At long last, we return! And only three chapters left, and then we're done! Now, this chapter is a bit….different from our usual format, because we just couldn't think of a song to fit this particular scene, and it was too important to leave out. You'll be pleased to know, however, that the final two chapters have been written, and will be updated next Saturday, and then the Thursday after that, before we leave to go on Holiday.
Dedicated to – Phil Something, who is always the Dame in the pantomimes at Theatre Clwyd, and who was in a scene very similar to this one last year, and did it hysterically. And to anyone who has ever done as Emma has, and run in slow motion down the school drive…
Lights up. The mirror is centre stage, with Harry in front of it. Voldemort/Quirrell is standing to the left, watching him intently. Harry suddenly puts his hand to his pocket, before being pushed aside by Voldemort/Quirrell. "Chariots of Fire" starts up in the background.
Harry turns and begins to run in slow motion across the stage, taking exaggerated looks behind him. Quirrell begins to chase after him, while a voice on the surround sound is heard, also slowed down.
"Caaaaaaaaaaatch the boooooooooooy….."
Quirrell leaps, and lands on top of Harry. The pair roll about, still in slow motion, Quirrell screaming over the music. Dumbledore suddenly appears centre stage back, looking furious. As the main theme of "Chariots of Fire" starts up again, he lets out a roar of anger – an elongated "NNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!", and flies across the chamber to the pair.
Blackout.
There we go. Short, sweet, and to the point...sort of. Apologises for the absence, the next two will definatly be out on time.
Next week...Harry learns about the glory of love...
