Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets Page #7

Scene 20:
Polyjuice Potion.

LOCATION:
Hogwarts – exterior – winter - daytime

LOCATION:
Hogwarts – Great Hall decorated for Christmas - night

HERMIONE:
Everything’s set. We just need a bit of who you’re changing into.

HARRY:
Crabbe and Goyle.

HERMIONE:
We also need to make sure that the real Crabbe and Goyle can’t

burst in on us while we’re interrogating Malfoy.

RON:
How?

HERMIONE:
I’ve got it all worked out. I filled these with a simple Sleeping

Draught. Simple, but powerful. Now, once they’re asleep hide them in the

broomstick cupboard and pull out a few of their hairs, and put on their

uniforms.

RON:
Whose hair are you ripping out then?

HERMIONE:
I’ve already got mine. Millicent Bulstrode– Slytherin- I got this

off her robes. I’m going to go check on the Polyjuice Potion. Make sure that

Crabbe and Goyle find these.

LOCATION:
Hogwarts – entrance hall - night

RON:
Ahem...

HARRY:
Ron, maybe I should do it?

RON:
Yeah. Right.

HARRY:
Wingardium leviosa. Here they come.

CRABBE:
It’s good right? Ah... Cool!

CRABBE & GOYLE: Ummm...um.

RON:
How thick could you get?

HARRY:
Come on. Let’s get ‘em.

LOCATION:
Hogwarts – Girl’s bathroom - night

HERMIONE:
We’ll have exactly one hour before we change back into ourselves...

Add the hairs.

RON:
Ugh- essence of Crabbe.

HERMIONE:
Cheers!

RON:
I think I’m gonna be sick!

HERMIONE:
Me too.

HARRY:
Ughh!

RON (as CRABBE):
Uh... Harry?

HARRY (as GOYLE): Ron!

RON (as CRABBE):
Bloody hell!

HARRY (as GOYLE): We still sound like ourselves. You need to sound more like

Crabbe.

RON (as CRABBE):
Uh... Bloody hell.

HARRY (as GOYLE): Excellent.

RON (as CRABBE):
But where’s Hermione?

HERMIONE:
I- I don’t think I’m going. You go on without me!

HARRY (as GOYLE): Hermione, are you okay?

HERMIONE:
Just go. You’re wasting time!

HARRY (as GOYLE): Come on.

Scene 21:
Harry and Ron transformed.

LOCATION:
Hogwarts – corridor to the dungeons - night

HARRY (as GOYLE): I think the Slytherin common room’s this way.

RON (as CRABBE):
Okay.

PERCY:
Excuse me.

RON (as CRABBE):
What are you doing d- uh, I mean... What are you doing down

here?

PERCY:
I happen to be a school prefect. You, on the other hand, have no

business wandering the corridors at this time of night. What are your names

again?

RON (as CRABBE):
Uhh...

HARRY (as GOYLE): I’m...

DRACO:
Crabbe, Goyle! Where have you two been? Pigging out in the Great Hall

all this time? Why are you wearing glasses?

HARRY (as GOYLE): Ah- um... Reading.

DRACO:
Reading?

HARRY (as GOYLE): Uh-huh.

DRACO:
I didn’t know you could read. And what are you doing down here,

Weasley?

PERCY:
Mind your attitude, Malfoy.

LOCATION:
Hogwarts – Slytherin common room - night

DRACO:
Well, sit down. You’d never know the Weasleys were pure-bloods, the

way they behave. They’re an embarrassment to the wizarding world. All of

them. What’s wrong with you, Crabbe?

RON (as CRABBE):
Ahem...Stomachache.

DRACO:
You know, I’m surprised that the Daily Prophet hasn’t done a report on

all these attacks. I suppose Dumbledore is trying to hush it all up. Father

always said Dumbledore was the worst thing that ever happened to this place.

HARRY (as GOYLE): You’re wrong!

DRACO:
What? You think there’s someone here who’s worse than Dumbledore?

Well? Do you?

HARRY (as GOYLE): Harry Potter? (gulp)

DRACO:
Good one, Goyle. You’re absolutely right. Saint Potter. And people

actually think that he’s the Heir of Slytherin!

HARRY (as GOYLE): But then you must have some idea who’s behind it all.

