Scene 9:


**Harry prepares to enter the 'Chamber of Secrets'**


I AM GRYIFFINDOR (Sung to the tune of 'I Have Confidence')



What will this beast be like?

I wonder

How will I face him down?

I wonder



It should be so exciting

To be always the hero, the key

I wish I could feel really brave now

Oh, what's the matter with me?




I've never longed for adventure

Just wanted love, a Mum and Dad

Why must I be in every adventure?

And, why am I so sad?





A Chamber that holds a Secret

What's so fearsome about that?

Oh, I must keep my wits quite about me

If I don't, this could really turn bad

I must think of the girl I am saving

It's for Ginny; I'll never turn back




Headmaster, please help me out now

And I hope that you'll be proud now

Show you I'm worthy

And while I show you

I"ll show me




So, let the Heir just try and stop me

I will beat him at his game

I'm a Gryffindor, it's more than just a name

I know I can win, I am Gryffindor within!



Somehow I will defeat him

I will be brave and fine

And I'll get Ginny (Yes, I will Ron)

We will escape from here



And mind me, with each spell I am more certain

Dumbledore will help me out

I am Gryffindor, and let there be no doubt

You'll have to agree, there is Gryffindor in me



I'm a Gryffindor in spirit

I'm a Gryffindor in soul

I'm a Gryffindor, success will be my goal

And so you see, I am Gryffindor indeed




Gryffindors never shirk now

Gryffindors never stop

Gryffindors always go to work now

When there's a task-We hop!





I tell you, I am ready for the Heir now

I am ready for that beast

I'm a Gryffindor and Godric surely knows


**Stops, seeing Ginny lying deadly still on the floor of the chamber**


(Oh, help!)


**Steals himself to continue**


I'm a Gryffindor, and Godric surely knows

And you will see, there is Gryffindor in me!






**Within the 'Chamber of Secrets', Harry meets Tom Riddle, who explains who he is**

SOMETHING BAD (Sung to the tune of 'Something Good')


(Riddle)
You see I had a wretched childhood

In fact I had a horrible youth

But something in my wretched, horrible past

Prepared me for my moment of truth



And here you are, standing there, oh so brave

Just like I knew you would

You'd never turn down such a chance now

You always do something good





Nothing comes from goodness

Goodness knows, that's sad

And one day in my youth or childhood

I knew I could be something bad




(Harry)
I also had a wretched childhood

An orphan, all alone, like you

But somehow I managed to stay good

(Riddle)
And why do you think that's true?



(Harry)
And why are you standing there, hating me?

As if you know me, too


(Riddle)
Oh, Harry, I think you would know now

Someday I will be "You-know-who!"



(Riddle and Harry)
We are always meeting

And it's oh, so sad



(Riddle)
Harry, I think that you-

(Harry)
Will die now?

(Riddle)
It's time to do something……

(Riddle and Harry)
Something bad
