Harry Potter and the Chamber Of Secrets Chapters 10-12 : There's No Safer Place Than Hogwarts
Kevin, Natasha, Chantae, and CJ tackle the often-repeated claim within the wizarding world that "there is no safer place than Hogwarts."
Listeners are encouraged to think about Hogwarts in a new light—not just as a magical school but as a complex institution with its own systemic failures, much like those we see around us. The episode wraps up by asking some tough questions about what safety really means and who should be responsible for maintaining it, sparking a conversation about what true security should entail in any community.

Speaker A:Welcome to justice for Dean Thomas, a podcast to find justice for the characters and things found in the wizarding world, but from our perspective.
Speaker A:I'm your host, Kevin G.
Speaker A:And I'm here with cj, Shantae, and Natasha.
Speaker A:What is going on, guys?
Speaker A:Shantae, you waved again.
Speaker B:Feel the spirit of the wave.
Speaker B:And I don't want to disappoint everyone, so, yes, I waved.
Speaker B:Hi, everybody.
Speaker C:That's her signing hello.
Speaker B:Yes.
Speaker A:I'm just saying it's a audio medium, so her signing hello doesn't really work for the people.
Speaker C:And you're obviously fluent in sign because you just translated it to everybody.
Speaker A:Oh, I'm glad I can let the people know.
Speaker B:I don't think.
Speaker B:I don't think we want to put that out there.
Speaker A:That.
Speaker B:That's easily very.
Speaker A:I'm not fluent in sign.
Speaker A:Not at all.
Speaker A:Before we get into it, though, you can find us on all social media platforms at justice for DT Pod.
Speaker A:Also, give us those five stars on whatever platform you're listening to us on and like.
Speaker A:And subscribe, because it helps the show out.
Speaker A:Guys, I am not fluid in sign.
Speaker A:Do not tell people that I do not know asl.
Speaker A:I saw her wave her hand.
Speaker A:That's all I knew.
Speaker A:And I think that's it.
Speaker A:You know, me and.
Speaker A:Me and C.J.
Speaker A:used to have a roommate.
Speaker A:His girlfriend was deaf, and so he was fluent inside.
Speaker A:This dude also lived on the couch.
Speaker D:Wait, was he fluent before he got with a girlfriend or.
Speaker A:I'm sure.
Speaker A:I'm not really sure.
Speaker A:I'm not really sure if he knew.
Speaker A:Knew sign before he started dating his girlfriend, but she was deaf and she was nice.
Speaker A:Yeah.
Speaker C:And he signed to her.
Speaker A:He was signed to her.
Speaker D:That's a level of dedication.
Speaker D:Like, I like you enough.
Speaker D:I'm gonna learn another language to, like.
Speaker A:Well, even crazier is that she was stay over.
Speaker A:And he slept on the floor in the living room.
Speaker C:Yep.
Speaker C:And she slept on the couch.
Speaker A:And she slept on the couch.
Speaker A:It was crazy.
Speaker B:I sleep over.
Speaker B:Just go home at that point.
Speaker B:Like, if I'm asleep over and I ain't got no bed, I ain't getting nothing.
Speaker B:Ny I'm going home.
Speaker B:Like, I'll see you tomorrow.
Speaker A:What's the time for deuces?
Speaker D:They got it in on the floor.
Speaker D:They got it in on the floor.
Speaker A:They probably got it on the floor.
Speaker A:We were probably.
Speaker A:Probably in the middle of the night.
Speaker B:Yeah, I.
Speaker B:I mean, I might have invited him to my house then, because I try to be on the floor.
Speaker D:Like, maybe she lived with her Mom.
Speaker D:And you can't, you know, you can't really get it in when your mom is next door.
Speaker A:That's true.
Speaker A:That's true.
Speaker B:Plenty of people make it work.
Speaker D:And see, and, and, and here's the thing.
Speaker D:At 8, because you, you guys were.
Speaker A:Like 18, 19, 20, something like that.
Speaker A:Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker D:19 in like this frat boy house.
Speaker B:Right, right.
Speaker D:And it's like, you know what?
Speaker D:That's totally acceptable.
Speaker D:Like 18, 19, 20, you know, nobody has any money, whatever.
Speaker D:What gets you is when you're like 35 and the guy's like, you know, over.
Speaker A:But you know, my mama don't like.
Speaker B:Visitors, so I got four roommates and.
Speaker D:I'm on the sofa.
Speaker B:Yeah, and your four roommates are your family because you live at home, you ain't got no money.
Speaker D:And then they're like, you just have high expectations.
Speaker D:It's okay, I might be traumatized.
Speaker D:Whatever.
Speaker B:Right.
Speaker B:They do that.
Speaker B:Your expectations are like, if I have it, why don't you have it?
Speaker A:These are very, very valid points.
Speaker A:These are.
Speaker C:You're not wrong.
Speaker A:And it sounds like both of you are speaking from personal experience.
Speaker A:I hear you.
Speaker C:But, Kevin, would you date a woman that still lived at home with their, her parents right now?
Speaker A:Probably not.
Speaker A:That is probably.
Speaker A:No, I am too old for this.
Speaker A:Exactly.
Speaker A:That's a different.
Speaker A:That's a different type of situation.
Speaker A:That is wild.
Speaker A:And it's crazy that you two have had to deal with this in this day and age.
Speaker B:It's not just us.
Speaker B:It is not just us.
Speaker A:You two are the ones that talk about it here.
Speaker A:And I understand and that.
Speaker A:That's unfortunate.
Speaker A: And so, yes, at like: Speaker A:Makes sense.
Speaker C:You know how poor we were.
Speaker C:We needed six people with full time jobs to afford one apartment in Orange County, California.
Speaker B:Well, California.
Speaker A:Expensive.
Speaker A:Yeah.
Speaker D:Listen, would you date somebody that had six roommates right now at this age?
Speaker C:No.
Speaker B:Hell no.
Speaker C:Not unless they lived in like a mansion.
Speaker C:Like they were influencers.
Speaker C:Like a content house, maybe.
Speaker C:That's about it.
Speaker A:That's a good point.
Speaker A:If, if the, if the house was like, like CJ said, the house is like big enough and you're like working there, like, in terms of like, like you said, like it's a content creator type house or an incubator.
Speaker A:Like, let's say they're doing some kind of like, inventive, innovative stuff.
Speaker A:I get it.
Speaker A:Like, there's a different.
Speaker A:Because there's like, there's a way out.
Speaker A:You know what I'm saying?
Speaker A:Yeah.
Speaker A:There's a path out of here and you have like your own space, your own room, like, whatever, I get it.
Speaker A:But outside of that now, if y'all just doing it to make ends meet, everybody work at the grocery store or something.
Speaker A:Nothing that's wrong with working at the grocery store.
Speaker B:But this age, all the influencers I see have their own place.
Speaker A:Yeah.
Speaker B:So even now, like, oh, it's a content mansion.
Speaker B:Are we doing?
Speaker B:I'm like, oh, honey, you're not.
Speaker B:You haven't reached the point that you got your own space.
Speaker A:They collaborate better.
Speaker A:You can collaborate now.
Speaker B:You could do this in an office space and then still have a place you live separately.
Speaker A:This is true.
Speaker C:Content calls 24 7.
Speaker B:I feel like.
Speaker D:I feel like we're gonna have to talk about dating again in book four.
Speaker D:So, you know, circle back to this.
Speaker C:Oh, we're gonna go off about dating, especially in the post Covid years.
Speaker C:And I've been married the whole time.
Speaker C:But I feel bad for you single people.
Speaker B:You should.
Speaker B:You should feel bad.
Speaker A:I'll talk about that.
Speaker A:Book five.
Speaker A:We'll get to that.
Speaker A:Then.
Speaker A:Last chapters we talked about, not Gilderoy Lockhart.
Speaker A:Right.
Speaker A:Because we talked about that before that.
Speaker A:I don't remember what we talked about.
Speaker A:Last chapters.
Speaker A:What?
Speaker A:So a couple weeks ago, last week.
Speaker D:Was Gilderoy Lockhart, wasn't it?
Speaker D:Because we were talking about him and his ocean size levels.
Speaker B:We're not talking about the racism of the wizarding world because, you know.
Speaker A:Yes, yes, because we get some more of that here.
Speaker A:We get more of that here.
Speaker B:Yeah, we get a lot from Draco Maloy, our favorite Little Klux Klan member.
Speaker A:Listen, off the rip.
Speaker A:How is the password for the Slytherin common room?
Speaker A:Just pure blood?
Speaker B:Like, come on, have only pure blood.
Speaker B:Like, how does that make me feel if I'm like a half blood slither and you're like.
Speaker B:And the password is pure.
Speaker B:But like, oh, dang, I don't think I'm supposed to be in here.
Speaker B:Like, I was like, dang, they really?
Speaker B:Really?
Speaker B:Oh, damn.
Speaker A:I just can't believe it.
Speaker A:So that's why I had to just say that.
Speaker B:Like a Slytherin house ain't even no pure blood.
Speaker B:G.
Speaker B:Like, really?
Speaker B:Really?
Speaker A:But that's the password to get into the room.
Speaker A:And.
Speaker A:And I wonder if this is other racist passwords like this to get into the Slytherin common room when it changes.
Speaker A:And Death Eaters.
Speaker A:Like, that's another password, man.
Speaker C:Yeah, Crucio.
Speaker B:Accidentally curse someone on your way in.
Speaker A:Oh, yeah, you know.
Speaker D:Oh, dang.
Speaker C:And Then he's like, you know you're not supposed to point your wand when you're doing the password.
Speaker A:Sabini.
Speaker A:That's on me, dog.
Speaker A:That's on me.
Speaker A:I'm sorry.
Speaker A:I'm sorry.
Speaker B:Help you.
Speaker B:Taking them out of power get you.
Speaker A:To Madam Palm free real quick.
Speaker D:Who sets the password for the.
Speaker D:For the common room?
Speaker A:Draco.
Speaker B:The professor set that password.
Speaker A:Oh, who sets the password?
Speaker A:Who's other gen who said it?
Speaker D:Yeah, who, who, who sets it?
Speaker A:Oh, I don't know.
Speaker B:It's.
Speaker D:It's the, it's the head of houses, right?
Speaker B:I would think.
Speaker C:I don't know, because I thought the fat lady sets the password for Gryffindor.
Speaker C:And then I think the statue at Ravenclaw comes up with the riddles.
Speaker D:Yeah.
Speaker A:Is the.
Speaker A:I wonder.
Speaker D:So the paintings.
Speaker D:The paintings on the Slytherin dorm are prejudiced.
Speaker D:Damn.
Speaker B:It wasn't a.
Speaker B:A painting.
Speaker B:It was just a slab of wall.
Speaker B:He just set it to the right slab of wall.
Speaker B:So, like, who does a slab of wall set them.
Speaker B:I like how, how did that.
Speaker D:I mixed it up with the movie.
Speaker D:Lord have mercy.
Speaker B:Yeah, that's.
Speaker D:That's tough.
Speaker A:That's a good point.
Speaker A:That's a good point.
Speaker A:Well, let's.
Speaker A:Speaking of.
Speaker A:Let's get into it.
Speaker A:Shantay, you have for us the chapter of recovering, chapters 10, 11 and 12 today.
Speaker A:This first chapter got some Quidditch in it.
Speaker A:Let's get into it.
Speaker B:Let's.
Speaker B:Oh, Lord.
Speaker B:Kevin and his quitted prejudice.
Speaker B:All right, so chapter 10, the rogue bludger.
Speaker B:So, you know, after Gilderoy Lockhart really mucked it up in his last DADA class.
Speaker B:He doesn't bring any creatures in.
Speaker B:He just reenacts scenes from his book and he forces Harry to help him.
Speaker B:And Harry does it because as we learned in the last chapter, they need a stupid teacher to get them the right Potions book.
Speaker B:So he does it to placate him and plays along.
Speaker B:And at the end of the class, Hermione goes up to him, to Gilderoy, and like, compliments him and says, oh my gosh, I need to do some extra studying and I need this special book.
Speaker B:It's gonna help me learn all about gadding with ghouls.
Speaker B:And of course, Gilderoy falls for it.
Speaker B:So he signs the permission slip for the book.
Speaker B:Doesn't even look at it.
Speaker B:Does.
Speaker B:I mean, let's be honest.
Speaker B:Even if he did, he wouldn't know the book because he don't know shit.
Speaker A:Well, you know, shouts to him by saying, listen, you Think that I'm gonna stop the greatest wizard in the second year from getting a book from the library?
Speaker A:Come on.
Speaker A:Of course.
Speaker A:Whatever you need.
Speaker A:And you complimented me.
Speaker A:Let's go.
Speaker B:The funniest part is they go to the library to get the book.
Speaker B:Hermione doesn't want to give up the slip because it has his autograph on it.
Speaker B:Still like caping for this dude.
Speaker B:Like why does she love him so much?
Speaker D:I love this for her though.
Speaker D:This made her human.
Speaker D:Like she's a.
Speaker D:She's a girl who likes a cute guy, a cute man.
Speaker B:Inappropriate.
Speaker A:Listen Shantae, sometimes you meet your hair.
Speaker C:You two and Method Man.
Speaker A:Well it's not like you to a Method man.
Speaker B:Hey, he ain't too over me.
Speaker B:I'm a grown ass woman.
Speaker D:But I did think he was fine in middle school and he was too old for women.
Speaker D:I agree.
Speaker B:That's true, that's true.
Speaker A:But listen Hermione, she's met her hero.
Speaker A:She knows he has his flaws, but he's still nice to look at.
Speaker A:That's how she feels about it.
Speaker A:So she just wants the autograph.
Speaker D:He gives her extra points in class, gets them anyway.
Speaker B:Go ahead and you know, like him because he's good looking.
Speaker B:We all have it.
