LEE: Hello, listeners. Thank you for joining me, River, today for a very unexpected episode of Potterwatch. While this show typically aims to keep track of the so-called Undesirable No. 1 and all his whereabouts, today's episode is going to be a little bit different.
We all know that the Carrows of Hogwarts are heartless, soulless monsters, and while we have long suspected foul behaviour on their end, we have proof of their vileness. They are actively teaching Dark Arts to the students of Hogwarts, and are forcing them to practice said Dark Arts on other students.

AMYCUS:[muffled fumbling sounds] Now, since we had last week's rats for dinner last night, we're moving on to, well, you lot. Brown, you'll be our first test subject.
LAVENDER: What? Why me?
AMYCUS: I dunno. Because I said so?
LAVENDER: That's a terrible reason! I haven't —
AMYCUS: Detention. For disrespecting a professor. There. There's your reason.
LAVENDER: This is EXTREMELY unfair! I didn't disrespect you. YOU disrespected me!
AMYCUS: Brown. Up front. Now. Or I'll make you. Or better yet, I'll go with Patil instead.
LAVENDER:[sighs] Fine.
[loud stomping]
AMYCUS: Crabbe. You're up.
CRABBE: Glad to. [a beat] Crucio.
[screaming and then shouting, making it difficult to make out what is happening until there's a loud bang and labored breathing]
AMYCUS: Just for that, Longbottom, you'll go next. Give it a go on Brown here.
NEVILLE: I won't.
LAVENDER:[out of breath] It's all right, Neville. You can — [another bang and a shriek]
AMYCUS: Shut it, Brown. Longbottom. I said give it a go.
NEVILLE: And I said I won't!
[silence]
AMYCUS: Imperio. Imperio. Diffindo—Imperio! [a beat] There we go. Now, cast the Cruciatus on Brown.
[silence again and then the sound of someone falling into a desk]
NEVILLE: I WON'T!
AMYCUS: Damned Longbottoms!
[more shouting with the sound of spell fire this time that goes on for quite some times. The recording ends abruptly with someone close to the recorder yelling "Oh, Neville, be —"]
[silence extends for some time]
LEE: Death Eaters and Chief Death Eater are not your friends, and please remember that. Silence equals compliance and do you want to be compliant to Death Eaters torturing young children for refusing to partake in Dark Arts? Do you want to be compliant to Death Eaters killing people for speaking their truths?
