The point of no return
The curtain closes upstage, ballet girls, from the wings gush around Zara who hands each a flower from he bouquet. Neville as Reyer stiffly gives his approval.
Ginny says approvingly to Zara, "Yes, you did very well. He will be pleased."
She turns to the dancers, "And you! You were a disgrace! Such ronds de jambe. Such temps de cuisse! Here we rehearse now.!"
Christine moves slowly downstage away from the dancers, as her dressing room becomes visible. Unseen to her Meg also moves away and follows her. As Zara is about to open the dressing room door, she hears the Phantom's voice out of nowhere..
Harry's voice sang purely, "Bravi, bravi, bravissimi."
Zara is bewildered at the voice. Hermione following has not heard it.
Hermione sang softly, "Where in the world have you been hiding? Really you were perfect. I only wish I knew your secret! Who is your new tutor?"
Zara sang distracted, and entering her dressing room. "Father once spoke of an angel. I used to dream he'd appear. Now as I sing I can sense him, and I know he's here." She continues to sing in a trance like way. "Here in this room he calls me softly. Somewhere inside hiding. Somehow I know he's always with me. He- the unseen genius."
Hermione sang back uneasily, "Christine you must have been dreaming. Stories like this can't come true. Christine your talking in riddles and it's not like you."
Zara sang on ecstatic, and not hearing her, "Angel of Music! Guide and guardian! Grant to me your glory!"
Hermione sang to herself, "Who is this angel? This…
Both girls sang an enchanting duet, "Angel of Music! Hide no longer! Secret and strange angel…."
Zara sang darkly, "He's with me even now…"
Hermione sang bewildered, "Your hands are cold…"
"All around me…"
"Your face Christine it's white…."
"It frightens me…"
"Don't be frightened…"
They look at each other, the moment is broken by the arrival of Mme. Giry.
"Meg Giry are you a dancer? Then come and practice."
Hermione leaves and joins the other dancers.
Ginny continued when Hermione was gone. "My dear, I was asked to give this to you."
She hands Zara a note and exits. Zara opens it and reads.
Zara read the note puzzled, "A red scarf…the attic…Little Lottie."