Speaker B:We all have the people we have posters of and put them up on our walls.
Speaker B:But also realize that he's an idiot and just be like he's a beautiful idiot.
Speaker B:And that's okay.
Speaker B:Like that's the part for me.
Speaker B:Like you still don't know he's stupid.
Speaker A:That's true.
Speaker A:I don't like the fact Hermione does keep defending him with his idiocy which is something that is pretty evident especially for someone as intelligent as is.
Speaker D:I would also say though, let's look at the track record of Hogwarts.
Speaker D:Here we have Hagrid who snuck a dragon, you know, onto onto campus and they had to sneak it out, right?
Speaker D:We got a teacher who only teaches Quidditch, you know what I'm saying?
Speaker D:Like is that, is that a real job?
Speaker A:Hold on.
Speaker A:She's a PE teacher.
Speaker A:She's a PE teacher, which is a real job.
Speaker D:But.
Speaker B:Listen at all.
Speaker B:So I just want to put that on a record.
Speaker A:I want to make sure it's clear that PE teachers, you guys have real jobs.
Speaker A:That though that view is that of Natasha's only.
Speaker A:So I just make sure that's clear.
Speaker D:But my point is Hogwarts has a history, you know, hiring kooky people and Hermione is a rule follower.
Speaker D:She's like hey, if Dumbledore has you here, there must be a reason.
Speaker D:She, she's rocking with our guy Gilderoy.
Speaker B:She ain't a rule follower in these chapters.
Speaker B:I'll say this, she can like a teacher because they're a teacher, but she, she doesn't like Gilderoy Lockhart because he's a teacher.
Speaker B:She likes him because he's pretty.
Speaker B:So fine, he's pretty, he's stupid.
Speaker B:Like, just realize that he's pretty stupid.
Speaker B:He's pretty stupid.
Speaker B:So as they're about to leave, of course Gilderoy goes, oh, the Quidditch match is coming up.
Speaker B:Harry, I was a Seeker too.
Speaker B:I was gonna do it, but oh, I decided to defend the world.
Speaker B:Any tips?
Speaker B:I'm always willing to pass on expertise to less able players.
Speaker D:And Harry almost, he said, I hear you're a useful player.
Speaker B:Harry almost ruined the guy because he's.
Speaker A:About to be like.
Speaker B:But he held it together and they.
Speaker D:Were able to go, I'm the youngest seeker in 100 years.
Speaker B:Right?
Speaker A:The fact that Gilderoy said I almost, I would have been on the national team but I decided to pursue the illustrious career that I have here.
Speaker A:As Natasha said, it just has a ton of audacity.
Speaker A:And what he says at all times.
Speaker A:Oh yeah, this is no different.
Speaker B:Yes.
Speaker B:So they go to the library, they get the book and they look over all of the ingredients and what's it, what it's going to take.
Speaker B:And for once, Harry Potter and Ron Weasley are the voices of reason because they're like, look, Hermione, to make this work, we're gonna have to steal a lot of this stuff.
Speaker B:We don't have access.
Speaker B:Like, this is gonna get us in trouble.
Speaker B:I don't.
Speaker B:We, maybe we shouldn't do it.
Speaker B:And Hermione gives an impassioned speech about the defense of the Muggle Borns.
Speaker B:And we gotta do this.
Speaker B:And like, what is.
Speaker B:Bill, I'm next.
Speaker B:And.
Speaker B:And it convinces them.
Speaker B:And they're like, all right, fine.
Speaker B:So she talks them into doing all the illegal things are going to have to do to make this work.
Speaker B:And they also find out who would.
Speaker C:Have ever thought that Harry and Ron would need convincing to break some rules.
Speaker B:Right.
Speaker D:You know why though?
Speaker D:She's the only human born or fully human born of the three Muggle born.
Speaker A:Yeah.
Speaker A:Now, I did love that they said, we never thought we'd see the day in our whole two years of being here that Hermione would be the one to get us to break the rules.
Speaker B:And she, I mean, she did it handily because they were like, dang, we can't even say no to that.
Speaker C:Well, Hermione probably looked at the the book and was like, this looks like fun.
Speaker C:I'd have fun making this.
Speaker C:And then when the boys were like, nah, nah, I'm not cool with that, she was like, I'm about to flex my muscle so you can get on board or not, but I'm making this one way or another.
Speaker B:Yeah.
Speaker B:And they're like, well, dang.
Speaker C:Okay, just full nerd bubble.
Speaker A:Well, I guess we're making it.
Speaker B:Yes, fully nerds.
Speaker B:So we also learned it's going to take them a month to make the, the potion because some things have to be boiled for like 21 days.
Speaker B:They have to get all these pieces.
Speaker B:And so it's a little bit of a holding pattern, but they're going to move forward because Hermione said so.
Speaker B:So there we head into Quidditch is the first Quidditch match of the year.
Speaker B:Of course, it's Gryffindor versus Slytherin.
Speaker B:And it's also going to be kind of like some bad weather.
Speaker B:The weather's not going to be perfect, which is great because as Oliver Wood points out, they've been practicing can in all kinds of weather and they, they should be ready.
Speaker B:So Gryffindors are motivated.
Speaker B:They want to be Slytherin, especially because they think they're so great with their new brooms.
Speaker B:Oliver Wood gives a great speech.
Speaker B:And the funny part is he ends it with saying to Harry, show him it takes more than a rich father to win.
Speaker B:I'm like, well, Harry does have more than a rich father.
Speaker B:He also has a free broom that was gifted to him by someone else.
Speaker B:So I guess it does take more than that to win.
Speaker B:So.
Speaker A:Well, the first off shouts to Oliver Wood when he walks in.
Speaker A:He says, so their brooms are faster than ours.
Speaker A:And they have that as a leg up on us.
Speaker A:Not even going to pussyfoot around this.
Speaker A:I'm going to let you all know that we have inadequate equipment in comparison, but we are better players.
Speaker A:So we're going to do this thing where you use grit to try to dig in and win this game.
Speaker A:And then he turns to Harry and says, it's up to you, kid.
Speaker A:You need to beat Draco.
Speaker A:Yeah.
Speaker B:You need to win this whole game for us.
Speaker B:Fred and George go.
Speaker B:No pressure.
Speaker B:Harry.
Speaker D:Wait, do we see what he says?
Speaker D:Get to that snitch or die trying.
Speaker A:He made it very clear it's a.
Speaker D:Game why I got to die.
Speaker B:And Harry proceeds to follow that advice.
Speaker A:Natasha, as we've discussed, there's a big money on these matches.
Speaker B:Yes.
Speaker A:Obviously the die trying means that McGonagall needs to cover some debts from last year.
Speaker B:Would this better be a win?
Speaker B:No dies.
Speaker B:Yeah.
Speaker C:So she probably picked Gryffindor to win.
Speaker C:But she probably hedged with player death.
Speaker C:That way she can cover either one.
Speaker A:So just in case, do you.
Speaker A:Okay.
Speaker A:Do you.
Speaker A:What's, what's the spread on a game like this?
Speaker A:Right?
Speaker A:You know that the Slytherins have new, new rooms.
Speaker A:What's the spread?
Speaker C:I mean, do you think Slytherin gets 100 points?
Speaker A:Like.
Speaker A:Well, that's 10 goals though.
Speaker A:Harry had a prolific year.
Speaker A:Are.
Speaker A:Are the Gryffindors the favorites coming into this?
Speaker A:They can't be.
Speaker A:Right.
Speaker B:Because they are the favorites because everyone hates Slytherin.
Speaker A:That's not how the book.
Speaker C:Yeah, but bookies are neutral.
Speaker A:That's not how the Hogsmeade book bakers see it.
Speaker A:Sure.
Speaker A:Okay.
Speaker A:It's not a personal thing.
Speaker A:This is just numbers.
Speaker A:And when you look at the new brooms, they got a new seeker in Draco.
Speaker A:The Slytherins have to come in an.
Speaker B:Untried true that brought his way onto the team.
Speaker A:True.
Speaker D:He's Bronnie.
Speaker D:He's LeBron James Jr.
Speaker C:I think at this point you're gonna give Slytherin 100 points for the brooms.
Speaker C:So then I guess the line is set at 50.
Speaker A:Yeah.
Speaker C:Gryffindor as 50 point favorites.
Speaker A:Okay, okay.
Speaker D:I know we live in Vegas, but I don't understand what y'all are talking about at all.
Speaker A:No worries, no worries.
Speaker B:We'll move on.
Speaker A:So.
Speaker A:So Gryffindor are still the favorites here in this match.
Speaker A:But it's a close one.
Speaker A:It's a close.
Speaker A:It's a close favorite because you, you're right.
Speaker A:Harry has grabbed the Snitch in at least two matches that we know of.
Speaker B:And the only reason why he didn't do it the last one is because he was unconscious after murdering Professor Quirrell.
Speaker C:If Harry plays, he's getting the Snitch.
Speaker B:That's how it works.
Speaker A:Yeah.
Speaker A:He's here now.
Speaker A:Once again, you know that he's set to make this match.
Speaker A:New question.
Speaker A:This is for cj.
Speaker A:When you found out that Harry wasn't playing in that last match, how far did the line move?
Speaker C:Oh, it went super far.
Speaker B:No one picked Gryffindor.
Speaker B:No one picked Gryffindor.
Speaker C:Imagine Gryffindor is like 200 point favorite in that game.
Speaker C:Meaning you already think they're Better.
Speaker C:And they're going to get the snitch, which gives them another 150.
Speaker C:That line has to swing by at least 150 points.
Speaker B:Yeah, yeah.
Speaker C:If not more.
Speaker D:I'm gonna do something I rarely do.
Speaker D:And I'm gonna agree with.
Speaker D:I don't know which one of y'all said.
Speaker D:I think it was Kevin said it before.
Speaker D:At this point, Harry knows the money he has.
Speaker D:As soon as he got to school and saw that Draco brought that entire team brooms.
Speaker D:Why didn't he buy.
Speaker D:Why didn't he buy his teammates new brooms letter?
Speaker A:Listen, I got Galleons just sitting in the vault.
Speaker A:Somebody go get these.
Speaker A:Somebody will get these Galleons.
Speaker A:Like, I need.
Speaker D:This is the one time I'm like, my guy, you got the money.
Speaker D:You could have been like, hey, I.
Speaker A:Need to outfit the squad.
Speaker A:I need to outfit the squad.
Speaker A:Right?
Speaker A:We just looked.
Speaker A:There's an upgrade done to the Slytherins.
Speaker A:I need to take care of what's going on with the squad.
Speaker A:How many Galleons is that?
Speaker A:Like three.
Speaker A:Three to ten Galleons per broom.
Speaker A:Get them out there.
Speaker D:There's no Internet.
Speaker D:Like, well, somebody could have went with a letter.
Speaker D:He could have sent Hagrid.
Speaker D:You know, get some money out, buy.
Speaker A:It, but come back with a bundle of new broomsticks for the Gryffindor team.
Speaker B:So remember, Harry's not very smart.
Speaker B:He knows math, but he don't know advanced math.
Speaker B:He don't know algebra.
Speaker B:He don't know how to compare and contrast.
Speaker B:I don't know.
Speaker A:You're right, you're right, you're right.
Speaker A:So, all right, getting into it.
Speaker B:All right, so we get into the match.
Speaker B:It's time, and it's heated.
Speaker B:They're trying to win.
Speaker B:And this Bludger pretty much immediately starts going after Harry.
Speaker B:The twins go, they kid it away and try to send it toward Draco.
Speaker B:And it immediately curves and comes right back to Harry.
Speaker B:So it becomes pretty clear pretty soon that something's wrong with this Bludger and it's targeting Harry.
Speaker B:I also like to note the whole time, Malfoy is just following Harry around to make fun of him.
Speaker B:He is not in any way, shape or form interested in playing his position.
Speaker B:He's just there to, to tease Harry Potter.
Speaker B:I, I, he is obsessed with Harry Potter.
Speaker B:He may be a little bit in love with him.
Speaker B:We can talk about that later.
Speaker B:Anyways, so the Bludger's coming at him.
Speaker B:The Weasleys are trying their best to defend Harry, and it's not happening.
Speaker B:As this is going on, Slytherin is racking up the points because the two people who are supposed to be helping to prevent them from doing that are trying to protect the Seeker.
Speaker B:So they call a timeout, right?
Speaker B:Because they're like, hey, something ain't right.
Speaker B:We're calling a timeout.
Speaker A:Well, hold on.
Speaker A:During this timeout.
Speaker A:During this timeout, you.
Speaker A:You said, something ain't right.
Speaker A:Oliver Wood said, why aren't y'all defending?
Speaker A:One hit, Angelina.
Speaker A:What are y'all doing?
Speaker B:Where the hell have y'all been?
Speaker A:Yeah.
Speaker A:Shouts to Oliver Wood, being locked in.
Speaker A:In the game, not know what's going on.
Speaker A:Seeker, that he has no knowledge of what's going on.
Speaker B:Defense wins championships, guys.
Speaker A:Where's the defense?
Speaker A:You got to slack it on the D.
Speaker A:And they're like, this.
Speaker A:This Bludger is just trying to murder Harry.
Speaker A:And then, I know you're going to get into it, but I want to.
Speaker A:I'm just going to say it right here because this is wild.
Speaker A:Harry says, you know what?
Speaker A:I'm g.
Speaker A:Just go ahead and take care of this Bludger myself.
Speaker A:Then the rest of the team's like, I don't know if that's a great idea.
Speaker A:And Oliver goes, listen, y'all, if he said he gonna take care of it, we gotta get back to work.
Speaker A:Hey, we gonna let Harry take care of this shit on his own.
Speaker A:And then the Weasley twins are, like, you said to death, but, like, you were serious.
Speaker A:And Oliver's like, the bets are in.
Speaker A:And that's kind of what happened.
