Act 1 Part 3ALBUS: Welcome to another magical year at Hogwarts, and a very special welcome to my favorite student, Harry Potter. (Ron cheers obnoxiously). He killed Voldemort when he was just a baby. And another very special welcome to our newest member to Gryffindor, Ms. GINNY Weasley! GINNY: Arent we supposed to be sorted by the sorting hat? ALBUS: Basically Ive been putting anyone who looks like a good guy in Gryffindor, and any who look like a bad guy in Slytherin, and the other two can go where ever the hell they want I don't really care. CEDRIC: Hufflepuffs are particularly good finders. ALBUS: What the hell is a Hufflepuff? ..... Anyway, its time now for me to introduce my very good friend, our own potions professor, Mr. Severus Snape. RON: Ah man, Prof. Snape I thought they fired that guy. Hes just EVIL! HARRY: Come on Ron he's really not that bad. (Snape enters upstage) SNAPE: Harry Potter, Detention! For talking out of turn. Now before we begin, I will give you all your very, very first pop quiz. Can anyone tell me what a port-key is? Yes Ms. Granger. HERMIONE: (fast) A port key is an enchanted object that when touched will transport the one or ones who touch it to anywhere in the globe decided by the one who created the enchantment. SNAPE: Very good! Now can anyone tell me what foreshadowing is? Yes Ms. Granger. HERMIONE: (fast) Foreshadowing is a dramatic device in which an important plot point is mentioned early in the story in order to return later in a more significant way. SNAPE: Perfect! RON: What is a port-key again I missed that one. HERMIONE: Oh! A port key is an enchanted object that when touched will transport the one anywhere in the globe SNAPE: Now remember a port-key can be something seemingly harmless likea football or, a dolphin. LAVENDER: Professor, Can like a person be a port-key? SNAPE: No! Thats absurd. A person can however be a horcrux.

6

7 HARRY: What's a horcrux? SNAPE: I'm not even going to tell you Harry, you'll find out soon enough. HERMIONE: So what is the point of this quiz? SNAPE: No point in particular, just important information that everyone should know. (to Audience) especially you. Now moving right along, there are four houses and they are Gryffindor! Ravenclaw! Hufflepuff! CEDRIC: Find! SNAPE: What? ... And Slytherin! Now traditionally, points are given for good behavior and deducted for rule breaking. Traditionally at the end of the year the house with the most points would win the house cup. However this year were doing things a bit differently. Here to introduce it is our new professor of the Dark Arts, Professor Quirrel. (Harrys scar starts to sting; Quarrel enters upstage left and shuffles center) QUIRREL: The house cup, a time honored tradition, for centuries the 4 houses of Hogwarts have competed for the honor and glory of having the title of house champion, but where does this competition come from, and what are the roots of the tradition? HERMIONE: (fast). The house cup competition began with the first generation of Hogwarts students. QUIRREL: It was a rhetorical question. ALBUS: Granger, quit interrupting, 20 points from Gryffindor! HARRY and RON: Thanks Hermione. QUIRREL: Anyway, one champion from each of the 4 houses would complete a series of dangerous tasks to win eternal glory. HERMIONE: Kind of like a tri-wizard tournament! QUIRREL: Yes, sort of like the tri-wizard tournament, except not. There are four houses, how can it be the tri-wizard tournament with four teams? HERMIONE: But professor if I remember correctly, the house cup tournament was disbanded after one semester when one of its students was killed. ALBUS: Hermione Granger shut your ungodly, lopsided mouth and quit interrupting, 20 more points. You know, for the cleverest witch of your age you really can be a dumbass sometimes! ... (pleased) 10 points to Dumbledore. QUIRREL: Yes well it will be very dangerous, (Voldemort sneezes) ALBUS: Did your turban just sneeze? 7

8 QUIRREL: What? No. ALBUS: I could have sworn I heard a sneeze coming from your direction but your mouth wasnt moving. QUIRREL: No that was simply a fart, excuse me. (V. keeps sneezing, H. scar stings) I must be going. (sneeze) I simply farted once more, excuse me. ALBUS: A champion from each house will be selected to compete. Now Snape will you do us the honors please? SNAPE: Yes, headmaster. First from the Ravenclaw house, Cho Chang! CHO: Oh my gosh I've won, I cant believe I won! SNAPE: Next from Hufflepuff: Cedric Digory. CEDRIC: Well I don't find this surprising at all. SNAPE: Next from the Slytherin house: Draco Malfoy. MALFOY: OH! Ive finally beaten you havent I Potter? What do you think of that huh? (Lays across Potter) I'm the champion this time! (Falls on floor). ALBUS: Draco would you sit down, you little twit, Champions just a title. SNAPE: And finally from the Gryffindor house: oh my, well isnt this curious. The only person in all of Hogwarts whom I have a well-known grudge against is now in a tournament where he may lose his life. NEVEL: If its me, Ill just let the Gryffindors know right now I SNAPE: Sit down, you inarticulate bubble! Its Harry Potter. (cheers) ALBUS: Well there they are folks, the four Hogwarts champions. And I want all of you to start preparing immediately because the first task is in 2 months and it could be anything. So lets get to it! (all exit except for Ron, Hermione, and Harry)

Act1 Part 4RON: Harry, youve got this thing in the bag. HARRY: I don't know man, that Cedric Digory is pretty awesome. NOT! He sucks were totally gonna win! HERMOINE: I don't know Harry

8

9 RON: OH MY GOSH Hermione, shut up! Why do you have to rain on everybodys parade? HERMIONIE: Because Ron, this is dangerous! HARRY: Dangerous? Oh come on Hermione how dangerous could it be, especially if its me? HERMIONE: Youre not invincible, Harry. Somebody died in the tournament. HARRY: Uh, I'm the boy that LIVED not died, come on. What's the worst that could happen? HERMIONE: And I don't know about that Quirrel character. He bumped into you and your scar started to hurt. And you have to admit there was something really funky about the back of his head. HARRY: Think about it. Professor Quirrel is a professor, and who hires professors? RON and HARRY: Dumbledore HARRY: Whos the smartest, most awesomest, practical wizard RON: Beautiful. HARRY: beautiful wizard in the whole world. Why would he possibly hire somebody whos trying to hurt me? Alright if it means that much to you, Ill just drop out. (Harry & Hermione hug) RON: Wait, WHAT?! The House cup? Come on think of all the eternal glory youd win! HARRY: Hey, eternal glory? I already got that. Besides Neville will be a great champion. (ALBUS enters) HERMIONE: Look there's Dumbledore, now just go talk to him and tell him that youre dropping out. HARRY: (to Hermione) Hey listen Dumbledore and I are really cool, were really tight and I don't want him to think that I'm being lazy so could you just tell him? Tell him I wanna focus on school or something? You got this oneokay? (Touches nose) HERMIONE: Okay (Cross to ALBUS) Dumbledore? ALBUS: Yes, Ms. Granger? HERMIONE: I need to talk to you about the House cup tournament. First of all I think its an awful idea, but second of all I don't think Harry Potter should compete.

9

10 ALBUS: Granger, why you always gotta be such a stick in the mud? Tell me, why should Harry Potter not compete? HERMIONE: Uh, because he wants to study. ALBUS: Granger, nobody studies at Hogwarts except for you. Why couldnt Harry have told me this himself, he thinks I'm cool, were tight. HERMIONE: Professor- I'm a really bad liar okay, I think its a setup and I even think that Snape might be trying to kill Harry Potter. ALBUS: Severus Snape is one of the kindest, bravest, gentlest, most beautiful men I have ever met! Severus Snape is trying to kill Harry Potter just as much as he is trying to kill me! (Snape enters) SNAPE: Oh why Prof. Dumbledore, I just happen to be in the kitchen and I decided to make you this delicious sandwich. (Snape reveals a cut out of sandwich with a pipe bomb shown in the middle) ALBUS: Why thank you Severus, see Granger, how thoughtful! SNAPE: Here you are Prof. bomb- ape I mean bone appetite. (SNAPE gives sandwich to ALBUS and sets bomb) HERMIONE: Um, is that sandwich ticking? ALBUS: It looks like its licking, finger- licking good. HERMIONE: Prof. I don't think you should eat that sandwich. ALBUS: Why Granger, you should listen to Snape more often you may even get a sandwich out of him. (HERMIONE takes sandwich and throws it off to the side out of sight, an Explosion effect goes off) You dog gone exploded my sandwich! HERMIONE: I'm sorry sir! ALBUS: Hey, even if I did believe that Harry Potter was in danger, he has to compete. You see that cup? Well its enchanted. Whoevers name comes out of the cup must compete or the results would be bad. HERMIONE: What do you mean bad? ALBUS: Try and imagine your entire life stopping instantaneously with every molecule in your body exploding at the speed of light. HERMIONE: Total protonic reversal 10

