FORBIDDEN FOREST
The forest seems to grow bigger, thicker — and amongst the trees, people searching, looking for themissing wizards. But slowly people melt away until HARRY is left alone.
He hears something. He turns to his right.
HARRY: Albus? Olivia? Albus?
And then he hears the sound of hooves. HARRY is startled. He looks around for where the noise iscoming from.
Suddenly BANE steps forward into the light. He is a magnificent centaur.
BANE: Harry Potter.
HARRY: Good. You still recognize me, Bane.
BANE: You've grown older.
HARRY: I have.
BANE: But not wiser. For you trespass on our land.
HARRY: I have always respected the centaurs. We are not enemies. You fought bravely at the Battle of Hogwarts. And I fought beside you.
BANE: I did my part. But for my herd, and our honor. Not for you. And after the battle, the forest was deemed centaur land. And if you're on our land — without permission — then you are our enemy.
HARRY: My son is missing, Bane. I need help finding him.
BANE: And he is here? In our forest?
HARRY: Yes.
BANE: Then he is as stupid as you are.
HARRY: Can you help me, Bane?
There's a pause. BANE looks down at HARRY imperiously.
BANE: I can only tell you what I know . . . But I tell you not for your benefit but for the benefit of my herd. The centaurs do not need another war.
HARRY: Neither do we! What do you know?
BANE: I've seen your son, Harry Potter. Seen him in the movements of the stars.
HARRY: You've seen him in the stars?
BANE: I can't tell you where he is. I can't tell you how you'll find him.
HARRY: But you've seen something? You've divined something?
BANE: There is a black cloud around your son, a dangerous black cloud.
HARRY: Around Albus?
BANE: A black cloud that may endanger us all. You'll find your son again, Harry Potter. But then you could lose him forever.
He makes a sound like a horse's cry — and then makes hard away — leaving a bewildered HARRY behind. He begins to search again — now with even more fervor.
HARRY: Albus! Albus!
