Panel 1: Mrs. Murray has stepped into the center of the room and is looking up at the ceiling, eyes closed and arms spread. Susan and Jeremy look up from the carpet in confusion at her actions, as does Peter from across the room. Mrs. Murray loudly says “Yon mischievous boggart, your mercy please make. Return unto me that which ye take.”
Panel 2: Mrs Murray who looks at the family fondly. She says “You’ll find this sort of thing happens a lot. Boggarts can be tricky creatures. They like to take what’s precious. But ask politely and they’ll bring it back in due course.”
Panel 3: Peter walks out of the room, smoking, glaring at Mrs. Murray cruelly. He says “Absolute horseshit! Don’t you go filling my boy’s head with your superstitious nonsense!”
Panel 4: Cut to: Peter walking to the basement with a contractor wearing a hardhat. They are descending a creaky wooden staircase into the cellar. A single lightbulb is lighting the staircase. The caption says “Days later.” Peter says “What’s the hold up?” The contractor says “Can’t reuse the old foundations. Not for what you’ve got planned. I’ll show you…”
Panel 5: The basement is old, with beams on the ceiling and rock with cement-like walls. There are cracks and old rocks all over them. A huge crack is running down the middle, with scratches around it. The contractor says “There. Never seen anything like it. That rock is part of the foundations, and that crack looks unstable. And those scratches? Reckon something is getting in that way too.”
Panel 6: A view from inside the crack, with Peter peering in, disgusted and annoyed. Peter says “Don’t waste time. Just fill it with concrete.”
Panel 7: The contractor protests. Peter shuts him down as he walks away. The contractor says “Building regulations say…” Peter says “For what I’m paying you, the regulations are whatever I want. Fill it.”
