Re: Fan Scripts: Script your own version of Harry Potter
Thanks for the input everyone! I'm glad you liked (most) of it and yeah the scene actually works well in my head but I'm not sure if I wrote it correctly or not :lol:
Btw keep up the work tking...you're doing a good job adding on to the movie...good idea :tu:
Well I may regret doing this now since it's first draft...early stages..and I have NO idea where I'm heading (I have an idea where i want to split it but who knows how that'll change as I write)..I will post what I have so far of my DH pt 1 script. Let me know what you guys think.
Quote:
EXT. HOGWARTS GROUNDS- EARLY MORNING
The scene slowly fades to a shot of HOGWARTS in the daylight. The scene then shifts then shifts to a shot of HARRY POTTER walking slowly through the grounds carrying a few of his bags. The camera pans to show him walking towards a WHITE TOMB. Harry sits down his bags and walks closer to the tomb and looks down upon it.
HARRY
It’s only been a few days and things are already different without you Dumbledore.
Harry places his hand on the tomb. He then takes a look at the LOCKET that is around his neck and sighs. The camera shifts to a view in front of Harry and we see two figures walking slowly down towards Harry. Harry turns around and notices HERMIONE GRANGER and RON WEASLEY both walking towards him.
HERMIONE
It’s time Harry.
EXT. HOGWARTS OUTER GATES-MOMENTS LATER
The scene cuts to Harry, Ron, and Hermione walking with a group of students heading towards Hogsmeade to go home for the summer. Harry pauses and turns around as everyone continues to walk. Ron and Hermione notice and turn back to check on him.
RON
Everything alright mate?
HARRY
I just wanted to have one last look at Hogwarts…who knows when I’ll be seeing it again.
We hear the whistle blow from the train and Harry slowly turns around and starts to walk towards the station.
EXT. TRAIN STATION-MOMENTS LATER
As Harry walks towards the train he notices GINNY WEASLEY a few feet ahead of him talking to LUNA LOVEGOOD. He watches her as she boards and then proceeds to follow Ron and Hermione on board. He pauses before he boards and looks out at Hogwarts again. We hear thunder crack and Harry looks up to notice that the sky is starting to fill with dark rain clouds. He sighs and gets on the train. The scene cuts to the HOGWARTS EXPRESS going down the tracks. The camera then pans up and goes through the dark clouds very quickly and we see the WB logo come towards the screen. Lightening flashes around the logo as the camera passes through it. The camera then pans down to show a village at night. We slowly pan down closer to the village and pass a hedge where we see a white peacock walking on top of it. The camera then approaches a huge gate that it goes through showing MALFOY MANOR behind it.
INT. MALFOY MANOR
The scene cuts to a shot of a floor as we see NAGINI slowly slither across it and we hear voices talking as we follow the snake which is slithering around feet under a table.
VOLDEMORT (Offscreen)
New’s Severus?
SNAPE (Offscreen)
The best my lord.
We see a hand reach out and Nagini slithers up the arm and the camera follows her and she slowly rests on the should of VOLDEMORT. He sits at the head of a table with a dark look in his eyes.
VOLDEMORT
What have you heard?
The camera shifts to show a group of Death Eaters sitting down the long table including SEVERUS SNAPE, BELLATRIX LESTRANGE, DRACO MALFOY, NARCISSA MALFOY, LUCIUS MALOY, YAXLEY, WORMTAIL, DOLOHOV, and a few other death eaters all looking towards the head of the table at Voldemort.
SNAPE
The Order of the Phoenix intends to move Harry Potter from his current place of safety on next Saturday, at nightfall.
VOLDEMORT
Saturday….
YAXLEY
I’ve also managed to imperius a few people within the Ministry of Magic my lord. Pretty soon the Ministry of Magic will be under your control….
VOLDEMORT
Yes but not before next Saturday….no…if we cannot touch the boy at his destination, then it must be done while he travels….
YAXLEY
We have several people planted within the Department of Magical Transport. If Potter Apparates or uses the Floo Network, we shall know immediately.
SNAPE
He will not do either. The Order is eschewing any form of transport that is controlled or regulated by the Ministry; they mistrust everything to do with that place.