11 ALBUS: Yes, so you see he has to compete. And if it makes you feel any better the last guy that died in the tournament was a Hufflepuff so Ill keep my eyes open and nothing is gonna get past old Dumbledore. Now I've gotta go make a new sandwich, but I don't know how it will be as good as the last one, the last one ticked! HERMIONE: Because it was a bomb! (crosses) Harry I'm so sorry but I think youre going to have to compete in the house cup. But don't worry I wont rest until I found out what the first task is. RON: And Ill sabotage all the other champions so you win by default. (Draco, Crabbe, Goyle enter, Goyle is carrying Draco as Draco stares at Harry) MALFOY: Well isnt this touching? RON: Oh my gosh just butt out Malfoy. (Draco begins to roll on the floor) MALFOY: Goyle and I have a bet you know? He says you wont last 5 minutes in this tournament. I disagree; I say you wont last five minutes at Pigfarts. HARRY: Alright Malfoy what is Pigfarts? MALFOY: Oh! Never heard of it? Huh figures, the famous Potter doesnt even know about Pigfarts. HARRY: Malfoy, don't act like you don't want to talk about it, that's like the ninth time youve mentioned Pigfarts. What is Pigfarts? MALFOY: Pigfarts is only the greatest wizarding school in the galaxy, its where I'm being transferred next year. HERMIONE: Malfoy, I've never even heard of that. MALFOY: That's because Pigfarts is on Mars. HARRY: You know Malfoy, were trying to have a conversation here. So if you could just leave us alone. MALFOY: Oh! I'm not even here. (Harry, Ron and Hermione begin to murmur then mention Dumbledore) MALFOY: Dumbledore?! Hes nothing like Rumbleroar! GOYLE: RUMBLEROAR! MALFOY: Rumbleroars the headmaster at Pigfarts. HARRY: If you don't mind, were trying to have a conversation here, get outta here. 11

12 MALFOY: Well I cant help if I can hear everything you say were the only ones in here. HARRY: Please Malfoy please just get out of here please. MALFOY: Where are we supposed to go? HARRY: Uh I dont know Pigfarts! MALFOY: Ha-ha, now youre just being cute. I cant GO to Pigfarts; its on MARS. You need a rocket ship. Do you have a rocket ship, Potter? (Malfoy breaks between Ron and Harry and starts to (roll) on them.) You know not all of us inherited enough money to buy out NASA when our parents died. HARRY: Alright that's it this is the most misguided way to try and make me feel jealous. Sure you can make fun of me but when you bring my parents into this its a whole other story. MALFOY: Whoa! Not so fast Potter, Crabbe! Goyle! GOYLE: Back off nerd! HARRY: Whoa! Whoa! I'm scared! MALFOY: Not so tough now, are you Potter? Maybe you should hang out with someone better than that lolly-gagging ginger and his stupid mudblood girlfriend. HERMIONE: Oh that is IT Malfoy, Jelly legs jinx! GOYLE: Hey no fair my legs are jelly! (Crabbe and Goyle fall on backs with feet shaking in the air. Hermione grabs Malfoys tie and points wand at his nose) HERMIONE: Take it back Malfoy! MALFOY: Take what back? HERMIONE: Take back what you said about your stupid made up space school! RON: Yeah and all that stuff you said about Hermione being my girlfriend that's not even a little bit true. HERMIONE: And say youre sorry for calling me a you-know-what. MALFOY: I'm sorry! HERMIONE: And you promise youll never do it again?

12

13 MALFOY: I promise! HERMIONE: Alright! Now next time we tell you to leave us alone you better do it! Come on Harry, Ron lets get out of here. Un-jellify! RON: That was like the most BA thing Ive ever seen it, too bad no one was here to see it. It was like an outbreak of pent-up aggression like: Ahh, Hermione (Ron Harry and Hermione exit, Crabbe and Goyle get up) GOYLE: I cant believe I couldnt figure out the counter curse was just un-jellify! MALFOY: Am I bleeding? I thought maybemaybe it was a little wow; I've never been pushed down like that by a girl. Maybe I shouldnt call her a mudb- whatever. Come on lets go watch Wizards of Waverly Place! (They exit)

Act 1 Part 5(Quirrell enters) QUIRREL: Fools! Theyre all fools. They think theyre safe. They think theyre back to another year of learning shenanigans at Hogwarts, little do they know the danger that's lurking right under their noses. Or should I say on the back of their heads (Quirrell turns with his back to the audience so that Voldemort is facing the audience. Quirrell removes the turban to reveal Voldemort for the 1st time. V. screams then begins coughing.) VOLDEMORT: I cant breathe in that turban! QUIRREL: I'm sorry sir, but its a necessary precaution, for if they knew that you lived that when Harry Potter destroyed you, your soul lived on. VOLDEMORT: Yes, that when my body was destroyed I was forced to live in the forbidden forest, eating bugs, and mushrooms, and unicorn blood. QUIRREL: And that's when I found you and let you attach yourself to my soul. VOLDEMORT: Yes, nobody must know any of that. Now Quirrel, get me some water! (Quirrel grabs a nearby water bottle) Now Quirrel, pour it in my mouth. (Quirrel does so with difficulty) I'm done with the water! We must not have any more foul-ups like tonight in the Great Hall. 13

14 QUIRREL: I'm sorry my lord, you sneezed. VOLDEMORT: I know that! Get me some Nasonex you swine! (Quirrel gets Voldemort nasal spray then uses it himself) Wash that turban! It tickles my nose. QUIRREL: Yes, my dark king. VOLDEMORT: Okay just relax with the dark king okay? I watch you wipe your butt daily. You can call me Voldemort, were there. Weve reached that point. QUIRREL: Yes, mymy Voldemort VOLDEMORT: Now Quirrel, get us ready for bed. We must be well rested if we wish to kill Potter. Tonight, in the Great Hall, he was so close, I could have touched him. Revenge is at my fingertips Quirrel. (Quirrel rinses with mouthwash) I can taste it, it tastes likecool-mint. QUIRREL: That's our Listerine, Voldemort. VOLDEMORT: Yes, excellent. Well goodnight, Quirrel. ( Voldemort is facing bed, the 2 lean over onto the bed, Voldemort is laying with his head in the pillow, Quirrel is on top of him.) Okay! Okay! I cant do this! We gotta roll over; I cant sleep on my tummy. QUIRREL: But I always sleep on my back, I have back troubles. VOLDEMORT: You roll over Ill Ill eat your pillow! You will be having a dream you are eating a marshmallow but you will wake up and your favorite goose feather pillow will be missing. QUIRREL: Fine well compromise, well sleep on our side. VOLDEMORT: Okay I guess I can do this. QUIRREL: Now goodnight! VOLDEMORT: Goodnight Quirrel.

Act 1 Part 6(Scene opens with Harry playing guitar in a chair with a suitcase on the floor next to him, Hermione is reading on a bench. Neville is on the opposite side of the stage taking care of a plant also on a bench) HERMIONE: Harry, don't you think you should be trying to figure out what the first task is gonna be? You could actually die if you're not ready. 14

15 HARRY: Cant you just do it for me? Cant you just prepare all my stuff for me? I mean what are you doing right now? HERMIONE: I'm writing your potions essay HARRY: Oh well do that first cause that's due tomorrow. But after that can your prepare for the first task please?? Thank you! You are the best! (touches Hermiones nose) (Ginny enters right) Hey Ginny come here, I wanna show you something. GINNY: Hey, Harry Potter! HARRY: Listen I want to play you this song I've been working on. I want to play it for this girl I really like, so I just want to know what you think, so just for the purposes of now, cause I'm still working out the lyrics, I'm gonna put your name where hers should be but I don't think its gonna work out, but well try. HARRY: Youre tall and fun and pretty Youre really, really skinny Ginny Im the Mickey to your Minnie Youre the Tigger to my Winnie Ginny Wanna take you to the city Gonna take you out to diney Ginny Youre cuter than a guinnie pig Wanna take you up to Winnipeg Thats in Canada! Ginny Ginny Ginny Ginny--This doesnt work with your name at all. How does it make you feel, emotionally? Don't you think it could make a girl fall in love with me? GINNY: I think it already has. HARRY: Awesome! Cause its for Cho Chang! GINNY: Oh yeahshe is beautiful. HARRY: What are you nuts? Beautiful? More like super-mega-foxy-awesome-hot! Shes far more attractive, more appealing, and more interesting than any girl than I know, in my immediate group of friends. 15

16 (Ron enters) RON: Hey Neville (hits Neville in the back of the head as he jumps over bench.) (to Ginny) move, move, move, move (Ginny scoots over knocking Hermione on the floor, Ron sits next to Harry) Hey! Harry, what's up? So I was just offstage hanging out with Hagrid, and I saw these delivery wizards bringing giant cages into the dungeon. HERMIONE: Giant cages?! I bet whatever is in those cages has something to do with the first task! Harry, we have to find out what it is. RON: Well it doesnt matter because its after hours, we cant leave the Gryffindor house, and well probably get in trouble if we do, even if we do, shlongbottom over there will probably tell on us. HERMIONE: Oh Neville wont tell. NEVILLE: Oh yes I most certainly will! RON: So what are we gonna do? HERMIONE: Simple you guys, the cloak. RON: Of course (they stand up and face the audience) RON, HARRY, HERMIONE: The cloak. GINNY: Wait, what cloak? RON: Shhhhhhh! (Claps in ear) (Harry begins to open suitcase, Neville begins to exit) HARRY: I got a present last year --- oh bye Neville. I got a present last year, my first year at Hogwarts and it was left to me by my dad, my dad that's dead, (to audience) my fathers dead. (to Ginny) Its my invisibility cloak! GINNY: Oh wowee Harry Potter! Oh! Oh! Do you know what I would do if I had an invisibility cloak? HARRY: I would kick wiener dogs. RON: I would pretend to be a ghost and scare mean people. HERMIONE: I would use it to avoid ever facing my reflection in the mirror. GINNY: Well actually I was gonna say I would use it to fake my own death and watch people cry at the funeral! 16

17 HARRY: Ok, well, lets get outta her. (all begin to exit) RON: (stopping Ginny) Whoa, whoa, whoa, where do you think you're going? GINNY: With you guys? RON: No way! No kid sisters allowed (claps in ear) besides there's only enough room under this cloak for 2 people so uh, come on Hermione, come on! (Hermione hands guitar to Ginny and exits with Ron)

Act 1 Part 7(Quirrel enters) QUIRREL: (to Voldemort) Master, master the shipment for the first task of the tournament has just arrived! VOLDEMORT: Yes I know Quirrel; I hear everything that you hear! (Quirrel takes off turban) QUIRREL: Isnt this wonderful? We have made sure that Harrys name was drawn from the cup and soon he will be ours! VOLDEMORT: Yesits really happening isnt it Quirrell? ...You know, with the plan going so well, I think that maybe we should celebrate. What do you say Quirrel, hows about we go out? I hear its karaoke night down at the Hogs Head. QUIRREL: I don't know, I have all these papers to grade, and I've been giving so much attention to this revenge plan that I've gotten a little behind. VOLDEMORT: Ahh come on Quirrel, youve been working so hard all year, you deserve a night off! QUIRREL: But the papers VOLEMORT: Oh just give them all Bs and be done with it! QUIRREL: Now that's evil! (Grades papers) BBB-! You know, I havent had this much fun since Nearly Headless Nicks death day party of 91. VOLDEMORT: I havent had this much fun since.well, I cant remember ever having this much fun! QUIRREL: You never had fun ever? Doing anything? Maybe that's why you're so evil.

