Harry Potter and the Discontinuity Factor

Act 1, Scene 7

(exit common room, enter hallway, which Harry is walking down, with his saxophone in hand) (enter Draco)

Draco: Well well well, if it isn't Kill-The-Spare Potter. Off to kill another one of your friends, hmm? (looks at saxophone, then points at it) What are you going to do with THAT, Potter? Torture them first with your bassoon?

Harry: (impatiently) Draco, now's not the best time. I've got a busy schedule tonight and there's no time for me to humiliate you right now. Also, it's a saxophone, not a bassoon. So shut up.

Draco: Oh, Potter's too busy killing innocent people to play with Draco. I see how it is. (Harry begins to walk forward, but is stopped by Draco) Except I'm not going to let you go. We're going to have a little fun first. (pulls out wand) Are you ready, Potter?

Harry: (sigh) Fine Malfoy. (begins to reach for wand, but comes up and slaps Draco, who falls over, clutching his face) (as he steps over Draco) You're right. That WAS fun. So long, now. (exit Harry)

Draco: (incredulously) He hit me! I can't believe he hit me! (stands up, holding his face) (runs offstage) This is so going to bruise in the morning… (exit Draco)

(exit hallway, enter top of Astronomy Tower, with Ginny eagerly waiting)

(enter Harry, saxophone in hand)

Harry: Hey, sorry I'm late; just had to work a little something out.

Ginny: Oh it's no problem Harry, I don't mind waiting for you.

Harry: Cool. Well, I was writing this song, and it doesn't have any words yet, just a melody, and I wanted to know what you think of it.

Ginny: Okay, go ahead and play.

(Harry, along with the musical's backing band, plays instrumental song, "Harry's Song")

Harry: (after finishing) So, what do you think, Ginny?

Ginny: (full of admiration) Oh, Harry, that was so beautiful. I felt my heart soar…

Harry: So, do think this could become the kind of thing that could make women like me?

Ginny: Oh, I think it already has.

Harry: Really? Cool! Because I'm writing this song for Cho, and I want to make sure it's perfect.

Ginny: (dumbfounded) Huh? What is your obsession with Cho? I mean, she clearly hates you, and will find no place in her heart for you, because she thinks you KILLED HER BOYFRIEND. Can't you see this isn't going to work out?

Harry: Oh, this is just a phase she's going through. She'll get better. I'm sure of it.

Ginny: (crushed) Oh… okay then… (sniffles, as if about to cry) I'm… I'm going to go to my dorm, and finish my… whatever… (exits)

Harry: Alright. Thanks for your help, Ginny! (enter Luna)

Luna: Hello, Harry. Wonderful night, isn't it? I heard that song, and it is very pretty.

Harry: Um… thanks, Luna. What are you doing up here?

Luna: I like to come up here, look at the stars, and have existential moments to myself.

Harry: Well, can I join you tonight?

Luna: Sure, Harry. That would be… nice. (both sit down next to each other, looking up)

Luna: (after a minute or two) You know, Cho seems to have grown a little darker these past weeks.

Harry: What do you mean by that?

Luna: Well, she spends most of her time in her dorm, talking to herself and drawing blueprints titled: "How to Ruin Harry's Life" or "How to Viciously Murder Harry and Leave No Evidence". I suggest you stop pining after her. You might be in grave danger, similar to when a Squirtle tries to get too close to a Raichu.

Harry: Well, I'll be sure to keep an eye open, but I imagine that this is just a phase she's going through in her grief.

Luna: Well, it's your life, Harry. If you want to live life on the edge chasing a psychotic woman, go ahead.

(stands up) But, if you want a real woman, come find me. I'll be waiting. (exit Luna)

Harry: …I wonder what that was all about. (sits quietly for a few seconds) …I wonder what Cho is doing.