We hear a wimper and the camera pans up to show a body slowly revolving over the table.
VOLDEMORT
I shall attend to the boy in person. There have been too many mistakes where Harry Potter is concerned. I have been careless but I know better now. I must be the one to kill Harry Potter, and I shall be. I can’t, however, use my wand since Potter and I share the same core…Lucius….
LUCIUS
Yes my lord?
VOLDEMORT
I require your wand.
Lucius and Narcissa cast a nervous look at each other and Lucius pulls out his wand and hands it to Voldemort. Voldemort examines the wand and smiles as he looks at it. He then looks up and Lucius who looks a bit uncomfortable.
VOLDEMORT
Why do the Malfoys look so unhappy with their lot? Is my return, my rise to power, not the very thing they professed to desire for so many years?
LUCIUS
Of course, my Lord. We did desire it….we do….
BELLATRIX
My Lord…it is an honor to have you here, in our family’s house. There can be no higher pleaser.
VOLDEMORT
That means a great deal, Bellatrix, from you.
She smiles at him with a look of longing in her eyes and once again we hear a whimper from the person rotating above the table.
VOLDEMORT
Wormtail! Have I spoken to you about keeping our prisoner quiet?
WORMTAIL
Yes..my…my…Lord….
VOLDEMORT
Do you recognize our guest Severus? Draco? This is of course one of the teachers at Hogwarts…she taught the course…ah Muggle Studies am I correct?
He looks over at Draco who nods slightly and a smile draws across Voldemorts face.
CHARITY BURBAGE
Severus…please….please….
We hear Nagini say something in parseltongue and the smile on Voldemorts face grows wider.
VOLDEMORT
It seems Nagini is hungry….
He looks up at Charity and smiles and tears start to fall quickly from her eyes. Voldemort points his wand at Burbage.
VOLDEMORT
Avada Kadavra!
A green spell flies out of the wand and the entire screen goes green and the words ‘HARRY POTTER AND THE DEATHLY HALLOWS PT. 1’ appear on the screen. As the words fade we see a shot of the moon and the camera pans down to a shot of Little Whinging. The camera slowly pans down towards the Dursleys house and goes through the window into Harry Potter’s room.
INT. HARRY’S BEDROOM-NIGHT
We see Harry sitting at his desk. He is reading ‘The Daily Prophet’ and we see the text that he is reading says ‘ALBUM DUMBLEDORE REMEMBERED’ and a picture of Dumbledore glaring up at us is shown. He hears a hoot and Harry looks over to HEDWIG in her cage.
HARRY
You’ll be able to get out soon enough Hedwig. It’s to dangerous right now….
VERNON DURSLEY (Offscreen)
HARRY POTTER!!!
Harry sighs as he closes the newspaper and walks out of his room.
INT. DURSLEYS LIVING ROOM-MOMENTS LATER
The scene cuts to VERNON, PETUNIA, AND DUDLEY DURSLEY standing in the living room. Harry walks into the room..
HARRY
What is it?
VERNON
I’ve changed my mind. I’ve decided I don’t believe a word of it. We’re staying put, we’re not going anywhere.
HARRY
This is for your own good. Once I’m seventeen, the protective charm that Dumbledore put on this house will break and that exposes you as well as me. You’ve got to go into hiding and the Order wants to help. You’re being offered serious protection….
VERNON
Why can’t that…Ministry of Magic...protect us?
HARRY
We think the Ministry has been infiltrated that’s why….
VERNON
But what about my work? What about Dudley’s school? I don’t suppose those things matter to a bunch of layabout wizards….
HARRY
Don’t you understand? They will torture and kill you like they did my parents!
DUDLEY
Dad…I’m going with these Order people.
They all look over at Dudley and Harry gives him a slight smile as we hear a knock on the door. Harry opens the door and in walks HESTIA and DEDALUS
HESTIA
Harry Potter!
DEDALUS
An honor, as ever!
HARRY
Thanks…come on in. Well here they are. My aunt and uncle and cousin….
DEDALUS
Good day to you, Harry Potter relatives!
HESTIA
So is everything ready to go?
HARRY
Yes.
The Dursleys all grab their bags in that are sitting in the hallway.
