The Scene: The office of REMUS LUPIN. HARRY discusses his Dementor 
problems as LUPIN provides a lesson in Dementor Natural History.

HARRY
I don't want to dread Dementors
I don't need a smelling-salt supply
I don't want to just surrender
Can I face them eyeball to eye?
But they really got my number 
How do they drive me awry?

HARRY & LUPIN
It's how they PTSD me/you
It's their feeding off fear
It's their glacial horror
It's their habit severe

It's a pillory for me /you 
It's insensible 
It's this, it's this! (Iniquitous!) 
It's this, it's this!

HARRY
So I ask you, Remus Lupin, 
Will these flashbacks ever cease?

LUPIN
Nothing's fouler than Dementors 
They can slay joy, crush hope, break peace
They rejoice in squalid places
Filthy, slimy, grimy grease

HARRY & LUPIN
It's the way they drown you 
It's your feeling of loss
It's their sentinel mission 
It's a hideous cost 

LUPIN
It's too vivid a moment 
It's undeterrable  
Its kiss, its kiss! (Unbearable!) 
Its kiss, its kiss!

If they kiss you then its goodnight
Toward the void your spirit's swayed
If they kiss you, it's endless dementia
Your body lives, your soul's mislaid
When on you its mouth is mounted
Everything you are must fade
Then see them floating, just hear them gloating!

HARRY & LUPIN
It's the way they consume souls
It's their odious hiss
It's their ultimate weapon
It's a hellish abyss

It's that pitiless monster
It's impervious
Its kiss, its kiss! (Incon-soul-able!)
Its kiss, its kiss! 
(fade-out)
