Half Blood Prince The Musical

Scene 7: Hogwarts Express

(Enter Harry, Luna, and Neville in one of the train's compartments. They deposit their trunks in the luggage rack. Luna is wearing her psychedelic glasses.)

Neville: They're even staring at us, because we're with you!

Harry: I think Luna's glasses have to take some of the credit.

Luna: Don't hate the glasses, Harry.

(Enter Romilda Vane.)

Romilda: Hi Harry. Why don't you join us in our compartment? You don't have to sit with them.

Harry: They're friends of mine.

Romilda: Oh ...oh, OK.

(Exit Romilda Vane.)

Luna: People expect you to have cooler friends than us.

Harry: People expect me to be straight as well, but I can't be blamed for their stupidity.

Neville: So you've finally come out?

Harry: You knew? For how long?

Neville: Ages.

Luna: We had a bet going on how long it would take you.

Harry: You knew as well?

Luna: Harry, Wrackspurts may be invisible but your preference for men is not.

Harry: Oh.

(Enter Ron and Hermione.)

Ron: Hey Harry. Guess what? Malfoy's not doing Prefect duty.

Harry: Really? I wonder what he's up to ...

Ron: Harry, you look a little too interested if you ask me. What is it you see in Malfoy?

Hermione: We can't help who we're attracted to, Ron. Believe me. All the same, Harry, I don't see it either.

Harry: I can't really explain it ...he's just so ...well, he's Draco!

(Harry stands as the music starts. The walls of the compartment move back to make room for all the blonde, slick haired dancing boys that have just walked on stage. Neville and Luna step back to lead the back-up singers. Disco lights flash all over the stage.)

(Song ends. Applause, applause etc blah bloody blah. Enter little third year girl who is not important enough for a name of her own.)

Little girl: (Singing in a high voice and making the best of her miniscule part.) I'm supposed to deliver these to Neville Longbottom and Harry P-o-o-tt-er-r!

Harry: All right, all right. Milk it for all it's worth, why don't you?

(Little girl bows and leaves.)

Neville: What does Professor Slughorn want me for?

Harry: No idea ...let's go under the Invisibility Cloak, then we might get a good look at Malfoy on the way ...preferably while he's in a state of mid-dress.

(Harry and Neville exit, Neville giving the others a pleading look before they exit fully.)
