Cut to the classroom. Neville is looking through a book. He holds the piece of dried herb up to a picture of the same herb. Close shot on the book. The photo is labeled "Lethe's Bramble. Used for augmenting potions of forgetting and mind control."
Song: "Wish I Could Stay"
NEVILLE: (same melody from his previous song)
I 'm under your spell
God, how can this be?
Potions in my memory
[turns, goes to the edge of the bookcase and looks down]
You know I've been through hell
Susan, don't you see?
[below, we see Harry enter room, go over to Susan and greet her]
There'll be nothing left of me
You made me believe.
[Lupin enters room, stands behind Neville, overlaps with Neville's last word]
LUPIN: Believe me, I don't wanna go
LUPIN/NEVILLE: And it'll grieve me 'cause I love you so
[shot of Susan and Harry talking, oblivious to the singing]
LUPIN/NEVILLE: But we both know
Neville comes down to the base of the ladder and Lupin sits at the table as they sing the next two verses together.
LUPIN: Wish I could say the right words
To give you peace at last.
Wish I could take your father
And bring him from the past.
NEVILLE:
Wish I could fall in love with all your thrall
But my walls will just not fall
I can't recall this at all
We're done, but I just
LUPIN/NEVILLE:
Wish I could stay
[Neville reaches the ground level, Lupin stands up]
Wish I could stay
Wish I could stay
[They both walk toward the front of the room. Another shot of Harry and Susan talking]
LUPIN/NEVILLE:
Wish I could stay...
End of song "Wish I Could Stay."
Neville and Lupin stand side-by-side as their song ends. Suddenly Luna bursts into the classroom pulling one of Voldemort's minions. Everyone turns to look.
LUNA: (excited) Lookie, lookie what I found!
NEVILLE: I-it's a Death Eater!
SUSAN: (happily) Neville!
Neville ignores her. Susan looks surprised. Ron and Hermione emerge from the back.
LUNA: (dreamily) You-know-who's guy. Has a nice little story for Harry, don't you? Come on, then. (shoves the minion forward) Sing.
The music swells up dramatically as if to introduce a big musical number, but the Death Eater simply speaks in normal voice.
DEATH EATER: My master has Weasley's sister hostage at the Shrieking Shack because she summoned him and at midnight he's going to take her to be his queen.
LUPIN: What does he want?
MINION: (indicates Harry) Him.
LUNA: If that's all you've got to say, then-
Luna tries to grab the minion but he breaks free and runs off.
LUNA: (dreamily) Strong. Someday he'll be a real boy.
HARRY: So. Someone's in trouble. Must be Tuesday.
NEVILLE: I-I just left her for a few minutes.
HARRY: Oh, it's not your fault. So what's the plan?
RON: Plan, schman. Let's mount up.
LUPIN: No.
HERMIONE: Uh, Ginny may have had the wrong idea in summoning He-who-must-not-be-named, but ... I've read about some of these underworld child bride deals and, and they never end well. Well, maybe once.
SUSAN: We're not just gonna stay here.
LUPIN: Yes we are. (looks intently at Harry) Harry's going alone.
LUNA: (laughs) Hah! Don't be a silly git. There is no-
LUPIN: If I want your opinion, Luna, I'll- (pauses to consider) I'll never want your opinion.
LUNA: No need to be rude.
SUSAN: A little confusion spell could-
NEVILLE: No! (Susan looks surprised) I mean, I don't think it'll help.
LUNA: (to Harry) Look, forget them, Harry. I've got your back.
HARRY: I thought you were mad at me and wanted me to stay away from you. Isn't that what you sang?
RON: Loony sing a widdle song?
HERMIONE: Would you say it was a breakaway pop hit or more of a book number?
RON: Let it go, sweetie.
LUNA: (to Harry, hurt) Fine. I hope you dance in her turn. Go rescue the little bit.
Luna exits. Harry looks at Lupin.
HARRY: You're really not coming.
LUPIN: (walks up to him) It's up to you, Harry.
HARRY: (upset) What do you expect me to do?
LUPIN: Your best.
Harry stares at him.
Cut to the courtyard. It's dark, red lighting. Some people are doing an angry dance-fight. The Slytherin Quidditch team is picking on some Gryffindors again. Pan down to focus on a fire burning in the middle of the yard.
