Act V Scene I

Slytherin Common Room

Draco: What an odd dream I had! That my love awoke and found me dead. Her kiss revived my cold body and I became Quidditch Captain. Odd things love will do to you.

Enter Dobby

News, Dobby? Letters from Neville? How is Hermione?

Dobby: Hermione is….is…No! Dobby can't do it, sir!

Draco: What? Out with it!

Dobby: Alright, sir…Hermione is dead.

Draco: Curse my dream! I will go to her tonight.

Dobby: Bad Dobby! Bad (Hits self with wine bottle and slams head in drawer)!

Bad, bad Dobby! Sirs, be patient. You are sad!

Draco: Leave me alone. Go now.

Dobby exits

I will lie with Hermione tonight, somehow…Wait, I do remember an apothecary who lives near the Forbidden Forest. Who sought food for comfort to fill the many voids in his heart. Hagrid?

Enter Hagrid

Come. It is obvious you are poor. Take five shillings from em for a poison that results in sudden death.

Hagrid: I have the poison, but keep it quiet. Won it at a poker game with a couple 'a shady characters. (pauses) Ayuw, I shouldn't have said that…

Draco: Fine. I will say nothing, just give me the poison. For tonight I will use it by Hermione's grave.
