A Change of Plans

Trailer for A Change of Plans

(Opens outside a suburban house. Two girls are sneaking toward the door.)

NARRATOR: Never were there such potter-freaks...

(The same two girls are inside a house. One of them holds out Sorcerer's Stone.)

PATSY (GIRL 1): I never travel without it.

NARRATOR: Never were there such pranksters...

(Both girls are on a trampoline, jumping up and down, slamming pillows into each other)

ANNIE (GIRL 2): (screams) Erm...I DON'T KNOW WHAT I JUST DID TO PATSY, BUT I'M TRIUMPHANT!

NARRATOR: And never was there such a grudge...

(The two are sitting on a bed in a bedroom)

ANNIE: Dad died only just a year ago, and she's already gone out with about fifty guys!

PATSY: Thirty-eight. And it's been over a year, Annie.

ANNIE: Who cares? She didn't even wait six months until she started going out with other guys. Does she even care?

NARRATOR: But what happens when the girls meet their match...

(Patsy has just come storming through the bedroom door)

PATSY: Phase Five, is dead.

ANNIE: This guy is too good! I mean, what can we do to get rid of him!

NARRATOR: In Sirus Blake?

(Bedroom, different scene)

PATSY: Sirus Blake...Sirius Black...

(Both girls slip through a door, and into a house. There they see a man's lower body sticking out of green flames)

SIRUS BLAKE: James! James! C'mon, James, you're a father! The girls are gone! I can't find them anywhere!

PATSY: (to Annie; whispers) I didn't know you guys had a fireplace.

ANNIE: (stunned) We don't.

NARRATOR: What if you discovered...

(Both girls look at each other. They grin evilly and as one, push the man into the flames. He disappears.)

NARRATOR: The books you so adored...

(Patsy is staring incredulously at a stunned adult James Potter)

PATSY: What books? The Harry Potter books, of course, by J. K. Rowling! The best selling books in the Muggle world! They give the whole story, or, at least, I thought they did.

NARRATOR: Were true?

(Sirus Blake is talking feverishly to James Potter, while the girls listen in, unseen and unnoticed.)

SIRUS BLAKE: They didn't like me anyway, and I tried to force them...

(Patsy walks into their view)

PATSY: Force us to do what?

NARRATOR: Sort of.

ANNIE: Why aren't you dead?

(Different scene.)

PATSY: ...it's all in book five, Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, where you (she turns to Sirius) die.

NARRATOR: And in this world...

ANNIE: (almost insanely) You're Sirius Black, Auror and wizard, who also happens to be engaged to my mother!?!

NARRATOR: Only those who can expect the unexpected...

ANNIE: (sings, off-key) Ginny, Ron, Fred, Geooorge! Charlie, and Biiilll! But we won't mention Percy! He deserves to be tossed from a window siiilll!

NARRATOR: Will survive.

PATSY: (in mock concern) Not likely.

NARRATOR: A Change of Plans...

(Annie's mother is arm in arm with Sirus [Sirius], and she is beaming at the two girls)

MOTHER: Girls, Sirus and I are going to get married!

(Annie is standing next to her pale mother)

ANNIE: (bluntly) What is going on here?

(Outside, Patsy shakes her head at Annie)

PATSY: Just follow my lead.

NARRATOR: A new alternate universe: Where everything you ever knew turns out to be fiction.

(Annie is half screaming, half laughing)

ANNIE: HE--IS--NOT--DEAD!

NARRATOR: Coming soon.
