Dicentra snatches the script from Debbie's hands and swipes the red 
pencil.  She circles "for the third time in his life" about 30 times 
and begins jabbing at it with the pencil.

"What is the meaning of this?" she demands.  "When were the other two 
times?  When the dementors got him?  I don't think so: that's the 
sensation of horrible memories returning.  Has Harry been Imperio'ed 
before, without his knowing, or were those other two times something 
else?  Have these times even been mentioned?"

Dicentra draws a red flag on the script and tosses it back on 
Debbie's lap. "I'm too busy to go searching through a couple thousand 
pages for this.  Let some LOON get it."

Then remembering something, she snatches the script again, tears off 
the last page, scrawls something on it with the pencil, and stalks 
off, leaving Debbie a bit startled and perplexed.

Dicentra goes to the refreshment table and finds the bottled water. 
She opens one and dumps it out as she walks toward the beach, 
muttering something about selling water being a scam.  Then she rolls 
up the paper, stuffs it into the bottle, and after tightening the cap 
tosses it into the Bay.

Much later, Pippin sees the bottle drifting by and, curious, 
retrieves it.  The paper says "Dear Pippin.  Way good catch noticing 
Mrs. Figg's sudden change in demeanor.  Tell Pip that the cake was 
probably old because Madame Lestrange can't cook, so she had to 
retrieve something the real Mrs. Figg cooked before being cold-cocked 
and captured.  I'd come tell you this in person but I don't want to 
get in trouble for not combining posts."
