(Scene cuts to a BROKEN DOWN HOUSE, with a sign that reads 'The Burrow' out in the front. HARRY and LUPIN are standing out in front)
HARRY:
(Sigh) I knew them really well...
LUPIN:
We all did, Harry. But we have to put the bitter past behind us. There's no chance that Ginny's alive, so we must find a look-alike and teach her all we know...ever since the Dark Order broke into Gringotts...everyone's poor...
HARRY:
I guess your right...
(The scene breaks away, into INSIDE THE HOUSE, where VIRGINIA is just now waking up from the night she spent in the 'Deserted House.' She begins to examine some of the things in the house, looking at them closely. Then, she breaks into song.)
VIRGINIA:
Dancing bears,
Painted wings
Things I almost remember
And a song someone sings
Once upon a December
Someone holds me safe and warm
Horses prance through a silver storm
Figures dancing gracefully
Across my memory...
(Dance number)
Someone holds me safe and warm
Horses prance through a silver storm
Figures dancing gracefully
Across my memory...
Far away, long ago
Glowing dim as an ember,
Things my heart used to know,
Things it yearns to remember...
And a song someone sings
Once upon a December...
(Right then, LUPIN and HARRY burst out of another room, with a photo album. They are not noticed by VIRGINIA.)
HARRY:
(Whispering) I don't even have to look at the picture! She's the one!
LUPIN:
Yes, I see it too. Even her Grandmama could be easily fooled.
(VIRGINIA whirls around, and looks at them both.)
VIRGINIA:
Oh, hello. Do you live here? I thought this house was deserted...see, I don't have any money...and I needed somewhere to sleep, so---
HARRY:
Say no more, doll face. We might have a job for you...
VIRGINIA:
Oh?
HARRY:
Yes. Have you ever heard of "Ginny Weasley'?
VIRGINIA:
Vaguely, sort of. She's the daughter of that rebellion family. I think I knew her...
HARRY:
That's even better! See, we have a proposition for you. You may be Ginny Weasley...
VIRGINIA:
What? That's impossible!
HARRY:
Not entirely...see, you look exactly like her. You could be her twin....and what's your name?
VIRGINIA:
My name's Virginia.
HARRY:
That was her full name! Well, you have no family, I take it, from the fact that your sleeping in here?
VIRGINIA:
That pretty much sums it up.
HARRY:
Well, how'd you like to have a family? If you are, indeed, Ginny Weasley...you have one existing relative.
VIRGINIA
(Grows hopeful) Who?
HARRY:
Your grandmama!
VIRGINIA:
Really?
LUPIN:
Yes! Think of it...a family reunion!
VIRGINIA:
What If I'm not this...Ginny Weasley?
HARRY:
Honest mistake, then.
VIRGINIA:
I'm not so sure....
HARRY:
Whatever you say...
(He begins to walk off.)
LUPIN:
(Whisper) What are you doing?
HARRY:
Wait for it...one, two...
VIRGINIA:
Wait! I'll come, I'll come!
HARRY:
Okay, so we got ourselves a deal!
VIRGINIA:
But if I'm not really Ginny---
HARRY:
Honest mistake
Virginia:
Okay. (They both shake hands, sealing the deal.)
NARRATOR: Here is where we must leave you, I am sorry to say! But fear not, Loyal Reader, for we shall come back soon!
