Light My Candle
By Writer's Block247

Lost in thoughts of his old girlfriend, Sammy, Harry picks up his guitar and starts to play. He is interrupted by a knock at the door. He stares at the young girl standing before him – she looks to be in her teens. She had long brown hair and big brown eyes. She was wearing a loose fitting purple sweater and a knee length denim skirt. As she let herself into the flat, Harry notices she's carrying a candle.

HARRY:
What'd you forget?

HERMIONE:
Got a light?

HARRY:
I know you? -- You're --
You're shivering

HERMIONE:
It's nothing
They turned off my heat
And I'm just a little
Weak on my feet
Would you light my candle?
What are you staring at?

HARRY:
Nothing
Your hair in the moonlight
You look familiar
Can you make it?

HERMIONE:
Just haven't eaten much today
At least the room stopped spinning
Anyway, what?

HARRY:
Nothing
Your smile reminded me of-

HERMIONE:
I always remind people of - who is she?

HARRY:
She died. Her name was Sammy.

HERMIONE:
It's out again
Sorry about your friend
Would you light my candle?

HARRY:
Well-

HERMIONE:
Yeah. Ow

HARRY:
Oh, the wax - It's

HERMIONE:
Dripping! I like it - between my --

HARRY:
Fingers. I figured...
Oh, well. Goodnight.

('Mione exits; then knocks again)

It blew out again?

HERMIONE:
No-I think that I dropped my stash

HARRY:
I know I've seen you out and about
When I used to go out
Your candle's out

HERMIONE:
I had it when I walked in the door
It was pure -
Is it on the floor?

HARRY:
The floor?

HERMIONE:
They say I have the best ass below
14th Street
Is it true?

HARRY:
What?

HERMIONE:
You're staring again

HARRY:
On no
I mean you do--have a nice--
I mean--you look familiar

HERMIONE:
Like your dead girlfriend?

HARRY:
Only when you smile
But I'm sure I've seen you somewhere
Else--

HERMIONE:
Do you go to the Cat Scratch Club
That's where I work - I dance - help me
Look

HARRY:
Yes!
They used to tie you up-

HERMIONE:
It's a living

HARRY:
I didn't recognize you
Without the handcuffs

HERMIONE:
We could light the candle
Oh won't you light the candle

HARRY:
Why don't you forget that stuff
You look like you're sixteen

HERMIONE:
I'm nineteen - but I'm old for my age
I'm just born to be bad

HARRY:
I once was born to be bad
I used to shiver like that

HERMIONE:
I have no heat - I told you

HARRY:
I used to sweat

HERMIONE:
I got a cold

HARRY:
Uh huh
I used to be a junkie

HERMIONE:
But now and then I like to --

HARRY:
Uh huh

HERMIONE:
Feel good

HARRY:
Here it --um --

HERMIONE:
What's That?

HARRY:
Candy bar wrapper

HERMIONE:
We could light the candle
What'd you do with my candle?

HARRY:
That was my last match

HERMIONE:
Our eyes will adjust. Thank Merlin for
the moon

HARRY:
Maybe it's not the moon at all
I hear Spike Lee's shooting down
The street

HERMIONE:
Bah Humbug ... Bah Humbug

HARRY:
Cold hands

HERMIONE:
Yours too
Big. Like my father's
You wanna dance?

HARRY:
With you?

HERMIONE:
No - with my father

HARRY:
I'm Harry

HERMIONE:
They call me
They call me 'Mione
