Scene 7

Setting: The next day

Summary: Sphynx does another attempt to make Elise understand.

(Sphynx wakes up to Jacob getting his clothes on)

Jacob - (turns to Sphynx with a look of surprise/concern/friendliness/like he's scored on his face) Oh Sphynx, you're up!

Sphynx - Yeah, I'm up...

Jacob - Hey man, I'm sure she'll come around.

Sphynx - If she's anything like my sister, then no, she won't.

Jacob - Do you want me to talk to her for you?

Sphynx - No, I'll do it, thanks though.

Jacob - Yeah man, any time.

(Sphynx goes down to the common room still in his pj's, he spots Elise and approaches her)

Sphynx - Elise, can we talk, alone?

Elise - (Half added; not caring) I guess...

(They didn't talk until they got to the Room of Requirement)

Elise - (coldly) So we're here. Now what?

Sphynx - I want to meet you tonight at eight, just because it is my favorite time.

Elise - What if I don't come? (Sphynx could hear Anthony saying "Ohhh! Shot

down" in his head after that note)

Sphynx - Well, you don't have to.

Elise - Well where are we going to meet?

Sphynx - Anywhere with a bed...

Elise - What?

Sphynx - Get your head out of the gutter! (Yours too! lol)

Elise - Well, we can meet here again.

Sphynx - But there's not a---(At that moment, Elise magically conjured up a bed.)

---Nevermind...

Sphynx - You know you're too smart for your own good, don't you!

Elise - Just shut up and kiss me.

Sphynx - So am I forgiven?

Elise - No, but I miss kissing you.

(Elise grabs Sphynx and starts making out with him.)

Sphynx - (Pulls away) Are you sure no one knows about this place?

Elise - I'm sure! Why?

Sphynx - Well, every time I come in here, I have a feeling someone's watching us...

Elise - Don't worry about it, ok? (She grabs him again and starts to kiss him again.)

(Elise hears a snicker, Sphynx jerks away, aparently he heard it too)

Elise - I heard it, someone is here!

Moaning Myrtle - It's just me, I'm so very alone.

Elise - Well you don't have to be alone.

Moaning Myrtle - why do you think that?

Elise - Well there's Peeves isn't there?

Moaning Myrtle - Well, I've always fancied Peeves...

Elise - You go for it girl, and tell me how it goes.

Moaning Myrtle - When can I tell you, tonight at eight?

Elise - No, I would rather appreciate it if you could let that time be for us.

Myrtle - Can do!

Sphynx - Who was that?

Elise - Moaning Myrtle, she stalks the bathrooms to find friends.

Sphynx - That's interesting, so you're taking a leak (urinating) and you hear, (mocking) 'will you be my friend?'

Elise - She's not like that!

Sphynx - (laughs) Yeah, I didn't figure she was scary...

(They eventually leave but all day Sphynx was excited about how he and Elise had made up)

Jacob - Do you want to talk now?

Sphynx - The only thing I have to say is, we are cool now, and I'm going to meet

her at eight tonight.

Jacob - Why tonight at eight?

Sphynx - Because that's my favorite time.

Jacob - That's interesting.

Sphynx - Oh shut up! (Smiling) so how did everything go with that Ravenclaw girl?

Jacob - Oh, good, she wanted to know my inner-most thoughts.

Sphynx - Oh, what did you tell her?

Jacob - I told her the truth.

Sphynx - And that would be?

Jacob - Well you would want to know now wouldn't you!

Sphynx - (Smiles) You loser!

Jacob - But atleast I have lady skills.

Sphynx - If you say so!

Jacob - Come on man, you know I have skills!

Sphynx - Yeah, you do.

(Before too long, it was 7:50 and Sphynx knew that he would be late, if he changed clothes, so he went in his pj's; he arrived at the Room of Requirement and to his relief, Elise hadn't arrived yet, three minutes later she arrived in her pj's as well)

Sphynx - Are you ready?

Elise - Sure, let's go.

(They enter the room and it's still only luminated with the light of the moon and billions and billions of stars, and in the middle of the room, there's still the bed. Sphynx leads Elise to the bed and Elise lays on it; He lays next to her and he begins to caress her body, his heart is racing.

Sphynx - Elise---

Elise - No, Sphynx, I don't want you to do anything you're going to regret.

Sphynx - What in the bloody hell are you talking about, Elise?

Elise - I've pressuerd you to do this, and I'm sorry, but I'm not ready.

Sphynx - Elise, you are going to have to explain what you're talking about,

sweetheart.

Elise - you were going to ask me to marry you!

Sphynx - (Sitting bolt upright,with a look of pure shock on his face) What the hell!

Elise - I'm sorry, but I'm not ready.

Sphynx - (Still the same look) I wasn't planning to ask you to marry me.

Elise - You wern't?

Sphynx - NO!

Elise - I feel so stupid! I'm mortified!

Sphynx - Well don't be, you stood up for yourself, even though I was only going

to tell yo about my deepest feelings for you.

Elise - Well you can continue, if you want.

(They lie back down; Sphynx is laying on his side and Elise is laying beside of him and he is cuddling her)

Sphynx - I love you.

Elise - I love you too.

Sphynx - I don't know what I'd do without you.

Elise - What do you mean?

Sphynx - Well, I wouldn't have anyone else to hold in my arms.

Elise - I guess so.

Sphynx - I'm ready to be with you,

Elise - What?

Sphynx - I want you.

Elise - Sphynx, are you sure?

Sphynx - I'm absolutely sure.

(They just lay there and cuddle till they fall asleep)
