Harry Potter and the Discontinuity Factor

Act 1, Scene 6

(enter Gryffindor common room, with Harry, Ron, and Hermione sitting at a table together)

Harry: So Hermione, how's my potions essay going? It's due tomorrow, y'know.

Hermione: It's… surprisingly complex, but I think I've got it down.

Harry: Thanks, Hermione. (pats her back) You're the best.

Hermione: (smiles) No problem, Harry. You know I'm here for you. (Harry smiles back)

Ron: (eating) So, You-Know-Who is back, and he wants to kill you, and he's planning on ruling the wizarding world?

Harry: That's it in a nutshell.

Hermione: Well, what are you going to do? You're too young to fight off Voldemort.

Harry: Well, I'm hoping that Dumbledore will call me into his office, in some sort of intruding and creepy way like always, and give me all the information I need to start on my way to defeating Voldemort.

Dumbledore: (crawls out from under the table) Apparate! (The Golden Trio Jumps back from their chairs)

(Hermione squeals in shock)

Ron: Bloody hell! Bloody hell! Where… what… …huh?

Dumbledore: (ignoring his surroundings) Hello, Harry. I need to see you in my office alone tonight at midnight to discuss your situation. Please come alone. Alright, now that that's out of the way, I'm going to take my sponge bath. Disapparate! (walks off stage singing "Rubber Ducky")

Harry: …can someone tell me what the hell just happened? (Hermione shakes her head, Ron throws up into a nearby trashcan) (after a minute, all sit back down at the table and resume their previous actions) (enter Ginny)

Ginny: Hello Ron, (angry, "spitting out the name") Hermione. (seductively) Hey, Harry, how are you doing tonight?

Harry: Oh, you know, same old Boy-Who-Lived business. Wait, can I get your opinion on something?

Ginny: (somewhat surprised) Uh, sure, Harry, what do you want?

Harry: It's going to take a little planning, so let me go grab something from my dorm, and meet me at the top of the Astronomy Tower, okay? (exit Harry)

Ginny: Okay, Harry. (smiles knowingly, exit Ginny, opposite side than Harry)

(Hermione stares from Harry's exit side to Ginny's and back, with a worried look)

Ron: Hermione? You okay? (Hermione stops and focuses)

Hermione: Huh? Oh, yeah, I'm fine, just a little unfocused is all.

Ron: Yeah, I have that problem too. That's why I have this! (pulls out large sack filled with food) Eating always makes me feel better. Do you want something?

Hermione: It would make you feel better, Ronald. And no thank you.

Ron: (shrugs) Alright, your loss. (pulls out a container of Chinese food, begins to eat again)
