Scene 26:
Aragog.LOCATION:
Hogwarts – Hagrid’s hut – exterior - nightHARRY:
Come on!RON:
What?!HARRY:
You heard what Hagrid said; ‘Follow the spiders.’RON:
They’re headed to the Dark Forest! Why spiders! Why couldn’t it be“follow the butterflies?”
LOCATION:
Hogwarts – Dark Forest - nightRON:
Harry, I don’t like this... Harry, I don’t like this at all!HARRY:
Shush!RON:
Can we go back now?HARRY:
Come on!ARAGOG:
Who is it?HARRY:
Don’t panic.ARAGOG:
Hagrid? Is that you?HARRY:
We’re friends of Hagrid’s. And you? Y- y-you’re Aragog aren’t you?ARAGOG:
Yes. Hagrid has never sent men into our hollow before.HARRY:
He’s in trouble. Up at the school, there have been attacks. They thinkit’s Hagrid. They think he opened the Chamber of Secrets, like before.
ARAGOG:
That’s a lie! Hagrid never opened the Chamber of Secrets.HARRY:
Then you’re not the monster.ARAGOG:
No! The monster was born in the castle. I came to Hagrid from adistant land, in the pocket of a traveler.
RON:
Harry.HARRY:
Shush. But if you’re not the monster, then- then what did kill thatARAGOG:
We do not speak of it. It is an ancient creature we spiders fearabove all others.
HARRY:
But have you seen it?ARAGOG:
I never saw any part of the castle but the box in which Hagrid keptme. The girl was discovered in a bathroom. When I was accused, Hagrid brought
me here.
RON:
Harry!HARRY:
What?RON:
Ahh- hhh...Scene 27:
Spider attack.HARRY:
Well, thank you. We’ll just...go.ARAGOG:
Go? I think not. My sons and daughters do not harm Hagrid on mycommand. But I cannot deny them fresh meat when it wanders so willingly into
our midst. Good-bye, friend of Hagrid.
RON:
Can we panic now?RON:
Know any spells?HARRY:
One, but it’s not powerful enough for all of them.RON:
Where’s Hermione when you need her?HARRY:
Let’s go! Arania exumai! Go!HARRY, RON:
Whoah!RON:
Glad we’re out of there. Ah- Aaaah!HARRY:
Arania exumai!RON:
Thanks for that.HARRY:
Don’t mention it. Get us out of here. Now! Come on! Come on! Movefaster!
HARRY, RON:
Aah!HARRY:
Go on! Go! Get us in the air.RON:
The flying gear’s jammed!HARRY:
Come on! Pull!RON:
I’m trying!RON:
Follow the spiders! Follow the spiders! If Hagrid ever gets out ofAzkaban, I’ll kill him! I mean, what was the point of sending us in there?
What have we found out?
HARRY:
We know one thing. Hagrid never opened the Chamber of Secrets. He wasinnocent.
Scene 28:
Missing.LOCATION:
Hogwarts – exterior – duskLOCATION:
Hogwarts – Hospital wing - duskHARRY:
Wish you were here Hermione. We need you... now, more than ever.RON:
What’s that?HARRY:
Ron, this is why Hermione was in the Library the day she was attacked.Come on!
LOCATION:
Hogwarts - corridor - nightHARRY:
‘Of the many fearsome beasts that roam our land, none is more deadlythan the basilisk. Capable of living for hundreds of years, instant death
awaits any who meet this giant serpent’s eye. Spiders flee before it.’ Ron,
this is it. The monster in the Chamber of Secrets is a basilisk. That’s why I
can hear it speak. It’s a snake!
RON:
But if it kills by looking people in the eye, why is it no one’s dead?HARRY:
Because no one did look it in the eye. Not directly, at least. Colinsaw it through his camera. Justin...Justin must have seen the basilisk
through Nearly Headless Nick. Nick got the full blast of it- but he’s a
ghost- he couldn’t die again. And Hermione...had the mirror. I bet you
anything she was using it to look around corners, in case it came along.
RON:
And Mrs. Norris? I’m pretty sure she didn’t have a camera or a mirror,Harry.
HARRY:
The water. There was water on the floor that night. She only saw thebasilisk’s reflection. ‘Spiders flee before it.’ It all fits!
RON:
But how’s a basilisk been getting around? A dirty great snake- someonewould have seen it.
HARRY:
Hermione’s answered that, too.RON:
Pipes? It’s using the plumbing!HARRY:
Remember what Aragog said, about that girl fifty years ago? She diedin a bathroom? What if she never left?
