28d -- INT. GROUND FLOOR--THE STUDY -- 28d
The study.
Mrs. Pansy opens her luggage.
Pansy: Who can guess what's in here, eh?
Dean: The evidence against us, no doubt.
Mrs. Pansy chuckles.
She starts handing out boxes, each with a different size and shape.
Harry: We didn't know we were meeting you tonight. Did you know you were meeting us?
Pansy: Oh, yes.
Dean: What were you told, precisely?
Pansy: Merely that you were all meeting to discuss our little . . . financial arrangements. And if I did not appear, Sirius would be informing the police about it all. Naturally I could hardly resist putting in an appearance.
She finishes handing out the packages.
Pansy: (elbowing her way to the door) 'Scuse me. (eyeing the packages) Open 'em.
Harry: Why not? I enjoy getting presents from strange people.
Harry opens his package.
A candlestick.
Harry: A candlestick? What's this for?
Dean opens his box and reveals a rope-tied in a noose.
Ron takes his box in one hand. He opens it and lets
the contents fall into his other hand.
A heavy lead pipe.
Seamus opens his box and pulls out . . . a heavy wrench
(spanner).
Draco takes the lid off his package and looks in.
He gingerly pulls out a revolver.
Finally, the camera reveals Parvati, who is twirling . . . a dagger.
Pansy (Off Stage): In your hands, you each have a lethal weapon.
Pansy walks on camera and continues.
Pansy: If you denounce me to the police, you will also be exposed and humiliated. I'll see to that in court. (pauses) But . . . if one of you kills Sirius, now . . .
Sirius's eyes widen in shock.
Pansy: . . . no one but the seven of us will ever know. He has the key to the front door, which he said would only be opened over his dead body. I suggest we take him up on that offer.
Pansy goes over to the light switch with deliberate ease.
She closes the door to the hall and sets her drink down.
Pansy: The only way to avoid finding yourselves on the front pages is for
one of you to kill Sirius. Now.
She turns off the lights.
We hear noises.
Someone inhales raspily.
A gunshot.
Something ceramic shatters.
A scream.
The lights go up.
Parvati, who turned on the light, drops the dagger in shock.
The camera reveals Pansy lying prone on the floor.
Seamus: It's not Sirius!
The guests talk to each other.
Draco: Stand back! Give her air! (kneels next to Pansy) Let me see. (checks Pansy for signs of life) She's dead!
Dean: Who had the gun?
Draco: I did.
Parvati: Then you shot her!
Draco: I didn't!
Parvati: Well, you had the gun. If you didn't shoot her, who did?
Pansy is turned over.
Draco: Nobody! Look, there's no gunshot wound. Somebody tried to grab the gun from me in the dark and the gun went off. Look! The bullet broke that vase on the mantel!
Everyone rushes for the mantel simultaneously, causing confusion.
Seamus: He's absolutely right. Look, there's a bullet hole here in the wall.See that?
Ron grabs Prof. Draco by the lapels.
Ron: How did she die?
Draco: I don't know! (shoves him away) I'm not a forensic expert.
Dean: Well, one of us must have killed him!
Ron: Well, I didn't do it.
Parvati: Oh, I need a drink!
She goes to the door and gets Pansy's cognac.
She sips.
Draco: (alarmed) Maybe she was poisoned!
Parvati drops the glass in revulsion and starts to scream.
She won't stop.
Ron takes her to a sofa, offering words of comfort.
She sits, but won't stop screaming.
Ron slaps her.
Ron: I . . . I had to stop her from screaming . . .
Draco: (to Ron) Was the brandy poisoned?
Ron: I don't know.
Harry: (picks up the glass. All the cognac has spilled out) Looks like we'll never know.
Ron: Unless . . . unless she dies, too.
They all rush over to scrutinize Parvati.
A scream erupts from another room!
The guests gasp.
They run from the study into the hall.
