This is a reposting of the old Chapter 3 because it had a formatting problem. Everything was in italics! It's all fixed now.



Cut to later. Ginny enters the classroom wearing a huge smile.

GINNY: Oh my god. You will never believe what happened in class just now.

Reveal the rest of the gang sitting around the table looking at books.

HARRY:Everybody started singing and dancing?

Ginny looks disappointed.

GINNY:I gave birth to a hippogriff.

RON: Oh my god, did it sing?

Shot of Susan and Neville whispering to each other.

GINNY: So, you guys too, huh? (walks closer)

HERMIONE: So what'd you guys sing about?

GINNY: (sighs) Arithmancy.

Ginny puts down her satchel, sits on a stool by Lupin's desk. We see Susan whispering in Neville's ear.

NEVILLE: (loudly) Tha-That's right! The, the volume. The text.

LUPIN: What text?

SUSAN: The volume-y text. You know? The, the (mumbles) report.

RON: The what now?

NEVILLE: Oh, there's just a few volumes back in the common room that deal with mystical chants, bacchanals.

Ginny glances at Lupin's desk, sees a necklace lying there.

NEVILLE: It might be relevant.

SUSAN: Yeah, we could, um-

LUPIN: Well, I'm a Veela hair away from investigating spiders at the moment, so I'm open to anything.

Ginny furtively picks up the necklace and puts it in her pocket.

SUSAN: Great, we'll, uh, go check it out and uh, we'll let you know what we find.

NEVILLE: Yeah, this could blow the whole thing wide open.

Cut to Susan and Neville walking along the lake. It's sunny and beautiful. Green grass, blue sky, giant squid basking in the golden yellow sunshine, etc.

NEVILLE: Do we have any books at all on this?

SUSAN: Well, who wants to be cooped up on a day like this? The sun is shining, there's songs going on...

A couple of 4th year Hufflepuff girls walk by and look at Susan and Neville as they pass.

SUSAN: ...those girls are checking you out.

NEVILLE: What? (turns to look) Wh-What are they looking at?

SUSAN: The hotness of you, doofus.

NEVILLE: Those girls really thought I was hot? (looks back at them again)

SUSAN: Entirely.

NEVILLE: Oh my god. I'm cured! I want the girls!

Neville makes like he's going to run after the girls. Susan grabs him and pulls him back. Neville giggles.

SUSAN: Do I have to fight to keep you? 'Cause I'm not large with the butch.

They stand underneath a tree, leaning on a wooden railing.

NEVILLE: I'm just ... not used to that. They-they were really looking at me?

SUSAN: (fondly) And you can't imagine what they see in you.

NEVILLE: I know exactly what they see in me. You.

Song: "I'm Under Your Spell"

NEVILLE: (verse one) I would forget my shadow
Forget where to go on the way.
It didn't seem so sad, though
I figured let come what may
Now I'm bathed in light
walking out from the shade, lifting his face to the sun
I know just what is right

I'm under your spell
How else could it be
Now I can remember things?
It's magic, I know well
How you helped me be
Freed by all the love you bring.

Pan across a little stream with a bridge over it. Susan and Neville are on the bridge. Neville takes Susan's hand and they walk off the bridge onto a path, holding hands.

NEVILLE : (verse two) I saw my past go by me
I couldn't recall what happened where.

Neville makes a gesture with his wand and butterflies emerge, flying from his wand, then disappearing with a little tinkling noise.

NEVILLE: I wanted more, but blimey-
I never would learn. It wasn't fair.

Susan makes some miniature dragons with her own wand, they fly up in a little dance then circle above them, ending by breathing a small burst of fire that halos the two lovers. The dragons disappear. Susan and Neville smile at each other.

NEVILLE:
Then your power shone
Brighter than any I've known.

Neville spins away from Susan. We see the lake at the edge of the grass. The giant squid floats lazily near the shore. Neville begins to dance; he's surprisingly graceful.

NEVILLE:
I'm under your spell
Now I can do
Anything that I want to.

Parvati and Lavender are on the grass sunbathing in the background. They get up and begin dancing in sync with Neville. The giant squid starts waving his tentacles along with the music.

NEVILLE:
You worked your charms so well
Finally, I knew
All I overlooked to do
You made me believe.

PARVATI/LAVENDER: Ahhh, ahhh, ahhh (etc...)

Susan and Neville spin around in each other's arms. Suddenly they are in Neville's dormroom. They sit down on the bed and look lovingly at each other. The curtains close magically behind them. The music and background "ahh, ahh" continues.

NEVILLE:
The moon to the tide
Nothing inside me can hide
I'm under your spell lies down on the bed
Purging pain from me Susan leans over him, smiles
As good as Herbology
I break with every swell
Susan moves downward, disappears out of shot
Kiss you give to me
And just like a tiny tree
You make me complete!

Neville's body slowly rises up and hovers over the bed.

NEVILLE:
You make me complete
You make me complete
You make me com...

Cut back to the Lupin's classroom. Everyone still looking at books.

RON: I bet they're not even working.

HARRY: Who now?

RON: Susan and Neville. You see the way they were with each other? The get-a-roominess to them? I bet they're- (glances at Ginny, catches himself) Singing. They're probably singing right now.

LUPIN: I'm sure Susan and Neville are making every effort.

RON: Oh, yeah.

HARRY: Ronald.

GINNY: Harry, it's okay. I do know about this stuff. Besides, it's all kinda romantic.

HARRY/RON: No it's not!

GINNY: Come on! Songs, dancing around. What's gonna be wrong with that?

Cut to the Shrieking Shack. It's dark. A large golden red bird is soaring back and forth across the room. Cut closer and we see that his expression is scared and desperate. He continues flapping harder and harder, gaining speed with each thrust of his wings, and suddenly bursts into flame, screeching like only an injured phoenix can.

He falls to the floor in front of a pair of feet in red shoes and red pants. Pan up to reveal a man-like figure in a set of red robes, with pale skin, a flat nose, and snake-like eyes.

VOLDEMORT: That's entertainment.

Blackout.
