' But Malfoy only tightened his grip on Harry's wrist. 'I don't want to do this? Stop me, then,' he said, his grey eyes glittering dangerously. Harry braced himself to resist an attack, and a split second later, the door of the compartment burst open with such force that it knocked Malfoy backwards onto the floor. A streak of orange light flew through the door and Harry instinctively ducked; it hit Malfoy squarely in the face and he staggered backwards, tripped over his own trunk, and disappeared from view.
