Fudge paled and nodded quickly.

"Fascinating mental image." said Snape with a sneer. "Quite the Norman Rockwell picture."

"What is..." asked Draco.

“How do you know about muggle pictures?” asked Draco.

“Something I’ll tell you when you’re older.” said Snape.

"Not unless them damned Dursley's hurt you again." said Hagrid cracking his knuckles, which sounded like gunshots sounding off.

"Our sentiments exactly." said Sirius rubbing and cracking his own knuckles.

"As I have said before, the truth can be a terrible thing." said Dumbledore looking sadly at Harry.

"Don't I know it. I was almost happier being in the dark." said Harry. "But nowadays, being kept in the loop can keep you alive." he sent a pointed look towards the old man.