17

18 VOLDEMORT: Yeah, maybe. I definitely thought it was the fact that muggles and mud bloods make me feel sick to my stomach, but yeah I guess you could be right QUIRREL: What is it Voldemort? VOLDEMORT: Oh its just I never really ever considered there was another reason for me being so evil. Because normally I just I just kill people who try to get me to open up you know? Oops. Its just kinda nice to just talk. QUIRREL: Yeah, you know I have to admit I was kind of nervous when you first demanded that you attach yourself to my soul. VOLDEMORT: Yeah, I could sense that. QUIRREL: But like now I think its kind of cool, its like having a really close roommate or even VOLDEMORT: Yeah like a slave like a death eater. QUIRREL: No man, its like having a friend. VOLDEMORT: I've never had a friend before. QUIRREL: Well it looks like youve got one now. QUIRRELL: I guess its plain to see When you look at you and me were different different as can be VOLDEMORT and QUIRREL: Well lead em to the slaughter and well murder Harry Potter Were different Different Different, different As can be! (They exit. Ron, Harry, and Hermione enter with the cloak, Harry in front, Ron, Hermione) RON: This cloak isnt as big as it used to be. HERMIONE: Now where did you say you saw those crates being delivered? RON: I think they were being delivered to the auditorium so they should be at the end of this hallway and to the left.

18

19 (They walk in place while the pillars move upstage in order to give the idea of walking forwards. A sheep in a cage is set on the right side of the stage.) HARRY: Hey look! HERMIONE: A sheep?? HARRY: Oh my gosh, I have to fight a sheep? I don't know if I can do that morally. (Snape and Albus enter) SNAPE: And the sheep have all been sent for feeding time, headmaster. ALBUS: Feeding time? Dragons don't want to be fed they want to hunt! HARRY: (to group) Did he just say dragons? SNAPE: (to Albus) Did you just say Did he just say dragons? ALBUS: I must have, because anyone else hiding in this room would have know to shut up Potter! SNAPE: Headmaster, do you really think its wise to have children fight dragons? ALBUS: No Snape I don't think its wise to do anything anymore, here I am alive and well today, but I could very well be killed by you, tomorrow. SNAPE: Why that's absurd! ALBUS: Have you ever seen my room? I have some pretty kickin posters on my wall. (They exit; Harry takes off cloak and hands it to Ron) HARRY: Man I have to fight a dragon? This is bogus! How can I fight a dragon, I'm just a little kid? RON: Well maybe it wont be that bad Harry, maybe youll just have to fight like Mushu from Mulan or Puff the Magic Dragon. HERMIONE: Ron, this is serious! Harry could die. Alright there's still time, we just need to figure out a plan. (They exit)

Act 1 Part 9(Snape is center stage) SNAPE: The Hogwarts champions now must enter the champions tent in preparation of the first task. (exit) 19

20 HARRY: (enter with lunch sack) Man I cant believe I have to skip lunch period for this stupid task. (Hermione enters) HERMIONE: Okay Harry today is the day you fight the dragon, now did you read those notes I made for you on dragons? HARRY: No, but at least I have my wand (Searches for wand, Hermione pulls wand out of her cloak) HERMIONE: Here. HARRY: Hey, (taps her nose) youre the best. HERMIONE: Harry, please just don't die today. I don't want to see my best friend get eaten by a dragon. (They hug, Draco and Cedric enter) Cedric: So tell me more about this Pigfarts, I FIND it to be very interesting. DRACO: Well while youre there you have to wear your spacesuit at all times, because if you dont, youll probably die. But the good news is if you're a good enough student, Rumbleroar lets you ride around on his back. CEDRIC: And he's the headmaster lion? DRACO: Who can talk! CEDRIC: Well hello Harry, how are you feeling today? HARRY: Hey Cedric, trying to stay positive. CEDRIC: Well good! I'm happy to FIND you in good spirits. Ms. Granger. HERMIONE: Hello. (Cho is heard offstage then runs to Cedric) CHO: Sugar pie! CEDRIC: My darling! HARRY: I hate that guy. (Albus enters)

20

21 ALBUS: WOAH, God Granger, I thought you were a Bogart. And what the hell are you doing in the champions tent? Ten more points. HARRY: Thanks Hermione! (Hermione exits) ALBUS: Now are you kids ready to fight a dragon? Of course not you're just children what the hell am I thinking? Now outside this tent there are thousands upon thousands of screaming fans now theyre either gonna be cheering for you, or the dragon, but either way they are gonna be making some kinda noise. So in order for the selection process to be fair I am randomly going to select a cardboard cutout size version of the dragon you will be facing. Cedric for you, Puff, the magic dragon. Cho, Figment, the imaginary dragon. Draco, The reluctant dragon. And for you Potter, the Hungarian Horntail the most terrifying thing youve ever seen in your whole life! Anyway if there are no more complaints HARRY: Wait a second! This is terrifying, and those are the cutest things Ive ever seen. (Albus picks up Figment) ALBUS: This thing is horrifying! Just use your imagination. Disapparate. (Albus exits; Ron enters holding a box of Double stuffed Oreos) RON: Oh my god, this competitions gonna suck! All these dragons are wimpy, Accio double-stuff. (Takes a bite of Oreo then glances at Harrys dragon) OH MY GOD, MONSTER! Is that yours?! HARRY: Yeah. RON: Its awesome, I wanna hold it. Oh my god this thing is terrifying, I hope the real thing is smaller, rawr. Ferocious. What are you gonna do? HARRY: I don't know, I'm not cut out for this kind of stuff (Hermione enters, followed by Snape) HERMIONE: Ron, you cant be in here this is the Champions tent SNAPE: Ms. Granger, what the devil are you doing in the Champions tent? Ten points from Gryffindor. RON AND HARRY: Thanks Hermione! RON: Hey, good luck buddy. Bye Snape! SNAPE: Bye! (Ron and Hermione exit) SNAPE: Cedric Digory, now it is time to face your dragon. 21

22 CEDRIC: Alright fellas, wish me luck. CHO: I believe in you. CEDRIC: That's all I needed to hear. (Snape and Cedric exit) HARRY: Hey Malfoy, I tell you what, Ill let you switch dragons with me, Ill give you the chance to switch dragons with me, Ill give you that opportunity. DRACO: Um lemme think about it no. (Snape enters) SNAPE: Ms. Cho Chang, your dragon awaits. CHO: Well I cant IMAGINE that this will be very hard. SNAPE: Then I IMAGINE it wont be. (They exit) HARRY: Tell you what Ill throw in my Teddy Grahams with the Gushers and you can make little gusher teddy graham sandwiches. DRACO: Alright thrown in that pack of Doritos and youve got yourself a deal. HARRY: Absolutely not. (Snape enters) SNAPE: Draco Malfoy (Draco exits; long pause onstage) SNAPE: Out you go Potter. (Snape pushes Potter to center stage) ALBUS: And now Harry Potter will fight the Hungarian Horntail the most terrifying thing youve ever seen in your whole life. (Blackout)

23 SNAPE: Attention all Hogwarts students, tonight is our annual Yule ball, so please remember to pick up your Yule ball wreath and give it to someone special. (Ginny enters) SNAPE: AHH GINGER!

HARRY: I'm okay RON: Is that a Yule Ball wreath? HARRY: Yeah RON: Who ya gonna ask? HARRY: Well I asked Cho Chang but she turned me down for Cedric Stupory. RON: Oh my goodness theyre going together?

Ill probably just go alone. RON: Yeah Ill probably go alone too, I mean the only girls who don't have dates already are Ginny (both thumbs down) and Hermione(both thumbs down farther) and I'm not going with my stupid sister. HARRY: And I think of Hermione as my sister so that out. RON: We are in such a puzzle. (Neville enters) NEVILLE: My look at these strapping young men! RON AND HARRY: Hey Neville HARRY: Hey want this Yule Ball wreath. NEVILLE: Well I guess if you're willing to part with it I will take this wreath! 23

24 HARRY: Hey Ron lets go hang out with Hagrid, he can teach us how to dance and we can get in our dress robes! RON: That can only lead us to disaster and hilarity, lets go! I just don't know about Hermione because I don't think anyones asked her because shes just so butt ugly! (Ron, Harry exit, Goyle enters) GOYLE: (to Neville) give that plant, nerd! (Neville runs offstage) Oh Goyle rules! (Draco and Crabbe enter carrying a cape mount of the Slain Dragon) MALFOY: yes it was Reluctant enough at first, but I lured it out of its cage and Goyle, what are you doing with that wreath?! What are you going to ask someone to the Yule Ball? GOYLE: (drops wreath)No. Dancings for nerds! CRABBE: And pretty girls! MALFOY: Youre right; you know who the last girl Id ever ask to the Yule ball would be? That Hermione Granger. Not even if we were the last 2 people on earth and she looked absolutely stunning in her ball gown so that every time I looked at her I would get butterflies in my tummy. (Pansi enters) CRABBE: Dancing is for Pansies. MALFOY: Hey you there what's your name? PANSI: Pansi. MALFOY: Perfect! You're going to the Yule Ball with me. You see that dragon? Well it was reluctant enough at first but I lured (All Exit, Quirrel enters carrying a bowl with a ladle wrapped in a cloth napkin) (Quirrel sets down bowl, still holding ladle, takes off turban) QUIRREL: My lord the Yule ball has finally arrived, and I've brought the key! VOLEDMORT: (frustrated) Yes I know Quirrel I hear everything you hear! QUIRREL: I'm sorry.

