A play about Hermione Granger

Scene 18 Save Malfoy!

Hermione is in Professor McGonagall's office. She is sitting in the chair in front of her desk, while Professor paces the room.

HG: What is the problem, Professor? Why did you remove me from my finals?

PM: Miss Granger, we received an owl a few minutes ago. It was from Draco Malfoy. I understand that you two were romantically involved. Is this correct?

HG: (blushing) Yes, Professor, it is. But we broke up several weeks ago.

PM: His note stated that he had finished his last exam and was going home. He also mentioned that, and this is a direct quote, "that seeing my sweet Mione every day and not being able to touch her is a terrible fate, worse than death. In fact, dying would be a better choice." This has led me to believe he might be contemplating his own death. I asked several of the students, and at last Parvati Patil was able to provide me with the information that the one he referred to as "Mione" was yourself. Now I am forced to ask you if you know anything about him that might save him.

HG: (weakly) He really said that?

PM: Yes, Miss Granger, he really said that. Now, what do think would save him?

HG: Me?

PM: you have guessed correctly. You should go to him immediately and talk him out of this plan. As much as I disapprove of inter-house romance, and as much as I dislike Mr. Malfoy and the Slytherins, I still would appreciate your going to speak with him. I can make the arrangements for you to leave in one hour's time to go directly to Malfoy Manor. Will you go?

HG: Umm, yes?

PM: The answer is not a question Miss Granger, it is a statement. Will you go?

HG: Yes, Professor, I will go.

PM: Then go now, and pack what you need. There will be a coach waiting for you in Hogsmeade at 6:00 sharp. Meet it on time. You have my permission to leave school grounds.

HG: Thank you Professor.

PM: Don't pause, hurry! You may save Mr. Malfoy from a terrible fate.

Hermione rushes out of the room to pack her things. In exactly one hour, she is in Hogsmeade to board the coach