VERNON
Well, this is good-bye, then, boy.
PETUNIA
Ready, Diddy?
She looks at Dudley who is staring at Harry.
VERNON
Come along, then….
DUDLEY
I don’t understand. Why isn’t Harry coming with us? Where is he going to go?
Vernon and Petunia both look at each other nervously.
HESTIA
Surely you must know where your nephew is going?
HARRY
They don’t…they don’t know anything about me…they think I’m a waste of space but I’m used to….
DUDLEY
I don’t think you’re a waste of space.
Everyone looks up at Dudley with shock in their eyes.
HARRY
Well….um…thanks Dudley.
DUDLEY
You saved my life….
VERNON
Are we going or not? I thought we were on a tight schedule?
DEDALUS
That we are! We really must be off. Good luck Harry Potter. I hope we meet again. The hopes of the Wizarding world rest upon your shoulders.
HESTIA
Farewell, Harry, our thoughts go with you.
They all begin to exit and Dudley walks over to Harry and holds out his hand.
HARRY
Blimey Dudley did the dementors blow a different personality into you?
DUDLEY
Dunno…see you, Harry.
Harry takes his hand and shakes it.
HARRY
Yeah…maybe…take care, Big D.
Dudley and Harry both smile at each other and Dudley grabs his bags and exits. Petunia and Harry stand alone together in the hallway.
PETUNIA
Well…good bye….
HARRY
Good-bye.
She walks towards the door and pauses. She looks back at Harry as if she wanted to say something but turns and closes the door behind her leaving Harry standing alone in the house.
The scene fades to Harry sitting his firebolt in the living room along with all his other bags. He looks around at the place and starts to talk to Hedwig who is sittig on the table in the middle of the room.
HARRY
I can’t believe this is the last time I’ll be here…not that I’ll miss it much. Look Hedwig…that’s where I used to sleep. You never knew me then….it’s so small…I’d forgotten….
Hedwig hoots and Harry walks over to her cage and strokes her beak with his finger.
Harry
Soon you’ll be able to fly as much as you want Hedwig…
BOOM there’s a crash in the kitchen and Harry turns around quickly. He slowly walks into the kitchen.
INT. DURSLEY’S KITCHEN-MOMENTS LATER
Harry walks into the kitchen and notices standing there is Ron, Hermione, FRED AND GEORGE WEASLEY, MR. WEASLEY, MAD-EYE MOODY, TONKS, LUPIN, KINGSLEY, MUNDUNGUS FLETCHER, and HAGRID standing there. Everyone smiles at him as he walks into the kitchen.
HAGRID
All righ’ Harry? Ready fer the off?
HARRY
I wasn’t expecting this many of you….
MOODY
Change of plan. Since You-Know-Who has contacts inside the Ministry now it’ll be impossible to use magic around you.
HARRY
What do you mean?
MOODY
You’re underage! If you, or anyone around you, casts a spell to get you out of here the Death Eaters will know about it.
HARRY
So what are we going to do?
MOODY
We’re going to use the only means of transport left to us, the only one’s the Trace can’t detect. Hagrid has his motorbike…we’ll have to use brooms and thestrals. Now, your mother’s charm will only break under two conditions: when you come of age or you no longer call this place home. Once you leave here tonight the charm will be broken.
TONKS
You’ll be going to my parent’s house Harry. Once you’re within the boundaries of the protective enchantments we’ve put on their house, you’ll be able to use a Portkey to the Burrow.
HARRY
There’s one problem though…won’t it be obvious if all of us are flying there?
MOODY
I forgot to mention...there will be seven Harry Potters moving through the skies tonight.
He reaches into his cloak and pulls out a flask.
HARRY
No! No way! That’s polyjuice potion isn’t it? If you think I’m going to let six people risk their lives….
RON
Because it’s the first time for all of us….
HARRY
This is different….pretending to be me….
FRED
Well, none of us really fancy it, harry. Imagine if something went wrong and we were stuck as specky, scrawny gits forever.
MOODY
Now lets have a few of your hairs boy! The only way to get you out of here safely is to have decoys!
HARRY
But…..