Speaker B:Do y'all want to face off at MC to McGonagall?
Speaker B:I didn't think so.
Speaker C:Well, you talked about Wood saying, like, one hit, Angelina.
Speaker C:He's locked in.
Speaker C:Bludgers don't hit the goalie.
Speaker C:So all he's focused on is the Quaffle.
Speaker C:He can't catch the Snitch.
Speaker C:He's not worried about a Bludger.
Speaker C:So he's looking at.
Speaker C:He's like, where's the ball?
Speaker C:What's going on?
Speaker C:I gotta make sure I stop this.
Speaker C:And he's watching his people get up.
Speaker A:Yep.
Speaker C:Like, what I want to know is how come Fred and George, why did they split up?
Speaker C:Only one really need to cover Harry.
Speaker B:That's true.
Speaker A:I did think that, too.
Speaker A:I was like, one should just be on Harry patrol and the other one should be trying to, like, take care of business.
Speaker A:Because you're only dealing with one Bludger at this time anyway because you know it's going to keep Coming back, right?
Speaker A:So you might as well just hit it.
Speaker A:Be prepared for it to return.
Speaker A:Hit it again.
Speaker A:Be prepared for it to return.
Speaker A:Now, the tough part is that, you know the way Quidditch works.
Speaker A:You got to catch this snitch to win the game.
Speaker A:So Harry's seeking is looking for this snitch the entire time.
Speaker A:If George or Fred is just on Harry, then this should be able to work out to their favor.
Speaker A:But that's not what we go with.
Speaker A:We go with Harry saying, hey, I'm going to just take this thing on myself.
Speaker A:I'm a shoot the moon.
Speaker A:And they're like, okay, what a maneuver.
Speaker B:Point out that Oliver gave him the choice.
Speaker B:Oliver somehow didn't know the Bludger.
Speaker B:And somehow no one else notices either.
Speaker B:That the eponymous rogue bl.
Speaker A:To be fair.
Speaker A:Angelina, Ashley, Spin it.
Speaker A:They are Katie.
Speaker B:I'm not talking about the other Griffinors.
Speaker B:I'm talking about the referee.
Speaker B:How you not say that right?
Speaker B:The crowd, you don't notice.
Speaker B:Like, come on, man.
Speaker C:I feel like Hooch is up there on her broom drinking out of a flask.
Speaker B:Yeah.
Speaker B:Are they still playing?
Speaker B:All right.
Speaker B:They're good.
Speaker B:Like, come on.
Speaker B:Come on, Hooch.
Speaker B:Like, you need to justify yourself here.
Speaker B:So Oliver gives.
Speaker B:Harry's like, dude, I can do it.
Speaker B:Oliver's like, are you sure?
Speaker B:Hey, what are we gonna do?
Speaker B:Are we gonna.
Speaker B:If they.
Speaker B:If they file an inquiry, that means they'd have to forfeit.
Speaker B:So this is the choice they have to make.
Speaker B:Forfeit this game and file an inquiry.
Speaker B:Which, let's be honest, from what we learn about who is bewitching it, there probably would be no evidence.
Speaker B:So they would forfeit for no reason.
Speaker B:They don't know this, but we know this as the people outside the story.
Speaker B:Or they could go through and let.
Speaker B:Let Harry Potter deal with it on his own.
Speaker B:Harry's like, I got it.
Speaker B:So they start playing, and the Wheezies leave them to it.
Speaker B:And he's actually doing okay.
Speaker B:He's like.
Speaker B:He's evading.
Speaker B:He's looping the loop.
Speaker B:He's looking for everything.
Speaker A:He shoots the moon.
Speaker A:It's a fantastic maneuver.
Speaker A:He shoots towards the moon, dips down, whips a couple of times because he is faster than the Bewitch Bludger.
Speaker A:And then he's able to put himself upside down, right?
Speaker A:So that way it could confuse it.
Speaker A:It's a very advanced maneuver.
Speaker A:You asked in the last Sept.
Speaker A:Why.
Speaker B:Wasn'T he using the Bludger to hit other people?
Speaker B:Like, you know, it's going to Come for you right behind somebody, it's going to go straight for you.
Speaker D:Right, okay.
Speaker B:Like he could have been using that.
Speaker D:You're asking a whole lot right now.
Speaker D:He's in the middle of the air.
Speaker D:He's trying to look for a little gold ball.
Speaker D:Like, he can't be doing strategy and all that stuff too, to hit other people.
Speaker A:I'm not here to defend Quidditch, but the fact that this 12 year old has the wherewithal to shoot the moon to go with these maneuvers, that's respect to him.
Speaker A:You asked was he actually even good at it?
Speaker A:He is.
Speaker A:He's a natural at this game.
Speaker A:This is the only thing he's a natural at.
Speaker B:Really good at.
Speaker B:Riding broom.
Speaker D:Yeah.
Speaker A:Yes, yes.
Speaker A:He should have shot past Malfoy so that way the Bludger in his wake would smash the kid in the face.
Speaker B:Yep.
Speaker A:That's probably what he should have did.
Speaker B:I was like, you can take Malfoy out right now.
Speaker B:It'll be even easier to get the ball because no one else is looking for it.
Speaker A:Correct.
Speaker B:But to that point, Malfoy wasn't really looking for the ball either.
Speaker B:Because as Harry is evading, Malfoy comes up to tease him again because that's all he's interested in doing.
Speaker B:And the Golden Snitch is right next to his head.
Speaker B:If he had looked up, he could have reached up to grab it, but he was too busy teasing Harry Potter.
Speaker B:And Harry Potter is so, like, focused on, oh, my God, there it is.
Speaker B:That he pauses too long and he gets hit by the Bludger in the arm and ends up breaking his arm.
Speaker A:Just shatters the arm, shatters his arm.
Speaker B:On his elbow, which, you know, it hurts.
Speaker C:You know that hurt.
Speaker A:In our Quidditch episode, I talked about how this game is ridiculous.
Speaker A:There should not be a ball that can literally break a child's arm with impact.
Speaker A:Okay?
Speaker A:This is a non contact sport.
Speaker A:Supposed to be the last leather and match.
Speaker A:Told you otherwise.
Speaker A:But this is a non contact sport.
Speaker B:Right.
Speaker A:The fact that the balls make contact and are able to maim you is ridiculous.
Speaker B:Well, they are magical.
Speaker D:Okay, first of all, have you not been to a kid's baseball game or a teenage baseball game?
Speaker D:And like, they're throwing those balls like a baseball can break something.
Speaker A:You have a glove, a soccer ball.
Speaker A:You supposed to catch the ball.
Speaker A:That's the goal.
Speaker A:Then this situation here, this ball is not supposed to be caught by this kid.
Speaker A:He can't hit it.
Speaker A:He has no bat to beat it away.
Speaker D:And an errant soccer ball can Break a bone.
Speaker D:I've seen it happen.
Speaker D:An arm bone, a clavicle.
Speaker D:Well, not, Not a shed, a nose.
Speaker B:Like you said, an errant one.
Speaker A:Right.
Speaker D:This is the.
Speaker D:Yeah.
Speaker A:This ball is made to maim.
Speaker D:It's not made to hit him that fast.
Speaker D:It was bewitched.
Speaker D:It's made to hit you because, because.
Speaker D:And I.
Speaker D:And there's evidence of this one hit Angelina.
Speaker D:It didn't fuck up her shit.
Speaker D:She just, you know, she got hurt a little bit.
Speaker D:They didn't break her, break her bone.
Speaker D:This one was bewitched to go harder, faster, stronger, whatever.
Speaker D:But I would say any kid playing a sport with a ball, you can get broken some kind of way that this is true.
Speaker B:But I see him point about, like, this thing was intended to cause harm, unlike these other things where harm can be caused unintentionally.
Speaker B:But Harry's arm is shattered and he barely is able to hold himself onto his broom.
Speaker B:As, by the way, I forgot to mention, it's.
Speaker B:It started raining at this point.
Speaker B:The weather's bad.
Speaker B:By now he should be used to that because that Oliver made them play in, like, snow, barefoot or whatever.
Speaker B:So he.
Speaker B:It's wet, it's slippery.
Speaker B:He's gripping with his fingertips to hang onto his broom.
Speaker B:He sees the Golden Snitch is still there next to Malfoy's head, and he goes straight at him.
Speaker B:Malfoy, the coward that he is, goes, he's coming for me.
Speaker B:And, like, ducks out of the way.
Speaker B:Harry, who can't use his right arm, releases his broom, is clutching it with only his legs and reaches, grabs the Golden Snitch, does a dive and, like, bails out into the mud.
Speaker B:Gryffindor wins.
Speaker B:And then he promptly faints because his arm is broken and he's probably internally bleeding or whatever.
Speaker A:Searing pain.
Speaker A:Searing pain.
Speaker B:Yes.
Speaker A:Fantastic maneuver, though, right?
Speaker A:That one would have been on the Sports center top 10.
Speaker A:Yep, 100.
Speaker A:That would have been Sports center top.
Speaker B:So he wakes up very shortly after, and who is hovering above him?
Speaker B:Gilderoy Lockhart.
Speaker B:Harry immediately goes, no.
Speaker B:Colin Creevey is over there trying to snap pictures.
Speaker B:His teammates are running toward him.
Speaker D:They're.
Speaker B:They're happy because they just won.
Speaker B:And Gilderoy says, oh, I can fix that arm for you.
Speaker B:And he's like, no, no, don't fix mine.
Speaker B:Don't do anything for me.
Speaker C:Can you imagine being knocked out and waking up and the things standing above you is Gilderoy Lockhart.
Speaker C:While you're hearing Colin previous snap pictures and you know you got a broken arm.
Speaker C:How Mad are you?
Speaker C:At that minute, like, please, just Even better question.
Speaker A:McGonagall knows that this man is a fraud, right?
Speaker A:Everyone's aware that this man's a fraud when he's standing over him.
Speaker A:Why has Minerva not moved down?
Speaker A:Minerva knows how important Harry Potter is to her making money, so I don't know why she's not.
Speaker B:He already made her the money.
Speaker B:What does she need him for now?
Speaker A:Well, we have another Quidditch match coming up.
Speaker D:No McGonagall slander will be tolerated.
Speaker D:Wait a minute.
Speaker A:There's the slander is that she should have stopped Gilderoy Lockhart from doing anything to this child.
Speaker B:She was nowhere to be found during this time.
Speaker A:Ridiculous.
Speaker C:She was probably higher up in the stands.
Speaker B:She was getting her money.
Speaker B:She's like, oh, I won.
Speaker B:Pay up.
Speaker B:I'm going to.
Speaker B:Hogs me real quick.
Speaker A:Went right down to cash this ticket.
Speaker D:Now, here's another question, too.
Speaker D:Like, you're at a game you're used to sport where people get hurt often.
Speaker D:Why is there not medical help at the field?
Speaker B:Yeah, should be there.
Speaker A:I thought of this.
Speaker A:Let me tell you why there isn't.
Speaker A:And because I thought of this exact thing.
Speaker A:Madame Pomfrey is but one witch, okay?
Speaker A:She has to take care of the actual hospital wing.
Speaker A:If anything happens, you can get the kids over there.
Speaker A:We do not have EMTs or medical assistance on hand.
Speaker A:Though we should, because Quidditch is a stupid, dangerous game.
Speaker A:There's no medical attention on hand because Madam Pomfrey's but one witch.
Speaker A:So she has to take care of the hospital wing.
Speaker A:And so if there's anything that happens, you're supposed to whisk them there immediately.
Speaker A:Which is why this is also ridiculous, because Gilderoy is standing over him, makes his bones disappear, and then says, I'll.
Speaker B:Fix that, and goes, oh, they're together.
Speaker B:Just is not here in your arm.
Speaker A:And then he says, gotta get the boy to the hospital week.
Speaker A:That's where we were trying to go from the beginning.
Speaker B:Like, Ron, Hermione, go take him.
Speaker B:There you go.
Speaker B:There you go.
Speaker B:I love the description.
Speaker B:Like a rubbery glove just, like, dangling off his arm.
Speaker B:Oh, gosh.
Speaker B:So he gets there.
Speaker B:Madame Poundfrey is pissed.
Speaker B:She's like, you should have brought him to me.
Speaker B:What the hell were you thinking?
Speaker B:And she.
Speaker B:She says, inept teachers and dangerous games.
Speaker B:These stupid, dangerous games.
Speaker B:So Madam Palm freeze on Kevin's side.
Speaker B:And she basically tells him, hey, if you had come to me, I could have fixed your arm real quick.
Speaker B:But since your bones are now missing, this is gonna suck.
Speaker B:Drink this disgusting thing.
Speaker B:You have 33 bones to regrow, sit there and suffer.
Speaker C:Which.
Speaker C:The fact that she had this sitting on the shelf ready to go.
Speaker C:How often does this happen?
Speaker C:That they have a potion for it?
Speaker A:Okay.
Speaker A:Let's be honest.
Speaker A:Let's be real.
Speaker A:She's a teacher at a school with a bunch of children that do magic.
Speaker A:Bones probably get disappeared on a regular basis.
Speaker A:Maybe it's a toe, Maybe it's a finger.
Speaker A:Maybe it's an entire leg.
Speaker A:Who knows?
Speaker A:It's on hand because she deals with this kind of shit for forever.
Speaker C:Can you imagine being in a duel and someone hits you with a curse that removes all the bones in your body?
Speaker B:I think you would die.
Speaker D:It'd be like the end of Roger Rabbit where the guy, like, melts and he goes.
Speaker D:He folds up like.
Speaker D:Like a spot.
Speaker A:That's what.
Speaker A:But you probably.
Speaker A:Your heart just hits the ground and you're just organs.
Speaker B:Yeah.
Speaker A:And splat.
Speaker A:Yeah.
Speaker B:Like, you're a bag.
