Act IV Scene I
Neville's cell
(Ron leaves)
Herm: Neville, shut the door and grieve with me.
Neville: I am aware, Hermione. You must marry Ronald Weasley.
Herm: Don't remind me unless you can help. If you can't I will die where I will be reunited with my love.
Neville: In fact, I might be able to help you. You speak of death as if you will kill yourself. You don't have to go quite that far, but you must pretend to be dead to escape it. If yo wish, I'll give you the potion.
Herm: I'd rather die than marry Ron! I'd rather be presented with Fluffy again than to accept an unwanted marriage. I accept your offer.
Neville: Here's the plan: Go back to Hogwarts in a happy manner and agree to marry Ron. Tomorrow night, without Madame Pomfrey, lie alone in the chamber. Take this simple sleeping draught and drink it. You will fall asleep, become cold, and lack a pulse. No warmth or breath will suggest life, therefore faking your death. So when Thursday comes, you will appear to be dead and will be take to the place of your dead kinsmen. During this procedure, you will awake and Malfoy will come by my letter and will be free from his banishment.
Herm: I will disregard fear. Give me the potion!
Neville: Alright, I'll send another student with letters to alert your love.
Herm: Thankyou very much, Neville. Goodbye!
