And on with it. Thank you again to the people who review. It's a lot of fun. These next chapters were a little more difficult to write, so I hope I did okay.
Cut to Luna's office. Since being allowed to publish and distribute the "Hogwart's Quibbler" she has filled it with all sorts of weird creatures, cages, and printing machinery. Harry enters. Luna's head emerges from behind a printing press.
LUNA: The sun sets and he appears. (comes out the rest of the way) Come to serenade me?
HARRY: So you know what's going on.
LUNA: Well, I've seen some really interesting things in the last two days. A 600 pound Fairy Hag making like Britney Spears, that one will stay with you. I remain immune, happy to say. (holds up a bottle of gillywater ) Drink?
HARRY: A world of no. (sits) So any idea what's causing this?
LUNA: (disappointed) Oh. So that's all. You've just come to pump me for information.
HARRY: What else would I wanna pump you for? (cringes) I really just said that, didn't I?
LUNA: Yeah, well ... don't wanna bore you with the small talk.
Luna walks to the door, opens it and turns toward Harry.
LUNA: Don't know a thing.
HARRY: (frowns) What's up? You're all bad 'n moody.
LUNA: Nothing. Glad you could stop by.
She makes a gesture toward the door. Harry stays seated, looks at her.
LUNA: (dreamily) It's nothing.
HARRY: What?
Song: "Let Yourself Have Peace"
LUNA: (verse one)
He died
Less than a year ago.
[Harry looks surprised to hear her singing. Luna looks at him with her overlarge eyes]
I know I can make you feel
But you just tell me "no" [shakes her head, closes the door]
But why'd you come to be with me
When you just wanna go?
Mmm, mmm.
(verse two)
You're scared.
Ashamed that you can feel
[Harry blushes, not looking at her]
And you can't tell the Gryffindors
You don't think they could deal
[Now he looks at her, frowns]
Whisper into "Loony's" ear, [points to her head]
It doesn't seem so real.
Harry looks at her, then looks away. Luna shrugs slightly, no overt change in her expression.
LUNA: (verse three)
That's great.
But you just wanna play. [walks over to a copy table]
And I think you should tell your friends
And do it now. Today.
And since I'm just "Loony" to you [jumps up to sit on the table]
I'm saying stay away
[lies down on the copy table, crosses arms over her chest]
And let yourself have peace.
Luna jumps up and the song takes on an angry rock beat for the refrain.
LUNA: (refrain)
Let yourself have peace
Then go get some sleep
[grabs gillywater bottle and throws it against the wall. Harry jumps up]
And don't take your love and bury it
In that hole six foot deep
You can lay a body down [advancing on Harry]
But you can't find that sweet release
[turns away from him with an angry gesture]
Go let yourself have peace!
Harry looks confused, turns toward the door, but Luna intercepts him.
LUNA: (verse four, dreamily again)
You know
My mother's in her grave [goes to her knees]
But you just love to play the thought
That you're death's only slave. [Harry lets out a slight grin]
I 'm telling you I'm mad at you, [stands up]
You won't take what I gave
[angrily]
So go let yourself have peace.
Luna yanks the door open again.
Cut to the Entrance Hall. Flitwick levitating a large trunk in front of him. A few yards away we see Luna and Harry walking along side-by-side.
LUNA: (bridge, sung dreamily)
I know you wanna go
But 'less You-Know-Who has you possessed
There's no motive here, not to do your best
[exchanges a look with Harry]
And it hurts me more than you've ever guessed [looking at Harry]
To see you like this, nothing but a pest,
and my heart won't beat, it would break my chest
[they stop walking]
And I can see you're unimpressed
[angrily] So leave me be.
Luna jumps up onto the trunk being levitated by Flitwick.
LUNA: (refrain)
And let yourself have peace
And go get some sleep
Flitwick tips the trunk and Luna tumbles off the end of it, bounces to her feet and continues singing.
LUNA:
And don't take your love and bury it
In that hole six foot deep
She walks towards Harry, straight through the surrounding students, focing them to step aside to avoid her. The people scatter.
LUNA:
You can lay a body down
But you can't find your sweet release...
Her anger takes over and she grabs Flitwick (her Head of House), stares at him. Harry comes up behind Luna, grabs her and turns her around. Luna and Harry tumble backward through the open doors. Luna lands on her back with Harry on top of her.
LUNA:
Let yourself have peace.
Why won't you
Let yourself have peace?
End of song "Let Yourself Have Peace."
They still lie in the entranceway with Harry on top. He stares at Luna for a moment, then gets off her, leaps out of the way and runs off. Luna pokes her head up to watch him go.
LUNA: (spoken) So ... you're not staying then?
Cut to the Common room. Ginny is dumping stuff out of her bag. Neville watches from the doorway. Neville has the "forget" herb pinned to his robes.
NEVILLE: Lotta homework?
GINNY: Arithmancy. It seemed cool when we were singing about it.
NEVILLE: (smiles) Susan said they have a lead on the whole musical extravaganza evil. This demon that can be summoned, some sort of Lord of the Dance. (grins) Oh, but not the scary one. Just a demon.
GINNY: Um ... do they know who summoned it?
NEVILLE: They don't even know its name yet. But Susan will find out. She's the brainy type. (smiles)
GINNY: Hm. (smiles at Neville) I'm glad you guys made up.
NEVILLE: What?
GINNY: That fight you guys had about all that Hufflepuff stuff? (giggles) Hufflepuff stuff. Rhymes. It just... It gives me belly rumblings when you guys fight.
NEVILLE: (confused) Ginny, Susan and I never fought about-
GINNY: It's okay. It's just ... you guys are so great together. I just hate it when you-
Neville puts his hand to the herb on his robes, removes it. His "I'm Under Your Spell" melody plays in background.
GINNY: But that was the only fight I've seen you guys have anyway. But I'm still glad it's over.
NEVILLE: (staring at the herb) Ginny, I, um ... there's something I need to look up. Will you be okay for a little while?
GINNY: Yes. The fifteen-year-old can spend a half an hour alone in her locked Dorm room.
NEVILLE: I-I won't be gone long.
Neville leaves.
Ginny goes over to a side table, opens a small wooden box. It's filled with stuff she has taken from all over the castle. She takes out the necklace from before and puts it on, looks at herself in the mirror.
GINNY: (sings) Does anybody even notice? Does anybody even care?
She turns around to find a Death Eater standing behind her. She screams. The Death Eater is wearing the trademark white mask. We see there are actually three Death Eaters. They throw a bag over Ginny's head. She continues screaming, muffled.
Blackout.