Speaker B:You're a bag of blood and organs.
Speaker C:You're like.
Speaker C:If you somehow survived, you got to drink the potion to grow back all 206 bones.
Speaker A:That's a while.
Speaker B:That's.
Speaker B:That's the type of torture I'm sure it is.
Speaker A:Yeah.
Speaker B:So the Gryffindors try to come in and.
Speaker B:And celebrate with him, but Madam Poppy's like, get out.
Speaker B:He needs to rest and grow these bones.
Speaker B:And so.
Speaker B:Which I think she could have let them stay for an hour because I would have helped distract him as his bones are going.
Speaker B:But she shoot them all out.
Speaker B:She was sure she was pissed because he should have just come to her in the first place, which he wanted to do.
Speaker B:It's not his fault.
Speaker B:Gittery Lockhart is an idiot.
Speaker B:But.
Speaker C:Right.
Speaker B:They leave and he falls asleep being in pain as his arm is growing.
Speaker B:When he wakes up, who is sitting on his bed but Dobby?
Speaker B:And we learn a few things from Dobby.
Speaker B:Oh, we also learned that Malfoy gets reamed out by the captain of his team because he didn't do anything.
Speaker B:Love it.
Speaker C:He's just out there being a nuisance.
Speaker C:Like.
Speaker B:Yeah.
Speaker C:I imagine Malfoy is like Lance Stevenson blowing in LeBron's ear.
Speaker C:That's all Malfoy's doing now.
Speaker B:Damn.
Speaker B:All right, so here's what we learned from Dobby's visit.
Speaker B:I mean, obviously, there's a lot of, you know, hitting himself and being so sad.
Speaker B:Oh, I can't tell you.
Speaker B:But what we.
Speaker B:But he does tell a lot.
Speaker B:He tells that Dobby's the reason that Harry couldn't get through the platform on nine and three quarters.
Speaker B:That he waited for him to try to go through, blocked it and prevented it and had no clue that there might be some other way for Harry to get to Hogwarts.
Speaker B:Now here's where I disagree.
Speaker B:Harry tries to blame Dobby and says, you almost got me expelled.
Speaker B:I'm almost like, you almost got yourself expelled because you could have just.
Speaker B:Just sent a letter and said, hey, we need to ride to Hogwarts and someone would have come and got you.
Speaker B:So it's not fair that he blamed Dobby for that.
Speaker C:Or just wait till somebody walks out.
Speaker C:Like, you know, the adults are have to leave after the kids, right?
Speaker C:Go there.
Speaker C:They don't just Apparate home, right?
Speaker B:So I know especially because the car was there.
Speaker B:So they would have come out and been like, what the hell?
Speaker B:And they could have explained we couldn't get through the barrier.
Speaker B:So that's not Dobby's fault.
Speaker B:Dobby is annoying for blocking the barrier, but it's not his fault that the arms got spell.
Speaker B:Then we learn that Dobby is also the person who bewitched the Bludger.
Speaker B:And Harry's like, why are you trying to kill me?
Speaker B:And Dobby goes, I'm trying to kill you.
Speaker B:I'm trying to save you.
Speaker B:But he tried to knock him off a broom that was a bajillion feet in the air.
Speaker B:Like what did he think would happen?
Speaker B:Come on, Dobby, that's not even right.
Speaker B:We also learn more about house elves.
Speaker B:So Dobby's wearing a radio pillowcase and.
Speaker B:And Harry's like, why are you wearing that?
Speaker B:Put on something else.
Speaker B:And we learned that he has to wear that because it's a symbol of his enslavement.
Speaker B:And he only can be free if his master gives him clothes, which his master would never ever do.
Speaker B:He can give him even something as little as a sock.
Speaker B:Keep that in your mind for later.
Speaker B:We also learned that Harry Potter is an inspiration to the oppressed creatures in the magical world because him coming back helped the situation for everybody.
Speaker B:I guess.
Speaker B:It was horrible during the Death Eater time.
Speaker B:And when Harry Potter got rid of what's his name?
Speaker B:Voldemort and made it better.
Speaker B:Sure.
Speaker D:But we also learned too that not only is Dobby, you know, he has.
Speaker D:He has to the mark of the slave with the clothing.
Speaker D:We learned that when he does things against his master, he has to hurt himself.
Speaker D:He had to iron his hands afterward when he blocked Ron and Harry from Getting on the train.
Speaker D:And then when he burned the Malfoys dinner, he was flogged, so he has to hurt himself.
Speaker D:And he's also abused.
Speaker D:So, you know, they are really and truly treated like shit.
Speaker A:Listen, listen.
Speaker A:This is ridiculous, okay?
Speaker A:This house elf bewitched a Bludger and sent it after the boy in an attempt to hurt him enough that it sends him home.
Speaker A:He tried to stop the boy from coming to school by blocking the barrier.
Speaker A:Just tell the man what's going on.
Speaker A:Just tell him.
Speaker D:He cannot.
Speaker D:He cannot.
Speaker A:This is ridiculous.
Speaker C:He cannot.
Speaker A:Tell him.
Speaker A:I've never met you a day in my life, house elf.
Speaker A:Yet here you are, just being.
Speaker A:Just being in my way constantly.
Speaker A:You're constantly showing up to be in my way.
Speaker B:This is ridiculous.
Speaker D:He's trying to thwart him the best way he knows how.
Speaker D:And none of them are really violent.
Speaker A:What?
Speaker D:You know, he wanted Harry Potter to get hit by the Bludger.
Speaker D:He didn't want him to die.
Speaker D:And if Gilderoy hadn't stepped in, he just would have had a broken bone, a broken elbow, you know, whatever.
Speaker D:We could fix that.
Speaker D:You know, he wasn't trying to kill him.
Speaker C:If I'm Harry, I am choking out Dobby at this point because you put this Bludger on me.
Speaker C:You stopped me from going to school.
Speaker C:You hid my letters from me like you were just making my life a living hell.
Speaker C:And this is only the second time that I've ever met you.
Speaker C:Why do I want to deal with you?
Speaker C:No.
Speaker C:I'm going to kill you now and in my own suffering.
Speaker B:Oh, damn.
Speaker D:And you know, this is all coming from a good place.
Speaker D:Like, Dobby is doing this at the expense of himself.
Speaker D:Every time he does something to Harry to thwart him, he ends up having to hurt himself.
Speaker D:He's literally putting his body on the line.
Speaker B:He could just not do that and then he wouldn't have to hurt himself.
Speaker B:He could just leave Harry alone.
Speaker D:He's trying to save Harry.
Speaker B:Not very good at it.
Speaker B:But one thing we learned from this visit, also from Dobby, is that this is not the first time that the Chamber of Secrets has been open.
Speaker B:So he confirms there's a Chamber of Secrets and he confirms that it's been opened before.
Speaker B:So, oh, my gosh.
Speaker B:As they're talking, there are some people coming, and Dobby disappears.
Speaker B:And we learn that Colin Creevey has been petrified.
Speaker B:He did have his camera up, and they try to open it up to see if maybe he got a picture, and the camera melts and the film kind of just goes away.
Speaker B:So McGonagall asks Dumbledore, what does this mean?
Speaker B:And Dumbledore says, this means the Chamber of Secrets have been opened again.
Speaker B:Double confirmation.
Speaker B:There is a Chamber of Secrets and it has been opened before because Dumbledore said again, double tap.
Speaker B:You gotta double tap.
Speaker B:And we gotta double tap.
Speaker A:The fact that this man knows has been opened again means he probably also knows where it is and how to close it.
Speaker A:So we should be able to wrap this up right here.
Speaker B:Here is a quote that supports what Kevin's saying.
Speaker B:Because McGonagall says, well, who would do that?
Speaker B:And Dumbledore says it's not about who, but how.
Speaker B:Dumbledore has no any slight qualms or, or any inclusion.
Speaker B:He knows who's doing it.
Speaker B:He just wants to know how right?
Speaker D:He could do something about it.
Speaker B:And he does nothing.
Speaker B:And that's the end of chapter 10.
Speaker A:Ridiculous Dumbledore.
Speaker A:Listen, I.
Speaker A:Once again, I said before, he knows everything going on at this place and just be letting happen.
Speaker B:Awful, awful.
Speaker B:And we'll get into it.
Speaker B:Like, I don't even want to go down this rabbit hole.
Speaker B:But anyways, so the next morning, Harry Potter's bones are back, but his arm's a little stiff.
Speaker B:So Madame Pomfrey kind of works it out for him and says, okay, you're good, get out.
Speaker B:And he goes looking for Ron and Hermione.
Speaker B:He can't find them anywhere.
Speaker B:He runs into Percy.
Speaker B:And the first thing Percy does is congratulate him on his great Quidditch match.
Speaker B:And he got 50 points for Gryffindor.
Speaker B:Good for you.
Speaker B:And so he's like, hey, have you seen Ron anywhere?
Speaker B:And Percy's like, I don't know.
Speaker B:He better not be in another girl's bathroom.
Speaker B:And Harry goes, yep, he's probably in girl's bathroom.
Speaker B:And that's where he finds Harry and Ron.
Speaker B:I mean, Ron and Hermione, they're in Moaning Myrtle's bathroom and they're working on the Polyjuice Potions.
Speaker B:And at first Carrie's like, damn, I was a little butthurt.
Speaker B:You guys weren't waiting for me.
Speaker B:They're like, hey, we, we heard about Colin and that's why we got to get in here and get this potion brewing because, oh my gosh, another person gets petrified.
Speaker B:So Harry's like, yep, you're right.
Speaker B:Let's do it.
Speaker B:He tells him about the Dobby visit and Ron gives a little quote like, he better stop trying to say savior.
Speaker B:He's gonna kill you.
Speaker B:Which Dobby is horrible.
Speaker B:At saving people.
Speaker A:Yeah.
Speaker C:Which I don't understand how everybody knows about Colin when it's supposed to be a secret but nobody knows Harry's secret of like Adobe visiting.
Speaker C:Like who?
Speaker C:The gossip network?
Speaker C:How do people know these things that are supposed to be secrets but then there's other secrets that just never gets out.
Speaker B:It's the stuff that, that people care about like the really sensational tea.
Speaker B:Nobody cares that Harry Potter has an imaginary friend.
Speaker B:Who cares?
Speaker D:They had to like carry Colin like through the halls.
Speaker D:Other people saw him Dobby just Apparate in and out like who else is.
Speaker B:Going to see him?
Speaker B:So they all think Lucius Malfoy was the one who opened the the Chamber, you know, in the first place.
Speaker B:And we all know that their favorite target for someone's done it is Malfoy or Snape.
Speaker B:But I think it's funny when it actually is Malfoy Snape.
Speaker B:Later they don't think it's that.
Speaker B:Whatever.
Speaker A:Well they grow out of it okay?
Speaker A:They grow out of it later.
Speaker B:They grow out of it in the wrong time.
Speaker B:They, they did it in reverse.
Speaker B:They should have switched that.
Speaker B:So everybody's tents around Hogwart and they're all scared.
Speaker B:The first years don't go anywhere by themselves.
Speaker B:The Fred and Jenny of course is distraught because we know she's the one doing it and she's upset and Fred and George are trying to cheer her up by like making fun of her but it's not working.
Speaker B:And Percy's telling him stop and getting upset.
Speaker B:Whatever.
Speaker B:A black market pops up for protective charms, which I think is hilarious.
Speaker B:And everyone's trying to figure out oh no, who's going to be next.
Speaker B:Who's going to be next?
Speaker B:Neville's moaning oh no, it might be me.
Speaker B:And they're like you're freaking pure blood.
Speaker B:What are you talking about?
Speaker B:And Neville says something that makes me really feels sad for him.
Speaker B:It feels like he really needs a good therapist.
Speaker B:He has zero self esteem.
Speaker B:He's like, everyone knows I'm almost a Squib.
Speaker B:I'm like damn dude.
Speaker C:Not wrong.
Speaker C:Not wrong though.
Speaker B:Somebody needs to go give Neville a hug.
Speaker B:Damn.
Speaker B:Anyways, so they get to the point of the Polyjuice Potion of realizing that they are gonna have to steal some stuff to finish it.
Speaker B:And of course Hermione, who is the mastermind this whole thing has already thought up a plan.
Speaker B:She says you need to create a distraction in potions and then someone can go in and steal.
Speaker B:And so of course Ron and Harry like it's not going to be Us, because of course he's going to suspect us.
Speaker B:It's going to be Hermione.
Speaker B:She's going to run into Snape's stores and steal the things they need for Polyjuice Potion.
Speaker B:So in Potions class, they set off a Fred's Filibuster and it lands.
Speaker B:In crabs?
Speaker B:No, in Goyle's Cauldron.
Speaker B:And it explodes.
Speaker B:And they happen to be making a swelling solution.
Speaker B:Why would you need this?
Speaker B:I don't know.
Speaker B:But they're making, making it and it gets on all the people that are all around Crab.
Speaker B:So all parts, like Malfoy's nose starts swelling.
Speaker B:People's.
Speaker B:All parts of their body start swelling.
Speaker B:As everything's going crazy, Hermione runs into Snape's store and grabs the stuff that is needed.
Speaker B:Snape has to heal everybody.
Speaker B:And he basically says, if I find out who did it, you're gonna be out.
Speaker B:And of course he's looking at Harry Potter the entire time because he, he's like, I know it was you, but.
Speaker B:But he would blame Harry Potter no matter what.
Speaker A:So us stated that the kids be looking at Snape and Malfoy all the time.
Speaker A:It's, it's the same for them.
Speaker A:They look at Harry as.
Speaker A:It's always his fault, according to those two.
Speaker B:In this case, it was his fault.
Speaker B:He did it.
Speaker B:And so now Harry's like, damn, he, he knows it's me.
Speaker B:He's gonna retaliate.
