Madame Rosmerta : Tell me what this is all about?
Professor Minerva McGonagall : Years ago, when Potter's parent's were marked for death, do you remember? They went into hiding. Few knew where they were. One who did was Sirius Black. And he told You-Know-Who!
Cornelius Fudge : Not only did Black lead You-Know-Who to the Potters that night, he also killed one of their friends, Peter Pettigrew.
Madame Rosmerta : Peter Pettigrew?
Professor Minerva McGonagall : Little lump of a boy, always following after Sirius Black.
Madame Rosmerta : Oh, I remember him. Never let James and Sirius out of his sight. But what happened?
Professor Minerva McGonagall : Well Peter Pettigrew tried to warn the Potters, and might have managed to if he hadn't run into an old friend.
Madame Rosmerta : Mm, Sirius Black?
Cornelius Fudge : Black was vicious. He didn't kill Pettigrew, he destroyed him. A finger. That's all that was left, a finger, nothing else.
Professor Minerva McGonagall : Sirius Black may not have put his hands to the Potters, but he's the reason they're dead.
Cornelius Fudge : And now he wants to finish what he started.
Madame Rosmerta : I don't believe it.
Cornelius Fudge : That's not the worst of it.
Madame Rosmerta : What could be worse?
Professor Minerva McGonagall : Thus Sirius Black was and remains to this day Harry Potter's godfather.
[Harry who was eavesdropping while under the invisibility cloak runs out the room in despair after learning that Sirius betrayed the latter's parents]

Professor Minerva McGonagall : No permission form signed, no visiting the village. That's the rule, Potter.
Argus Filch : Those with permission, follow me. Those without, stay put.
Harry : Professor, I thought if you sign it, then I could...
Professor Minerva McGonagall : I can't. Only a parent or a guardian can sign. Since I'm neither, it would be inappropriate. I'm sorry, Potter. That's my final word.
