Veela Spray

Chapter 4

The scene begins with Ginny and Harry outside the door of the broom closet.

Ginny: Move!

Ginny shoves Harry out of her way playfully.

Harry: You move!

Harry shoves Ginny back the same way.

Narrator: They are fighting over who is going to hear through the door of the broom closet. The door isn't big enough to fit the both of them. Harry now occupies the spot.

Ginny tries to push Harry away from the door.

Ginny: Come on, move! Ah, this isn't fair! You're stronger than me!

Ginny pushes harder and finally pushes Harry away from the door. She takes his place.

Harry: Ouch!

Ginny: Ha!

They both continue to fight to listen through the door.

Scene changes.

Narrator: When Ron and Hermione finally broke apart, Hermione was still stunned. She was so shocked that...well...

Hermione falls flat on her back.

CLUNCK!

Ron: Hermione!

Hermione is on her back on the floor. There is shuffling and voices heard behind the door.

Voice 1: Move!

Voice 2: No! You move!

Voice 1: I swear! You better move before this door brakes open! We're gonna fall!

Wham!

They door brakes open and Harry and Ginny fall in and hit the floor. Looking embarrassed, they get up from the floor and brush themselves off.

Ron: What are you doing?

Ginny: (trying to hide her guilt) Well, we weren't trying to listen through the door if that's what you were thinking.

Ginny looks at the ground at Hermione in shock.

Ginny: Oh my gosh! Hermione!

Harry: (sarcastically) Way-da-go, Ron.

Ginny: You killed her!

Ron: No, I didn't! She just fainted!

Harry: Let's take her to the hospital wing.

Ginny: Okay.

They gather around her to lift her up.

Scene changes.

Narrator: The next day, Hermione was sleeping in the hospital bed while Harry, Ron, and Ginny were all around her.

Hermione stirs in her sleep.

Hermione: Hmmm...Ron, don't stop...don't stop. Hermione like...Hermione like. Ah!

Hermione wakes up suddenly at the sight of her friends standing around her bed.

Ron: Don't stop what?

Hermione: Ah....nothing.

Awkward silence.

Ginny: Ah...Harry. We better go.

Ginny signals Harry to follow her.

Harry: Yeah, okay.

He follows her out of the room.

There is a silence again.

Hermione: Ron?

Ron: Yeah?

Hermione: Last night...did that happen?

Ron: You mean in the broom closet? Yeah, that happened.

Hermione: Oh, because I thought that was a dream.

Hermione smiles.

Ron: No, it wasn't a dream.

Ron smiles as well.

Hermione: And...?

Ron: And...What?

Hermione: What does it mean?

Ron: What do you want it to mean?

Narrator: Hermione paused. She was surprised how wise he was sounding. She didn't know why she was talking to him so easily after what happened last night. The day before, she didn't want to talk to him, but now she just wanted to pour her heart out. What did she want it to mean? Suddenly, she realized how long it had been since she said anything.

Hermione: Wow. I feel stupid asking all these questions and you are the one answering them.

Ron: Yeah...that is weird.

Hermione: Look, Ron. I'm going to be honest. I don't know what I want. I want us to be together, but I don't know if that's what you want.

Ron: I'll be honest, too. That's definitely what I want.

Hermione: So......We are together now?

Ron: I guess so.

They lean in for a kiss until Ginny comes in and interrupts.

Ginny: I'm not interrupting anything am I?

Ron: Yeah, kind of.

Ginny: Sorry.

Ginny turns to Hermione looking guilty.

Ginny: Hermione, you have visitors outside in the hall. A lot of visitors. And they're not happy.

Ginny looks frightened while Hermione has a questioning look on her face.

Narrator: Seeing that Madam Pomfrey wasn't there, Hermione got up and went to the door.

The scene changes to the other side of the door.

Narrator: Before her were half the population of girls in the school and they didn't look happy, just as Ginny said.

Parvati: So, you thought it would be fun to take all of our dates away from us?

Hermione looks confused.

Hermione: I didn't.

Lavender: Remember at the dance?

Hermione: But I...oh.

Hermione turns around to Ginny.

Hermione: You know that this is all your fault, right?

Ginny: Ah...yeah.

Ginny looks more guilty. Hermione looks angry.

Hermione: You are so dead.

Ginny: Come on, everyone makes mistakes. Can we just move on?

Hermione: I'll give you five seconds to run. One...

Ginny: But-

Hermione: Two

Ginny: Wait-

Hermione: Five!

Narrator: Ginny turns around a starts running in the other direction, screaming...

Ginny: Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

Narrator: ....yeah, that.

Hermione: Ginny, you are so dead when I'm through with you!

Hermione starts running after Ginny while the angry girls start running after Hermione. Chaos is caused in the hallways.

Ginny: Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

Hermione: You're gonna be so sorry you ever gave me that spray!

Angry mob of girls: Get her!

At the end of the hallway, Ginny runs past Harry.

Ginny: Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

Hermione stops and turns to Harry.

Hermione: Say good bye to your girlfriend, because she won't be here tomorrow or the day after that or the day after that or the day after that!

Hermione continues running.

Harry quickly moves out of the way of the angry mob of girls as they run past.

Professor McGonagall steps out of the door down the corridor.

Narrator: Professor McGonagall steps out of her office and suspects everything to be normal, until....

Ginny runs past her.

Ginny:Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

Hermione: You're gonna have to stop sometime!

Hermione runs past her too.

Angry mob of girls: Let's get out our flaming torches!

Narrator: They pull their flaming torches out of their pockets, and how they do that is beyond me.

They also run past her.

McGonagall looks confused.

McGonagall: I don't want to know.

McGonagall walks off the set to the right. The lights go out on the empty set.

Narrator: This concludes our story.

THE END!
