Rita: She's scared (walking down the halls). We have her in the palm of our hands.
Man: You there Skeeter Dumbledore banned you from these premises...
Rita: Oh shoot. (clicks her fingers and is gone).
Man: Where'd she go?
Rita: (sighs and looks up at Hogwarts from outside). Those men I could just...sinister thought must not say that.
Luna: (sitting outside in the garden watching the sky, crows flying around her head).
Dumbledore: (voice travelling over the whole castle). Everyone to come to the great hall this instant! (hears nothing) That means now students!
Luna: (jumps to her feet and runs inside).
Dumbledore: Something terrible had happened...

Luna: (sits down at her house table and looks up).
Dumbledore: I am no longer your headmaster.
Rita: (appears at the back of the hall) Then who is?
Dumbledore: Dolores Umbridge.
Umbridge: (walks forward and smiles at the students) good evening.
Luna: (to herself) No way. This can't be happening.
All: (muttering among themselves).
Umbridge: (flicks a ray of screeching sounds towards them).
All: (screams and covers their ears).

Luna: (looks up as everyone leaves but Umbridge points at her).
Umbridge: You my office now!
Luna: Yes Madame.
Umbridge: (walks to her office and sits down).
Luna: (walks in after her and stays standing).
Umbridge: Sit down (gesturing).
Luna: I prefer to stand.
Umbridge: I said sit down! (waves her wand and the chair moves forwards so Luna is forced to sit upon it).
Luna: (looks at the chair then back at Umbridge).
Rita: (waiting outside the office trying to listen in).
Umbridge: (senses someone is listening in and sends a loud noise through the wood door. And straight into Rita's ears).
Rita: (pulls away and rubs her earlobe) What in the world. Oh that clever old witch!
Umbridge: Snoopy woman always going where she is not wanted.
Luna: Quite.
Umbridge: I am changing your classes.
Luna: Excuse me! (confused).
Umbridge: You don't need Potter distracting you.
Luna: You act as if I have some kind of crush on him...
Umbridge: Well I am not pointing fingers but (shrugs).
Rita: (smirks purses her lips and walks away jotting down everyword).

Luna: (later that day sees Rita and frowns sitting on a bench).
Rita: I don't want to ruin you. I just want to ruin her. That bloody woman. I hate her guts.
Luna: What reason have you to hate her?
Rita: Old teacher, she may look the same age as me but that Bitch was a living hell when I went here.
Luna: (curious) What house were you in?
Rita: Slytherin.
Luna: (shocked) Really?
Rita: Yeah (tucks her hair behind one ear).

Luna: That is amazing. I would never have guessed it.
Rita: Life is full of surprises.
Luna: I just hate her so much. (gestures with her marked hand).
Rita: who did that to you?
Luna: No one (lowers her head allowing blonde strands of hair to cover her face).
Rita: (pauses thinking) It was her wasn't it.
Luna: No!
Rita: Don't cover for her. It's her writing I know it is.
Luna: (even more curious then before). Did she ever do this to you?
Rita: (nods slowly and sighs). Except mine said. 'Greedy Gossip gets one nowhere'. It stung I can tell you.
Luna: I am sorry.
Rita: Don't be. I just know that soon I will see the day when she is fired. And I will enjoy it very much. I will sing from the mountins.
Luna: As will I.

Umbridge: (walks out and looks at them both). Go now both of you. Skeeter off these premises at once. Miss Lovegood to your dormitory.
Luna: (frowns and gets up walking towards the staircase).
Rita: (stands up) Haven't changed I see what a surprise. I knew you couldn't change. You'll always be that same old bag scaring us all senseless.
Umbridge: I said off the school grounds woman!
Rita: With pleasure. Spending another second in your company would most surely currupt my mind. (storms off down the halls).
Umbridge: (sighs and walks back to her office).
Luna: (looks up at the door of her room and sighs). Who is there?
Harry: Only me (smiles carefully raising his hand to greet her).

Luna: Oh Hi.
Harry: How are you feeling? I heard about Umbridge.
Luna: Oh you did (nervously).
Harry: Yeah. But don't worry everybody hates her.
Luna: (smiles and stands up). Thanks for checking on me but I really must be going now.
Harry: Where? It is night time. We are supposed to be in bed anytime soon.
Luna: I suppose so.
Harry: (walks inside and smiles at her).
Umbridge: (voice over every bedroom) Goodnight students (makes every door lock from the outside) pleasant dreams.
Luna: We're locked in! Unbelievable.
Harry: Least there is a big bed.
Luna: Only cause my father pays for me to have the best room.
Harry: Great we're stuck here (slumps down on the bed).
Luna: (does the same and sighs deeply).
Harry: (looks over at Luna and blushes).
Luna: I better go to sleep now.
Harry: You're right (smiles and leans forward kissing her gently on the lips).
Luna: (pulls away). Sorry Harry...I just...
Harry: No it's fine...fine fine. (nervously blushing).

Luna: I am so sorry (smiles gently and sits down on the bed).
Harry: (there is an awkward silence).
Luna: (the next day walking in the castle grounds).
Ron: (trying to catch up with her) Luna...Luna...
Luna: (holds her spells book in front of her chest and turns round slowly). Oh hello Ron.
Ron: I was just wondering if er...if you wanted to er...come to the...
Luna: (kisses his cheek) Yes. I will go to the ball with you. (smiles to herself and walks off).
Ron: (gobsmacked touches his cheek). Yes!
Rita: (sitting in Snape's office). I am glad we see eye to eye. For once.
Snape: That women wants us to teach by text books alone. She is mad! Mad I tell you. She knows nothing about the trade.
Rita: The trade (looks at him and sighs to herself). Well now I must be going. Things to do people to see.
Snape: People to see scandle to write...
Rita: Oh shut up!
Snape: (smirks) You look so sexy when you're angry.