Moody walks over and plucks a few hairs out of Harry’s head.
MOODY
Right then…fake Potters line up over here, please.
Ron, Hermione, Fred, George, Mr. Weasley, and Mundungus all walk to the other side of the kitchen. Harry looks oddly at Mundungus.
HARRY
Who are you?
MUNDUNGUS
Well….um….
MOODY
Mundungus Fletcher. Ruddy coward if you ask me! This was his wild idea so we thought we’d bring him along.
Mundungus looks nervously up at Moody who hands each of them a small glass full of the polyjuice potion.
MOODY
Altogether, then….
All of them take a drink of it and then slowly begin to form into Harry in front of our eyes. Harry’s eyes widen as he looks in front of him and six other Harry Potters are glaring back at him. Fred and George both look at each other.
FRED and GEORGE
Wow…we’re identical!
HERMIONE
Harry, your eyesight really is awful.
MOODY
Now get dressed you lot and we’ll meet you outside!
EXT. DURSLEY’S BACKYARD-MOMENTS LATER
The six Harry Potters walk out of the house towards the rest of them.
MOODY
Good. Now Mundungus you will be traveling with me, by broom…..
MUNDUNGUS
Why’m I with you?
MOODY
Because you’re the one that needs watching.
HAGRID
You’re with me, Harry. That all righ? We’ll be on the bike, brooms an’ thestrals can’t take me weight, see. Not a lot o’ room on the seat with me on it, thought, so you’ll be in the sideccare.
HARRY
Great…..
MOODY
All right then everyone on your transport!
We see all the different Harry’s getting on their transports. The real Harry takes Hedwig and puts her in the sidecar before he gets in.
HARRY
Hagrid…is this Sirius’s bike?
HAGRID
The very same. An’ last time yeh was on it, Harry, I could fit yeh in one hand!
MOODY
Good luck everyone, see you all in about an hour at the Burrow. On the count of thre. One….two…THREE!
Hagrid starts up the motorbike and SWOOSH they are up in the air. Harry looks back to see everyone else going off in different directions. They continue to rise higher into the air then SWOOSH out of no where about thirty hooded figured appear out of no where. Spells begin to start flying through the air. Hagrid quicky turns the bike and Harry holds on as most of his possessions and Hedwigs cage fall out of the sidecar.
HARRY
No…HEDWIG!
Harry reaches out and grabs the top of the cage in time but suddenly BOOM a green light hits the cage and Hedwig falls lifeless to the bottom of the cage.
HARRY
No…NO! Hedwig….Hedwig….
Harry holds the cage close to his chest as Hagrid continues to dodge the spells flying all around them. Harry looks back and notices Death Eathers closing in on all the others.
HARRY
Hagrid, we’ve got to go back. TURN AROUND!
HAGRID
My job’s ter get you there safe, Harry!
HARRY
Stop…STOP!
Hagrid continues to fly as a few Death Eaters chase them.
HARRY
Stupefy!
A spell flies from Harry’s wand and the Death Eaters scatter to avoid it.
HAGRID
Hold on, Harry, this’ll do for em!
Hagrid presses a green button near the fuel gage and out of no where bricks start flying out of the tail pipe and BAM hits one of the them in the head and he flies backwards off his broom. The other Death Eaters simply blow up the bricks as they fly towards them. The scene shifts to Moody on his broom with Mundungus holding on for life. They continue to avoid spells thrown at them.
MOODY
Take this!
He throws a spell at one of the Death Eaters and they are thrown back off of their broom.
MUNDUNGUS
How did they find out Moody!
MOODY
Shut up Mundungus!
SWOOSH there is a poof of smoke and appearing behind them is Voldemort himself flying quickly towards them.
MUNDUNGUS
It’s him. HE’S HERE MOODY! I can’t…he’ll kill me….
MOODY
Flecher you coward shut up and hold on!
Swoosh Moody turns quicky avoiding a spell. Voldemort pulls out a wand and points it at Mundungus.
MUNDUNGUS
No…..
VOLDEMORT
Avada…..
MUNDUNGUS
I didn’t sign on for this!
He closes his eyes and SWOOSH he is gone.
MOODY
FLETCHER!!!
