Chapter Three- London
Snape's student aid is dialing a number for him.
STUDENT AID: This is the Granger's home.
She hands the phone to Snape.
STUDENT AID: Watch your mouth this time.
Snape glares at her.
SNAPE: Ron Weasley's behind this. There's no doubt in my mind. That's what I was saying this morning. Why he has to be stopped. He's got Hermione Granger involved in this thing now. See?
The student aid nods.
STUDENT AID: And her grandmother, too.
AN ANSWERING MACHING
It clicks on. We hear a grieved woman's voice. It sounds an awful lot like Hermione.
HERMIONE: We can't come to the phone right now. We've had a death in the family. If you need to reach us we'll be at the following number...
Snape quickly takes down a number.
HARRY'S HOUSE
His answering machine clicks on. We hear Harry's voice.
HARRY'S VOICE: You have reached the Coughlin Bros. Mortuary. We are unable to come to the phone right now but if you'll leave your name and number...
Snape hangs up the phone.
SNAPE: Something's going on, goddamn it. Any I'm going to stop it.
Ginny's walking down the hall. She's stopped by a KID with a butter beer bottle.
KID: Yo. We're collecting money to buy Ron Weasley a new kidney.
Ginny stares at him. She's flabbergasted at the proportions her brother's scam has reached.
KID: They run about 1000 galleons so it you could help out...
GINNY: Go piss up a flagpole!
KID: Huh?
She knocks the bottle out of his hands and storms down the hall. The kid yells after her.
KID: Hey, babe! Some day you might need a favor from Ron Weasley! Then where'll you be?!
He reaches for the bottle.
KID: Heartless wench...
A London Parking Garage
The Ferrari pulls into a large parking garage.
Ron, Hermione and Harry get out. Harry's having fits.
HARRY: We can't leave the car here!
RON: Why not?
HARRY: Because we can't! I want it back home where it belongs!
HERMIONE: What could happen to it?
HARRY: It could get stolen, wrecked, scratched, breathed on wrong you name it.
RON: I'll give the guy a galleon to watch it.
HARRY: What guy?
PARKING ATTENDANT
He smiles with relish at the car. 6'6", 240. An IQ that equals his hourly wage. Shoulder-length hair stuffed into a hairnet Gold teeth. Earring. Goatee.
The Attendant swaggers over to the car. Ron slips him a galleon
RON: You speak English?
ATTENDANT: What country do you think this is?
RON: Great. I want to you take extra special care of this vehicle, okay?
He pats the Attendant on the arm. He smiles.
The Attendant very gingerly gets into the car. Ron turns to Harry. The Ferrari pulls into the lot very slowly, very carefully. No squealing tires, no revving engine.
RON: See what a little gold can do to a person's attitude?
Ron nudges Harry on. They exit the garage. A long beat and the Ferrari creeps down the
exit ramp of the garage. It's gone in the entrance and out the exit. Another attendant
jumps in the passenger side. He's skinny, tall, with a huge knit hat willed with dreads.
He lets out a spirited laugh and the Ferrari peels out of the lot. It heads down the street
away from Hermione, Ron and Harry.
Molly's car pulls in the driveway. She gets out and heads up the house.
RON'S ROOM
It's dark. There's a figure in the bed. We hear soft snoring. A wire runs from under the bed covers to the closet door to the door to the room itself.
The wire is tied to the doorknob. It's taut. Downstairs, we hear a door open and close.
Molly quietly walks up the stairs.
Molly comes up the stairs and crosses to Ron' room. She listens at the door. WE HEAR THE SNORING.
Molly slowly turns the doorknob and pushes the door open a crack.
The door opens and the figure-like lump in the bed moves.
She smiles and closes the door.
The closet door is open. The wire from the bedroom door is strung over the top of the closet door. A trophy is attached to the end of the wire and it's resting on a yard stick. As the bedroom door closes, the trophy lifts up off the yardstick and the lump in the bed goes back down to it's original position.
Little LED's are lighting up to the rhythm of the snoring. The snoring it simulated.
Molly listens at the door another beat. She's smiles with relief and affection.
THE LONDON EYE
HELICOPTER SHOT moves in on the observation wheel. As it passes we see three figures pressed against the windows.
RON: This is the world's largest observation wheel. From our vantage point here 103 meters high, we are provided with a view of three of the world's most famous sights.
HARRY: Do you think the car's all right?
RON: St. Paul's, the Palace of Westminster, and my personal favorite Windsor Castle.[1]
London eye pod:
Ron, Harry and Hermione are standing against the window.
HARRY: I don't feel good, Ron. Are we gonna stay long?
RON: Take a step back...
Ron steps back. Hermione and Harry follow suit.
RON: Now, lean against the glass. Like this...
He leans forward, putting all his weight on his forehead.
RON: And look down.
Hermione leans forward. Harry follows, reluctantly.
Harry's looking down.
HARRY: I think I see my Uncle.
London Exchange Trading Room.
Traders are frantically buying and selling commodities. Ron, Harry and Hermione are sitting in the gallery watching the proceedings.
RON: Would you want to get married? I mean if I wasn't an asshole.
HERMIONE: Sure.
RON: (serious) Today?
Hermione stares at him. Is he serious?
RON: I'm game.
HERMIONE: No way!
HERMIONE: I'm not getting married.
HARRY: I'm with you, babe.
RON: Why not?
HERMIONE: What do you mean, why not? Think about it.
RON: Besides being too young and your father hating my guts and not having any place to live and feeling awkward about being the only prefect with a husband, give me a good reason why not.
HARRY: I'll give you two. My mother and father.
Ron and Hermione look at him curiously.
HARRY: They were married and then they were killed, my mother only because she was married.
RON: But Voldemort was after your parents...and you, he isn't after me and Hermione.
HARRY: And if you have any children he will want to kill the child of the two most powerful friend's of Harry Potter's..
There was an awkward silence.
[1] I got all my information about the London eye from www.londoneye.com. Also some of it is from when I visited England a couple summers ago and went up on it..I thought it was a good replacement for the Sears Tower in Chicago.
AN- Im sorry it took so long.hmm only one review last chapter..please change that I
want at least five before the next post...thank you to the one person who did review however.
Another AN- The only script I could find for the movie has a bunch of extra scenes that
got deleted from the movie.I'm trying to make sure that they don't get in here. Also,
I'm guessing there was a lot of add lipping in the movie because some of the things are
not in the script and as many times as I have seen the movie and cannot remember them all...
