Before the lights go back up, some chanting is heard in the darkness of the stage. When the light comes on again the scenery has changed to a small village. Two lines of sixth years dressed as monks with the last one on the right side at back holding a banner, walk through the village. They are chanting "Pie Iesu domine, dona eis requiem." After this line they hit themselves over the head with a board. Again they chant, but pausing to hit themselves in the middle of the chant then again at the end. They did this several times. A crowd of villagers enter the scene yelling "A Witch! A Witch!" In the background you can hear the sixth years hitting their heads with the boards.
The villagers approach a podium where we see Hermione tying a coconut to a swallow's leg to see if it would carry it, and the villagers are still yelling "A Witch! A Witch! We've found a Witch!". Cedric speaks first to Hermione.
"We've found a Witch. May we burn her?" in the background the same seventh years as seen in scenes two and three, are yelling "Burn her! Burn! Burn her! Burn her!" Hermione asks them,
"How do you know she is a Witch?"
Lee Jordan answers with a simple, "She looks like one." The crowd cheers and yells in the background.
"Bring her forward." Hermione said as they push Susan Bones up onto the podium, all the time saying,
"I'm not a Witch. I'm not a Witch."
"But you are dressed as one." Hermione said looking at Susan.
"They dressed me up like this." She pointed to the crowd.
"Augh, we didn't! We didn't..." the crowd yelled.
"And this isn't my noise it's a false one." Susan protested, as Hermione pulled up the carrot to see the real nose underneath.
"Well?" Hermione said to the crowd.
"Well, we did do the nose." Cedric said rolling his eyes and moving his head to one side.
"The nose?" Hermione prompted.
"And the hat, but she is a Witch!" Cedric exclaimed.
"Yeah!" Lee Jordan said agreeing with Cedric.
The crowd starts to yell again, "We burn her! Right! Yeaaah! Yeaah!"
Hermione asked the crowd, "Did you dress her up like this?"
Cedric immediately answered, "No!" Lee Jordan and Nearly Headless Nick's voices follow, with the same "No. No." All three of them say No several times, when Cedric finally says "Yes." Lee also say's "Yes." And then they all say 'a bit' several times too.
Cedric spoke again, "She has got a wart." There are random coughs in the background as he points to the wart. Hermione asks the crowd,
"How do you know she is a Witch?" Nearly Headless Nick answers,
"Well, she turned me into a newt." Hermione looks at him puzzled.
"A Newt?" She asks.
"I got better." Nick said crossing his arms and looking down at his feet. Lee cries,
"Burn her anyway!" Cedric answers with a "Burn!" the crowd starts up again.
Hermione steps in, "Quiet! Quiet! Quiet! Quiet! There are ways of telling if she is a Witch." Cedric asks,
"Are there?" Lee is heard with a simple "Ah!" "What are they?" Cedric says as another question. The crowd starts to shout "Tell us! Tell Us!..."
"Tell me. What do you do with Witches?" Hermione asks them.
Cedric, Lee and the crowd start to cry " Burn! Burn Them!"
"And what do you burn apart from Witches?"
"More Witches!" Cedric yells and Nick elbows him in the arm, "Shh!" There is pause as the villagers think. Finally Lee answers "Wood!" Oliver Wood, sitting in the background, not paying attention to the scene, looks up when his name is called. "What about me?" A seventh year shushes him.
"So, why do Witches burn?" There is another pause. Nick answers by saying, "B--... 'cause they're made of... wood?"
"Good! Heh, heh." Hermione says as the villagers quietly exclaim, "Oh, yeah. Oh." Hermione asks them another question,
"So, how do we tell whether she is made of wood?" Cedric automatically shouts,
"Build a bridge out of her."
"Ah, but can you not also build bridges out of stone?"
"Oh yeah." Cedric looks down as we hear the random " Oh, yeah. True. Uhh..."
"Does wood sink in water?"
"No. No." Cedric said shaking his head.
"No, it floats! It floats!" Lee observes.
"Throw her into the pond!" Cedric suggests. The crowd agrees and tries to take her off of the podium. Hermione stops them.
"What also floats in water?"
"Bread!"
"Apples!"
"Uh, very small rocks!"
"Cider!"
"Uh, gra-gravy!"
"Cherries!"
"Mud"
"Churches! Churches!"
"Lead! Lead!"
"A duck!" Harry's voice sounds over the crowd. There was a collective "Oooh!"
"Exactly! So Logically..." Hermione urges them.
"If... she... weighs... the same as a duck,... she's made of wood." said Cedric.
"And therefore?" a pause then...
"A Witch!"
"Here is a duck. Use this duck." There is quacking in the background as a random extra holds up a duck.
"We shall use my largest scales." Hermione hopped off the podium and Susan was dragged to the scales. Random "Burn the Witch! Burn her!" sounds in the background. Hermione steps onto the platform as they placed Susan and the duck on the scales.
"Right. Remove the supports!" some sound affects are heard. The crowd yells after the scales are balanced. "A Witch! A Witch! A Witch!"
"It's a fair cop." Susan mutters to herself as they drag her away. Harry approaches Hermione, who asks Harry,
"Who are you who are so wise in the ways of science?"
"I am Harry, King of the Britons." He answers. As she kneeled she says,
"My liege!"
"Good Sir Knight, will you come with me to Hogwarts and join us at the round table?"
"My liege! I would be honored."
"What is your name?"
"'Hermione' my liege!"
"Then I dub you 'Sir Hermione, Knight of the Round Table.'"