24

25 VOLDEMORT: No I'm sorry, I shouldnt have snapped, I'm just nervous that's all. I don't wanna talk about it. Hey Quirrel, we should make plans. QUIRREL: Evil plans?! VOLDEMORT: Uh, no casual plans like, we could go rollerblading on a Saturday and see a movie that night. QUIRREL: Yeah it will be great because well both be able to watch it for a change. VOLDEMORT: Whatever happens tonight man, its been a blast. QUIRREL: Yeah, one crazy year. (V. cheers), hey- promise well go rollerblading and see that movie. VOLDEMORT: Oh, man, I promise. (Quirrel wraps his arms around himself as if to hug V., V. sighs in satisfaction.) Okay, Quirrel lets go plant that key and split, pun intended! (Quirrel puts turban back on Snape enters.) SNAPE: Why, professor Quirrel, what are you doing in the great dance hall just moments before the dance? QUIRREL: Just decorating or the Yule Ball just some last minute decorations. Just one final touch. (drops ladle key into the punch bowl) SNAPE: A ladle? QUIRREL: A very special ladle, for a very special night, for a very special punch. SNAPE: And what's so special about this punch? QUIRREL: Lets just say theres Sierra Mist in it. SNAPE: Sierra Mist?! Is that not the favorite drink of one Harry Potter? QUIRREL: Is it? I had no idea. Well we better be goingSNAPE: We?! QUIRREL: I better be going, loud music hurts my ears! SNAPE: Okay well Ill see you later then. QUIRREL: Or maybe you wont!

Have you seen Hermione anywhere? HARRY: No I havent, why? RON: Oh nothing, its just you know, I heard that Hermione is in the girls room just crying her eyes out, in a bathroom stall. Isnt that like the saddest thing youve ever heard? I mean I don't know it was inevitable that one day Hermione would realize that no guy would ever like her, because of her obnoxious personality and her ugly face. MALFOY: Hey you two over here talking about Granger? HARRY: Malfoy why don't you just get out of here its none of your business, why don't you just go dance with Pansi over there? MALFOY: (to Pansi) Hey go get me some punch. PANSI: Okay, um I should tell you theres Sierra Mist in it. MALFOY: Sierra Mist?! Never mind Ill stay dehydrated! Go powder your nose of something.

(Pansi exits) So anyway, noticed Grangers not around here, probably better that way too. RON: Man, why don't you just give her a break for once okay, Malfoy? MALFOY: Why defending her Weasley?

Act 1 Part 12RON: Ah I cant believe it. HARRY: What? RAN: I cant believe that she is dancing with every other guy here but me. That is so stupid. HARRY: Why do you care man? RON: I don't care man and thats what I'm going to go up and tell her. I'm going to go up to her and say, I don't care what you do, and shes going to feel so stupid, shes going to feel like such an idiot. HARRY: Hey, listen Ron, you're acting like a real jerk, and maybe you should take it easy on the butter beer. RON: No! HERMIONE: Hey, guys. HARRY: Hey, Hermione, hey you look great. HERMIONE: Oh thanks! You know I used to think looks werent important but now I think they are more important than anything. I mean I'm just having so much fun dancing with everyone! RON: Wow, Hermione, when did you become so shallow? HERMIONE: What is wrong with you Ron! RON: Nothing! Nothings wrong with me, why don't you just go ask shlongbottom to dance huh? HERMIONE: You know what maybe I will! (Storms off) RON: I showed her. HARRY: Wait a hot second; I know what's going on here! Youve got a crush! Alright Ron, maybe what you should do is you should go over there and tell her how you feel. RON: What no! Because then shed know that I liked her and you always know that you never tell a girl you like them because it makes you look like an idiot! HARRY: I know youll look like an idiot, anytime you tell a girl you like her it makes you look dumb, that is inevitable, but listen, its something you have to do. We look like idiots anyway. You just gottagive it a chance. (ease way over to Ginny seen sitting on a bench) Maybe theres something there you didnt see before. I mean you just gotta go and find something special that was there the whole time you just didnt have the guts tosay anything. RON: Wait where are you going? I'm still mad and sad. 29

30 HARRY: Hold on, Harrys going to take his own advice, pal. (Cross to Ginny) Hey, Ginny! GINNY: Hey, Harry. HARRY: Can I sit down? GINNY: Um, yeah, sure. HARRY: So, hows Hogwarts? GINNY: Wellits okay, well actually I was really excited to come here, but now that I'm here I just don't think I belong. HARRY: Oh yeah, I totally know what you mean. GINNY: Uh, no you don't. Youre Harry Potter HARRY: Yeah I know, but for 11 years I was just this dumb kid who got the crap kicked out of him and lived under these stairs. All of a sudden it was like, YOU'RE A WIZARD, YOU HAVE ALL THESE POWERS! And now everybody thinks I'm cool all of a sudden, its weird, its kind of isolating. GINNY: I understand, its like when you first got here nobody wanted to get to know you because they thought they already knew you, but eventually youll find some people who want to get to know you for the real you. HARRY: You know Ginny, I have found someone and I've taken them for granted so you know what? Come on. You want to dance? That's the whole point of the evening. (Harry takes Ginny to center stage, they dance) Now I've got to warn you, I learned all my best dance moves from Hagrid, so I'm not that great. GINNY: I'm sure youll be fine wow Harry Potter; I don't care what anybody says you're the best dancer that ever was. HARRY: Well you see Ginny I have a confession to make. You see these shoes; theyre actually magical enchanted dancing shoes. I'm just messing with you; I'm just awesome at dancing. (Ron karate chops between Hermione and Neville as if to cut in) RON: YAH! When you dance with Neville is when you cross the line. (Shoves butter beer at Neville) Here take this beat it, get outta here. (Neville exits with butter beer) HERMIONE: Why are you being so mean to me? RON: I'm not being mean! 30

31 HERMIONE: Yes you ARE! You know everyday everyone is trying to put me down, and the one day I actually feel like a person youre trying to RUIN IT!! RON: (backing off) Holy crap. HERMIONE: What is wrong with you Ron? MALFOY: Weasley! (Rolls to Ron) the lady said no. HERMIONE: Not you too! You know what, I am so sick of both of you! I hate you both! (slaps Draco and Ron and exits) MALFOY: What did you say to her?? RON: Nothing! MALFOY and RON (ad lib overlapping): I'm bleeding! Oh, look at this! look what she did to me! HARRY: Ginny, I feel kind of dizzy. GINNY: Well then maybe we should stop spinning. HARRY: We have stopped spinning. Wait no, no no no no! I cant do this, you're Ginny Weasley, you're my best friends little sister, you're Ron Weasleys sister, I cant I'm sorry Ginny I cant do this. (Ginny exits crying) Hey, Cho, dance with me, I'm Harry Potter, let's go. (takes Cho) CEDRIC: Uh, excuse me; I believe I was dancing with the lady. HARRY: Yeah, I know, and I'm cutting in, so CEDRIC: Well I FIND that to be very rude. HARRY: Alright Cedric why don't we FIND out what the lady has to say about it CHO: Boys, theres no need to fight over little old me! But by the way Cedric said that you cheated on the Dragons test. HARRY: Cheated?! Are you kidding me that thing was trying to eat me! I was in its mouth! CEDRIC: Exactly, what went on in there, Id like to FIND out. HARRY: Alright, that is it Digory we are dueling! Lets go! CHO: Oh gosh, all this excitement is making me thirsty.

