Transcript: (hide)(show)

A shadowy metaphorical image of Voldemort looms behind Harry. Voldemort is grabbing Harry by the hair. Most of Harry's hair has fallen over zir face, so zir eyes are hidden. Voldemort and Harry speak in unison, in a mix of their graphical styles. (Physically, we're still in the interrogation cell, and Harry is speaking alone.)

HARRY AND VOLDEMORT: Hey, listen. If you want to know about me. I'll tell you. I'll tell you things nobody but me knows. Things nobody but me should ever know. Just three rules... One, I tell it how I want. Don't you try to twist my story with your questions. Two, if you use that truth potion to get more out of me, it's over. Three... Give me back my god damn glasses.

GRANGER: ...I accept your rules.

Granger transports Harry's glasses back onto Harry's face, using pure blue magic.

HARRY: Now... maybe it starts when Lily Evans and James Potter died... or maybe it starts long before I was born... but I'm going to start with when I went to Hogwarts.

Thus ends chapter 1. I suppose I could have come up with a nice way to indicate the end of the chapter, like Gunnerkrigg Court does, but I guess I didn't.

I wanted to give Granger a more nuanced line to accept Harry's rules with, but I couldn't make it fit with the flow of the piece. Sure, I could have made the upper text smaller, but I don't think the atmosphere of this page would benefit from the level of nuance that Granger would try to bring to the situation.
