- Very best of evenings to you all.
- Thanks.
- First off, let me introduce the newest member of our staff Horace Slughorn. Professor Slughorn, I'm happy to say, has agreed to resume his old post as Potions Master. Meanwhile, the post of Defense Against the Dark Arts will be taken by Professor Snape.

- Now, as you know, each and every one of you was searched upon your arrival here tonight. And you have the right to know why. Once there was a young man, who, like you sat in this very hall, walked this castle's corridors, slept under its roof. He seemed to all the world a student like any other. His name? Tom Riddle. Today, of course, he's known all over the world by another name. Which is why, as I stand looking out upon you all tonight, I'm reminded of a sobering fact. Every day, every hour, this very minute, perhaps, dark forces attempt to penetrate this castle's walls. But in the end, their greatest weapon is you. Just something to think about. Now, off to bed. Pip-pip.
- That was cheerful.

- History of Magic is upstairs, ladies, not down. Mr. Davies! Mr. Davies! That is the girls' lavatory. Potter.
- Oh, this can't be good.
- Enjoying ourselves, are we?
- I had a free period this morning, Professor.
- So I noticed. I would think you would want to fill it with Potions. Or is it no longer your ambition to become an Auror?
- It was, but I was told I had to get an "Outstanding" in my O.W.L.
- So you did, when Professor Snape was teaching Potions. However, Professor Slughorn is perfectly happy to accept N.E.W.T.’s students with "Exceeds Expectations."
- Brilliant. Um... Well, I'll head there straightaway.
- Oh, good, good. Potter, take Weasley with you. He looks far too happy over there.
