Harry Potter and the Discontinuity Factor
Act 2, Scene 2
(enter Malfoy Manor common room with a frightened, yet brave and determined Draco and Cho sitting on a couch, with Draco squirming uncomfortably in the chair)
Cho: (after some silence) So… when is this guy supposed to be showing up?
Draco: Well, he said he'd be here by eight, so any minute now he'll come bursting through the door. (door at the side of the stage is kicked open, Voldemort jumps through opened door with Bellatrix following behind)
Draco: (hurriedly jumps up) All hail the Dark Lord.
Cho: (wide-eyed) So he is back…
Voldemort: Hello, Draco. I see your father has taught you well on respect. The other however… Crucio! (Draco jumps in the way of the spell, begins to scream in pain)
Draco: Please, my lord, she is new to the dark side! She is not aware of your requirements!
Voldemort: (puts wand down, ending the spell) Well, then, to whom do I owe the pleasure?
Cho: Ch-Cho Chang, Mr. Voldemort, sir.
Bellatrix: You are to refer to him as "My Lord" or "My Master", you ungrateful little girl!
Voldemort: Bellatrix! Show some respect to our new recruit. (turns to Cho) Sorry about that one. I made her my right hand servant, and it gets to her head sometimes. So, young Malfoy tells me that you're the one who brought Harry here. I must commend you for your work. That was quite the stunt you pulled off.
Cho: Why, thank you, my lord. All for the revenge I must exact on him.
Voldemort: Hmm? You have me curious. What did Potter boy do to spite you so?
Cho: He… he killed my boyfriend. (suspicious) But now… I'm not so sure. I hadn't believed you were back, so…
Voldemort: Aha! I see your confusion, child. Understand this. By the time I had come back to life, Cedric was already dead, and Harry was right next to him, wand at the ready.
Cho: (still suspicious) How do I know that you're not lying to me?
Voldemort: (hand up, as if in court, smug) I vow on my magic that all I have said is true. Should I be lying, let my magic leave me now. (silence)
Cho: So he did do it. That… that MONSTER!
Voldemort: That's right, Chang, that's right. Let the anger flow through you. Now, what is it that you want to do?
Cho: I want to go down to the dungeon and kill Harry Potter!
Voldemort: Well, someone's a bit eager. But no, one must have fun with their prey before going in for the kill. For example, Crucio! (Voldemort casts the Crucio on Cho) Do you see now? If you channel your anger into a Crucio spell, you will find much more enjoyment in your revenge, watching your prisoner suffer. (evil laughing)
Cho: N-n-no! My lord, what have I done to anger you?
Voldemort: Now, my dear, this is not anger towards you. This is but a demonstration on the power of anger and fear.
Draco: (worried) Please, my lord, don't hurt Cho!
Voldemort: Hmm… what do we have here? A little budding romance between my followers? How cute.
Draco: (defensive) No, it's nothing like that, Dark Lord, it's merely that she is integral to this plan!
Bellatrix: How dare you question the Dark Lord's plans! You should be punished for your insolence!
Cho: AGH! My lord, please! Make it stop, it hurts so much! (Voldemort puts down his wand without noticing, but quickly realizes what has happened)
Voldemort: What has happened to me? This is…
Bellatrix: My lord! What is wrong? Is there something I can do to make your highness more pleased?
Voldemort: (excessively angry and violent) No! I'm off to my room. I need to have a chat with a couple of bumbling idiots! Those two are going to be very unhappy very soon. (exit Voldemort, muttering swears)
Bellatrix: (turns to Cho) What did you do to Lord Voldemort, girl? Answer me!
Cho: (frightened) I did nothing, I swear! I don't know what's going on!
Bellatrix: Well, I'm going to look into this. If I find out that you're up to something, you may find yourself in an unappealing situation. (turns and walks away dramatically)
Cho: …hey, Draco?
Draco: (coming to his senses) Oh, yes, Cho?
Cho: I just wanted to say, thanks, you know, for sticking up for me.
Draco: It's… it's no problem at all, Cho. We're in this together, right? Partners?
Cho: Right. Well, I'm off to bed. It's been a long night, and I want to be well rested for tomorrow's torture. Good night, Draco. (exit Cho, same way as Voldemort exits)
Draco: (waving) Good night, Cho. (sigh) (exit Draco, opposite of Voldemort and Cho)
(enter Voldemort's chambers, with a very angry Voldemort, and a very shamed Moody and Snape duo)
Voldemort: …and her words made me stop torturing her! What is happening to me? I'm sure you two are to blame for this, since you're the ones who resurrected me. So what happened in the graveyard?! What did you two idiots screw up this time?!
Snape: Understand, my lord, that any actions to weaken you were unintentional, in fact we-
Voldemort: I don't want excuses, I want answers, damn it! What happened in the resurrection process?!
Moody: Well, when we got to the site, Harry was there, as expected, but you remember the spare boy?
Voldemort: (impatient) Yes, yes, the Diggory boy our dear Miss Chang is all angsty about. What about him?
Snape: He had… vomited… into your chamber pot. Turns out his gag reflex was right where the portkey pulls, so it's instant vomit for the boy.
Voldemort: What?! Are you trying to tell me that a child's vomit is swimming inside of me as we speak?! Ugh…
Moody: We've looked into this some more, and it seems as if this Cedric boy and Miss Chang were bonded. You know, soul mates. So therefore, the two were to tied to each other.
Voldemort: (now slightly worried) You don't mean…
Moody: I'm afraid that's how it is, my lord. You are now partially bonded to Cho Chang, meaning that you're submissive to her bidding.
Voldemort: NOOOOOOOO! We mustn't let the girl know of this! We can't let her find out that she has control over me!
Snape: (mockingly) If you were any louder, she probably would've heard you. Especially if she was staying in the adjoining room.
Moody: Isn't she though? I mean, isn't Malfoy on one side and Cho on the other?
Cho: (offstage) (evil laughter) Oh Voldemort… I think we have something to discuss…
(all look at each other in horror)
