Scene 2
Narrator: The next morning, Harry and Ron show up for work and are surprised.
Mr. Stevens: What happened to all of the animals? Blaise, Pansy and Draco said that you two were the only ones here when they left yesterday, and this morning all of the animals are missing except for Skippy! I had Cho, (proudly) my new assistant, trying to find out where you two went!
(Harry and Ron look at one another, shocked).
Ron: We don't know where all of the animals are, sir. When we left yesterday, they were all playing hide-and-go-seek
Cho: (calling to Mr. Stevens) you'd better come here, sir.
(Harry, Ron and Mr. Stevens run to Cho, who is standing next to a radio, which is switched to the Wizarding Wireless Network).
Radio Broadcaster: Shocking news today! It appears that every last animal on the face of the planet has disappeared! Nobody seems to have any clue who is behind such a heinous act and why, but the planet will have to become vegetarian, tonight at ten.
Mr. Stevens: My God... (Long pause) I'm rich!
Cho: How, sir?
Mr. Stevens: I've got the only animal left on Earth! Do you realize what this means? We're going to have LOADS of visitors! We'll be rich!
(Mr. Stevens walks off smiling and Cho follows, frowning slightly).
Harry: (to Ron) somehow, our wish came true.
Ron: This is great! No more animal poop!
(Cho walks back over to Harry and Ron).
Cho: (Carefully avoiding speaking to Harry) Mr. Stevens is in a good mood today. He says you two can have the rest of the day off. (Walks off to the radio).
Harry and Ron: (simultaneously) awesome!
(Harry and Ron walk off, happily).
Narrator: The happiness was short-lived however, and the next day, Harry and Ron would learn a lesson that would stay with them for the rest of their lives.