31

32 HARRY: Oh Cho Ill get you something to drink Ill get you some punch! CEDRIC: No Ill get the punch. HARRY: No I will get the punch! CEDRIC: Fine, have the punch! (punches Harry, harry falls on floor) HARRY: Cedric Digory, Im gonna kill you! (Harry grabs ladle and tries to hit Cedric, scene change)

Act 1 Part 13(Cedric and Harry fall on floor) CEDRIC: Where are we? HARRY: I don't know Cedric someone punched me in the face and my sense of direction got a little goofed up. CEDRIC: Well it seems clear to me now that that punch ladle was a port key, and now thanks to you, weve both been transported to some mystery location. HARRY: Brilliant Cedric, well you're a Hufflepuff why don't you FIND a way out of this place. CEDRIC: Harry, I think I FOUND something; it appears to be a headstone. We must be in some sort of graveyard. Tom Riddle, Mary Riddle, Thoms Riddle. Riddle me this, eh Potter? HARRY: Cedric, you are so annoying, okay. You're just like this guy that's around all the time, when I don't need a guy around. You're this spare guy all the time, this spare dude, you're such a spare!! VOLDEMORT: Kill the spare! QUIRREL: Avada Cadavra!! CEDRIC: So many regrets, I'm dead. HARRY: oh my wizard god! QUIRREL: Not so fast! Petrificus Totalus! HARRY: Professor Quirrel you just killed Cedric! QUIRRELL: Not I Potter, but perhaps you would like to see who did; hes dying to see you. (Removes turban) VOLDEMORT: Harry Potter, The Boy Who Lived, its good to see you again! 32

33 SNAPE: The Cauldron is ready my Lord! (Quirrell goes behind cauldron as if to go into it, Snape drops in a cut out bone, then he takes a dagger and cuts off his hand into the cauldron. Snape groans in agony, as another death eater takes the dagger from Snape and uses it to cut Harrys hand) SNAPE: Detention Potter! ( Quirrel jumps out of the cauldron only wear a white business shirt, black tie and slacks, Voldemort is no longer attached to him.) QUIRREL: (grabbing back of head) It worked! (Voldemort stands on a stool set behind the cauldron, the tunic once holding Quirrell and V. together is now a cape. Voldemort is wearing no shirt, the cape, pants and tap shoes. He takes a step forward with great anticipation)

Act 1 Part 14BELLATRIX: My Dark Lord (bows to Voldemort) VOLDEMORT: Bellatrix Lestrange! BELLATRIX: Oh my liege, tell me its going to be like the old days, where we did nothing but torture and murder! VOLDEMORT: Ah the old days are back, baby! BELLATRIX: I cant tell you what it was like without you. VOLDEMORT: Well I'm never going again, because Ive conquered death, and my first pleasure will be to kill Harry Potter! The next, to take over the Ministry of Magic, and rule the world for all time!! BELLATRIX: And you will my Lord, but not yet, for now we must stick to the plan, we blame Potters murder on Quirrel, so that your return may remain a secret. QUIRREL: I'm sorry, what was that? BELLATRIX: You shall refer to him as my Lord, my Liege or my Dark Lord only!... VOLDEMORT: Oh no, Bellatrix, its cool. Quirrels cool. Over the last year hes proven himself to be a very good fr(pause) a very good servant to the will of the Dark Lord. QUIRREL: Oh I see so! BELLATRIX: Silence slave! Crucio! (Quirrel falls to floor screaming Voldemort grabs Bellatrix arm down, Bellatrix laughs) 33

34 BELLATRIX: Whats the matter, he is your pawn, and you are his queen. It is an honor to serve the Dark Lord!! VOLDEMORT: (cross to Quirrel who is still on the floor) Are you alright? QUIRREL: Did you really know that the whole time youd blame Potters murder on me? VOLDEMORT: Yesyes, I knew, but things have changed over the last year, I feel... How do I explain this? Its like that movie Shes All That! Remember we watched it together. Remember how at the end, Freddy Prince Jr. turns out to be good. QUIRREL: No, I didnt see the end because you were watching it, on the back of my head, sucking my soul! VOLDEMORT: Well I wish there was another way, but Ive got to take over the world! QUIRREL: Well there it is. Let me tell you now its going to be pretty hard to make that rollerblading date from Azkaban. BELLATRIX: Death eaters, take him away. (To Voldemort) And now you have what youve waited for, for so long. VOLDEMORT: What? BELLATRIX: Your chance to kill Harry Potter! VOLDEMORT: Yes Kill Potter!!! Ha- whoa whered he go? HARRY: Youre not killing me today, Voldemort! (Harry grabs ladle Voldemort and Bellatrix exit while spinning, and the cast from the dance comes back on stage as harry rolls Cedric to the center, Dumbledore is now standing over the two) GINNY: Oh my Rowling, what happened, Harry Potter? ALBUS: Harry, what the hell are you doing over here, you're missing the raffle! (Snape enters) SNAPE: What happened in the graveyard? HARRY: Its Voldemort! HES BACK! (Blackout)

Act2 part 1(Everyone goes over to bench and sits Harry and Ron enter) 34

35 HARRY: This totally sucks man. RON: (Giant Herseys bar) This is horrible! HARRY: This is horrible Harry Potter vs Voldemort the fight of the century. RON: Its not that its Hermione I cant get her out of my head Every time I look at her I get these pains in my chest and I just know its her fault! HARRY: (looking at newspaper) Hey man,I know what you mean - Its like when youre trying to save the world and the whole world is against you RON: NO NO NO NO NO! This isnt about you. Why does every conversation we have always turn into Potter talk HARRY: Its not Potter talk. RON: No. Im miserable (points to Hersheys bar) and all you can do is talk about your self Youre like the most self absorbed guy I know If you were miserable, Id be there for you but NO you wont even listen to me. I hope you and Voldemort live happily ever after because Im never going to be happy again. (As Ron leaves Hermione enters) HERMIONE: Were you just talking to Ron? HARRY: Yeah, I was trying to tell him about Voldemort. HERMIONE: Well, did he say anything about me? HARRY: Uh, well, yeah HERMIONE: Was it an apology for how he treated me at the ball? HARRY: Yeah, I heard about that listen (looking at paper) I was wondering if you heard a little something about Voldemort is back, Cedric Digory is dead, Professor Quirrell is crazy, and now I have to save the world. Did you hear that? HERMIONE: Actually, I did hear that. Ive heard that about a thousand times but never has it been told to me with so much SAS! Drop the attitude Harry. Youre acting like Garfield on a Monday. (crosses her arms) This is just like the dragon. I stressed out. I told you what to do and you didnt do it and you were fine. HARRY: Hermione, come on Youre the friend thats supposed to tell me to go to the library and try and figure this stuff out. HERMIONE: Well you know what Harry, I dont do that anymore. (Hermione storms off and joins others. Draco enters stage left and leans on desk)

35

36 DRACO: Read it and weep Potter I heard Voldemort is back. (lays on desk) And hes trying to kill you. HARRY: Malfoy I dont see why youre so happy about this If Voldemort is back, which he is, then we may as well kiss Hogwarts goodbye you may as well kiss the planet goodbye! DRACO: Kiss the planet goodbye? Having second thoughts about Pigfarts, are you? HARRY: Malfoy, youre the last person I want to talk to right now OK? DRACO: You know what? As soon as youre out of the way Ill be the coolest kid in school. HERMIONE: Malfoy, that will never happen, everyone hates you! DRACO: Ok, right, this coming from Hermione Stranger! PANSI: Shes cooler than you. LAVENDER: Yeah, even Moaning Myrtle is cooler than you. SNAPE: Draco, I need to see you in my office (Snape raises his hook) NOW! (Everyone except Harry: leaves. Harry sits down and looks at the paper again. Ginny stage left eating Doritos) HARRY: Hey Ginny whats up? GINNY: (chewing) Um Harry we danced at the Yule ball. And I thought we were going to be together forever, but were not. HARRY: (still reading paper) Yeah that pretty much sums it up. GINNY: Whats going on? HARRY: Ginny, dont you get it? Everyone whos near to me is in danger if Voldemort is back, and he is. So we cant be together or youd be in mortal peril just like the Spiderman movie, havent you seen it? MJ and Peter Parker cant be together. GINNY: But the whole point of Spiderman 2 is so that MJ and Peter are together. HARRY: Yeah, but the point of Spiderman 3 is that life sucks and everything falls apart. Ginny what Im trying to say is that I dont want my life to be like Spiderman 3 I hated that movie! Im sorry thats just my way of saying we cant be together. Im sorry Ginny GINNY: (crying) Im such an idiot. (Ginny leaves) DUMBLEDORE: Hey Potter HARRY: Who are you? 36

37 DUMBLEDORE: (pulls off beard) Its me Dumbledore --- Hey listen, Harry Ive got some very important things Ive got to tell you. HARRY: About Voldemort? DUMBLEDORE: Yes, its absolutely crucial for you to know. But I cant get into it right now. I need you to meet me in my inner office at 10:00 and I need you to come by yourself. Bring your invisibility cloak and dont go blabbing about this to anyone. From now on, the only people you can trust are me and Severus Snape HARRY: Listen Dumbledore, I know you dont want to hear this, but Im not so sure about Snape Im pretty sure hes working for Voldemort. DUMBLEDORE: WHAT? Thats stupid Youre stupid! HARRY: No, no Im positive that night at the graveyard, some death eater cuts off his hand and Snape shows up without a hand! DUMBLEDORE: Whatever Potter, Snape told me he lost his hand in a totally unrelated incident. HARRY: Dumbledore why do you trust Snape so much? DUMBLEDORE: Because I love him. HARRY: Professor I DUMBLEDORE: Enough. I dont want to hear anymore about it Theres no way Severus Snape is, was, or ever will be a servant of Voldemort.

Act 2 Scene 2SNAPE: All hail Voldemort! DEATH EATER 1: Severus Snape? What are you doing here? DEATH EATER 2: Got tired of being on Dumbledores lap? SNAPE: HMMMM? DEATH EATER 1: I ought to jelly leg jinx you right now traitor. SNAPE: Dont be goofy with me Im here to see Voldemort. DEATH EATER 2: How do we know this isnt some practical joke by the Order of the Phoenix? DEATH EATER 1: I heard you had your Dark mark surgically removed.

