This is the real Act one Scene One. The previous bit was a little teaser. This is so much fun! It's going to make so much sense once it starts moving faster. It's so much fun writing! I love doing this. And like I have a fairly good following for only one chapter. (Innocent Romance is making me happy… I'm on 13 people's alerts and like reviews are starting to increase!).

----- King Lear-----Harry Potter Style-----

Act One Scene One

Sirius: I thought the king favored Lady Bell over Lady Chang, but who knows now?

Lupin: He has divided his kingdom among his sons evenly. Time will tell.

Sirius: Where are your daughters?

Lupin: In the garden with the others.

Sirius: Which do you love more?

Lupin: I do not love either more. My pureblooded daughter Susan is no greater than the half-blood Hermione. I had a lot of the fun with that muggle though making Hermione. Her mother was amazing. Hermione…

(Enter Hermione)

Hermione: Yes father?

Lupin: This is Lord Black.

Hermione: Nice to meet you.

Sirius: Call me Sirius. I see what you mean Lupin. I hope to get to know you better Hermione.

Hermione: Me too sir.

Sirius: The king approaches.

(Enter King Harry, Ladies Bell and Chang, Marcus, Roger, and Cedric)

Harry: Escort the Lords Wood and Krum in Lupin.

Lupin: Yes my liege.

(Exit Lupin)

Harry: I shall divide my kingdom in three for my sons. I wish to relax and eventually raise my grandchildren. I am growing old and tired of ruling. Ladies Bell and Chang your husbands shall inherit much. And dear Cedric why must you remain single? Sons, how much do you love me?

Marcus: More than words. Beyond health and happiness.

Cedric: (whispers to himself) What should I say?

Harry: To you, from this forest, to the mountains, and here by the grand river (points to the map). And now Roger, husband of the grand Lady Chang, what do you have to say?

Roger: Some as my brother. My only joy is loving you and being your son.

Cedric: (continues whispering) What I am going to say?

Harry: You shall receive this portion of fertile land and fetching meadows. No bigger or smaller than Marcus. And now dear Cedric what do you day?

Cedric: Nothing, my lord.

Harry: Nothing?

Cedric: I love you no more or less than a father deserves from his son.

Harry: Lords Krum and Wood why have you two remained in the kingdom? Your purpose is not pure. Cedric's education has long been completed. Yet you both have stayed. Have either of you found a suitable bride? Would either of you dare be currently courting him?

Krum: No my lord.

Wood: Nothing more than to make your greatest son happy, my lord.

Harry: So come now Cedric, anything else to say?

Cedric: Yes. My brothers say they love you, but that is only for their inheritance. You know how much I love you, but yet I am chastised for speaking the truth. I do have one more thing to add.

Harry: Yes?

Cedric: There is a reason I have not courted anyone.

Harry: Yes?

Cedric: For I have fallen for the great Lord Wood.

Harry: What. See now you shall receive nothing. It was one thing when you said how you loved me, but this is unacceptable. No son of mine shall receive an inch of land if he is a follow or Satan. Leave sodomite.

(Cedric cries and runs to Lord Wood)

Harry: So Krum and Wood. Tell the truth. What were your intentions?

Krum: I did love your son, but a man without land and money is useless. A man without an inheritance is not worth the time of day. I am sorry I spent so long courting him.

Harry: Courting?

Krum: Yes. Your other sons and their wives were well aware.

Harry: How dare you! And Lord Wood how do you respond to the sodomite?

Wood: Cedric, I love you. I never had the courage to say so. It is not the money or power that I fell in love with, but the intellect and wit to which I have grown fond of. I have fallen in love with you. Come back with me.

Harry: The two of you shall be banished.

Wood: It is odd how the son, the delight of your old age was shunned so quickly. How could you do such a heinous crime?

Cedric: I am not a bad person. I have done nothing, but be the person I have always been. You have always known. If you do not accept me for who I am that is fine. I am a bad person for I love not the king or the rich man, but my own father.

Harry: It would have been better off if you were never born.

Wood: Cedric, you are more to me now that you have nothing. Come with your new king. We shall rule a prosperous age together. Say goodbye quickly to your brothers for the servants await.

(Cedric walks toward his brothers)

Harry: He's yours. He's no longer a son of mine. Be gone! Come Lord Krum.

(King Harry and Lord Krum leave first. Soon after Sirius and the Ladies Bell and Chang exit).

Cedric: Brothers take care of father.

Roger: Don't tell us what to do.

Marcus: Father did the right thing. You deserve nothing. Your naïve ideals have costs you your fortune and fame. Have fun with lover boy over there. (Glares at Lord Wood).

Cedric: Farewell brothers.

(Lord Wood and Cedric exit)

Roger: Father was foolish dear brother. He shall stay with you for this month for my home is not ready yet. Father was foolish to banish Cedric for he loved him with all of his heart. Let us show him how his bad judgment is obvious. At least we get more land for our wives.

(Exit Roger and Marcus)

Author's Note:

Hope you enjoyed this! It was really hard! I tried to do a line by line translation. Sparknotes' No Fear Shakespeare King Lear helped a lot, but I still had to rework a lot of it. Scene two should be up soon I hope. I did this in study, but I have three projects due soon so I don't know what I shall do next. Do your civic duty and review! I am not updating until I get at least 10 REVIEWS! Just leave a quick note and press the pretty lavender button! I think I caught all the typos…
