Disclaimer: This is really getting tiring, but oh well. The characters
belong to J.K. Rowling and Charles Dickens. Mr. Dickens also owns the
story this is based on. The idea and actual story are mine.
1 Act IV: The Ghost of Christmas Future
Dobby: Scrooge is trying to sleep, but is having nightmares involving red- haired gluttons.
Scrooge: * thrashing around in his sleep * No, let me out! I don't want to drown in slobber! Somebody save me!
Dobby: As Dobby is saying, Scrooge is having trouble sleeping. Suddenly, he is hearing sound like rat getting squished by young miser in bunny pajamas. He is finding he is almost right. It is Spirit that can change into rat. Also, it is not nice looking Spirit like other two.
* Author pops up suddenly *
Author: Dobby, it's okay to say the u-word.
Dobby: Alright. The Spirit is just plain UGLY!!!!
Peter Pettigrew: D, don't yell, it scares me!
Scrooge: Uh, why is there a small, ugly, wimpy git sitting on my bed?
Peter Pettigrew: H, hello. I, I'm the G, Ghost of Christmas Future. Please don't hurt me.
Scrooge: Um, aren't you supposed to be scary?
Peter Pettigrew: Well, um, to tell the truth, I'm the only one the author could find and that's why I got the job. I'm not scary at all, and they won't let me come to the Christmas party. * breaks down and starts bawling *
* Author appears, yet again. *
Author: Could somebody please get him out of here?! Now what am I supposed to do?! My Ghost of Christmas Future just had a nervous breakdown! Who am I going to get to fill in?! Now I'm going to have a nervous breakdown!!
1.1 * Author plops herself down at Scrooge's desk and starts crying. *
Scrooge: Can somebody please find a replacement before the author gets hysterical?!!
Dobby: It is all right, nice author lady. Dobby will go find new Spirits for you. * he leaves*
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
The suspense is killing you, right? Who will save the day? Will the author become hysterical and have to be taken to St. Mungo's? Let's find out!
* The author is still crying when Dobby returns with, not one, but two replacements. One walks up and taps the author on the shoulder. *
Author: * turning around * Oh, uh, hi! What're you two doing here?
Sirius: We, um, well, we decided to come replace Peter for you.
Remus: Just don't make us be scary. I don't like being scary. It's not fun.
Author: * stops crying, finally * Thanks you so much!!! * she runs over and hugs them both. They look extremely bewildered. * You two don't have to be scary or anything. Just show Scrooge what he needs to see, then you can go to the Christmas party with me.
Sirius and Remus: * with enthusiasm * Ok!!!
Author: Oh yeah, everybody else in this can come too, except for Peter.
Sirius and Remus: * quietly * We get to go to the party with the author. We get to go with the author.
Author: Ok, you two had better start now, otherwise you won't finish before the party starts.
Sirius and Remus: Ok!!
Scrooge: Ok, let's get going. I need to get back here and change before the party.
Remus: Um, we're sorry, but you have to going in your pajamas. * they start laughing *
Scrooge: Why do I have to go in my pajamas?!
Sirius and Remus: We're not telling!
Author: See you all later, I have to go change.
* Sirius, Remus, and Scrooge leave after the author. *
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
Dobby: Replacements for the Ghost of Christmas Future and Scrooge is now outside the Cratchit's house. They is now going in.
* The house has changed and is even shabbier than the last time Scrooge saw it. There is an air of sadness and none of the usual holiday cheer in the house. The eyes of Sirius and Remus grow sad as they turn to address Scrooge. *
Sirius: Look and see who is not there. If they speak, which I doubt they will, make sure to listen.
* Scrooge looks around the room carefully and realization dawns on him. *
Scrooge: Cratchit and his little son, Tiny Tim, aren't here. Where are they?
Remus: * his voice full of sadness * They're in Azkaban.
Scrooge: Why?
Sirius: * in a flat voice * They came to your house the night before this and, well, murdered you. * he shudders * It was awful.
Remus: It took them forever to gather all the pieces of your body.
Scrooge: * shudders * All this because they couldn't afford help because of me.
Sirius: Time to leave now. Remember what you have seen and try to learn from it.
* They vanish and the scene fades. *
