“He accused me of being ‘Dumbledore’s man through and through.'”

“How very rude of him.”
“I told him I was.”

Dumbledore opened his mouth to speak and then closed it again.  Behind Harry, Fawkes the phoenix let out a low, soft, musical cry.  To Harry’s intense embarassment, he suddenly realized that Dumbledore’s bright blue eyes looked rather watery, and stared hastily at his own knees.  When Dumbledore spoke, however, his voice was quite steady.

“I am very touched, Harry.”

“Well, it is clear to me that he has done a very good job on you,” said Scrimgeour, his eyes cold and hard behind his wire-rimmed glasses.  “Dumbledore’s man through and through, aren’t you, Potter?”
“Yeah, I am,” said Harry.  “Glad we straightened that out.”

And turning his back on the Minister of Magic, he strode back toward the house.

“But for heaven’s sake — you’re wizards!  You can do magic!  Surely you can sort out — well — anything!”

Scrimgeour turned slowly on the spot and exchanged an incredulous look with Fudge, who really did manage a smile this time as he said kindly, “The trouble is, the other side can do magic too, Prime Minister.”
