THE SCENE: The Shrieking Shack. With Snape out of the way, LUPIN has 
had enough of argumentative prose



LUPIN (spoken, with steel in his voice): Enough of this - there's one 
certain way to prove what really happened. Ron, give me that rat.

(Ron reluctantly hands a hysterical Scabbers over to LUPIN)

LUPIN (music, to Scabbers)
Let's get down to business – don't think you can run!
You betrayed the Potters, tried to kill their son
You're the biggest rat there ever was
But you can bet before we're through
Scabbers, we'll make a man out of you

BLACK (to LUPIN, with eyes blazing)
Friendship is restored us
We're a team again
Once we prove it's Peter
My amnesty begins
See this squeaky, weak Animagic pet
Just a slave of You-Know-Who
(to Scabbers) And now we'll make a man out of you

LUPIN & BLACK
Are we ready to use our wands?
On the count of three – One – Two – THREE!
That rat's redefined now in our blinding light
This shows how we all were conned
It looks just like Peter to me

PETTIGREW (cowering in fear) 
Hello, my old friends, this is such a delight



LUPIN & BLACK and (TRIO)
(Pettigrew)
We must have us a little chat now
(Pettigrew)
About that night that the Potters died
(Pettigrew)
He/I trusted him to be Secret Keeper 
More devious than the wicked Mr. Hyde

(LUPIN & BLACK raise their wands, preparing to kill PETTIGREW. HARRY 
throws himself in front of their intended target)

HARRY 
Though you want to slay him to avenge my folks
Do not commit murder, mercy I evoke
Sublime justice must go amiss
In courtrooms of kangeroo

LUPIN & BLACK	 (lowering their wands)
Harry, this makes a man out of you

(LUPIN & BLACK) and TRIO
(Pettigrew)
We must be stern with this former rodent
(Pettigrew)
Sold his soul to Voldy's syndrome
(Pettigrew)
Now he shall face the dementors' ire
And with Sirius, I/You will find a brand new home

 (Peter is securely bound, and the Chorus is repeated as all exit)
