Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets Page #4

Scene 6:
Flourish and Blotts.

LOCATION:
Diagon Alley – Flourish and Blotts - daytime

OTHER:
Harry... Harry Potter...

MRS. WEASLEY:
Oh, Harry! Thank goodness! We’d hoped you’d only gone one grate

too far...

OTHER:
Ladies and gentlemen, Mr. Gilderoy Lockhart.

MRS. WEASLEY:
Ah! Here he is!

RON:
Mum fancies him.

PHOTOGRAPHER:
Make way there. Please! Let me by, madam. Thank you. Excuse me,

little girl. This is for the Daily Prophet.

PROFESSOR LOCKHART: It can’t be- Harry Potter?

PHOTOGRAPHER:
Harry Potter! Excuse me, madam.

PROFESSOR LOCKHART: Nice big smile, Harry. Together you and I rate the front

page! Ladies and gentlemen, what an extraordinary moment this is. When young

Harry stepped into Flourish and Blotts this morning to purchase my

autobiography, Magical Me,... which, incidentally is currently celebrating

its 27th week atop the Daily Prophet bestseller list, he had no idea that he

would, in fact, be leaving... with my entire collected works, free of charge.

Now, ladies?

MRS. WEASLEY:
Harry, now you give me those, and I’ll get them signed. All of

you wait outside. That’s it, Ron.

DRACO:
I’ll bet you loved that, didn’t you, Potter? Famous Harry Potter!

Can’t even go into a bookshop without making the front page.

GINNY:
Leave him alone.

DRACO:
Oh look, Potter. You’ve got yourself a girlfriend.

LUCIUS MALFOY:
Now, now Draco, play nicely. Mr. Potter... Lucius Malfoy. We

meet at last. Forgive me, your scar is legend, as, of course, is the wizard

who gave it to you.

HARRY:
Voldemort killed my parents. He was nothing more than a murderer.

LUCIUS MALFOY:
Hmm. You must be very brave, to mention his name...or very

foolish.

HERMIONE:
Fear of a name only increase fear of the thing itself.

LUCIUS MALFOY:
And you must be... Miss Granger. Yes, Draco’s told me all

about you, and your parents. Muggles, aren’t they? Let me see...red hair...

vacant expressions... tatty second hand book. You must be the Weasleys.

ARTHUR WEASLEY:
Children, it’s mad in here! Let’s go outside.

LUCIUS MALFOY:
Well, well, well. Weasley senior.

ARTHUR WEASLEY:
Lucius.

LUCIUS MALFOY:
Busy time at the Ministry, Arthur, all those extra raids? I do

hope they’re paying you overtime, but judging by the state of this, I’d say

not. What’s the use in being a disgrace to the name of wizard if they don’t

even pay you well for it.

ARTHUR WEASLEY:
We have a very different idea about what disgraces the name

of wizard, Malfoy.

LUCIUS MALFOY:
Clearly. Associating with Muggles... and I thought your family

could sink no lower. I’ll see you at work.

DRACO:
See you at school.
