"Fox we did it we're the lead characters in the play" said Harry.
"Let's just hope my dad won't sock Professor Snape in one scene and I won't laugh when I'm talking to him about Gaston" replied Serena as she headed to the portrait hole.
" Hey Serena, Where are you going?" asked Fred or was it George.
"I'm going to see my dad" replied Serena as she left the room with Harry following her.
Serena spots Sirius about to enter the great hall and notice that the headmaster was in there along with some of the staff so she runs and jumps onto his back. He doesn't even know she's on his back and every one cracked up laughing.
"What?" asked Sirius.
"Black, you have a little hitch hiker on your back" said Snape.
"Serena, get down now" Sirius said to his daughter who reluctantly got of her father's back.
"Ms. Black, Mr. Potter right on time for rehearsal" said Prof. Dumbledore with a smile as the rest of the students came in.
Professor Dumbledore thought it would be best if Sirius and Serena did their scene first.
Serena/Belle: Papa?
Sirius/ Maurice: How on earth did that happen? Dog gonnit!
Serena/ Belle: Are you all right, Papa?
Sirius/Maurice: I'm about ready to give up on this hunk of junk!
Serena/Belle: You always say that.
Sirius/ Maurice: I mean it, this time. I'll never get this boneheaded contraption to work.
Serena/ Belle: Yes, you will. And you'll win first prize at the fair tomorrow
Sirius/Maurice: Hmmmph!
Serena/Belle: . . . and become a world infamous inventor!
Sirius/Maurice:Youreally believe that?
Serena/Belle: I always have.
Sirius/Maurice:Well, what are we waiting for. I'll have this thing fixed in no time.
(sliding under machine) Hand me that dog-legged clencher there... So, did you have a good time in town today?
Serena/Belle: I got a new book. Papa, do you think I'm odd?
Sirius/Maurice: My daughter? Odd? (Appears from under machine with bizarre goggle contraption on his head distorting his eyes) Where would you get an idea like that?
Serena/Belle:Oh, I don't know. It's just I'm not sure I fit in here. There's no one I can really talk to.
Sirius/ Maurice:What about that Gaston? He's a handsome fellow!
Serena/Belle: He's handsome all right, and rude and conceited and...Oh Papa, he's not for me!
Sirius/Maurice:Well, don't you worry, cause this invention's going to be the start of a new life for us. (Comes out from under machine) I think that's done it. Now, let's give it a try. (Machine whirs and chops wood, just as it should)
Serena/Belle:It works!
Sirius/ Maurice: It does? It does!
Serena/Belle: You did it! You really did it!
Sirius/ Maurice: Hitch up Phillipe, girl. I'm off to the fair! (Log strikes him in the head, knocking him out. Fade to later in the day)
The head master decided to switch the scene so Harry and Serena could work together.
Serena/ Belle: There's something sweet
and almost kind
But he was mean
And he was coarse and unrefined.
But now he's dear
And so unsure,
I wonder why I didn't see it there before.
(Belle is trying to attract some birds to Beast, who shoves a handful of seed at them. Finally, she takes a handful and gently spreads it out, creating a trail. One lands in his hands, and he looks up thrilled.)
Harry/Beast: She glanced this way
I thought I saw
And when we touched
She didn't shudder at my paw
No it can't be
I'll just ignore
But then she's never looked at me that way before
(Belle has ducked around a tree, leaving Beast with the birds. She begins to look doubtful again, but turns her head around the tree and laughs. Beast is covered with birds.)
Serena/ Belle: New, and a bit alarming
Who'd have ever thought that this could be?
True, that he's no Prince Charming
But there's something in him that I simply didn't see.
(Belle throws a snowball at Beast, who had looked at her proudly after the birds flew away. He begins to gather a large pile of snow. We cut to the Objects , looking out of a window at the two. In the background, Belle throws another snowball at Beast, who drops his huge pile of snow on his head. He chases her around a tree, but she ducks around the other side and sneaks up on him from behind.)
Ron, Professor McGonagall and Percy snuck up on the stage when Serena and Harry were performing.
Ron/ Lumiere: Well who'd have thought?
Prof. McGonagall/ Mrs. Potts: Well bless my soul.
Percy/ Cogsworth:And who'd have known?
Prof. McGonagall/ Mrs. Potts:Well who indeed?
Ron/Lumiere: And who'd have guessed they'd come together on their own?
Prof. McGonagall/ Mrs. Potts: It's so peculiar
ALL: We'll wait and see
A few days more
There may be something there that wasn't there before
(Fade to den where Belle sits in front of a roaring fire and
reads to Beast. Objects including Chip watch from doorway :Ginny enters the scene:)
Percy/ Cogsworth:Yes, perhaps there's something there that wasn't there before.
Ginny/ Chip: What?
Prof. McGonagall/ Mrs. Potts: There may be something there that wasn't there before.
Ginny/Chip: What's there, mama?
Prof. McGonagall/ Mrs. Potts: I'll tell you when you're older.
:End of Song:
"Well done every one rehearsal is done for today same time tomorrow" said Professor Dumbledore as he watched the students exit the great hall.
