We just figured we didn't do the disclaimer thing for so long that you might get confused and think we own them! Boy, that'll be bad. However, we Do own TIB, the proud production of our delusional imagination. We also realized that our Beta, Kerry Leprechaun, didn't get enough credit for the amazing work she's doing. Trust us, if it wasn't her- our writing was way outta control. THANX!
The Beginning of the End- part I
Previously: Hermione enters.
Hermione: Hi Harry, hi Ron. (Waving)
Harry (to Draco Malfoy): Slap me.
Darco Malfoy (eyes glittering): Sure!
Hermione (standing between them): Stop it already!
Ron (too shocked even to want slap to Malfoy for slapping Harry for. .. that's enough) : But. . . .
Hermione: I'm dead. Yeah, I know. So?
Everyone is quiet.
Hermione (to Voldemort): Didn't you tell them? (accusing glare)
Voldi: I was busy!
Hermione: With what? (looks around and then) oh. Congratulations.
TIB: Thanks. . .I guess.
Hermione: Well, tell them!
Wormtail: Tell us what?
Voldi (irritated): You know it already!
Wormtail (thinks for a moment and then): Oh.
Bellatrix: Look, I know this is very funny . . . in its own unique kind of way but. . . will someone PLEASE tell me what's going on???!!!!
Voldemort: I guess I'm the one to say it.
With a loud noise, smoke (too theatrical? Oh well. . .) appears and the door is opened to welcome a figure in purple cloak and large glasses. It was that man who holds the key for the mystery that kept hunting them all.
TIB: Dumbledore.
Dumby: Child. I'm delighted to see you.
TIB: Yeah, right. What did you want?
Dumby: To be at your wedding. I'm your father; I deserve to be present in the happiest day of my daughter's life.
Voldi: And a great father you are, abandoning her!
Dumby: I never. . . ok I did, but. . .I didn't know. . .!
TIB: Come on, this is Voldemort we are talking about, do you really think that he would have married a Mudblood?
Hermione: Hey!
TIB: Sorry, kid.
Voldi: What do you want, Dumbeldore?
Dumbi: That you will return what you have stolen from me.
Voldi: Really? What is it?
Dumbi: My daughter!
Voldi: I didn't steal it!
TIB: It???!!!
Voldi: Sorry honey, her.
TIB: Don't you honey me, honey.
Dumbi: Of course you stole her. You turned her against me!
TIB: I was always against you! You did it by yourself by lying to me that you were good.
Harry: He Is good!
Dumby: I was always good to you, Ivy.
TIB: Really, how exactly?
Dumby: Protecting you. Keeping you alive.
TIB: Yes, and leaving me alone to decay in the Muggles' world.
Dumby: I only did it to protect you. I knew that if you had stayed, some people might try to hurt you to get to me. And I couldn't afford it. You are too important to me.
TIB: Awww, I'm touched. But we both know that you will sacrifice everything to promote your cause. Including me.
Dumby: Yes, I will. Sometimes you have to let go of one person to save humanity.
Voldi: And just who decides who must to be sacrificed for the greater good? I don't remember that it was you who were given that duty.
Dumby: Nobody GIVES me anything. I TAKE it.
Snape: Like you took the Potters' lives.
Harry: He. . . professor?
Dumbledore: I'm so sorry, Harry. I had no other choice.
Lupin: There's ALWAYS a choice!
Dumbi: Not in this case. You see, Harry's parents betrayed me.
Voldi: Stop yapping already. They didn't betray you. In fact, they betrayed ME. You just had fun killing them.
Harry: My parents were never at YOUR side.
Arthur Weasley: I'm sorry, Harry. There was a time when your parents were at He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named's side. They were supposed to be spies, really, but. . .people change.
Voldi: No, they haven't changed. They saw the truth. After they realized what they had done while under the Order's service, they were petrified. They didn't think they really did those things. After a while, they demanded revenge. I was supposed to help them but. . . then Dumbledore got in the way. He knew they were going to kill him. So he simply killed them before they did. When I got there, it was already too late.
Hagrid: But I was there when I got little Harry from their house. There was nobody else there!
Snape: Dumbledore took care of hiding everything after. . . You know.
Bellatrix: You seem to know a lot about all this, Severus, is there something you want to tell us?
Snape: Want? Not really. But there's something I Have to tell you.
(silence)
Everyone: Well??
Sanpe: As most of you already realized from earlier, there are lots of facts from our history that were plastered. The thing is. . . the lie is far deeper than just the death of Harry's parents. There was a reason for Dumbledore murdering them, and it's not a pretty one.
Dumbi: (threateningly) What are you exactly saying, Severous?
Snape: (plainly) The truth.
Voldemort: You don't have to do it.
Snape: Yes, I do. I promised Lily I would. It just took me a while to do it.
Hermione: Oh hell, go ahead already!
Sanpe: Well, there isn't an easy way to say it,. huh?
Hermione wasn't killed by Voldemort.
Hermione: Do I look dead?
Harry: But we saw your body.
Draco Malfoy: Shut up, both of you and let the man speak!
Dumbi: I don't think it's necessary.
TIB: Just try!
Harry: Try what? (Then aware of everyone's stare) what?
TIB: Didn't you realize already?
Harry: Obviously not. Please tell me!
Hermione: Haven't you listened to anything that was said? Dumbledore killed your parents!
Snape: Dumbledore KILLED a lot of people, Hermione.
Hermione is about to say something and then lowers her head in grief and says: Yes, I know.
Harry: but it can't be! Only bad people kill others. It'll mean that. . . (gasp in shock)
Hagrid (in horror)It means that Dumbledore's a murderer.
At once, Dumbledore is taking out his wand, determined to shut Snape forever. Behind him, the Aurors are taking theirs out as well, there will be no more killing.
The earth is shaking as the voices inside are growing more tormented, ready to claim their vengeance. He who had taken lives must return his to the maker.
Ron: (in panic) What is going on?
Sanpe: The dead are rising.
Bellatrix: The dead??? They're dead.
Dumby: I know what you are doing, Snape. I'm not afraid from bunch of ghosts.
Then, he turns around to leave. For a moment, everyone is frozen but then the first person, Bellatrix, follows his lead. After her, more leave. Those who believed in something that was a lie all along.
The earth stops shaking as the two enemies stare at each other, eyes fuming, knowing what tomorrow will bring.
War.