RON:
Moaning Myrtle.PROFESSOR MCGONAGALL: All students are to return to their house dormitories
at once. All teachers to the second floor corridor, immediately.

LOCATION:
Hogwarts – corridor - nightPROFESSOR MCGONAGALL: As you can see, the Heir of Slytherin has left another
message. Our worst fear has been realized. A student has been taken by the
monster into the Chamber itself. The students must be sent home. I’m afraid
this is the end of Hogwarts.
PROFESSOR LOCKHART: So sorry- dozed off- what have I missed?
SNAPE:
A girl has been snatched by the monster, Lockhart. Your moment hascome, at last.
PROFESSOR LOCKHART: My m-moment?
SNAPE:
Weren’t you saying just last night that you’ve known all along wherethe entrance to the Chamber of Secrets is?
PROFESSOR MCGONAGALL: Well, that’s settled. We’ll leave you to deal with the
monster, Gilderoy. Your skills, after all, are legend.
PROFESSOR LOCKHART: Very well- ah- I’ll just be in my office getting, umgetting
ready.
MADAME POMFREY:
Who is it that the monster’s taken, Minerva?PROFESSOR MCGONAGALL: Ginny Weasley.
RON:
‘Her skeleton will lie in the chamber forever.’ Ginny...Scene 29:
Chamber of Secrets.LOCATION:
Hogwarts – DADA Classroom - nightHARRY:
Lockhart may be useless, but he’s going to try and get into theChamber. At least we can tell him what we know.
LOCATION:
Hogwarts – Professor Lockhart’s office - nightHARRY:
Professor, we have some information for you! Are you going somewhere?PROFESSOR LOCKHART: Uh, ah- well, yes- um, urgent call- unavoidable- got to
go.
RON:
What about my sister?!PROFESSOR LOCKHART: Well, um- as to that, most unfortunate. No one regrets
more than I.
RON:
You’re the Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher! You can’t go now!PROFESSOR LOCKHART: Well- I must say- when I took the job there was nothing
in the job description about aHARRY:
You’re running away? After all that stuff you did in your books?
PROFESSOR LOCKHART: Books can be misleading!
HARRY:
You wrote them!PROFESSOR LOCKHART: My dear boy, do use your common sense! My books wouldn’t
have sold half as well if people didn’t think I’d done all those things!
HARRY:
You’re a fraud! You’ve just been taking credit for what other wizardshave done!
RON:
Is there anything you can do?PROFESSOR LOCKHART: Yes, now you mention it. I’m rather gifted with Memory
Charms. Otherwise, you see, all those wizards would have gone blabbing. And
I’d never have sold another book. In fact, ah...I’m ah...going to have to do
the same to you.
HARRY:
Don’t even think about it.LOCATION:
Hogwarts – Girl’s bathroom - nightMOANING MYRTLE:
Oh! Who’s there? Oh! Hello, Harry! Ron. What do you want?HARRY:
To ask you how you died.MOANING MYRTLE:
Oh! It was dreadful. It happened right here in this verycubicle. I’d hidden because Olive Hornby was teasing me about my glasses. I
was crying, and then I heard somebody come in.
HARRY:
Who was it Myrtle?MOANING MYRTLE:
I don’t know. I was Distraught! Huhh-huh...But they saidsomething funny, a kind of made up language. And I realized it was a boy
speaking, so I unlocked the door to tell him to go away and... I died.
HARRY:
Just like that? How?MOANING MYRTLE:
I just remember seeing a pair of great big yellow eyes...overthere, by that sink. Ohhhhooo...
HARRY:
This is it. This is it, Ron. I think this is the entrance to theChamber of Secrets.
RON:
Say something. Harry, say something in Parseltongue!HARRY:
Hesha- Hassah.PROFESSOR LOCKHART: Excellent, Harry. Haa! Good work! Well then, I’ll just
be, ah... There’s no need for me to stay.
HARRY:
Oh, yes there is! You first.PROFESSOR LOCKHART: Now, boys what good will it do?
RON:
Better you than us.PROFESSOR LOCKHART: Um...but...obviously, yes. Sure you don’t want to test it
first? No! Aaaah! It’s really quite filthy down here.
HARRY:
All right. Let’s go.MOANING MYRTLE:
Oh, Harry? If you die down there, you’re welcome to share mytoilet. Hee, hee.
HARRY:
Uh...thanks Myrtle.HARRY & RON:
Aaah!
