A play about Hermione Granger
Scene 1 A Secret Letter
In the Gryffindor tower, girls dormitory. The time is 2-3am. Hermione is sleeping.
(Winky approaches Hermione) W: Miss Granger, Miss Granger, wake up! (prods Hermione)
HG: (sleepily) What? Who is it?
W: It is Winky, Miss Granger.
HG: (sits up suddenly, awake) Winky? What is it? Is something wrong? Is everyone ok?
W: Yes Miss Granger, although Colin Creevey fell into a vanishing step today. Madame Pomfrey says he should be alright by morning though. But that is not why I is sent here. Winky has a letter for you, Miss.
HG: From who? And why now?
W: Winky cannot say, miss, but it was to be delivered when no one else would see. (Gives Hermione the letter)
HG: (opens the letter and reads aloud) "Please meet me in the fourth floor corridor at 10:15 tomorrow morning alone. I promise I mean no harm to you. Send reply with house elf. (signed) Your Admirer" (Hermione appears confused and thoughtful) I wonder...
W: What is your reply, miss?
HG: Are you sure you can't say who sent it?
W: Very sure, miss.
HG: Very well then, I guess I'll go. It's probably just Padma wanting to ask me homework questions without Parvati finding out. But why couldn't she just say so? Why such secrecy? And why sign it "your admirer"? (snaps back to reality) Anyway, thank you for delivering the letter, Winky. Go get some rest now. You deserve it just as well as the next person, man, woman, or house elf. That's the whole point of S.P.E.W. after all, to treat you as equals.
W: Thank you miss, I'll go deliver your answer now. (Winky scurries off, Hermione lays back down to go back to sleep)
