You Only See What Your Eyes Want To See
TIB: Yeah, I know already.
Dumby: You. . . .you know? Who told you?
TIB: You.
Dumby: I. . . .I told you?
TIB: Yeah! You're my father.
Dumby: Oh, no, not. . . .I mean. . . .You were always a complicated child, weren't you?
TIB: Who else would know but me?
Dumby: There is another thing you have to know about your life.
TIB: You're not my father?
Dumby: Ivy, sit down and let me explain.
TIB: I can't see a chair.
Dumby: Oh, right.
Waves his wand. A chair appears.
TIB: All this trouble just for me? Awww. I still think I prefer to stand.
Dumby: You better sit.
TIB: Fine. Sitting. Happy?
Dumby: Thrilled.
TIB: Now, what do you want?
Dumby: Oh, right. Well, first of all you have to know that this is something that isn't easy to tell.
TIB: Yeah. (Doing 'Get-on- with- it' wave.)
Dumby: Well. . . . Well. . . .Well. . . .
TIB: Well?
Dumby: Well. Things are well.
TIB: So why I'm here?
Dumby: Because they aren't.
TIB: That's comforting. I think.
Dumby: Do you remember the last time we met?
TIB: How could I ever forget.
Dumby: You remember what you told me?
TIB: Which part?
Dumby: The end.
TIB: Oh, that. That I joined Voldemort.
Dumby: Yes. And that you have no problem with killing.
TIB: True.
Dumby: Then. . . .You are on the wrong side.
TIB: Huh?
Dumby: My theory of life is not what was presented to you by everyone.
TIB: So what is it?
Dumby: My purpose is not to save lives. It's to take them. (Smiles evilly)
(Evil giggle from us.)
TIB: So. . . what are you saying?
Dumby: Do you remember the Prewetts?
TIB: The ones that my love killed? Yeah, what about them?
Dumby: Your "love" didn't kill them. I DID.
TIB: Is that an April first joke or something?
Dumby: No. This is the reality. The truth nobody dared to tell you before.
TIB: And. . . . You just were nice and told me that. Why?
(Dramatic music)
Dumby: Because you swore you were on my side.
TIB: (Total shook)You are lying!! I have sworn I'm loyal to Voldemort!!
Dumby shows her his arm. There is a sign in his flesh. THE SIGN.
TIB: No! This is impossible!!!!
Dumby: This is the truth, Ivy. You can't deny it.
TIB: Of course I can! None of this is true You are playing a sick game on me or something!
Dumby: No, child. This is the purest truth. I know how you feel. Like the world just betrayed you and mixed up wrong and right. . .
TIB: Don't presume to know how I feel! You don't have a single clue.
Dumby: Of course I know how you feel .That was exactly how I felt when I found out the first time what people really thought about me. As a weak wimp who's afraid to kill and babbles about freedom and world peace. What am I? A stupid teenager model who thinks those are the top desires of the world? Hell, no.
TIB: At least you are right in one thing. But. . . then what about me?
Dumby: You have my blood in your veins. That's why you were drove to the evil you thought Voldemort represented. It was just an illusion. You were always at MY side.
TIB: NO! I'm still dreaming. It's a nightmare. Let me go! In a minute I will wake up and everything will be the same as it was! Let me OUT!!!
Dumby: I will let you go. But it will not change anything. This is true, my child. You were lied to and now for the first time you hear the truth. From now on, nothing will be as it was. And remember- You Swore to Obey ME!
TIB: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
She wakes up.
TIB: OOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!
Voldy: Ivy, are you all right?
TIB: Yes. No. Nightmare. Dumbledore. Kill. No. Bye.
Voldi: (smiling). That's nice
TIB: No! He said that. . . . That I swore to be on his side.
Voldi: (In a strange voice) What else did he tell you?
TIB: That he's killing people.
Voldi lowers his head to his chest with a sigh.
TIB: (Fear in her voice) So it's true?!
Voldi: Part of it.
TIB: (her fear's growing) Which part?
Voldi: The killing part. He was always very committed to God. He made people meet him sooner than they should have.
TIB: But. . . . He's good. You're bad. I'm bad. The end!
Voldi: Look. . . .
TIB: NO! I told you THE END- I don't want to hear this anymore. I need some fresh air.
Goes out.
After a while:
TIB's inhaling the fresh air, letting it cool her down. Thinking about it won't make everything go away. She has to face it, she has to realize how the truth will influence her, and if she wants it to change her. She's imagining Tom's loving eyes as she walks in the hall, expecting every moment to see his familiar face. When she sees it, it wasn't as she expected it to be.
She's seeing the thing she never thought she will have to witness. Even with the darkness from inside the room she is able to see her love's figure clear. Far too clear. And she sees who was beside him.
She sees her love's kissing another woman.
He was cheating her.
In rage she's running outside, her tears blinding her.
TIB: (Whispering) How could YOU?????
She's running as fast as she can from the place which tormented her soul. She doesn't even feel the distance that she passes, doesn't see the night falling over the hills and never feels the cool air. The only thing she can think of was him. And the woman who was beside him. With tears still falling down her cheeks, she's reaching her safety. Her forest. The one place she knows she will be able to disappear in and never come out. She doesn't want to come back anymore. There was nobody to come back to. But instead of the heart- warming welcome she expected from her mammal friends, she saw a human form. And there was no mistake to know whom this was.
Dumby: I know why you're here.
TIB: How could he?? (Still crying)
Dumby: He betrayed a lot of people before, what makes you think you're special?
TIB: (Crying louder) I AM special!! He LOVES me!!!!!!
Dumby: It's not true and you know it. He loves someone else.
TIB: Shut up! Just go away and leave me alone!
Dumby: You can join me, Ivy. You know you want to. Your sign is calling you.
TIB can't see anything, like someone all of a sudden closed all the lights. But maybe it was true- the discovery of the fakeness of her life closed her light. Her love. As her unbelieving lips cried over and over the same painful line "How could he?", her eyes are closing to any other hurt she may be witness to and let the darkness sweep her.
TIB: Yeah, I know already.
Dumby: You. . . .you know? Who told you?
TIB: You.
Dumby: I. . . .I told you?
TIB: Yeah! You're my father.
Dumby: Oh, no, not. . . .I mean. . . .You were always a complicated child, weren't you?
