Hogwarts: In Dumbledore's Name

At the end of August 1991, the great Dark Lord Voldemort returned to the British Ministry of Magic, the place he had long dreamed of.

But, well...

Fudge: "The British Ministry of Magic is underground in London. Where would all these factions come from? There aren't any in principle, and there aren't any in practice, either."

Arthur Weasley: "If Hall Dumbledore hadn't led the recruitment drive back then, I might still be an ordinary clerk in the Misuse of Muggle Artifacts Office."

Harry Potter: "Magic is the law, and marksmanship is the law, too."

Ron Weasley, dual-wielding: "What did you just say about my mum?"

Even more astonishing to the Dark Lord, Narcissa and Bella were trembling and helping each other stand.

Bellatrix gritted her teeth and fell to her knees. "You mean if I do this, you'll take me to see my... sob... sob... gulp!"

When Voldemort finally lifted the layers of fog and saw the boy who had walked out of the Hog's Head, Hall Dumbledore...

Hall: "Who do you think Hogwarts belongs to?"
