Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets Page #11

LOCATION:
Hogwarts – flying up out of chambers - night

PROFESSOR LOCKHART: Amazing! This is just like magic!

Scene 34:
Out of the hat.

LOCATION:
Hogwarts – Dumbledore’s office - morning

DUMBLEDORE:
You both realize, of course, that in the past few hours you have

broken perhaps a dozen school rules?

HARRY, RON:
Yes, sir.

DUMBLEDORE:
And there is sufficient evidence to have you both expelled.

HARRY, RON:
Yes, sir.

DUMBLEDORE:
Therefore, it is only fitting, that you both receive Special

Awards for Services to the School.

RON:
Thanks, sir!

DUMBLEDORE:
And now, Mr. Weasley, if you would, have an owl deliver these

release papers to Azkaban? I believe we- we want our gamekeeper back.

Harry... first, I want to thank you, Harry. You must have shown me real

loyalty down in the Chamber. Nothing but that could have called Fawkes to

you. And, um... second, I sense that something is troubling you. Am I right,

Harry?

HARRY:
It’s just... You see, sir I- I couldn’t help but notice certain

things, certain- certain similarities, between Tom Riddle and me.

DUMBLEDORE:
I see. Well, you can speak Parseltongue, Harry. Why? Because Lord

Voldemort can speak Parseltongue. If I’m not mistaken, Harry, he transferred

some of his powers to you the night he gave you that scar.

HARRY:
Voldemort transferred some of his powers... to me?

DUMBLEDORE:
Not intentionally, but yes.

HARRY:
So the Sorting Hat was right! I should be in Slytherin.

DUMBLEDORE:
It’s true, Harry. You possess many of the qualities that

Voldemort himself prizes. Determination, resourcefulness, and if I may say

so, a certain disregard for the rules. Why then did the Sorting Hat place you

in Gryffindor?

HARRY:
Because I asked it to.

DUMBLEDORE:
Exactly, Harry! Exactly! Which makes you different from

Voldemort. It is not our abilities that show what we truly are. It is our

choices. If you want proof why you belong in Gryffindor, then I suggest that

you look more closely at this. Be careful.

HARRY:
Godric Gryffindor.

DUMBLEDORE:
Ah- it would take a true Gryffindor to pull that out of the hat.

Scene 35:
Dobby’s reward.

HARRY:
Dobby! So this is your master! The family you serve is the Malfoys.

DOBBY:
Um-humm...

LUCIUS MALFOY:
I’ll deal with you later. Out of my way, Potter! So, it’s

true-- you have returned!

DUMBLEDORE:
When the governors learned that Arthur Weasley’s daughter was

taken into the Chamber, they saw fit to summon me back.

LUCIUS MALFOY:
Ridiculous!

DUMBLEDORE:
Curiously, Lucius, several of them were under the impression that

you would curse their families, if they did not agree to suspend me in the

first place.

LUCIUS MALFOY:
How dare you?!

DUMBLEDORE:
I beg your pardon?

LUCIUS MALFOY:
My sole concern has always been, and will always be, the

welfare of this school and, of course, its students. The culprit has been

identified, I presume?

DUMBLEDORE:
Oh, yes.

LUCIUS MALFOY:
And? Who was it?

DUMBLEDORE:
Voldemort.

LUCIUS MALFOY:
Ah!

DUMBLEDORE:
Only, this time, he chose to act through somebody else, by means

of this.

LUCIUS MALFOY:
I see.

DUMBLEDORE:
Fortunately, our young Mr. Potter discovered it. One hopes that

no more of Lord Voldemort’s old school things should find their way into

innocent hands. The consequences for the one responsible would be severe.

LUCIUS MALFOY:
Well, let us hope that Mr. Potter will always be around to

save the day.

HARRY:
Don’t worry. I will be.

LUCIUS MALFOY:
Dumbledore. Come, Dobby. We’re leaving.

DOBBY:
Ahh! Oow!

HARRY:
Sir, I wonder if I could have that?

LOCATION:
Hogwarts - hallway - daytime

HARRY:
Mr. Malfoy! Mr. Malfoy! I have something of yours.

LUCIUS MALFOY:
Mine? I don’t know what you’re talking about.

HARRY:
Oh, I think you do, sir. I think you slipped the diary into Ginny

Weasley’s cauldron, that day at Diagon Alley.

LUCIUS MALFOY:
You do, do you? Why don’t you prove it? Come, Dobby.

Dobby!

HARRY:
Open it.

LUCIUS MALFOY:
Dobby?

DOBBY:
Master has given Dobby a sock!

LUCIUS MALFOY:
What? I didn’t giveDOBBY:

Master has presented Dobby with clothes! Dobby is free!

LUCIUS MALFOY:
You’ve lost me my servant!

DOBBY:
You shall not harm Harry Potter!

LUCIUS MALFOY:
AdvadaLUCIUS

MALFOY:
Your parents were meddlesome fools, too. You mark my words,

Potter, one day soon you are going to meet the same sticky end!

DOBBY:
Harry Potter freed Dobby! How can Dobby ever repay him?

HARRY:
Just promise me something.

DOBBY:
Anything, sir!

HARRY:
Never try to save my life again.

Scene 36:
Welcome back.

LOCATION:
Hogwarts – Great Hall – decorated for Leaving Feast - night

OTHER:
Welcome back, Sir Nicholas!

SIR NICHOLAS:
Thank you!

OTHER:
Good evening, Sir Nicholas!

SIR NICHOLAS:
Good evening!

OTHER:
Good to see you, Sir Nicholas!

SIR NICHOLAS:
Thank you! Hello! Hermione! Welcome back!

HERMIONE:
Thanks, Sir Nicholas!

NEVILLE:
Harry- it’s Hermione!

RON:
Uhh-um... Welcome back, Hermione.

HERMIONE:
It’s good to be back! Congratulations! I can’t believe you solved

it!

HARRY:
Well, we had loads of help from you. We couldn’t have done it without

you.

HERMIONE:
Thanks.

PROFESSOR MCGONAGALL: Could I have your attention, please?

DUMBLEDORE:
Before we begin the feast, let us have a round of applause for

Professor Sprout and Madame Pomfrey, whose Mandrake juice has been so

successfully administered to all who had been Petrified. Also, in light of

the recent events, as a school treat, all exams have been canceled.

HERMIONE:
Oh, no!

HAGRID:
Sorry I’m late! The owl that delivered my release papers got all lost

and confused. Some ruddy bird called Errol. And I’d just like to say that if

it hadn’t been for you, Harry, and Ron, and Hermione, o’ course, I woulduh-

I’d still be you-know-where, so I- I’d just like to say ‘Thanks.’

HARRY:
There’s no Hogwarts without you, Hagrid.

Scene 37:
End Credits.
