Missing scenes

A couple of days ago, somebody (sorry, I can't remember who, and 
Yahoomort's search function is being singularly unhelpful) mentioned 
that they really wish they could've seen the scene in GoF where Fake!
Moody talks to Neville after the Unforgivables class and gives him 
the herbology book.  This got me thinking about a number of 
other "missing scenes" in the books that I would've loved to see.  I 
don't mean things that might theoretically have happened, but things 
that canon definitely tells us have happpened, but we never see them 
or even get a second-hand account of them  Here's the list I came up 
with:

Snape first finding out that Lupin has been hired as DADA teacher 
and that he (Snape) will be expected to make the Wolfsbane for him.

Sirius' confrontation with the Fat Lady.

Fake!Moody taking Draco to Snape for disciplining after the bouncing 
ferret incident -- this is by far my top choice.  Just *think* of 
all the ways Crouch Jr. could stick it to Snape in this particular 
confrontation.  "The Egg and the Eye" would be a friendly chat by 
comparison.

Krum asking Hermione to the Yule Ball.

Pettigrew meeting Bertha at that inn and fast-talking her into 
accepting his existeence and going off for a walk with him.

Hmm.  It seems all my choices are from the last two books, which I 
suppose is not too surprising.  So, anyone else have their own list?