37

38 SNAPE: Well if you two know so much about me you should write a book Snape, the Double Agent thats right, Ive always been a servant of Voldemort. Ive simply been working undercover, finding out valuable information like the roster of the Order of the Phoenix, and finding out exactly what a true Hufflepuff is anyway, I would like to see my Master. DEATH EATER 1: Of course, Right away Severus SNAPE: Good Ill be in the drawing room, painting a picture of the stupid looks on your faces. (Voldemort leaning on chair appears asleep and Bellatrix talking as Death eaters enter) BELLATRIX: Then after sneaking into the Dept of Mysteries, well enchant the DEATH EATER 1: Excuse me BELLATRIX: WHOA, WHOA (pointing wand) Whoa. Excuse me I was in the middle of plotting. Where was I? The statues will occupy the guards while you and I sneak into the Ministers office, where you will be one curse away from complete control of the entire Wizarding world! How does that sound My Lord? VOLDEMORT: Oh, YEAH! Gringotts thats great.. polyjuice potionalways works! Very classy (Bellatrix looks dejected) VOLDEMORT: Im sorry what are we talking about? BELLATRIX: Did you hear anything of my evil plan VOLDEMORT: well, the details are a little fuzzy but you did have a very evil tone BELLATRIX: Hes all yours! (exits) VOLDEMORT: Bellatrix come back, dont be like that Now 2 people are mad at me! What? DEATH EATER 2: Sir, Severus Snape is at the door and wants to see you VOLDEMORT: See him in. (Snape makes a grand entrance) SNAPE: Is that a new body My Lord? You look absolutely ravishing! VOLDEMORT: Severus, for such a super secret spy youre a terrible liar! Im a wreck You better have some good news. SNAPE: My Lord, you know how for years weve been trying to get the death eaters into Hogwarts (Snape hooks Voldemort with hand) Weve been trying to get Death Eaters into Hogwarts and I think Ive finally discovered a way to do it! 38

39 VOLDEMORT: Well by all means Snape, tell me! SNAPE: I cant. VOLDEMORT: Cant TEASE! Why not? SNAPE: I made an unbreakable vow not to let any death eaters in. VOLDEMORT: Unbreakable vows I HATE those SNAPE: I know but I had to do it to convince Dumbledore I was reliable. VOLDEMORT: Yes Snape I understand well what do you propose we do now? SNAPE: Well, I cant tell you but I brought along someone who can. (Draco enters room) DRACO: All hail Lord Voldemort (Voldemort laughs) VOLDEMORT: Lucius Malloys boy. Are you serious?! DRACO: Malfoy, MALFOY VOLDEMORT: (Laughing) Help from a child, youve got to be kidding me Dont make me laugh Im pissing! DRACO: If this homemade dark mark wont convince you then PLEASE hear me out VOLDEMORT: (continuing to laugh) Ok -_ OK OK How do you propose you get my Death Eaters into your little school? And dont suggest a giant slide or a trampoline, because weve already tried those. DRACO: The vents Your death eaters shall enter through the ventilation system of Hogwarts VOLDEMORT: DUH! The vents. How do we find these vents? DRACO: Ill tell you how to get to the vents but first (Draco drops to the ground beside the desk ---- then standing) We discuss the subject of payment VOLDEMORT: A Catch Theres always a catch. Is there nothing in this world so cruel and demanding as the soul of a child? What do you want Malloy? DRACO: I want a galaxy traversing rocket ship with enough fuel to get me to Mars! VOLDEMORT: What do you want with a rocket ship? What business do you have on Mars?

39

40 DRACO: Lets just say (music starts) Pigfarts Pigfarts Here I come, Pigfarts Pigfarts YUM YUM YUM SNAPE: With all respect my Lord, theres one tiny flaw in that flawless plan. Albus Dumbledore. VOLDEMORT: AHHH youre right Snape Normally, Id say Ill kill him, but I havent been feeling so evil lately (Draco pats Voldemort on shoulder and then quickly pulls his hand away) VOLDEMORT: So heres how its going to break now Malloy. I need your guarantee that you lead my death eaters into Hogwarts. While simultaneously well be attacking the ministry of magic. Now I need you to promise by the end of the siege of Hogwarts that Dumbledore will be dead. DRACO: We shall shake on it an unbreakable vow (both spit in hands and shake) VOLDEMORT: By the end of tomorrow night Albus Dumbledore will be dead? DRACO: Yes and Ill have my rocket ship. VOLDEMORT: When the technology is available. DRACO: (still shaking Voldemorts hand quickly says) And you have to be my slave for a whole day starting now! (Voldemort jerks away and yells) VOLDEMORT: You little Jerk!!!! (pointing at Draco) You got me You GOT ME!! Oh that is so embarrassing (Draco and Snape are clapping and laughing) Oh, thats the 2nd time that thats happened! Thats why I hate unbreakable curses! DRACO: Oh theres several things Im going to have you do Youre going to clean my room and lay out my knickers and tape Wizards of Waverly Place for me. VOLDEMORT: I hate chores! DRACO: Ill be busy with a murder!

Act 2 Scene 3(Harry and Hermione enter) HERMIONE: Any idea why Dumbledore wanted to meet us so late at night? HARRY: Hes got some information to give us about Voldemort Did you bring the invisibility Cloak? RON: Alright Harry this better be good, because I dont have a snack and Im missing Wizards of Waverly Place for this Ok? So what are we going to do thats so dangOh my gosh (as band member gives Ron twizzlers) I love Redvines you want one HARRY: I love them (Harry eats a redvine) 40

41 HERMIONE: Im leaving HARRY: NOOOOO youre not when I said I needed your help I meant both of you you guys have to get over these bad feelings before somebody gets hurt (Harry knocks on door) DUMBLEDORE: Hey Harry Dang it I told you to come by yourself why did you have to bring the fatties? HARRY: These are my best friends and if this information is as important as you say it is they have a right to know DUMBLEDORE: Well, Ive been wrong before get in here Hot Legs (as everyone follows him) I was talking to Weasley! (Exit, re-enter) Sorry the place is such a sty! (Framed photo of Zac Efron) RON: Oh my gosh Thats a boss Zefron poster! DUMBLEDORE: Every interview Ive ever seen with him he seems like such a charismatic humanitarian HARRY: You think you like him, wrong I like him the most Harry Potter loves Zac Efron better than anyone else on the planet! Anyway thats not what were here to talk about. Were here to talk about Voldemort. DUMBLEDORE: Were not here to talk about Zac Efron cause everybody knows I like him the most! Were here to talk about the dark Lord. In order to defeat this guy youre going to have to know about Horcruxes. HERMIONE, RON and HARRY: (all at same time) Whats a horcrux? DUMBLEDORE: A Horcrux is one of the most terrifying pieces of magic that a wizard can create. It happens when a wizard takes a piece of his soul and puts it into something else. HARRY: Why would someone want to do that? DUMBLEDORE: Harry if you have a Horcrux you can never truly die! Your body can be dead but your soul can move on. He didnt just have just one horcrux, he had 6 horcruxes. Ive already killed the first 5 for you but you guys have to find the last one and destroy it with this. (Ron throws candy down all three are examining the sword) HERMIONE: The sword of Gryffindor! Godric Gryffindor was one of the 4 founders of Hogwarts. If anything can destroy a horcrux, that thing is it. RON: This thing is so dang awesome! Every wizard should have a sword like this not these stupid drumsticks! Forget about it --- (Ron starts practice sword fighting) HARRY: Alright so we know what a horcrux is, but how do we find them? Wheres the last one?

41

42 DUMBLEDORE: To find them we need to use this which looks like a piece of BLING but its really a horcrux seeking medallion (Ron takes the necklace WOW and starts swinging it around like he did when sword fighting) HERMIONE: So if he has this medallion, then why are Ron and I even here? RON: Yeah Voldemort isnt any of our business. DUMBLEDORE: (agitated) Hermione Grainger what are you thinking? Dont you know that if one of you has a problem then all of you has a problem --- what would Zac Efron say at a time like this (Sings ) Were all in this together!! (Pause for music) Anyway, you gotta find the horcruxes and destroy them thats all there is to it. (Noise offstage) Oh, it must be the death eaters coming to kill me kids put your beards on! HERMIONE: We dont have beards HARRY: We brought the invisibility cloak DUMBLEDORE: Oh alright put the invisibility cloak on. (Ron, Harry and Hermione all get under the invisibility cloak Death eaters enter) DEATH EATER 1: Hey are you Dumbledore? DUMBLEDORE: NOOOO. See Ive got this beard on. DEATH EATER 2: Alright everybody spread out and look for Dumbledore (Death eaters look all around) DEATH EATER 3: Hes got to be here somewhere DUMBLEDORE: Be careful with the Zac Efron poster its an antique! DEATH EATER 1: Why do you care so much about Zefron? DUMBLEDORE: I just appreciate his charm! And his hair HARRY: Yeah, but everybody knows I like him best (Death eaters look around room) DEATH EATER 1: Who said that? DEATH EATER 3: I wish I could say that it was me because I feel I love Zac Efron the most! But it was definitely a voice from within this room DEATH EATER 2: Was it an invisible man? 42

43 DEATH EATER 3: Could the predator be in the room? DEATH EATER 1: Begin INVISIBLE MAN search (the death eaters spread arms out and start feeling around) DUMBLEDORE: (Removes beard) Its me its Dumbledore! DEATH EATER 1: Dumbledore whered you come from? DUMBLEDORE: The man with the beard turned me in. DEATH EATER 2: Now weve got you right where we want you! DUMBLEDORE: Yes but what I dont understand is how? DEATH EATER 3: WE had the help of a man on the inside someone you trusted someone you may have even loved, DUMBLEDORE: Aberforth my brother?? (Draco enters room) DRACO: NO! It was me! DUMBLEDORE: Malfoy you little jerk! DRACO: Thats right DumbledoreI betrayed everyone! And now Im going to kill you DUMBLEDORE: Oh, no youre not Draco if you were going to kill me you would have already done it DRACO: No, not necessarily true! No I just wanted to offer you one more game of Connect 4 before I oft you! DUMBLEDORE: You know Draco, there are other options. Its time you looked inside yourself and figure out what you really want. DRACO: I want Hermione Grainger (really fast) and a rocket ship! DUMBLEDORE: Then why didnt you just take the girl out for a happy meal or take her to space camp? Come on! Murder leads to despair and desperation. I know youre going to do the right thing (Snape enters) SNAPE: What the devil is going on here? DEATH EATER 1: Weve got Dumbledore corned SNAPE: Well, what are you waiting for? Kill him do it Draco 43

44 DRACO: Well, I dont think I can SNAPE: COWARD 10 points from Gryffindor! DUMBLEDORE: I dont understand I gave you my lettermans jacket SNAPE: It never fit. (Points wand at Du in menacing way) DUMBLEDORE: Why didnt you tell me I could have shrunk it with magic Severus please dont kill me SNAPE: Avada cadavra! (Death eaters and Snape celebrate; Lights go out, then come up after death eaters exit) HARRY: I hate him I hate him Im going to kill him! HERMIONE: Its not your fault Harry. HARRY: It is my fault Everybodys dying because of me 1st Cedric now Dumbledore I cant do it anymore. RON: Come on lets go to the Borough. HARRY: No dont you get it? I have to do this by myself I did it once as a baby I cant have you guys near me Youre at risk HERMIONE: We dont care about the risk. HARRY: NO you dont understand. You have to get away from me. RON: You cant mean that. HARRY: I do Just leave me alone (Harry runs off, blackout)

Act 2 Scene 5(Harry is setting stage center and Ginny enters from stage left) GINNY: Harry? HARRY: Ginny what are you doing here you have to get out of here GINNY: I cant theres nowhere to go the Death Eaters are all over the castle HARRY: Yeah and theyre looking for me and if they find me and youre with me youre going to be in trouble.