Harry walks up in foreground, holds his hand out to the fire.
Song: "Storm Through The Lightning"
HARRY: (verse one)
So Voldemort wants to kill me.
I can't stop wanting Sirius Black.
Those to who I'm close? [looking at his hand]
Voldemort hurts the most.
[turns to glare at the camera]
Seizing the love I lack.
Cut to the Shrieking Shack. Dust swirls as Voldemort shoves Ginny into a chair, goes to sit in another chair beside her. Ginny looks scared.
HARRY: (verse two)
Now all my friends have turned from me
I guess that I have done the same.
[cut back to Harry standing on the grounds]
Keep myself at bay
So no trouble comes their way
These things must come with fame.
(refrain)
But I will storm [starts to walk towards Whomping Willow] through the lightning
And take what comes in turn
I will storm through the lightning
And let it-
Cut to Luna sitting in a deserted corridor of the castle. Her wand is behind her left ear, and glowing at the tip.
LUNA: (verse three)
His pain I bear, it's up to me
Harry's hurting, I've no doubt
Glad I'm not there.
It's not like Harry cares.
[Puts out wand angrily, then jumps up]
I better help him out. [starts walking]
Cut to the Shack.
VOLDEMORT: (refrain)
'Cause he is drawn fast as lightning.
VOLDEMORT: Some people
LUNA: He will
LUNA/VOLDEMORT: never learn.
[Luna walking down the corridor. Voldemort standing up on the dais.]
LUNA/VOLDEMORT:
And he will storm through the lightning
And let it-
Cut to the classroom. Susan and Neville sit at the table not looking at each other. Lupin stands behind his desk.
LUPIN: (bridge)
Have I put Harry in danger?
Turning him into a stranger?
Or is Harry too far gone to care?
RON: What if Harry cannot beat it?
HERMIONE:
Dirty Hands is right, we're needed!
He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named beware!! [looks at Susan and Neville]
Lupin comes out from behind the counter, gives Susan and Neville a look. They get up, and they all start walking toward the door.
HERMIONE/LUPIN/NEVILLE/SUSAN/RON : (refrain)
We'll see it through
And we will finish You-Know-Who
So we will storm through the lightning!!
Cut to Harry walking alone through the tunnel under the Willow.
HARRY:
But one by one, they turned to me
Why won't my friends do what they're told.
While Riddle lives,
I hope they can forgive
And come in from the cold.
NEVILLE: (descant to Harry's verse)
What can't we face...
If we're together?
The following sequence has Voldemort split-screened with the Scoobies as they walk along the way singing. Basically whoever's singing at the moment is on screen.
VOLDEMORT: [sings as a counterpoint to the group's last verse]
Now one by one, they come to me
Almost as quick as the crow flies.
That lightning strike
Won't work. All Mudbloods die!!!
As will the Boy-Who-Survived.
He will come to me.
HERMIONE: Voldemort is not so scary!!
LUNA: What makes me so mad at Harry?
NEVILLE: We'll tell You-Know-Who "Go take a hike!!"
HARRY: Wading through a potion
[The next lyric he sings over Luna's next line]
Walking through the world
LUNA: 'Cause I love him and he won't care
SUSAN: I don't think that line should be there.
LUPIN: We'll make Tom feel that lightning strike.
HARRY: These blackened days are
Flashing white within a blaze
HARRY, LUNA, HERMIONE, RON, SUSAN, NEVILLE, LUPIN:
And we will storm through the lightning
[Harry walking down the tunnel alone]
As the wind whips and churns
So we will storm through the lightning
[Lupin's group walking down the path right in front of the Willow. The Whomping Willow starts flailing, blocking light from the castle and revealing it again, giving a lightning effect.]
HARRY, LUNA, HERMIONE, RON, SUSAN, NEVILLE, LUPIN:
And let it
Burn.
Let it burn
[Luna jumps over a fence, is in an alley behind the Shrieking Shack]
Let it burn
Let it burn!
Harry hits the trapdoor of the Shrieking Shack. It smashes to pieces.
VOLDEMORT (spoken) Showtime! (chuckles)
End Song "Storm Through the Lightning"
Blackout.