Speaker B:And so he's all, he's like, oh no, what's he gonna do?
Speaker D:What would you need a swelling potion for?
Speaker D:Like, what are we swelling?
Speaker B:Well, a guy might need a swelling.
Speaker C:Yeah, wizards don't have Viagra.
Speaker C:You do what you gotta do.
Speaker B:I don't know why a second year needs to know about the swelling.
Speaker D:Hogwarts After Dark.
Speaker A:All right.
Speaker B:We have a swelling potion.
Speaker B:I don't know.
Speaker B:So about a week later, they see this poster up for a dueling club.
Speaker B:And so everyone's like, oh, it's gonna be so fun.
Speaker B:We can't wait to do it.
Speaker B:Until they get to it and realize it's being run by Gilderoy Lockhart.
Speaker B:And now everybody's all sad.
Speaker B:So Gilderoy is there.
Speaker B:He has Snape there as his assistant.
Speaker B:Which of course we can see how happy Snape is about that.
Speaker B:And they first decide to kind of model how to duel for the kids.
Speaker B:Of course, Snape wipes the floor with Gilderoy very easily.
Speaker B:And Gilderoy tried with the Expelliarmus spell.
Speaker B:Our first Expelliarmus and the only spell Harry Potter has learned.
Speaker B:So obviously Snape's good enough teacher because he taught him that one spell.
Speaker B:He tries to play it off.
Speaker B:Gilder tries to play.
Speaker B:Oh, I knew it was coming a mile away.
Speaker B:I just let you hit me because I wanted them to see.
Speaker B:And then he basically gets afraid because he knows Snape will kick his butt.
Speaker B:Which he probably knew that ahead of time.
Speaker B:And he said, okay, everybody pair off.
Speaker B:Let's all duel.
Speaker B:And so chaos ensues because the kids just start throwing everything.
Speaker B:He's like, wait, no, only try to disarm each other.
Speaker B:The kids are like, they're throwing everything.
Speaker B:Hermione ends up in a headlock with Melissa.
Speaker B:Millicent Bolstro.
Speaker B:Like, it goes crazy.
Speaker B:It goes crazy.
Speaker B:So they get the, they get everyone back together.
Speaker B:And then they're like, yeah, maybe we should do a little one on one action instead.
Speaker B:And so of course, Snape orchestrates for Harry Potter and Draco Malfoy to go against each other.
Speaker D:Small thing.
Speaker D:Dumbledore approved the Dueling Club so that they could defend themselves.
Speaker D:What the fuck are you going to defend yourself against?
Speaker D:And it's petrifying you like, like you're gonna be.
Speaker C:It's obviously not happening in a duel.
Speaker C:You're right, right.
Speaker B:You're not doing, you're not bowing.
Speaker B:There's no 10 dual commandments here.
Speaker D:Like to the Basilisk, like, what are we doing here, Dumbledore?
Speaker A:I don't know that the dueling was to learn for this particular situation.
Speaker A:I think it was for general knowledge.
Speaker A:So that way they're ready to go at another point in their lives.
Speaker B:I think it was to make them feel like they were doing something because I'm sure they could tell how panicked everyone was, how on edge everyone else.
Speaker B:So it's like, at least you can feel like I'm preparing myself in some way.
Speaker B:Even though this would not help you at all.
Speaker B:But sometimes people just need something to do.
Speaker A:True.
Speaker A:I did love when they were excited about the Dueling club.
Speaker A:Harry's like, as long as a certain teacher.
Speaker A:And then in walks in both Snape and Lockhart and he's like, well, neither one of them is who I would have referred to.
Speaker B:I said not to have involved.
Speaker B:They were like, we thought it was Professor Flick Litwick.
Speaker D:Right.
Speaker B:Which that would have been a better idea, especially since he's like a dueling master.
Speaker B:Anyways, so they face off and they start throwing all the different spells at them.
Speaker B:And then Snape whispers into Draco's ear and he Sends out a serpent spell.
Speaker B:And the snake jumps out there.
Speaker B:And so everyone's like, oh, it's a snake.
Speaker B:And Snape's like, okay, I'll get rid of it.
Speaker B:And G is like, no, I can do it.
Speaker B:And then he's.
Speaker B:He's completely ineffectual.
Speaker B:He hits it.
Speaker B:It pops into the air and drops down closer to the students, particularly Justin Finch.
Speaker B:Fleshly, you know, the Muggle born Hufflepuff.
Speaker B:And so Harry steps forward and speaks parcel tongue and tells the snape stop.
Speaker B:And the Snape in me.
Speaker B:Okay, I wanna.
Speaker B:I wanna note this.
Speaker B:As soon as Harry talks to the Snape, it immediately stops and turns to Harry as if he's waiting for his next command end.
Speaker B:Which means it's pretty clear Harry told the snake to snap to stop.
Speaker B:So Harry's very excited, like, oh, I stopped it.
Speaker B:Oh.
Speaker B:And I know the snake's not gonna do any.
Speaker B:The snake is listening to him.
Speaker B:And so he turns to Justin to think, oh, hey, man, I got you.
Speaker B:You're fine.
Speaker B:And Justin's like, what the hell?
Speaker B:What are you playing out?
Speaker A:And.
Speaker B:And so Harry's like, what?
Speaker B:I just saved you.
Speaker B:Snape gets rid of the snake.
Speaker B:Ron and Hermione get Harry out of there.
Speaker B:And then they're like, what the.
Speaker B:You're a parcel mouse.
Speaker B:When did.
Speaker B:Why didn't you tell us?
Speaker B:And we know Harry's stupid.
Speaker B:He don't know nothing.
Speaker A:He's like, hold on, hold on right here.
Speaker A:I can't say that he's stupid because he thinks he is just talking to the snake in English.
Speaker A:He has no idea that he's speaking parcel tongue.
Speaker A:He does not know this.
Speaker A:He just says, hey, don't.
Speaker A:Because remember when he talked to the snake that said that he.
Speaker A:That he ain't never been to Brazil?
Speaker B:Yes.
Speaker A:He should have thought the snake was talking to him.
Speaker A:He didn't know that.
Speaker A:He said he didn't know.
Speaker A:He said that.
Speaker A:Yeah, he had no idea.
Speaker A:He thought he was just saying, okay, snake, get up on out of here.
Speaker A:And he also thought, this is a common wizard.
Speaker A:Like, don't we all talk to snakes?
Speaker A:And they're like, no, my die.
Speaker A:No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
Speaker A:We don't all talk to snake.
Speaker A:Just like.
Speaker A:We don't all just see, like, visions of people.
Speaker A:And like, this is some, like, weird you, right?
Speaker A:This is some weird you.
Speaker B:You've been hearing this voice this whole time and now you're talking to states mofo.
Speaker B:What's going on?
Speaker B:Why aren't you telling.
Speaker A:Correct.
Speaker A:This is you.
Speaker A:And so he didn't know.
Speaker A:So I can't say on this one.
Speaker A:Harry does a lot of stupid.
Speaker A:This one, this is not.
Speaker C:We can get a pass for this.
Speaker B:He'll give him a pass.
Speaker B:Fine, but.
Speaker B:So they have to educate him and tell him that it's very rare to be a parcel mouth.
Speaker B:In fact, the reason why the, the logo for Slytherins is a snake is because Salazar Slytherin was a parson mouth and most people aren't.
Speaker B:And that the Heir of Slytherin would most likely be able to speak parcel tongue.
Speaker B:And so now they're like, you could be related to Salazar Southern.
Speaker B:He lived thousands of years ago.
Speaker B:You could be his heir.
Speaker B:So of course that makes Harry feeling self conscious because we already know that the Sorting Hat wanted to put him in Slytherin when he first got the Hogwarts.
Speaker B:So.
Speaker B:And he's never told this to Ron and Hermione and we know he tells them everything.
Speaker B:So this got him feeling some type of, type of way.
Speaker B:So after this incident, people are avoiding him like the plague.
Speaker B:They're like, I ain't, I ain't with that dude.
Speaker B:I like him.
Speaker B:Like, who knows?
Speaker B:Like, he talks to snakes.
Speaker B:This is not okay.
Speaker B:Because mostly dark wizards talk to snakes.
Speaker B:So as the next day they have a blizzard.
Speaker B:So herbology is canceled.
Speaker B:And Harry cannot get over the fact that Justin is mad at him or thinks that he was trying to egg the snake on, which they say it looked like you're trying to egg it on.
Speaker B:How?
Speaker B:When?
Speaker B:When he talked to it, it stopped Houseway.
Speaker C:Right?
Speaker B:Makes no sense.
Speaker D:You ain't got the answer sweat.
Speaker B:So he goes looking for Justin to try to explain what happened.
Speaker B:And he gets into the the library and he sees the Hufflepuffs over there gossiping like, okay, well they'll know where, where Justin is.
Speaker B:And he overhears them gossiping about him and saying, you know what?
Speaker B:Harry probably is the heir.
Speaker B:You saw him try to do that.
Speaker B:And, and Colin Creevey got it because he was annoying Harry and you know he hates filch and that's what he did to Mrs.
Speaker B:Norris.
Speaker B:So Harry listens to this for a while and he gets mean and so gets mad.
Speaker B:So he jumps out and he confronts them and he confronts Ernie McMillan because McMillan was the one who was talking all that shit.
Speaker A:Ernie got a big set of balls on him, man.
Speaker A:Ernie's out here.
Speaker A:He knows this dude speaks partial toe.
Speaker A:He knows this dude could be the Heir of Slytherin.
Speaker A:Yet he's like, just so you know, I have a Long lineage of Wizardborn.
Speaker B:Just So you know, McMillan is a pure blood.
Speaker B:He's one of the sacred 28.
Speaker B:But the funny thing is, is when Harry pops out, he's.
Speaker B:At first he's like, harry.
Speaker B:Well, you know what?
Speaker B:Yeah, he tries to be all like, big about, yeah, we know it's you.
Speaker B:And we know that you hated.
Speaker B:You hated your Muggle, the Muggles you were living with.
Speaker B:We all know that.
Speaker B:And then he's like, but by the way, I'm a Pure Blood.
Speaker B:So if, if you are coming for.
Speaker A:Anybody, if you were thinking about it, I'm not the one.
Speaker B:I.
Speaker B:It ain't me.
Speaker B:Right?
Speaker A:Don't be looking in here.
Speaker B:So on one hand, one hand, he was all trying to be big and bad.
Speaker B:But he also was like, by the way, don't come for me.
Speaker B:I'm a Pure Blood.
Speaker B:Try one of these motherfuckers.
Speaker A:Go get somebody else.
Speaker A:If you were thinking about it, because you shouldn't have been thinking about it.
Speaker A:Because I got that Pure Blood in me.
Speaker B:Blood sacred 28 right here.
Speaker A:But Justin, he is hiding from you.
Speaker B:Yeah, Justin's hiding.
Speaker B:He ain't coming down because he's hiding from me.
Speaker A:So wait, then Harry says, did you not hear me trying to tell him that to turn the snake.
Speaker A:To turn the snake away either.
Speaker B:I heard, yeah, I heard you.
Speaker B:Speaking partial tongue.
Speaker D:But also he knows that like Hermione is part of his crew.
Speaker D:So that doesn't track either.
Speaker B:This just shows how stupid people get when they're panicked.
Speaker B:Right?
Speaker D:Very true, very true.
Speaker B:They're afraid.
Speaker B:They're not thinking straight.
Speaker B:It don't make sense.
Speaker B:And they don't care.
Speaker B:They just need.
Speaker B:Need some answers.
Speaker C:No, this is when people say, I have one black friend.
Speaker C:Hermione is his one non magical blood friend.
Speaker B:I mean, yeah, because his other friend is a Pure Blood.
Speaker B:So, yeah, this is, this could be like, oh, yeah.
Speaker B:My, my, my street cred.
Speaker D:I love my blood.
Speaker D:I got, I got.
Speaker B:I got a friend.
Speaker B:I got a friend.
Speaker B:I got one friend.
Speaker B:Yeah.
Speaker B:So Harry leaves.
Speaker B:He's pissed off.
Speaker B:He's walking through the castle aimlessly.
Speaker B:He always seems to be aimlessly walking.
Speaker B:I think he needs a hobby.
Speaker B:He runs into Hagr, right?
Speaker B:Hagrid has a dead rooster and he, and he lets us know that a lot of roosters and little things have been coming up dead around the campus.
Speaker B:I wonder why.
Speaker B:And he notices that Harry's feeling kind of down.
Speaker B:He's like, hey, you need anything?
Speaker B:Harry's like, no, I'm fine, whatever.
Speaker B:And he walks off and of course, he walks and literally stumbles over Justin Finch Fletchley and nearly had Headless Nick.
Speaker B:Nick.
Speaker B:And they're both petrified.
Speaker B:And Nick being a ghost, he's petrified in a weird way.
Speaker B:He went from being all gray and shadowy to being like dark black looking.
Speaker B:Like someone, like, dipped him in some soot or something.
Speaker D:Isn't that some.
Speaker D:That you could die and still be susceptible to?
Speaker D:Like, I should have to deal with this anymore.
Speaker D:I am dead.
Speaker B:Like, I.
Speaker B:I served my time, I did my death thing.
Speaker A:How about the fact that JFF is on is hiding?
Speaker A:Yeah, he still gets got.
Speaker A:You know what I'm saying?
Speaker B:Like, well, he was coming down for transfiguration class, right?
Speaker B:Because he's Lemony Snicket.
Speaker A:He is a Series of unfortunate events or jff, man.
Speaker A:And that dude was supposed to be trying to stay out of the practice, yet here he is, still getting petrified.
Speaker B:But this don't look good for HP either, because they were saying, oh, we know you're trying to go after Justin because he told you he was muggleboard.
Speaker B:And who's the next one against petrified?
Speaker B:Like, dang, it's not looking good for you.
