Resseracted (Harry Potter movies)

Year 3: 05

[SPLASH!... a CARRIAGE WHEEL shatters the glassy surface as we TILT UP, catch a procession of HORSELESS CARRIAGES, carrying students toward the glimmering castle. Gradually, the sweet sound of a CHOIR rises on the air, a FLASH of LIGHTNING bleaches the night sky.]

"Ah... the choir." Said Sirius.

"Were you in it?" Asked Aurora.

"Me? No." Sirius scrunched his face. "But I dated half of it."

Aurora made a face at him.

"You Sirius, are a bad influence." Julianne scolded. "But yes, he actually dated about half of the school." Julianne scoffed.

[IN Great Hall... zoom TOWARD the windows of the Great Hall, TOWARD the CANDLELIT SILHOUETTES glimmering within, PASSING THROUGH the glass.]

[At the High Table, Lupin sits with SEVERUS SNAPE, MINERVA McGONAGALL, RUBEUS HAGRID and ALBUS DUMBLEDORE.]

"MOONY, YOU TRAITOR!" James and Sirius gasped, clutching their hearts dramatically. "You sat with Snivel-- Snape!"

Remus rolled his eyes at this. So did Severus.

[We TRACK ALONG the FACES of the choir, singing to the strains of a HARPSICHORD, and LAND ON a QUINTET OF TOADS.]

"I actually wanted to join the choir back then." Said Harry.

"Harry, I don't think just being the chosen one is a qualification to join the choir." Said Aurora, grinning.

[ARGUS FILCH, Hogwarts' caretaker, stands grimly to the  side as red-eyed MRS. NORRIS switches her tail at his feet. As the choir's song concludes, DUMBLEDORE rises, beaming over the sea of student.]

Dumbledore: Welcome! Welcome to another year at Hogwarts! I have a few things to say, before we become befuddled by our excellent feast. I myself am particularly looking forward to the flaming kiwi cups, which, while somewhat treacherous for those of us with facial hair...

Everyone chuckled as McGonagall sighed.

[McGONAGALL clears her throat.]

Dumbledore: Mm. Yes. First, I'm pleased to welcome Professor R.J. Lupin, who has kindly consented to fill the post of Defense Against the Dark Arts. Good luck to you, Professor.

James and cheered and whistled, chanting. "Moony! Moony!"

Aurora: Something tells me he'll be a good teacher.

"And as always I was right." Aurora said in a triumph.

[Amid SCATTERED APPLAUSE, Harry, Aurora, Ron and Hermione CLAP LOUDLY.]

Hermione: Of course! That's why he knew to give you the chocolate, Harry.

"Nah. He just use chocolate to solve everything." Sirius snickered along with James as Remus scowled at them.

"Oh, stop glaring, darling." Tonk chuckled. "That's just the truth. Remember when Teddy was born."

"What did he do?" Aurora asked Tonks, huge grin plastered on her face.

"Here we go again." Remus groaned.

"When I was in labour, I was screaming and yelling at Remus how it was all his fault." Tonks started. "And he was running around the room, muttering apologies. Then he came to me with a huge chocolate and said sorry while I was pushing the baby out."