DRACO:
You know I don’t Goyle. I told you yesterday. How many times do I have

to tell you? Is this yours? But my father did say this: It’s been fifty years

since the Chamber was opened. He wouldn’t tell me who opened it-- only that

they were expelled. The last time the Chamber of Secrets was opened, a

Mudblood died. So, it’s only a matter of time before one of them is killed

this time. As for me, I hope it’s Granger. What’s the matter with you two?

You’re acting very...odd.

HARRY (as GOYLE): It’s his... stomachache. Calm down.

RON (as CRABBE):
S- scar.

HARRY (as GOYLE): Hair!

DRACO:
Hey! Where are you going?

LOCATION:
Hogwarts – Girl’s bathroom - night

RON:
That was close!

HARRY:
Hermione, come out. We’ve got loads to tell you!

HERMIONE:
Go away!

MOANING MYRTLE:
Ahh! Wait till you see. It’s awful! He- ha, ha, he- hee!

HARRY:
Hermione? A- are you OK?

MOANING MYRTLE:
Aaah!

HERMIONE:
Do you remember me telling you that the Polyjuice Potion was only

for human transformations? It was cat’s hair I plucked off Millicent

Bulstrode’s robes. Look at my face.

MOANING MYRTLE:
Hee, ha, ha!

RON:
Look at your tail!

MOANING MYRTLE:
Ha, ha, ha!

Scene 22:
The diary.

LOCATION:
Hogwarts – exterior – stormy night

LOCATION:
Hogwarts – moving staircases - night

RON:
Have you spoken to Hermione?

HARRY:
She should be out of hospital in a few days, when she stops coughing

up fur balls... What’s this?

LOCATION:
Hogwarts – flooded corridor - night

RON:
Yuck!

HARRY:
Looks like Moaning Myrtle’s flooded the bathroom.

LOCATION:
Hogwarts – girl’s bathroom - night

MOANING MYRTLE:
Oooh, oooh, ooooh, huh– huh. Come to throw something else at

me?

HARRY:
Why would I throw something at you?

MOANING MYRTLE:
Don’t ask me! Here I am, minding my own business, and someone

thinks it’s funny to throw a book at me.

RON:
But, it can’t hurt if someone throws something at you. I mean, it’ll

just go right through you.

MOANING MYRTLE:
Sure! Let’s all throw books at Myrtle because she can’t feel

it! Ten points if you get through her stomach! Fifty points if it goes

through her head!

HARRY:
But, who threw it at you, anyway?

MOANING MYRTLE:
I don’t know, I didn’t see them. I was just sitting in the Ubend

thinking about death - aah - and it fell through the top of my head. Uhhuh.

Whoo-oooh-whoooo...

LOCATION:
Hogwarts – Gryffindor Common Room - night

HARRY:
‘Tom Marvolo Riddle.’

HARRY:
‘My name is Harry Potter.’

DIARY:
Hello Harry Potter, my name is Tom Riddle.

HAARY:
‘Do you know anything about the Chamber of Secrets?’

DIARY:
Yes.

HARRY:
‘Can you tell me?’

DIARY:
No. But I can show you. Let me take you back fifty years ago...13th

June

Scene 22:
Tom Riddle.

LOCATION:
Hogwarts – fifty years ago – corridor, staircase - night

HARRY:
Excuse me. Could you tell me what’s going on here? Are you Tom Riddle?

Hello, can you hear me?

DUMBLEDORE:
Riddle! Come.

TOM RIDDLE:
Professor Dumbledore.

HARRY:
Dumbledore?

DUMBLEDORE:
It is not wise to be wandering around this late hour, Tom.

TOM RIDDLE:
Yes, Professor. I- I suppose I- I had to see for myself if the

rumors were true.

DUMBLEDORE:
I’m afraid they are, Tom. They are true.

TOM RIDDLE:
About the school, as well? I don’t have a home to go to. They

wouldn’t really close Hogwarts, would they Professor?

DUMBLEDORE:
I understand Tom, but I’m afraid Headmaster Dippet may have no

choice.

TOM RIDDLE:
Sir- if it all stopped- if the person responsible was caught--

DUMBLEDORE:
Is there something you wish to tell me?

TOM RIDDLE:
No, sir. Nothing.

DUMBLEDORE:
Very well, then. Off you go.

TOM RIDDLE:
Good night, sir.
