Harry: Then it'll be you!
[Harry wrestles Black onto the floor and holds him at wandpoint]
Sirius Black: [Laughing] Are you going to kill me, Harry?
Lupin: Expelliarmus! [Harry's wand flies out of his hand and he goes over to Ron and Hermione] Well, well, Sirius. Looking rather ragged, aren't we? Finally, the flesh reflects the madness within.

[Lupin helps Sirius up off the floor]

View Quote Harry: Tell me about Peter Pettigrew!
Lupin: He was at school with us. We thought he was our friend.
Harry: No. Pettigrew's dead. [Points the wand at Sirius] You killed him!
Lupin: [Stands in front of Sirius] No he didn't! I thought so, too, until you mentioned seeing Pettigrew's name on the map.
Harry: The map was lying, then.
Sirius: The map never lies. Pettigrew's alive. And he's right there! [Points at Ron]
Ron: Me?! He's mental!
Sirius: Not you! Your rat!
Ron: Scabbers has been in our family for--
Sirius: Twelve years! Curiously long life for a common garden rat!? He's missing a toe, isn't he?
Ron: So what?
Harry: All they could find of Pettigrew was his--
Sirius: Finger! The dirty coward cut it off so that everyone would think he was dead! And then he transformed into a rat!
Harry: Show me. [Sirius attempt take Scabbers from Ron] Give it to him, Ron.
Ron: No! What are you trying to do to him? [Sirius takes Scabbers] Scabbers! Leave him alone!
[Sirius and Lupin just barely manage to make the rat transform into Peter Pettigrew]

View Quote Peter Pettigrew: Remus? Sirius. My old friends! [Attempts to escape] Harry, look at you. You look so much like your father, like James. We were the best of friends--
Sirius: How dare you speak to Harry! [Chases him behind a piano] How dare you talk about James in front of him!
Lupin: You sold James and Lily to Voldemort, didn't you?!
Peter Pettigrew: I didn't mean to! The Dark Lord, you have no idea the weapons he possesses. Ask yourself, Sirius. What would you have done? What would you have done?
Sirius: I WOULD'VE DIED!!! I would've died rather than betray my friends!!
[Harry blocks the door as Pettigrew attempts to escape]
Peter Pettigrew: Harry, James wouldn't have wanted me killed. Your father-he would've spared me. He would've shown me mercy!
[Sirius and Lupin grab Pettigrew and prepare to kill him]
Sirius: You should've realized, Peter, that if the Dark Lord didn't kill you, then we would. Together!
Harry: No!
Lupin: Harry, this man is...
Harry: I know what he is. But we'll take him up to the castle.
Peter Pettigrew: Bless, you boy! Bless you!
Harry: Get off. I said we'd take you up to the castle. After that, the Dementors can have you.

View Quote Ron: [Waking up from a bad dream; sleepily] Sp-sp-sp-spiders! I don't wanna, I don't want- They want me to tap dance! I don't wanna tap dance!
Harry: [amused] You tell those spiders, Ron.
Ron: [nodding] Yeah, I'll tell 'em, I'll tell 'em, tell 'em. [Instantly falls asleep again]

View Quote Ron: He looks a bit peaky, doesn't he?
George: Peaky?
Fred: What do you expect? He fell over 100 feet.
George: Yeah, Ron. Let's walk you off the top of the Astronomy tower.
Fred: And see what you look like.
Harry: Probably a right sight better than he normally does.
George: Gave us a right good scare, there, mate.
Hermione: Harry, are you all right?
Harry: Brilliant. What happened?
Ron: Well, you fell off your broom.
Harry: Oh, really? I meant the match. Who won?
Hermione: Um... no one blames you, Harry. The Dementors aren't supposed to come inside the grounds. Dumbeldore was furious. As soon as he saved you, he sent them straight off.
Ron: There's um... something else you should know about, too, Harry. When you fell, your broom, it sort of blew into the Whomping Willow and... [Holds up what's left of the destroyed handle of Harry's Nimbus 2000]... Well.

View Quote Ron: How did you get there? I was just talking to you there! And now you're there!
Hermione: What's he talking about, Harry?
Harry: I don't know. Honestly Ron, how can a person be in two places at once?

View Quote Ron: I'm warning you, Hermione! Keep that bloody beast away from Scabbers, or I'll turn it into a tea-cosy!
Hermione: It's a cat Ronald, what do you expect? It's in his nature.
Ron: A cat!? Is that what they told you? Looks more like a pig with hair if you ask me!
Hermione: That's rich, coming from the owner of that smelly old shoebrush.

View Quote Sirius Black: Come out, come out Peter! Come out, come out and play!
Snape: [Enters] Expelliarmus! [Disarms Black] Vengeance is sweet. I'd hoped I'd be the one to catch you.
Lupin: Severus--
Snape: [Directs his wand at Lupin] I told Dumbledore you were helping an old friend into the castle and now... here's the proof.
Sirius Black: Brilliant, Snape. Once again, you've put your keen and penetrating mind to the task and, as usual, come to the wrong conclusion. Now, if you'll excuse us, Remus and I have some unfinished business to attend to!
Snape: [Puts his wand to Black's neck] Give me a reason! I beg you!
Lupin: Severus, don't be a fool.
Sirius Black: He can't help it.It's habit by now.
Lupin: Sirius, be quiet.
Sirius Black: Be quiet yourself, Remus!
Snape: Listen to you two, quarrelling like an old married couple.
Sirius Black: Why don't you run along and play with your chemistry set!?
Snape: [Forces his wand into Black's neck] I could do it, you know. But why deny the Dementors? They're so longing to see you. Do I detect a flicker of fear? Oh, yes. A Dementor's Kiss. One could only imagine what that must be like to endure. It's said to be nearly unbearable to witness but I'll do my best!
Lupin: Severus, please.
Snape: After you!
[Harry points Hermione's wand at Sirius, then at Snape]
Harry: Expelliarmus! [Blasts Snape into a bed, unconscious]
Ron: Harry, what did you just do?
Hermione: You attacked a teacher!