Speaker C:And why is Harry always the first one on the scene whenever something happens?
Speaker C:Happens?
Speaker A:Like, that's a bigger question.
Speaker C:It's not looking good, my guy.
Speaker B:He needs to just go his ass to class and go his ass back to his dorm.
Speaker D:Never where the he's supposed to be.
Speaker B:Like, just be where you're supposed to be, Harry, for once.
Speaker A:Well, that's one thing that's crazy though, about Harry just walking around is that you going to stumble on some if you just walking around.
Speaker A:And he always be stumbling on some.
Speaker B:Yep.
Speaker A:Yeah.
Speaker B:So.
Speaker B:And.
Speaker B:And that's the thing.
Speaker B:That's why people think he's guilty.
Speaker B:Like, he always just happens to be around.
Speaker B:Like, come on now, now.
Speaker B:So Harry has a dilemma at this point.
Speaker B:He's like, oh, I could just not be here unless someone else find them or I can go tell someone.
Speaker B:And as he's trying to figure out what he's gonna do, Peeves comes along and Peeves blows up his spot and was just like, oh my God, look.
Speaker B:Attack, attack, attack.
Speaker B:And then everybody comes running out.
Speaker B:Where they all were, I don't know.
Speaker B:But somehow they were right where they needed to be.
Speaker B:I also note that while he's finding Justin's body, everything, there are spiders that are also running away.
Speaker B:So.
Speaker C:So it happens in the halls, but, like, you hear attack, attack, attack.
Speaker C:And then everyone comes running out of the classrooms.
Speaker B:Like, right.
Speaker C:The teachers not maintain any control where they can tell those kids.
Speaker B:That's how you know there weren't.
Speaker B:There weren't very many black wizards.
Speaker B:Because if I hear attack, attack, attack.
Speaker B:I ain't running towards it.
Speaker C:You know who is not noted there?
Speaker C:Dean.
Speaker A:Dean ain't there.
Speaker B:Dean was not there.
Speaker C:Blaze.
Speaker B:Blaze was like, I'm good.
Speaker B:Angelina was like, I'm cool.
Speaker B:Tell me about it later.
Speaker A:Like, you guys are so right.
Speaker A:The moment that they're like, we're running towards some deep.
Speaker A:Dean looked at Angelina in class and actually spin it.
Speaker A:And they said, I think we're gonna go ahead and sit right here.
Speaker A:And we're gonna go.
Speaker A:We're gonna go ahead and stay right here because I don't know what's going on out there and I'm not going to figure it out.
Speaker D:They said, sit the down.
Speaker A:I'm definitely double phone not going nowhere.
Speaker B:Dean being a muggle bar, he's like, I'm definitely not going over there.
Speaker A:Because why?
Speaker D:Because he wasn't walking down the halls by himself.
Speaker D:Like, why would you just not there by yourself.
Speaker B:Yeah.
Speaker C:Which I know we're not at the movie yet, but how did Dean not go first in the movie?
Speaker B:Right?
Speaker B:I'm not gonna get into any records.
Speaker B:I'm just gonna go ahead and do what I.
Speaker C:He doesn't go anywhere without Seamus.
Speaker C:He's like, you will protect me.
Speaker C:You are my shield.
Speaker B:You're my shield.
Speaker B:Like, boom.
Speaker A:You first.
Speaker B:So everyone comes running.
Speaker B:They see it.
Speaker B:They're all like, harry's here again.
Speaker B:It was him.
Speaker B:And then Ernie McMillan with his dumbass.
Speaker D:Is like, I knew it's him.
Speaker B:He's got went red handed.
Speaker A:I'm like, Listen, Ernie McMillan said, Listen, I told JFF to hide and don't be coming near you.
Speaker A:Yet here we are, and he's sitting at your feet and you trying to tell me it wasn't you.
Speaker A:But here you are, car.
Speaker A:You got caught with the gun.
Speaker A:You sitting here with the smoking gun.
Speaker A:And said, I don't know how he did this to him.
Speaker A:That's how he called it.
Speaker C:And once again, Harry needs to go full Shaggy.
Speaker C:Wasn't me.
Speaker A:At this point, though, I don't know if that Shaggy mode would work because he's standing right here.
Speaker A:It's conspicuous.
Speaker A:It's too.
Speaker A:It's too much that it just happens to be.
Speaker A:You know what I'm saying?
Speaker A:This is like the second time you just tell me that you just happened upon this two different times.
Speaker A:Come on, man.
Speaker B:And he's just always in the thick of things.
Speaker A:You need more people.
Speaker B:Like you just happened upon that troll.
Speaker B:Nobody believes you Harry.
Speaker C:No one caught him red handed creeping with the girl next door.
Speaker C:And you still say it wasn't me.
Speaker C:That's how it works.
Speaker B:That's how it works.
Speaker B:You're holding the thing in your hand.
Speaker B:It wasn't me.
Speaker B:But it disappeared.
Speaker B:It operated here.
Speaker C:I don't know exactly.
Speaker B:So McGonagall's there, takes control of the scene.
Speaker B:She's like y'all get out of here.
Speaker B:Peeves is still trying to cause a ruckus.
Speaker B:She's like peeves, leave.
Speaker B:Peace is scared of her because he, he tried to do a little song.
Speaker B:And McDonald's like cut.
Speaker B:And Peeves cuts out.
Speaker B:So Magono's like hey, it's out of my hands Potter.
Speaker B:You're caught like right here.
Speaker B:So she walks them over to Dumbledore's office.
Speaker B:His password is Lemon drop by the way everybody in case you want to go to dumb office.
Speaker B:And.
Speaker B:And she drops him off there.
Speaker B:And that is the end of chapter 11, chapter 12 Polyjuice potions.
Speaker B:We find Harry in Dumbledore's office.
Speaker B:Dumbledore is nowhere to be seen.
Speaker B:Now why would you drop a child off in an office with nobody in there?
Speaker A:Like that is true.
Speaker A:I'm gonna get attached to that.
Speaker D:The pictures are watching him.
Speaker B:The pictures were all asleep.
Speaker B:It was noted that the pictures were all asleep and he was just standing in the office by himself.
Speaker C:Because McGonagall knows that Harry would never do anything to jeopardize his future Quidditch career.
Speaker B:McGonagall was just, just caught him red handed petrifying people.
Speaker D:And I also wonder too could he get out?
Speaker D:Like would that gargoyle let him out without Dumbledore's permission?
Speaker D:I don't know.
Speaker B:We never see how he leaves Dumbledore's office.
Speaker B:We only see him going into Dumbledore's office.
Speaker C:If Harry is dumb enough to stay in Filch's office when he's in trouble, he ain't going anywhere.
Speaker C:When he's in Dumbledore's office, he's fine.
Speaker B:Tammy got a point.
Speaker D:And the sporting hat is in there.
Speaker D:There's all kind of office watching Harry.
Speaker B:So speaking of the Sorting Hat, like Natasha said, he's in there.
Speaker B:He sees the sorting Hat, you know, he's, he's having worries.
Speaker B:He's a parcel mouth.
Speaker B:And that might mean he might be the air Slytherin.
Speaker B:So he puts the hat on and how goes what's.
Speaker B:What do you want Harry?
Speaker B:What do you want?
Speaker B:What's your, what's your beef?
Speaker B:And he's like, are you sure?
Speaker B:Like I'm wondering.
Speaker B:And has like, oh, you think?
Speaker B:All right, do, do you think I made a wrong decision or you're asking if I made a wrong decision.
Speaker B:And Harry's like, yeah.
Speaker B:And the Sorting hat says, I stand by it.
Speaker B:You would have done great.
Speaker B:And Sly Harry's not happy about that.
Speaker B:So he rips the hat off and kind of throws it back on the shelf.
Speaker B:And then he sees an old disgusting, nasty bird and he's like, what's going on with this thing?
Speaker B:And then it like explodes and sets itself on fire.
Speaker B:And of course that's when Dumbledore walks in.
Speaker C:But I'm sure Harry was looking for Seamus.
Speaker C:He was like, fire.
Speaker C:Something blew up.
Speaker C:Where's Seamus?
Speaker B:But this is twice in like five minutes that Harry is pretty much kind of caught red handed, like, like destroying something.
Speaker B:So he's not having a good run right now.
Speaker B:So Dumbledore comes in, he's like, look, I, I swear your bird, I don't know what happened, it just caught on fire.
Speaker B:I didn't do anything.
Speaker B:Dumber's like, oh no, it's all good.
Speaker B:We learned that this is his Phoenix Fox, which we know he's, he's named after Guy Fawkes, which he was the guy who had the plot to blow up Parliament.
Speaker B:So I guess that makes sense to name a phoenix after someone who blew something up.
Speaker B:Especially when it just blows up up and, and he's like, hey, he's a phoenix.
Speaker B:He's supposed to do that.
Speaker B:I've been waiting for this bird to go ahead and do that and regenerate itself.
Speaker B:And here's where we learn some important things about phoenixes.
Speaker B:Keep this in mind for later.
Speaker B:One, they can carry immensely heavy loads.
Speaker B:Two, their tears have healing powers.
Speaker B:Why have we not tried it on the petrified people?
Speaker B:I don't know.
Speaker B:But something to keep in mind, they.
Speaker D:Can heal because we have the Mandrakes.
Speaker D:We don't, we don't need it.
Speaker B:It.
Speaker B:We're waiting for magic to grow up.
Speaker B:Maybe take some tears and heal them now.
Speaker B:I don't know.
Speaker B:All right.
Speaker B:And then three, they are highly faithful.
Speaker B:I wonder if that's gonna come back into play later.
Speaker B:We'll see.
Speaker B:So anyways, at this point Hagrid busts into the office and he basically like, I'm trying to.
Speaker B:I'm here to affirm Harry's innocence.
Speaker B:I was just with him seconds earlier in the corridor.
Speaker B:He couldn't possibly have done it and blah blah, blah.
Speaker B:And Dumbledore is finally able to get through it and be like Hagrid, I don't think he did.
Speaker B:And Hag is like oh okay.
Speaker B:Then peace out.
Speaker B:He like just leaves.
Speaker B:Like he literally goes okay fine and leaves the office.
Speaker B:Like I don't.
Speaker B:I don't even know what.
Speaker B:I don't even know what to say to that.
Speaker B:Anyway, so he Dumbledore asks Harry like first.
Speaker B:Harry's like oh, thank you for not thinking it was me.
Speaker B:It wasn't him.
Speaker B:Was like it's fine.
Speaker B:It wasn't you.
Speaker B:But is there anything you need to tell me?
Speaker B:And at this point this might be when I would tell everything going on it supposedly most powerful wizard ever.
Speaker B:All the that's going on.
Speaker A:Well I found that I speak snake.
Speaker A:That's the thing.
Speaker B:Yet Harry doesn't say anything.
Speaker D:But what would you really tell him at this point?
Speaker B:And I've been hearing voices in the hall that's been saying it wants to kill and then all these people are keep getting hurt and this house elf.
Speaker A:Keeps popping up and telling me there's some going down and I don't know what it is.
Speaker A:These are just three things I don't know off the top of my head that I would run by this dude.
Speaker B:Yep.
Speaker B:And.
Speaker B:And I might, I might mention that I'm pretty sure that house elf belongs to the mouth.
Speaker A:He doesn't know the mouth.
Speaker A:Yeah, he does not know about the.
Speaker D:House elf belongs to the Mouth boys that the house.
Speaker D:Who the house.
Speaker B:Yeah, he's pretty sure they already and we know Malfoy is their favorite target but they've already hypothesized that he belongs to Malfoys.
Speaker B:And if you look at the things Dobby said, there's plenty of clues.
Speaker A:Yes.
Speaker A:But that one is just one that we all.
Speaker A:That's just like a role thing that I always feel if I'm hairy that is probably a Malfoy Shenanigans.
Speaker A:But Natasha, those other three things are things that I'm definitely are easy things I could just say listen, I thought I heard.
Speaker A:If you hear things that's pretty fucked up.
Speaker A:I'm hearing things.
Speaker A:I talked to a snake.
Speaker A:Everybody freaked out.
Speaker A:That's also weird.
Speaker A:I didn't know I could do that.
Speaker D:Dumbledore had to know he was a Parselmouth though because Snape was like hey, this kid talked to the snake during the door.
Speaker D:You know and.
Speaker A:And then there's this house house elf that keeps popping up and I don't know anything about that.
Speaker A:But he said there's some dangerous going on and I flew here in a car that I didn't know about.
Speaker A:So Natasha, you're 100 correct that Dumbledore knows all these things.
Speaker A:But he says there anything you should tell me Harry?
Speaker A:Harry should have been like any of these things because he doesn't know that Dumbledore knows these things.
Speaker A:Because you're right, he does know all this but he don't know that.
Speaker A:So when he thinks of all these things, right, he says no, I'm good.
Speaker A:That's wild.
Speaker B:Nothing to say.
Speaker C:Which is funny because Harry thinks of every single thing he should tell Dumbledore and Dumbledore reads it off of him because Dumbledore is a skilled legilimens.
Speaker C:And then Harry's like nope, I'm good.
Speaker C:And Dumbledore's like cool.
Speaker A:Okay, so we know that Snape is legitimate those legitimacy as well.
Speaker A:I don't think that snake is constantly reading the kids minds but I think that Dumbledore we.
Speaker A:I talked about before how I think Dumbledore knows everything going on.
Speaker A:I think he just stay reading minds if he thinks he needs to.
Speaker A:So.
Speaker B:And that's why we hardly see him, right?
Speaker B:Because he's too busy in everybody's business.
Speaker A:In this situation when he's like is there anything you need to tell me?
Speaker A:He's already running through it.
Speaker A:Normally though, when Harry was having the first conversation he wasn't just reading his mind, he was chilling.
Speaker A:But he's like anything else?