44

45 GINNY: What are you going to do? HARRY: I dont know Ginny, Im not cut out for this kind of thing. GINNY: No you have to do something youre Harry Potter. HARRY: No. GINNY: Youre the boy who lived. HARRY: No you dont get it. None of you guys get it Im just a 12 yr old kid. Ginny, Im sorry Im alone and its hopeless. GINNY: Ive been alone surrounded by darkness and Ive seen how heartless the world can be And Ive seen you crying you felt like its hopeless Ill always do my best to make you see That Harry, youre not alone cause youre here with me and nothings ever gonna bring us down cause nothing can keep me from lovin you and you know its true it dont matter whatll come to be our love is all we need to make it through Now I know it aint easy (HARRY: No it aint easy) But it aint hard trying (HARRY: its so hard trying) every time I see you smiling and I feel you so close to me tell me GINNY & HARRY: That baby youre not alone cause youre here with me and nothings ever gonna bring us down cause nothing can keep me from lovin you and you know its true it dont matter whatll come to be our love is all we need to make it through HARRY: 45

46 Now I still have trouble I trip and stumble trying to make sense of things sometimes I look for reasons but I dont need em all I need is to look in your eyes and I realize RON: Hey Harry! HARRY: You guys came back. HARRY, RON, HERMIONE, & GINNY: Baby youre not alone cause youre here with me and nothings ever gonna bring us down cause nothing can keep me from lovin you and you know its true it dont matter whatll come to be our love is all we need to make it through HARRY: Im so glad you guys came back. HERMIONE: Now that we got that 4 part harmony out of the way, why dont we go look for that Horcrux? HARRY: Yeah, lets do it. RON: Well, it could be anywhere. If I had a horcrux, I would blast it into space with a monkey who knew nothing about horcruxes. HERMIONE: Or it could be hidden somewhere around the mundane British countryside. Our search could entail months of breaking into Gringotts and drinking boatloads of polyjuice potion. HARRY: Well, the medallion says thats dumb so were not going to do that. It does say its in one convenient place, get this, Hogwarts! RON: Well, thats awesome! HARRY: Even better it says its in Dumbledores office, so lets go. Wait a second, how did you get here? Theres Death eaters all over Hogwarts. GINNY: TA DA!!!!!! (Draco enters) HARRY: MALFOY!

46

47 (Ginny standing by Malfoy all others on other side pointing wands at Malfoy) GINNY: No No hes really nice now! DRACO: I just wanted to say that was a really nice song you sang! Maybe if you do a reprise I could have a go at it! As Ginny said, Im really nice now and I just feel awful about what happened. But could you argue that this was my fault? RON and HARRY: Yes absolutely yes! DRACO: Yes well, that would be a safe argument. But let me ask you one question. Do you think Im happy about this? RON: Oh my God Malfoy, just because youre upset doesnt mean youre off the hook HARRY: Malfoy, do you want to kick your own ass or should we do it for you? DRACO: Well, I guess if youre giving me the option, I guess Ill kick my own, thank you. But first, I should teach you how to get into Dumbledores office. Its ironically the same way the Death Eaters got in. HERMIONE: Alright why dont you boys head off to Dumbledores office. Ginny and I will take the invisibility cloak and we will see if we can contact the Order of the Phoenix, we really havent seen them the whole play. (Draco is trying to pat Ron and Harry on back) HARRY: Thats a good idea. Dont touch people. Ok, lets go. RON: Hey Hermione--- come here a second, come downstage. Hey listen, um, uh, Snap, alright. Ive been acting like a real jerk lately, I think you know that. And Im sorry. Its just seeing you dance with everyone at the Yule ball kinda made me jealous yeah I was jealous! HERMIONE: You were jealous? RON: Thats the 3rd time Ive said I was jealous. HERMIONE: Ron, we dont really have to talk about this right now. (They get closer but stop and Ron sprays breath spray in Hermiones mouth) RON: Its blueberry HERMIONE I can tell (Then as they start to get close enough to kiss Ron jerks back and says Oh, its Ungodly;Ron then gives Hermione gum and then says Take 2 as he puts the gum in her mouth) RON: You chew it. (Ron takes a sniff) Awesome! (They kiss) Lets go kill Voldemort! 47

48

Act 2 Scene 6(Ron Harry and Draco go into Dumbledores office and Ron is wielding the sword Draco picks up the photo of Zefron.) DRACO: Do you both see the Zefron poster? RON: Yeah Malfoy, we know about it. (Draco touches Zachs head) HARRY: Listen Draco its not that big a deal could you just help us look for the horcrux please? RON: Is this thing of pencils a horcrux (Harry points necklace at it) HARRY: No (Draco and Ron continue to pull various objects out and say is this a horcrux? and HARRY: says no) RON: UUUUUGHHHHH This could take forever there are so many things in this room. The only thing of real value is that Zefron poster. HARRY: Wait a second! You dont think. (They all look at the poster HARRY: Holds poster up and Voldemorts face appears through the opening where Zacs face was. They all scream and run away and then point Sword, wand etc at Voldemort, Draco is hanging on to Rons leg) HARRY: Ron kill it kill it its the last horcrux! DRACO: No, its Zefron! RON: But its so charismatic!!! VOLDEMORT: Im not your enemy! Potter is the enemy! RON: Harry is my friend. VOLDEMORT: You gotta get your head in the game Weasley! (Ron is shaking his head trying not to listen) He will betray you he will take that which you want the most! HARRY: Hey Ron dont listen to him hes lying. VOLDEMORT: I know your faults I know what you truly desire (Hermione shows up in picture frame)

48

49 HERMIONE: As long as Harrys around youll always be second best! But if Harry were gone then we could be together forever! RON: But Harrys my friend. HERMIONE: But dont you want me Ron, dont ya? RON: Yes! HERMIONE: Dont ya want me Ron RON: Yes! HERMIONE: Then you know what you gotta do! RON: Yes I must kill Harry (Ron starts to move like a robot (or in a trance) heading toward Harry on the floor) HARRY: No Ron its a trick dont listen to her! Stop it Listen Hermione is one of my best friends, I would never do anything to hurt you or her! (Ron has sword raised high and ready to strike) HERMIONE: LIES They are all LIES HARRY: Ron its not true youre my best friend! (drums building Ron turns and hits the poster Hermione drops it and runs away; Ron continues hitting poster) HARRY: Do it again! (Ron drops to ground exhausted, reaches up on desk and get donuts and starts eating them, Draco picks up poster) DRACO: Put some tape on this its fine! HARRY: Ron, you had me going there for a minute buddy RON: Oh, yeah sorry about that pal. Its just everything she was saying and I couldnt. I would never do anything to hurt you! I love you man HARRY: I love you too man. (They hug and Draco tries to get in on the hug Ron pushes Draco away) DRACO: Listen Chaps, as fun as this was, I thought destroying the horcrux was going to be a lot harder. RON & HARRY: Yeah RON: When you think about it Horcruxes are just kinda stupid! (Bellatrix and several Death eaters have Ginny and Hermione by the hair and are running into the room with her! All swords and wands are out) 49

50 DRACO: Ginny, how did you get captured? You were invisible HERMIONE: Sorry! BELLATRIX: Do it Potter and they die! HARRY: Looks like weve got our backs up against the wall with nowhere to go. Put your swords down and wands. BELLATRIX: Ah, look at little bitty Harry Potter, giving orders to his little bitty baby friends. HARRY: Im not a baby Im 12. (Snape enters) SNAPE: What the devil is going on here? Whoa dj vue. BELLATRIX: We have Potter and his friends at last. RON: Dumbledore trusted you. HARRY: Youre a big fat traitor Snape! SNAPE: Oh a traitor am I? Potter, youre exactly right because Im about to betray someone! Right now! (Snape cuts left hand off the closest Death Eater) (Mass yelling; other Death eater drops to ground Hermione and Ginny run to Ron and HARRY:) SNAPE: Bat bogey hex (pointed at last death eater, who then runs around flapping his wings) BELLATRIX: Serpents sorcia! (curse someone drops a snake by Snape who picks it up and yells) BELLATRIX: (pointing at Harry, etc) Dont even think about it unless you want a snake too! (Molly Weasley enters stage left) BELLATRIX: Who the hell are you? MOLLY: Im Molly Weasley and those are my kids! Avada cadavraWITCH! (Bellatrix falls down dead) RON: (Ron and Ginny run to their mom and hug her) Holy crap! You killed her I thought you were just going to make her tuck in her shirt or do the dishes! (After a big hug Molly bops them on the back of the head and they both moan) MOLLY: Desperate times call for desperate measures even the unforgiveable can be forgiven. 50

51 GINNY: What are you doing here? MOLLY: I came here with the order of the Phoenix, Lupin, Tonks, Mad-eye Moody, Sirius Black and your brother Fred. RON: Oh, great! Where are they? MOLLY: Theyre all dead. Anyway, I just came here to save your lives, go back to what you were doing (she fixes Rons collar, opens door and blows them a kiss ) DISSAPARATE!

