Inside the Apothecary at Diagon Alley, SEVERUS is searching for supplies to refill his Potions kit, while being closely followed by REGULUS.
REGULUS: So is it gonna happen?
SEVERUS: Is what going to happen?
REGULUS: Come on! Bella's lessons in the Room of Requirement!
SEVERUS: No.
REGULUS: But we didn't do anything last year! I'm bored, I need something to do in that infernal castle.
SEVERUS: How about focus on your schoolwork?
REGULUS: Please, like that's gonna help me in the future.
SEVERUS: Well, sorry to break it to you, but I happen to be a Prefect now and fifth year just happens to be the busiest year at Hogwarts so I'm gonna up to my neck in work.
REGULUS: (sighing) I miss the days when your were fun.
SEVERUS: Me too. Anyway, why don't you get something else to distract you this year? What about Quidditch?
REGULUS: I dunno. Maybe.
SEVERUS: I've seen you fly. You're not horrible. At least you're better than Potter and his cronies.
REGULUS: (laughing) Thanks, Sev. But seriously, though- (he glances around the store) I want to know what's going on, all right? I want to be a part of this.
SEVERUS: You will, Regulus. One day. Are you good with your Potions stuff?
REGULUS: Please. Potions'll be a breeze.
SEVERUS: (sarcastically) Yeah, okay.
SEVERUS pays for his supplies and the two boys exit the store together.