Speaker A:And after he's like, he's like cool.
Speaker A:Let me get up in there.
Speaker A:Yeah, okay.
Speaker A:That, that interesting.
Speaker C:That.
Speaker A:Okay.
Speaker A:Okay, that, that got it.
Speaker A:Okay Harry, you're free to go.
Speaker D:And.
Speaker B:And yeah, and that, that's pretty much it that happens in this office.
Speaker B:Again, Dumbledore knows all the stuff and we still have like what, what?
Speaker B:Six more chapters.
Speaker B:Anyways, back to the story.
Speaker B:So at this point everyone at Hogwarts is panicked.
Speaker B:There have been three and if you count Nearly Headless Nick, four victims so far of whatever this thing is.
Speaker A:You said if you count Nearly Headless Nick, that's the most terrifying one.
Speaker A:That dude's already dead and he died again.
Speaker B:What kind of thing can do that to a ghost?
Speaker B:Everyone's like what the.
Speaker B:And so there.
Speaker B:Everyone's panicked and it's coming up on Christmas and a lot of people sometimes stay at Hogwarts for Christmas.
Speaker B:Not this time.
Speaker B:Pretty much everybody's trying to leave except for our Golden Trio and the Weasleys and of course Draco.
Speaker B:And Crab and Goyle are there because Crab and Go just follow Draco around.
Speaker B:And Draco knows he's safe because he's a pure blood and he ain't going, he ain't going nowhere.
Speaker B:So they're all staying for Christmas.
Speaker B:And we learn on Christmas that the poly juice potion is done.
Speaker A:So the fact that a potion is able to boil in a bathroom, why has no one come to just clean the restroom?
Speaker B:Remember that's Morning Myrtle's bathroom.
Speaker B:No one goes in there because she's in there and they hate her and she's annoying.
Speaker B:So you don't need custodial.
Speaker B:Right.
Speaker C:What about Filch?
Speaker A:He's gotta come by just to check.
Speaker B:So no one goes in there because no one uses it.
Speaker B:So Filch isn't going to do extra work.
Speaker B:You think Filch is going to do extra work work.
Speaker C:So just because that out of order sign is up there, Filch doesn't go.
Speaker B:In Philly does his job as it is.
Speaker A:That's wild to me.
Speaker B:Yeah, I mean clearly at least for a month.
Speaker B:Because this shit's been boiling for a month.
Speaker B:So at least for the last month he hasn't been in there.
Speaker D:Wait, wait, can we also real quick here.
Speaker D:Fred, George, Jenny and Ron stay Hogwarts over Christmas.
Speaker D:Oh and as well.
Speaker D:So instead of getting like a Christmas job, what do they call those?
Speaker D:A seasonal job.
Speaker D:You know because Arthur and Molly need a little extra money, right?
Speaker D:Christmas coming up for these kids.
Speaker A:They're checking on their son though.
Speaker B:They go on vacation, they go to visit their sons in Egypt.
Speaker D:They need a seasonal job because they don't have money for books every year.
Speaker D:They don't have, they have two grown.
Speaker B:Ass sons with good jobs who don't help out the family.
Speaker D:That's not their jobs.
Speaker D:Molly and Arthur could have got seasonal work.
Speaker D:Work at you know, flourishing Box or the Green somewhere.
Speaker B:They can help, they can help their family out like but they're going to.
Speaker C:Egypt to visit Bill.
Speaker C:So like it doesn't cost anything for them to go on vacation.
Speaker A:Boom.
Speaker C:You apparate to Egypt, that's free.
Speaker C:You stay at Bill's house, that's free.
Speaker C:He feeds you while you're there, that's free.
Speaker C:That sounds like a free ass vacation to me.
Speaker D:But they had the time.
Speaker D:They had the time take on some extra work.
Speaker D:So that the fact that you think.
Speaker A:Think that they would let Arthur Weasley.
Speaker A:Weasley back in the flourishing box after that, after that show he had with Lucius is out of this world.
Speaker A:He's not allowed back in that story.
Speaker D:What, what's the name of, of the bar?
Speaker D:What's the name of the bar?
Speaker C:Leaky Cauldron.
Speaker D:Yeah.
Speaker B:Yeah.
Speaker D:He could have went to the Leaky Cauldron and you know, bust some tables for Christmas break.
Speaker D:Like they're just options here.
Speaker B:Maybe they do because they're able, able to send some Christmas presents.
Speaker B:Obviously Molly knitted them but, you know, you have to pay for yarn, right?
Speaker B:So they send the sweaters and Harry gets his.
Speaker B:Of course, Harry gets a toothpick from the Dursleys and a letter asking whether he can stay.
Speaker B:Unfortunately, it would be a gift for both of them.
Speaker B:I know Harry's like, if I could have stayed, I would have last summer.
Speaker C:Which we know how the magic works.
Speaker C:How can the Dursley say, oh, you should stay at Hogwarts for the summer knowing full well he has to come home so that the magics, the magical protection stays on him.
Speaker D:I don't think Petunia told Vernon.
Speaker D:I, I don't think Petunia had told Vernon, like, hey, it sounds good to send this, but he's bringing his ass.
Speaker B:Back here for the summer.
Speaker B:He's coming back.
Speaker B:Calm, calm your asses down.
Speaker B:He'll be back.
Speaker B:Which I don't know why he doesn't just get the Weasleys to get custody of him so he can stay with them for the summer.
Speaker B:Like, like, do they not do that in the wizarding world?
Speaker A:Sh.
Speaker A:They already have enough children.
Speaker A:Don't add another child to this family.
Speaker B:It's one more.
Speaker D:And they can't feed the.
Speaker B:They got like, what, I mean, he should have.
Speaker B:And maybe the Dursley could pay so they don't have to have.
Speaker D:But to be fair, he didn't know until the very last bit when they went to the bank that, you know, they the, that the cupboard was actually there.
Speaker B:Everybody knows the Wheezies are poor.
Speaker B:He saw Ron's greasy sandwich the first, first train ride.
Speaker B:Like, come on.
Speaker B:Anyway, so they go to the, to Moaning Myrtle's bathroom.
Speaker B:After the feast?
Speaker B:Actually, no, no, before the feast they go to the bathroom and they.
Speaker B:And Hermione tells them they have to get hairs from Crab and Goyle and that she already has hers and she has already worked up the plan.
Speaker B:Hermione is like the evil mastermind of this whole thing.
Speaker B:She's already worked up the plan of how they're going to do, do it.
Speaker B:She has created these cakes that she has poisoned with sleeping draught.
Speaker B:And he's like.
Speaker B:She's like, make sure they find it we know they're dumb enough to eat whatever, so just make it happen.
Speaker B:So they go to the feast.
Speaker B:They're eating, they're having a great time.
Speaker B:Harry and Ron leave the cakes on the banister.
Speaker B:Like, they're not even on plates.
Speaker B:They're just left there.
Speaker B:Crab and Goyle come by and they eat them.
Speaker B:And then they immediately get knocked out.
Speaker B:So the boys still their hair.
Speaker B:They think enough to take their shoes because Crab and Goyle are huge and they are not.
Speaker B:And they shove them into a closet and lock them in.
Speaker B:They get back up to the bathroom, they throw in the hairs, the colors turn yellow like pus.
Speaker B:For Hermione, if.
Speaker B:What was it?
Speaker B:Harry's was green, like boogers.
Speaker B:And Ron's was brown, like.
Speaker B:And they.
Speaker B:And then they drink them anyway.
Speaker C:Hey, man, you got to do what you got to do when you're trying to prove that Malfoy was behind this.
Speaker B:Yeah, they got to get that confirmatory evidence.
Speaker B:So the boys turn.
Speaker B:They have to change their clothes.
Speaker B:They come out, they're like, okay, Hermione, let's go.
Speaker B:Hermione's like, no, I'm not going.
Speaker B:Go ahead and go without me.
Speaker B:And.
Speaker B:And they're like, what?
Speaker B:And what?
Speaker B:What's going on?
Speaker B:And she's like, don't waste time.
Speaker B:You only have an hour.
Speaker B:Go.
Speaker B:So they leave her and they go.
Speaker B:And this is where the plan starts to fall apart.
Speaker B:Because Hermione didn't plan this far.
Speaker B:Because no clue how to get into the Slytherin common rooms.
Speaker D:It's what happens when you're 12.
Speaker B:Yeah.
Speaker B:So they're wandering around, they're like, well, I guess they're in the dungeon.
Speaker B:So they head down there.
Speaker B:They see one girl, some cranky Ravenclaw.
Speaker B:And she's like, I'm not a Slytherin.
Speaker B:How dare you?
Speaker B:And then they run into Percy and they're like, oh, no.
Speaker B:What are you doing down here?
Speaker B:And Percy's like, I'm a prefect.
Speaker B:What the hell?
Speaker B:And then that's when Malfoy comes and rescues them, surprisingly.
Speaker B:And Malfoy is a jerk to Percy.
Speaker B:Percy leaves.
Speaker B:But also, what was Percy and that Ravenclaw girl doing in the dungeons?
Speaker A:They're doing adult.
Speaker B:They're doing adult Hogwarts After Dark.
Speaker C:I don't know what you guys are talking about.
Speaker C:Those are two prefects on patrol making sure that.
Speaker B:Yeah, there's hardly anybody in this school.
Speaker B:Hey, hey, hey, hey.
Speaker B:We can go find the Marauders map and see what they were doing.
Speaker B:Where they were anyways.
Speaker B:So they follow Draco into the Slytherin karma room and the code to get into the room is pure blood.
Speaker B:What?
Speaker B:Ridiculous, because not all Slytherins are pure bloods.
Speaker B:Like what the hell?
Speaker B:Anyways, so they get in there, they start talking to Malfoy.
Speaker B:We learned so much from our little Hitler youth.
Speaker B:And we learn a couple of things.
Speaker D:One, you call him a Hitler.
Speaker D:You.
Speaker B:Did you hear what he was saying and how he was saying it?
Speaker B:Oh yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker B:This is like proof positive that like you're taught to hate.
Speaker B:Like, what the hell?
Speaker C:Yes, 100%.
Speaker B:We learn Arthur Weasley has been fined 50 Galleons for the car.
Speaker B:And there was an article in the Daily Prophet.
Speaker B:We also learned that Malfoy's dad is quoted as wanting him fired.
Speaker B:So talk about needing an extra job, right, Natasha?
Speaker B:We learn that Maloy Manor was raided, but obviously Lucius was able to hide stuff in enough time.
Speaker B:But we also learned that there's a secret chamber underneath their drawing room floor.
Speaker B:And I believe this is where when they're captured later in the books, this is probably.
Speaker B:This is where they were keeping them.
Speaker B:So look at that all the way in book two.
Speaker B:And we come back to it in book seven.
Speaker B:So we also learn that the Daily Prophet is not reporting about the petrifications which means Dumbledore is keeping it hush, hush and dang, you gotta be powerful to keep something this juicy on the DL.
Speaker B:And we confirmed that the Malfoys know something about what's happening in the chamber.
Speaker B:And this is where I say this is the, this is where anybody else will say okay, Dobby is the Malfoy's house elf because Draco talks about like, yeah, my dad said so just let it happen and don't.
Speaker B:And don't interfere and just, and stay out of it.
Speaker B:But like if I knew who it was and I would help them.
Speaker B:But.
Speaker B:So that means Maloy's dad knew that all this stuff was going to go down and he told Draco to stay out of it.
Speaker B:This is confirmatory evidence that Dobby is their house elf.
Speaker B:Like, if you're thinking this through, this is what you should have been telling Dumbledore, but whatever.
Speaker C:Anyways, but Harry doesn't think that far ahead because Harry is 12.
Speaker B:Harry is 12.
Speaker B:But like, well fine, Harry's 12.
Speaker B:He's annoying.
Speaker C:Just caught astray for being 12.
Speaker B:We also learn that the, that Malfoy knew that the chamber had been opened before.
Speaker B:The last time the chamber was opened, a Muggle born was killed and that the person who did it was expelled and possibly sent to Azkaban.
Speaker B:Wink, wink, wink.
Speaker B:Who could have been that person?
Speaker B:We don't know.
Speaker B:So we get a lot of information.
Speaker B:None of it is the information they were actually looking for.
Speaker B:And then the Polyjuice Potion starts to wear off.
Speaker B:So they have to high tell it out of there.
Speaker B:They make some excuse about their stomach being too full from eating.
Speaker B:They get back to the bathroom.
Speaker B:Hermione still hasn't come out.
Speaker B:They try to like, oh, we got so much info, we got to tell you everything.
Speaker B:And then Moaning Myrtle comes out and basically blows up Hermione's spot and be like, oh, you should see how ugly she looks.
Speaker B:Oh no.
Speaker B:And we learned that Hermione had stolen hair off the robe of Millicent Bulstro when she was in that headline block.
Speaker B:It was her cat hair.
Speaker B:Polyjuice Potion is not made for animal transformation.
Speaker B:So Hermione is stuck in like a half cat, half person type mode.
Speaker B:And so they're like, oh, well, we're gonna have to take you to Madame Pomfrey to see if she can fix this.
Speaker B:And that's the end of chapter 12.
Speaker A:Man, oh man.
Speaker C:So if you're Madame Grumphrey, do you think it's more likely to run across a student that has no bones or a student that has been half transformed into an animal?
Speaker C:Like, like which one has she seen more of?
Speaker B:I think the.
Speaker B:I think there's a lot of kids who try to transform, transfigure themselves and get stuck.
Speaker A:Yeah.
Speaker D:When McGonagall comes out into the hallway, when Justin is in the hallway, somebody had turned a classmate into a badger.
Speaker B:Yeah, she probably like, okay, whatever.
Speaker B:And they said.
Speaker B:And they said.
Speaker B:And she won't ask any questions.
Speaker B:And I'm like.
