SCENE TWO
#2B It's A Boy (Nurses, Lily)
(UNCLE VERNON puts the bottle away. LILY, in hospital white, is pushed along in a wheelchair by a NURSE, followed by AUNT PETUNIA, who carries a bundle of blankets. TWO other NURSES enter from the opposite side, passing by UNCLE VERNON, who peers over their shoulders. One of them carries a small bundle, smaller than the one AUNT PETUNIA CARRIES, which SHE gently presents to LILY.)
NURSE 1
IT'S A BOY, MRS. POTTER, IT'S A BOY.
NURSE 2, NURSE 3
IT'S A BOY, MRS. POTTER, IT'S A BOY.
LILY, NURSES
A SON! A SON! A SON!
(The NURSES exit with LILY and the BABY. UNCLE VERNON, AUNT PETUNIA, and their BABY watch them go. AUNT PETUNIA begins to follow with the BABY. HE remains, taking the occasional shot of whiskey.
#2C We've Won (Sirius, Remus, James)
SLIDE: 1981, 1982, 1983.
Beyond, in silhouette, JAMES continues to sleep, unaware of Voldemort passing by him with PETER. UNCLE VERNON exits.
SLIDE: 1984
Members of the Order of the Phoenix, including REMUS and SIRIUS, rush toward the fence. THEY swing the gate open and rush by JAMES into the complex. Only REMUS and SIRIUS stop at the sight of their Stunned best friend. REMUS kneels down and revives him. JAMES sits up and stares at his friends in confusion and alarm. Seeing this, REMUS helps him up and supports him out though the gate into the open. SIRIUS follows and takes JAMES' other shoulder.)
SIRIUS
BACK HOME THEY'RE CELEBRATING IN THE STREETS,
REMUS
AND FREEDOM REIGNS ON THIS FIRST DAY OF PEACE.
JAMES
WE'VE WON?
JAMES, SIRIUS
WE'VE WON!
JAMES, SIRIUS, REMUS
WE'VE WON!
(THEY help JAMES off.)
END OF SCENE TWO
Well, that's done.
Sofie Christianson: I'm glad you enjoy it. As far as it being in the form of a script, the original version of this is The Who's Tommy, which is what is known in musical theater as a rock opera. It was too hard to change into story format.
