A play about Lily Evans
Scene 4 Harriet's secret
Shay, Lily, Harriet, Mackie, James, Remus, Peter, and Sirius are standing in the entrance hall just after Christmas holidays.
LE: Shay, what's going on with you lately? You never go to Hogsmeade with us anymore, and it's no secret that you and Sirius aren't seeing each other anymore.
SB: Well, maybe if Shay hadn't been sneaking around with my best friend behind my back, we still would be seeing each other.
HW: Sirius, get over it. It was the beginning of last semester. Find someone else.
JP: And I said I was sorry.
SB: Well, I forgive you. Shay is another story. (dark look at Shay)
SOC: Maybe I found someone or something better than what I had with you. As far as I'm concerned, that part of my life is over now. And maybe it's time to find new friends, too. (walks away, toward where Lucius and Tom Riddle are standing against the wall)
HW: Well, I guess we all knew how that was going to turn out, now didn't we? She's off where she belongs.
RL: Harriet, just hush up and stop talking about it. It's bad enough that Lily here keeps disappearing with Lucius Malfoy all the time, we don't need to discuss Shay's defecting too.
JP: Lily? Are you still hanging about with Malfoy? Why didn't you tell me?
LE: (blushing) It didn't seem like anything you needed to know. He's helping me with Potions. It was either ask him or Snape, and of course I chose Lucius.
PP: On the Snape subject, anyone interested in hearing about Harriet's little date with Severus last weeked?
HW: Pettigrew! Keep your fat mouth shut about that!
LE: Oh no, Peter, tell us all about it. We're definitely curious about Harriet breaking her own unwritten rules.
PP: There's really nothing to tell, except that...well...
SB: Oh come on, Wormtail, tell us. We're all very interested.
PP: Well, I'm scared of Harriet, so I'll tell James and he has to promise not to tell the rest of you until I'm safely in the tower.
JP: Alright then, what is it? (Peter pulls James aside and starts to whisper something to him)
HW: Peter, don't you dare! I'll kill you, I swear! (Sirius and Remus hold her until Peter makes it up the stairs)
JP: (laughing so hard he can hardly stand it) I can't believe it! (Remus and Sirius release Harriet in their rush to find out, and she rushes towards the staircase)
MB: Out with it, James, we're dying to know!
JP: HE KISSED HER! TWICE! (everybody busts out laughing at the thought)
MB: After all her telling off of Shay and Lily for mixing houses, here she goes and does it herself!
SB: With Snape no less!
Everyone keeps laughing
