Scrimgeour and Harry Talk -HBP

"...You're making Stan a scapegoat, just like you want to make me a mascot."
They looked at each other, long and hard. Finally Scrimgeour said, with no pretense at warmth, "I see. You prefer -- like your hero Dumbledore -- To disassociate yourself with the Ministry?"
"I don't want to be used," said Harry.
"Some would say it's your duty to be used by the Ministry!"
"Yeah, and others might say it's your duty to check that people really are Death Eaters before you chuck them in prison," said Harry, his temper rising now. "You're doing what Barty Crouch did. You never get it right, you people, do you? Either we've got Fudge, pretending everything's lovely while people get murdered right under his nose, or we've got you, chucking the wrong people into jail and trying to pretend you've got 'the Chosen One' working for you!"
"So you're not 'the Chosen One'?" said Scrimgeour.
"I thought you said it didn't matter either way?" said Harry, with a bitter laugh. "Not to you anyway."
"I shouldn't have said that," said Scrimgeour quickly. "It was tactless--"
"No, it was honest," said Harry. "One of the only honest things you've said to me. You don't care whether I live or die, but you do care that I help convince everyone you're winning the war against Voldemort..."

I really like this scene! Harry sticking it to the man!

I might do another to get the next line in the book in there. It turned out alright, I think. The book didn't say the color of Harry's Weasly sweater, so I thought Mrs. Weasly might have chosen green to go with Harry's eyes.

The clean version is in my scraps.