VOLDEMORT
Kadavra!
BAM the spell hits Moody who falls off of his broom and Voldemort evaporates in a poof of smoke.
The scene cuts back to Harry and Hagrid still avoiding spells in the air.
HAGRID
Hold on Harry!
Hagrid presses the button again and BAM dragon fire burst from the exhaust and the motorbike shoots forwards. The sidecar begins to sway from the force and twisting violently.
HAGRID
I’m on it, Harry, don’ worry!
Hagrid pulls out his pink umbrella and points it at the side car.
HARRY
Hagrid! No! Let me!
HAGRID
REPARO!
BOOM the spell hits the sidecar but instead of fixing it it blasts it away from the bike and Harry, along with the sidecar, begin to fall. Spells continue to hit the sidecar as Harry falls. He looks up and notices Hagrid had turned around and is flying towards him. Harry turns around and throws a spell at a coming Death Eater that he avoided but ran into another Death Eater knocking him off the his broom. Hagrids hand reaches down and grabs Harry pulling him onto the bike as the sidecar continues to fall. Harry looks down at the falling sidecar.
HARRY
Confringo!
BAM the sidecar explodes and Harry looks away from the sight. The blast knocked a Death Eater back and the other vanished.
HAGRID
Harry, I’m sorry, I’m sorry. I shouldn’ta tried ter repair it meself….yeh’ve got no room….
HARRY
It’s not a problem, just keep flying….
Once again Death Eaters appear and start throwing spells at them. Harry blocks a few of them and throws a counter jinx at one knocking his hood off and recognizes STAN SHUNPIKE.
HARRY
Stan?
Stan points his wand at Harry, a blank look in his eyes.
HARRY
Expelliarmus!
STAN
That’s him, it’s him, it’s the real one!
All the death eaters stop following and disappear as Hagrid and Harry continue to fly quickly through the air.
HAGRID
Harry, what’s happened? Where’ve they gone?
HARRY
I don’t know!
HAGRID
Hold on Harry…we’re almost…..
Harry lets out a scream of pain as he grabs his scar. Then SWOOSH Voldemort appears flying quickly towards them with a look of anger in his eyes. Hagrid starts to descend on the bike and Harry holds on for dear life. A Death Eater pulls out his wand and is inches away from them.
HAGRID
NO!!!!
Hagrid lunges off the bike and onto the Death Eater and they both fall towards the earth. Harry, eyes closed, begins to scream out in pain.
VOLDEMORT
Avada….
Harry’s wand points at Voldemort then BOOM a spurt of golden fire shots out hitting the remaining Death Eater.
VOLEMORT
No!
Harry pushes the green button and BOOM the bike accelerates again. Harry looks back and notices Voldemort taking another Death Eaters wand and flying towards him and then he stops and SWOOSH hi vanished. Harry looks down and notices Hagrid spread eagle on the ground.
HARRY
Hagrid!
He pulls back on the handle bars but it continues to head quickly towards the ground. Harry lets out a scream and the screen goes black.
INT. TONKS RESIDENCE-LIVING ROOM-MOMENTS LATER
TED TONKS (Offscreen)
Harry…Harry Potter…
Harry opens his eyes and see’s TED TONKS looking down on him. He sits up slowly and notices he’s sitting in a living room.
HARRY
Hagrid….
TED
He’s fine, son. The wife’s seeing to him now. How are you feeling? I’m Ted Tonks, Dora’s father.
HARRY
But….Voldemort….the Death Eaters….
TED
Hagrid told us everything and you’re fine. The protection we have up around our house stopped thm, they shouldn’t be able to get within a hundred yards of here.
Harry looks up as Hagrid and ANDROMEDA TONKS walk into the room.
HAGRID
Alrigh’ Harry?
HARRY
Fine….
TED
This is my wife Harry.
HARRY
Nice to meet you…Thanks for your help, both of you.
TED
Don’t mention it! Now you two should get off to the Portkey as soon as possible. Send Dora I love won’t you? Tell her we’re so proud of her.
HARRY
Proud?
TED
Yes…didn’t you hear? Dora and Remus Lupin got married?
HARRY
I didn’t….