Act 2 Scene 7(Snape is on ground with snake, Ron and Ginny are stunned, Harry rushes to Snape on ground) HARRY: Snape, Snape Expelliamus! (Ron runs over and stomps on snake and says DIE, DIE!) HERMIONE: Ron, thats a coral snake and everyone knows that a coral snake is very poisonous SNAPE: Its too late for me now Before I go, I need to tell you, there is another Horcrux (Snape is in Harrys arms and Draco and Ginny are on the ground beside them) HERMIONE: How can that be? All 6 have been destroyed! SNAPE: No, NO Theres a seventh. RON: Gee I really hope its not an Ashley Tisdale poster, I couldnt deal with that! SNAPE: The Medallion! HARRY: But it doesnt say anything. (holding it up) SNAPE: Then give it to Granger. HERMIONE: It says theres one right here, but I dont understand. SNAPE: Harry, the night Voldemort killed your parents, he tried to destroy you but instead his body was destroyed. When that happened, a part of his soul was blasted away and attached itself to you. Voldemort can never truly die until all the horcruxes have been destroyed. HERMIONE: But if Harrys a horcrux, then does Harry have to be destroyed? Theres got to be another way. SNAPE: No Potter, Ill show you what you have to do. Watchverycarefully. (Snape drops dead and everyone is stunned) DRACO: He didnt even do anything. 51

52 HARRY: Thats because hes dead. (Voldemort enters stage left and taps the stage with wand) VOLDEMORT: People of Hogwarts, My Death Eaters have taken over the castle and your headmaster Dumbledore is dead. Youve all fought valiantly and Im willing to offer you positions in my new world order (aside) as my slaves. (To everyone) Give up now and be forgiven. Now, Harry Potter I speak directly to you. If you do not wish for those closest to you to suffer and die on your behalf, you will come face me yourself. Ill be waiting for you in the Forbidden Forest for one hour. Voldemort out Witches! (Stage left lights out) HERMIONE: Well, ok, guys dont worry, we still have an hour, and we just need to come up with a plan. HARRY: Theres no plan Hermione, I know what I have to do I have to die. GINNY: No no NO NO! Theres got to be another way! HARRY: No no just forget about it. Theres only one thing to do (picking up invisibility cloak) I have to die! I love you all except you Draco I cant freaking stand you!(Dracos head goes down, dejectedly) Goodbye! RON and HERMIONE: Harry! (lights go out; music starts; piano building to crescendo; Death Eaters and Voldemort are onstage) DEATH EATER 1: Hes not coming my Lord! VOLDEMORT: It seems that way, Well Death Eaters, it seems were going back to seize the castle. This is what Potter has chosen. Its funny, I expected him to come. It seems I was mistaken. (HARRY: throws off invisibility cloak and walks onstage) HARRY: You werent! VOLDEMORT: Harry Potter the boy who lived! (Points wand) Crucio! (Harry convulsing on ground) Youre not even going to fight back? (V growls) Youre weak just like your parents. Prepare to join them PREPARETO DIE! Avada cadavra (HARRY: lies still) DEATH EATERS: Yeah! Youve done it my lord, Potter is dead! No one will ever question your powers again. VOLDEMORT: YES! DEATH EATER 2: Does this please you my lord? (Voldemort walks around Harrys body) VOLDEMORT: Yeah, (pause) yeah, its great! I just thought it might make me less empty inside. Well (as he walks over to Death eaters) we go back to Hogwarts to tell them what has become of their hero (Blackout) 52

53

Act 2 Scene 8(Dumbledore on bench, Harry on ground) DUMBLEDORE: Hey Harry. HARRY: Dumbledore where am I? I thought I was dead. DUMBLEDORE: Lets just say you are somewhere between our world and theirs. HARRY: What? Did I survive? DUMBLEDORE: It wouldnt be the first time Potter. Take a seat. HARRY: Alright DUMBLEDORE: Harry, have you ever heard of a love shield? HARRY: Uh, no but it sounds kinda fruity. DUMBLEDORE: A love shield is anything but fruity its when somebody loves you so much that if they were willing to give their life for you. Then their love becomes a shield around your body to protect you from any dark magic. HARRY: So, is that what happened to me? I have a love shield? DUMBLEDORE: Harry its time for you to learn all the things you should have known 7 years ago, which would have helped you along the way. (Dumbledore shows Harry the pad of paper with these items on it) The love shield protected you the first time. Voldemort accidently turned you into the 7th horcrux, one that not even he knew about. And when Voldemort tried killing you this time, he was actually unknowingly killing the piece of himself that was inside you. And, Ive known the whole time! HARRY: You knew this whole time, you jerk! DUMBLEDORE: Hey they dont call me the greatest wizard who ever lived for nothing! (Dumbledore standing) Harry its time for you to get your little butt back there and fight him as a mortal man! Except this time, he will be a mortal man too! HARRY: I get what youre saying I know what I have to do. (walking away turns back) Hey before I goSo youre clairvoyant now, you can see the past, the present and the future? DUMBLEDORE: Yes I can. HARRY: Can you explain that weird ending to Lost? DUMBLEDORE: Harry, there are some questions that even I cannot answer. HARRY: Thanks man! 53

54 DUMBLEDORE: No problem. Hey, get outta here! 3rd door on your left. RUMBLEROAR: Are you ready to leave Dumbledore (crawling into room)? DUMBLEDORE: Sure am! RUMBLEROAR: And youre sure you dont want to let Harry Potter know that youre really still alive? DUMBLEDORE: Oh, no. Pigfarts has been a closely guarded secret for thousands of years it sure would be a shame to let the cat out of the bag! No pun intended. (Dumbledore climbs on his back) Are you ready to go? RUMBLEROAR: I sure am. To Pigfarts! RUMBLEROAR!!!! (Blackout; Voldemort is center stage with his wand and taps floor again) VOLDEMORT: People of Hogwarts, its me! Harry Potter is deadhe was killed while running away trying to save his life while you laid down your lives for him! Continue to resist and be slaughtered! Come out of the castle, kneel before me and you may be spared. (Every one sitting on bench and floor; Ron is standing in center) RON: You guys barricade the door take the bench do it right now. (They start taking bench over to door)You (Cho Chang) see if Nevilles dead. You guys (pointing to several of them) go get snacks! Oh, shoot, we cant we just barricaded the door! Well theres only one thing left to do were going to fight. DRACO: (on floor with legs extended in front of him) Oh, come on! Im tired. (throws himself on floor) Cant we just be death eaters? RON: No, (walking over to Draco) No we cant just be death eaters! OK? (Kicks at Dracos leg, Draco starts getting up) Were going to fight and were going to fight so hard that were going to win. (Harry enters)

Act2 Scene 9(Everyone still on stage lights up; banging on door, everyone runs to middle) HARRY: Dont worry, no one can get in. RON: Yeah, well be fine. (Voldemort comes in and everyone shrieks) VOLDEMORT: Avada cadavra! (He sees Potter and is shocked) WHAT!? Potter how many times do I have to kill you boy? (Pointing wand at Harry)

54

55 HARRY: (pointing his wand at V) Clearly more than once but its all over Voldemort, you cant kill me this time. Nobody help me, Ive got to do this myself! VOLDEMORT: He doesnt mean that, its not how he operates. So boy, who are you going to use as a human shield this time? (Ron heard about human shield and moves out, then back into group) HARRY: Nobody! Cause this time its just you and me I destroyed all the horcruxes VOLDEMORT: Even my Zefron poster? HARRY: ESPECIALLY the Zefron poster VOLDEMORT: AAAHHHH, Curse you Potter, youll die for that! HARRY: No, No I wont! Because you cant kill me and you cant kill any of these people VOLDEMORT: What the heck are you on about? HARRY: You dont learn from your mistakes do you Voldemort? I was prepared to die for these people VOLDEMORT: But you didnt! HARRY: Yes, but I meant to! And thats what did it. Ive given them magical sanctuary. You cant hurt these people or me ever again! VOLDEMORT: So what! Who cares about these children, its you I want dead. Potter, whats to stop you from dying when I strike? HARRY: Just one thing: think about all the people youve hurt Voldemort, all the people you killed! Try to think about all the lives youve destroyed! Theres got to be one thing, one person, that you miss VOLDEMORT: (with dreamy look then becomes harsh again; points wand at pianono more music) NO THERE ISNT!!!! Curses on you Potter, I dont care about anybody! HARRY: I know and thats what makes you such a piece of crap. You see at Hogwarts, we all stick together, we love one another, were friends! My loves protected these guys and their love is all I need to be protected from you. VOLDEMORT: Lets put that theory to the test, Potter! Avada cadavra HARRY: Expelliamus! (Voldemort dies) CHO: Well, chocolate frogs! Harry Potter did it, yall!! (Everyone excited jumping up and down, 2 people drag Voldemort off! Harry and Ginny kiss, Ron runs up to them) 55

56 RON: NO NO whoa whoa, hey listen, I just want to let you guys know (Ginny is fixing her hair and skir
