A Play about Hermione Granger
Scene 16 Hermione Starts Fresh
in the great hall for supper that day. Hermione is sitting by Ron. Harry has not yet arrived.
HG: Well Ron, I've made a wonderful decision today.
RW: (darkly) What, going to run away with Malfoy?
HG: Ron, that's ridiculous! I've sent him on his way. He was too much trouble anyway.
RW: Hermione, that's fantastic! owl arrives for Draco
HG: In fact, the owl I sent him with his ring just arrived. Draco opens the letter, catches the ring before it falls out, and scans the first few lines. His face turns paler than normal and he rushes out of the hall, nearly running into Harry
HP: What was that all about?
RW: Hermione just sent Draco his ring back.
HP: You did? Good for you Hermione!
HG: (modestly) Well, I had gotten in too deep and I just didn't want to deal with it anymore.
RW: Well, I think you did the right thing.
HP: Me too.
HG: Maybe now I can get on with studying for finals.
RW: Now that's the Hermione I know!