Ted walks over and points to a small siver backed hairbrush laying on the table.
TED
There’s your Portkey.
He walks back over and grabs his wife’s arm. Harry and Hagrid both look at each other and put their hands on the Portkey. They both look at each other a moment and then SWOOSH they are gone.
EXT. THE BURROW-NIGHT
The scene cuts to a shot of the Burrow in the distance and SWOOSH Harry and Hagrid both appear and fall onto the ground. We see a light come on in the distance and figures start to run out of the house.
HAGRID
Alrigh’ Harry?
HARRY
Fine….
Harry notices MRS. WEASLEY and GINNY running quickly towards them. Mrs. Weasley throws her arms around Harry quickly.
MRS. WEASLEY
Thank goodness you’re all right!
HARRY
Is everyone else okay?
MRS. WEASLEY
I’m afraid not, come in dear. We’ll fill you in on everything.
INT. THE BURROW-LIVING ROOM-MOMENTS LATER
Harry walks into the living room and everyone looks up at him. He notices George lying on the couch with a bandage around his head.
HARRY
What happened to him?
GINNY
Snape used the Sectumsempra spell on him, took his ear clean off.
Lupin jumps up and rushes towards Harry, placing his hands firmly on his shoulders and looking into his eyes.
LUPIN
What creature sat in the corner the first time Harry Potter visited my office at Hogwarts!
HARRY
A…a grindylow in a tank, wasn’t it?
LUPIN
It’s him…We’ve been betrayed Harry. Voldemort knew that you were being moved tonight...someone…
HARRY
None of the Order would have told Voldemort we were moving tonight. He only caught up with me towards the end…
TONKS
He caught up with you?
RON
Blimey Harry how did you escape?
LUPIN
Not only that, but how did they figure out it was you.
HARRY
I…well…I don’t’ know really. I saw Stan Shunpike, remember he drove the Knight Bus. And I tried to disarm him instead of….well…he doesn’t know what he’s dong does he? He must’ve been Imperiused.
LUPIN
Harry, the time for Disarming is past! These people are trying to kill you! Atleast Stun if you aren’t prepared to kill!
HARRY
We were hundreds of feet up! Stan’s not himself and if I stunned him and he’d fallen, he’d have died the same as if I’d used Avada Kadavra!
LUPIN
You’re missing the point Harry…
HARRY
Am I? Correct me if I’m wrong but Expelliarmus saved me from Voldemort two years ago! I won’t blast people out of my way just because they’re there, that’s Voldemorts job!
They all stare at Harry who looks around the room and notices someone missing.
HARRY
Where’s Moody?
Everyone’s head drops at the mention of his name.
KINGSLEY
He didn’t make it Harry.
Harry turns around from all of them in the state of shock.
HARRY
I can’t stay here. You’re all in danger while I’m here. I don’t want…
MRS. WEASLEY
Don’t be silly! The whole point tonight was to get you here safely.
HAGRID
Yer not goin’ anywhere…
MR. WEASLEY
Look at what we went through to get you here.
GEORGE
Yeah, what about my bleeding ear?
They all turn and look at George who’s just awakened.
FRED
Are you all right?
GEORGE
Yeah, I feel saint like actually. You see brother…I’m holy. Holey
(He points at his missing ear)
Get it?
FRED
With the whole wide world of ear related humor before you, you go for holey?
HAGRID
See ‘arry you can’t go
GEORGE
Ear, Ear!
FRED
That’s better!
HARRY
Fine I’ll…stay. Is it alright if I go to bed?
MRS. WEASLEY
Of course dear. Do you want me to fetch Hedwig for you, I’ll put her up with the other owls.
Harry eyes fell. He hadn’t thought about it and it seems everyone else in the room
HARRY
Can I please…just go to sleep…
He turns and walks up the stairs leaving everyone in the living room.
INT. THE BURROW-RON’S ROOM-NIGHT
The scene cuts to Harry stirring in his sleep. Suddenly there is a FLASH
INT. MALFOY MANOR-DUNGEON-NIGHT
There is a man shown on the floor crying out in pain. He looks up and we see that it is OLLIVANDER. We then see Voldemort step into frame.
VOLDEMORT
CRUCIO!!
