Harry's Final Torturous Detention with Umbridge and the Scar Pain

PAGES: 274-275

In Harry's final detention with Umbridge, he continues to carve "I must not tell lies" into his hand. As night falls, Harry glances out of Umbridge's window, watching Ron try out for the Gryffindor Quidditch team. When Umbridge checks Harry's hand, Harry experiences a sudden, intense pain in his scar. Umbridge dismisses him, and Harry leaves, deeply unsettled, unsure whether the pain was connected to her or something else.