Rita: Shut it now!
Snape: It's true. (smiles).
Rita: Do you want me to hit you with this handbag? (looks at her red leather bag swung across her shoulder).
Snape: Oh come on Rita you wouldn't hit me!
Rita: (grabs the bag into her hands and smacks his shoulder with it).
Snape: Hay!
Rita: (hits him again and again).
Snape: (grabs the bag and makes her freeze). Stop that.
Rita: (looks into his eyes deeply) You are so arrogant.
Snape: (drops her purse and pulls her closer). And you love it.

Rita: (sighs and stares at him) What are you doing?
Snape: What do you think I am doing? (smiles and leans forward).
Rita: (moves her face away from his).
Snape: (sighs and grabs her face pulling it towards him in a deep passionate kiss).
Luna: (walks to her room and goes searching through her closet for her dress). Where is it! (sighs and holds her head). Think Luna think. (sighs and waves her wand making her dress appear). There we are. Now was that not so much simpler.
Harry: Talking to yourself not a good sign.
Luna: (looks round and folds her arms across her chest) Oh Harry it's you.
Harry: You were expecting prince charming?
Luna: No. Not in this school.
Harry: So you found a date to the ball tomorrow night?
Luna: Ron's taking me.
Harry: Oh (surprised).
Luna: Yes he was a blabbering mess (giggles to herself) Why you weren't going to ask me were you?
Harry: Erm no. Of course I wasn't. That would of been silly (pauses) wouldn't it. (laughs).

Luna: I am sure you have many girls after you. You will find a date easy.
Harry: Most of them think I am weird.
Luna: oh no they don't. (smiles and looks at him). Now you have to go while I try on my dress.
Harry: Very well My lady (smiles and walks out slowly).
Luna: Oh shut up (smiles gently).
Rita: (looking at him as she sit upon his knee). Why me?
Snape: Because you are beautiful and smart. Amazingly talented. Wish me to continue the list?
Rita: No that's ok (smiles gently and cuddles up close to him).
Snape: I think I love you. (whispers into her ear).
Rita: (looks up quickly) what?

Snape: I love you.
Rita: I have to go (gets up and grabs her bag).
Snape: Rita! Wait...
Rita: I am not ready for this...
Snape: (grabs her arm) I just said I love you. What is wrong with that?
Rita: I need to get going I have a job to do. (walks out quickly).
Snape: Dammit (slams his hand down on the desk, his eyes glaring at the empty space in front of him).
Luna: (looking at herself in the mirror the night of the ball. Her dress is blue with white crystals).
Ron: You look amazing Luna.
Luna: Thank you and you look very handsome.
Ron: Thanks (smiles and takes her by the arm).
Rita: (sitting in the hall lighting up a cigarette. One leg crossed over the other. Wearing a short red dress with black shoes and black painted nails).
Snape: (takes the cigarette from her mouth).
Rita: (sighs and looks at him) What?
Snape: Talk to me.
Rita: No! (grabs her purse and walks across the room into a crowd of people).

Snape: Rita I demand you come back here right now! Rita...
Rita: (runs outside and into Luna) Oh beg pardon.
Luna: Rita (smiles).
Ron: Oh it's her.
Luna: Don't be like that Ron. She is nice when you get to know her.
Ron: Yeah right (sarcastically).
Rita: Don't worry I wont be writing some juicy front page item. One saying Luna Lovegood has a new boyfriend.
Luna: He is not my boyfriend. We are just eachothers date.
Ron: Will we ever you know? Be together as a couple?
Luna: We'll see...(smiles gently and walks inside with Ron holding his hand).
Rita: (sits down on a bench and sighs deeply).
Lucius: Rita Skeeter (smiles and sits down). What a pleasant surprise. Seeing you here this fine night.
Rita: Roll your tongue in Malfoy.
Lucius: (looks at her gently) Don't be like that Rita I am only being nice to you.
Rita: Nice! You! Ha! (bitterly).
Lucius: I just wanted to check you were safe. That's all.
Rita: As you can see I am perfectly well thankyou.
Lucius: Liar!
Rita: (turns her head round to face him. Her blonde curls bouncing as she does so). I beg your pardon.
Lucius: I know you're not alright. (stares at her and takes her hand). Let me put the colour back in your cheeks.
Rita: No thankyou (snatches her hand back away from his).
Lucius: (edges closer and captures her lips).
Snape: (watches from the shadows).

Lucius: (holds her close and kisses her again).
Rita: You have a wife.
Lucius: I don't care (kisses her again and again).
Snape: (grabs him from behind and throws him onto the floor). She is my woman Malfoy. Keep your hands off her. Understand!
Lucius: Rita tell this joker who I am.
Snape: She knows who you are now hop it!
Rita: Listen I am his girlfriend (looks at Snape). I am sorry Lucius. But that is the way it is.
Snape: See...
Lucius: Fine! (brushes himself off and walks towards Snape). I'll get you. You stole her away just when we were getting somewhere.
Snape: You only wanted one thing from her.
Lucius: That is not true. We used to date when we used to go here. I loved her then and I do now.
Snape: Go now! (shouts).
Lucius: Oh don't worry I am going. (storms off away from them and back inside).
Rita: I am sorry. (lowers her head). I didn't kiss him, he kissed me.
Snape: And I suppose you pushed him away! (angrily).
Rita: No and I know I should have. Forgive me.
Snape: (takes her hand and smiles) I do. Come one lets go home it is cold out here. (puts his long black jacket around her pale shoulders).