Ollivander screams out in pain as Voldemort stands over him cleary angry.
VOLDEMORT
You lied to Lord Voldemort Ollivander. You said that since Potter and I have the same core in our wands we won’t be able to fight one another, and that if I change wands I could destroy him.
OLLIVANDER
Please...no…I swear...I thought I thought…
VOLDEMORT
Lies! You sought to help him, to help him escape…me….
OLLIVANDER
The connection…. exists only between your two wands….
VOLDEMORT
Really?
He throws Lucius’s broken wand down in front of Ollivander
VOLDEMORT
Explain this then.
OLLIVANDER
No…I…I….
Voldemort points the wand at Ollivander again who starts to scream out in agony and FLASH
INT. THE BURROW-RONS ROOM-MOMENTS LATER
Harry opens his eyes and sits up panting hard.
INT. THE BURROW-ROOMS ROOM-MORNING’
The scene cuts to a shot of the Burrow in the morning. We then hear Hermione’s voice as the scene cuts to Harry sitting on his bed and Ron and Hermione are sitting across from him.
HERMIONE
Your scar wasn’t supposed to do that anymore Harry! You mustn’t let that connection open up again, Dumbledore wanted you to close your mind. Don’t let him get inside your head!
RON
And you say your wand acted on it’s on to destroy him?
HERMIONE
That’s impossible, I’m sure Harry just reacted instinctively.
HARRY
No Hermione, I’m telling you it wasn’t a spell I recognized. It’s like my wand had a power of it’s own….
There’s a knock on the door and Harry turns around and standing there with a birthday cake is Mrs. Weasley and Ginny.
MRS. WEASLEY, RON, GINNY and HERMIONE
Surprise!!
Ron pats him on the back and Hermione jumps up and hugs him before walking past Mrs. Weasley and Ginny out of the room.
RON
Didn’t think we’d forgotten your birthday did you mate?
HARRY
Yes, I’d forgotten myself. I’m seventeen!
RON
Which means you can do magic whenever you want now. Give it a go.
HARRY
Ok…
Notices a book near Ron’s bed
HARRY
Accio Book!
The book flies towards Harry and he catches it and reads the title.
HARRY
Twelve Fail-Safe Ways to Charm Witches…what…
Ron quickly grabs the book and stuffs it under his pillow.
MRS. WEASLEY
Yes, well come on down stairs dear everyone’s waiting!
She turns to leave and they all walk out of the room. Before heading downstairs Ginny grabs him by the arm.
GINNY
We need to talk.
They both back away and Ron turns around as they both walk into Ginny’s room and closes the door.
INT. THE BURROW-GINNY’S ROOM-MOMENTS LATER
The scene cuts to Ginny walking up to her window and looking out of it. Harry gazes around her room for a moment in silence.
GINNY
Happy seventeenth Harry.
She turns around and faces him.
GINNY
I couldn’t think of what to get you. I know you, Ron, and Hermione are taking off soon on some mission and…I didn’t know what would be useful.
HARRY
Ginny….
GINNY
Nothing too big, because you wouldn’t be able to take it with you. So then I thought, I’d like you to have something to remember me by, you know…just in case you meet someone else while you’re off doing whatever.
HARRY
I think dating opportunities are going to be pretty thin to be honest.
GINNY
There’s the silver lining I’ve been looking for
Ginny reaches in and kisses Harry. They continue to kiss until the door opens and Ron walks in. They break apart and stare at him.
RON
Oh…I was um…sent to fetch Harry.
Ginny walks out of the room and turns around.
GINNY
Happy birthday anyway, Harry.
She gives a slight smile and walks down the hall. Harry tries to walk out but Ron blocks his way.
RON
You ditched her. What are you doing now, messing her around?
HARRY
I’m not messing her around Ron….
RON
She was really cut up when you ended it…
HARRY
So was I. You know why I stopped it, and it wasn’t because I wanted to…
RON
Yeah? But you go snogging her now and she’s just going to get her hopes up again if you keep groping her every chance you get…
HARRY
It won’t happen again okay?
RON
Right then…well…everyone’s waiting…
Ron turns to walk downstairs and Harry follows.
