At Hermione's house
Christine
Of all the insidious jokes, turning your mother into a Comtesse, why
it's almost as absurd as a prince who spends his days with a servant
that sleeps with pigs
Hermione
What bothers you more stepmother, that I am common or that I am
competition?
Christine
Where is the dress Hermione?
Hermione
I don't know what you're talking about
Cho
The gown, the slippers, they were in my room this morning and no
they're gown, you hid them I know it
Christine
Where did you put the gown Danielle:
Hermione
Where are the candlesticks and the tapestry and the silver? Perhaps the
gown is with them
Christine
You'll produce that gown-
Hermione
I would rather die a thousand deaths than to see my mother's dress on
that spoiled selfish COW!
Christine
Well...perhaps we can arrange that.
Get in there, open this door and you'll wish you never set foot in this
house. Cho, Parvarti, gather everything that will fetch a
price, we are going to town first thing in the morning
Parvarti
Mother, it's only a ball
Christine
Yes and your only going for the food
At the afternoon at the prince's garden
Harry
Engaged? To a Belgian?
Lily
I'm afraid so
Harry
That's impossible, there has to be some mistake
Lily
She was traveling by boat this afternoon, the Baroness Christine was
quite reluctant to talk about it
Harry
It's no wonder with tidings such as these. If she was betrothen she
damn well should've had the decency to say something
Lily
Would you have listened?
Harry
Of course not, I would've-Oh God! How could I have been so blind? There
I was, pouring my royal heart out to her and she was simply trying to
bid me farewell
Lily
It is a strong woman who can keep her wits about her, with you trying
to steal her heart
Harry
Yes, and what a clumsy thief I turned out to be
Lily
Oh come now Henry, any choice is better than Spain
At night on the entrance of Prince's house
George
You must go to the prince, tell him what's happened
Ron
But I am nobody, the prince would never see me
George
You are her friend, Ron. She needs your help. The prince expects to
see her
Ron
I-I cannot; besides my master has me working tonight
George
Then go to da Vinci, surely a painter can see another painter
Ron
I am but an apprentice and he is the greatest painter in the world. I
George
For once in your life man be bold
Breaking into the ball:
Guard
This way sir, this way. May I see your invitation?
On the carriage…
Parvarti
I wanted to be the peacock
Christine
Honestly Parvarti, the horse is one of God's noblest creatures
Parvarti
Oh well why don't I just pull the carriage while I'm at it
Christine
If you think you'll get us there any faster
Prince's house
oops, wrong guy:
Ron
I'm looking for Signor da Vinci
Gentleman
Over there, with the beard
Ron
S-S..ahem, Signor da Vince
Dumbledore
Yes?
At Hermione's house
Paulette
Oh, oh, oh mistress it's no use
Dumbledore
Allow me
Louise
Oh brilliant. Why that was pure genius
Dumbledore
Yes, I shall go down in history as the man who opened a door
Hermione
Ron? How?
Ron
Well George said the prince was expecting you
Hermione
He is expecting someone who does not exist. Signore my name is Danielle
de Barbarac and I am but a servant
Dumbledore
Yes and I am the bastard son of a peasant, what's has that to do with
anything?
Hermione
I have deceived him
Dumbledore
The prince will understand
Paulette
Come child the night is young. We must get you ready for the ball
Danielle
I do not wish to go
Louise
If you stay, the Baroness wins
Danielle
How can I face him?
Dumbledore
Because he deserves to hear the truth from the one he loves
Hermione
A bird may love a fish Signore but where would they live?
Dumbledore
Then I shall have to make you wings
Paulette
Oh come on. No time to waste. Louise get the dress
At the prince's house…
James
I understand that you wanted to see me
Harry
Yes father I do
James
Listen...Henry perhaps it was unfair of me to put so much pressure on
you as I did. About the marriage contract. I just thought it was time
to make some changes in your life. You seemed to be a bit floundering
and uh...well I just wanted to say that this university thing...is a
brilliant idea. We don't have to announce anything tonight
Harry
I've made my decision
James
Oh