Speaker B:Because she's just like, I've seen it.
Speaker B:I don't care.
Speaker B:Get in here.
Speaker B:We'll fix it.
Speaker C:Yep.
Speaker A:These chapters were pretty interesting in the fact that we do deal a lot with Polyjuice Potion.
Speaker A:We deal a lot with what's going on at this school.
Speaker A:It gets us into our.
Speaker A:Our favorite topic that I think we're probably covering in every book.
Speaker A:And there's no safer place than Hogwarts.
Speaker C:No safer place.
Speaker A:That's what we were told by Hagrid.
Speaker A:He said that in the first book.
Speaker A:And here we are once again talking about how saving Hogwarts is.
Speaker A:We got a snake running loose, just petrifying people.
Speaker A:We got a.
Speaker A:A Bludger that attacked a child.
Speaker A:We have a house up that could just pop in and pop out about right.
Speaker A:We have kids boiling transfiguration potion and knocking children out so that they can take the hair off of them.
Speaker A:There is no safer place than Hogwarts except for the people that are in it.
Speaker A:That seems to be the situation we got going on here.
Speaker B:I want to know what's happening everywhere else if this is a safe place.
Speaker B:Like what's going on in Diagon Alley while.
Speaker B:While we're not there because dang.
Speaker D:And you know what, the idea of a dueling club, the more you think about it, it's like it's like going to work or like sending your kids like Centennial High School here.
Speaker D:Like we're gonna have a fight club so you can learn how to fight.
Speaker B:I mean.
Speaker B:Yeah, because there's not like you can use like practice spells.
Speaker B:There's no practice spells, they're just spells.
Speaker C:Yeah, that's the thing.
Speaker C:The dueling club, they didn't have any instructions so it was just like, okay, you're gonna duel.
Speaker C:You didn't get told how to do a protego, you didn't get told how to do an Expelliarmis, you didn't get told anything and then you didn't give them spells to use against each other.
Speaker C:So they're just hitting each other with whatever they know.
Speaker A:C.J.
Speaker A:worse off.
Speaker A:Even worse than that when he's like, you're right, I didn't teach you guys how to defend yourself.
Speaker A:Do this thing.
Speaker A:And he does a hand motion and Harry's like, can you do it again?
Speaker A:He's like, I'll just copy what you saw.
Speaker A:That is not teaching.
Speaker B:And Harry goes, oh, you mean drop my wand.
Speaker A:That's not teaching yet.
Speaker A:We have Snape wanting to hurt the kid.
Speaker A:Listen, I cannot wait till Natasha one day tries to defend Snape.
Speaker A:This dude whispers.
Speaker A:He whispers to Draco to make this snake appear just so he can scare the not knowing that Harry can have a full ass communication with the snake.
Speaker A:But that was the plan saying because there's no safe for the place in this spot where the teachers are trying to hurt the kids.
Speaker D:I'd like to point out too that Harry does show himself to know more than one spell during the duel because he hits Malfoy with a couple of.
Speaker B:Zingers just so he had him with the Richter Sempra and then Malfoy got him with the Tarantella or whatever so he tickled him and Malfoy made him dance Uncle Trophy.
Speaker B:Like what the.
Speaker C:Well, because they're kids, they don't have the advanced magic yet because like, like lockhart says just copy me and do this.
Speaker C:And it's like that's non verbal magic we learned later.
Speaker C:That's super advanced magic that like sixth and seventh years are learning.
Speaker D:Which is why Hermione's in a headlock in the corner.
Speaker B:So like they didn't even have their wands.
Speaker B:They just dropped the wands and went at it.
Speaker B:Melee.
Speaker B:Like damn.
Speaker D:Yeah.
Speaker A:The fact that they look over and she's in a headlock whimpering because they're like.
Speaker A:Like we don't know no spells.
Speaker A:So we just gonna fight like that.
Speaker B:Is gonna beat your ass.
Speaker A:Yeah, we're just fight.
Speaker A:And like you said, it's like going to a high school and having a class on how to fight each other.
Speaker A:This is ridiculous that you're doing this here with no kind of teaching.
Speaker A:They mentioned how someone was a world class duelist on campus.
Speaker A:Yet we didn't tap them.
Speaker A:Them.
Speaker A:We didn't tap them to come run this class.
Speaker A:Come on.
Speaker B:And it was authorized by the headmaster.
Speaker A:Loose in the building.
Speaker A:We have a man that knows that the chamber has been open before.
Speaker A:Yet we're continuing on as business as usual.
Speaker B:Still don't know where the chamber is.
Speaker B:Even though we know was open 50 years before.
Speaker B:Like you have 50 years to find this thing.
Speaker B:Thing.
Speaker A:We know that it exists before it was folklore.
Speaker A:This man knows it does exist.
Speaker A:Yes, it is hidden.
Speaker A:But he.
Speaker A:Why for the last 50 years has he not been the only one looking, seeing how he does know it exists positively is no longer folklore for him.
Speaker D:I will say this as well.
Speaker D:Moaning Myrtle has always bothered me because obviously the entrance to the chamber is in her bathroom.
Speaker D:Right?
Speaker D:And not only have they not bothered to figure out how she was killed 50 years ago because it was her that was killed when the bass was loose before.
Speaker D:But they don't even go.
Speaker D:Just like you guys mentioned earlier.
Speaker D:They don't even go in her bathroom to clean it.
Speaker D:So it's like, like was she that annoying to both the adults and the children that they were just like we don't give a fuck.
Speaker D:We're not going in the bathroom, check on her.
Speaker C:Do you know how hard it is to talk to a hormonal teenager?
Speaker C:Girl?
Speaker C:You know how hard that is?
Speaker B:Yes.
Speaker B:Yeah.
Speaker B:Yeah.
Speaker C:Imagine her being that for 50 years.
Speaker C:I'm going nowhere near her.
Speaker D:I would just like to point out.
Speaker D:Totally.
Speaker D:You know what?
Speaker D:They give us girls a bad name.
Speaker D:Teenage boys are just as hormonal and may.
Speaker D:May not whine, but they get fucking violent.
Speaker D:And maybe if we gave them some more language.
Speaker A:Yeah.
Speaker C:Have you read Harry Potter?
Speaker C:Book 5?
Speaker C:They whine all the time.
Speaker D:Like, maybe if we gave them better access to their emotions or words, whatever.
Speaker D:Maybe just like cry and whine.
Speaker D:So I, like, try to fight every day at school because you look, look at their pumas.
Speaker A:Dumbledore, though, is a collector of knowledge.
Speaker A:Why has he not gone and talked to this ghost just to get her story?
Speaker A:So he's collected more knowledge.
Speaker A:This is wild.
Speaker A:Because he is not just the headmaster.
Speaker A:Things are supposed to be safe at this school.
Speaker A:So he should have some kind of a awareness of what's happening around here.
Speaker C:But he wasn't the headmaster at the time of the attacks, so he probably trusted that.
Speaker C:Oh, the investigation was completed.
Speaker C:This is the report that I got.
Speaker C:And then he didn't go and do any extra investigating.
Speaker A:Cj, I'mma stop you.
Speaker B:He becomes the leader.
Speaker A:I'm gonna stop all y'all right there.
Speaker A:He can turn to the portrait in the headmaster's office and say, hey, hey.
Speaker A:Did you investigate this shit?
Speaker A:Nah, dog.
Speaker A:Well, then, fuck, let me go look into it.
Speaker D:Wait, I got you one better.
Speaker D:We haven't got to this point yet, but since we're reaching forward.
Speaker D:He has a fucking Time Turner.
Speaker A:This is true.
Speaker A:He has a Time Turner.
Speaker C:You're not wrong.
Speaker B:He has a Time Turner.
Speaker A:A lot of things can be solved.
Speaker A:Okay, I'm gonna go ahead and throw out that evidence that you just presented.
Speaker A:Because a lot of things can be solved with the Slime Turner.
Speaker A:So we're not.
Speaker A:We're not gonna utilize it for this right now.
Speaker A:So we'll throw that out.
Speaker A:Out.
Speaker A:Because you're correct.
Speaker A:But using the things that are presented here.
Speaker B:Inadmissible.
Speaker A:Inadmissible evidence.
Speaker A:Because you're correct.
Speaker D:I would like justice for Myrtle.
Speaker D:Nobody gave a damn to even figure out what happened to her.
Speaker D:50 year.
Speaker D:And nobody checks on her now.
Speaker D:How was the bathroom?
Speaker D:Free to brew poly juice potion for a month.
Speaker B:They go in there all the time and just be chilling in there.
Speaker B:And no one.
Speaker B:And they're.
Speaker B:They're not worried about being caught.
Speaker B:No one goes in there.
Speaker A:Not anyone.
Speaker A:Not.
Speaker A:Not Filch, not Dumbledore.
Speaker A:Nobody goes in there for weeks on end.
Speaker A:It's crazy.
Speaker A:And yes, Myrtle's annoying.
Speaker A:Yes, she haunts the bathroom, but no one's gone to see what's up.
Speaker A:Someone in the last 50 years should have got this girl story and it has not happened.
Speaker A:And then Dumbledore said some to Minerva.
Speaker A:Well, lastly, it appears the chamber has been open once again.
Speaker A:So also, you knew this thing was here.
Speaker A:And you have just been tight lit.
Speaker B:We were telling people it didn't exist.
Speaker B:And you knew it did.
Speaker C:Yep.
Speaker D:And.
Speaker B:And he knows.
Speaker B:He knows that Voldemort is the one doing it.
Speaker B:He's trying to figure out how this is where, where he starts realizing, okay, there's some Horcruxes or something else is going on here.
Speaker B:And this is how he like, so by the end of this book he pretty much figures out that Voldemort made Horcruxes, but he don't be talking to Harry about it until like book five.
Speaker C:Well, no, this is when he had his first inkling of it.
Speaker C:This was the first inkling of it because he says later on that he's like the Horcrux in this book is the first time he has seen one one.
Speaker C:And that's when he starts suspecting how many.
Speaker C:And it's not until way later that he has a fully like fleshed out theory.
Speaker C:Because he knows, you know, the magical number seven, which is why he suspects that there's seven Horcruxes.
Speaker C:He knows how Voldemort operates.
Speaker C:So he thinks that they're going to be things that are of significant, you know, magical historical value or whatever.
Speaker C:Like he's trying to leave his imprint on the world.
Speaker C:But he's not thinking about that stuff right now.
Speaker C:What he's thinking about right now is what is potentially killing my students.
Speaker A:Right, True.
Speaker D:He also hasn't talked to, Was it Professor Slughorn?
Speaker D:Was that, Was that his name?
Speaker A:Yeah, yeah, yeah, Slughorn.
Speaker A:No, he don't go to the school right now.
Speaker D:Yeah, he hasn't talked to him yet and got that fake memory from him or whatever.
Speaker D:But I don't know, like Hogwarts in general.
Speaker D:Like you know, we got Hagrid walking around with like the dead chickens, we got the spiders fleeing and it's just like, you know.
Speaker D:So why is this castle not charged?
Speaker A:Better pop in and pop out.
Speaker D:Where are the protection spells?
Speaker B:Yeah, people aren't supposed to be able to apparate into Hogwarts, but Dobby does it like.
Speaker A:But why have we not had a charm against this?
Speaker A:This is the point.
Speaker B:So, so non people can do it, but people can't.
Speaker B:Like.
Speaker C:Well also you have two very skilled Legila mints in Snape and in Dumbledore.
Speaker C:How do you not have a pre crime unit, like minority or poor for it?
Speaker C:Like they could be your pre cogs.
Speaker C:You read something crazy from a student and then all of a sudden that student is like in there.
Speaker C:You're trying to get a confession out of them or you just lock them up put them in the room of Requirement nobody knows how to get in there like stop all of this foolishness that's happening way ahead of time you.
Speaker D:Want to have like like an an NSA like they're spying on their own.
Speaker A:Citizens that's sometimes this is there's no safer place in Hogwarts that's what I was told that's what we're sticking by yet we are finding many many it's not wasn't just hackers that believe this.
Speaker B:But that's true that's true so here's.
Speaker D:The real question Would you send your children to Hogwarts?
Speaker A:Hell yeah.
Speaker C:Yeah of course I'm still trying to.
Speaker D:Go to Hogwarts like what I just.
Speaker B:Know know I'm not gonna be wandering the halls like Harry Harry dumb well.
Speaker C:And also nine months without a child that sounds like a blessing for free.
Speaker D:Do you think that the black children do in fact fare better because they have a different level of self preservation.
Speaker A:But until in addition though they do have sense enough to not go again go find out some and they're not around and finding out they don't need to they said I'm gonna go ahead and sit my ass right here here and wait for everybody to come back because it don't make no sense for me to go look at yeah you say he's petrified he might be dead I don't really know he over there that's crazy you gonna do the little lean I'm gonna lean and see I can't help him damn and then leave it at about that I definitely think.
Speaker D:That'S a great way to put it we do not believing we don't believe in around and finding out especially as a kid you know they all got threatened at the you know, nine three quarters don't up don't be over there forbidden forest you know what I'm saying Like I'm not sending no howlers and embarrassing myself in front of company you know they all got that same dean.
Speaker A:Look at me do not have them calling me up here and coming down here to get your ass because if you had to come home it's gonna be even worse for you at the house that talk was had and he knows he knows to not go down there and be acting a fool because he do not want to be getting his mama caught up here and then.
Speaker D:Angelina's mom was like you know you got to work twice as hard to get half as far there's only five of us up there.
Speaker D:So if you up, it's going to show badly on all of us.
Speaker D:Like they had this whole speech every summer.
Speaker B:Yeah, he don't get no how he gonna get a whooping?
Speaker C:You know what, though?
Speaker C:Ron and Harry got a whooping and it was probably the first time the Whomping Willow had ever introduced them to a switch.
