Enter Hermione, Ron, Regulas and Sirius huddled together so as not to attract attention.
Ron: Where the heck is Harry? Did he not go home last night?
Sirius: Not to James.
Regulas: Draco, the nephew of Lupin, has sent a letter to their house.
Ron: A challenge on my life.
Hermione: Harry will answer it.
Ron: Anyone who can write can answer a letter.
Hermione: No, he will answer Draco. How he dares to be dared.
Ron: Poor Harry! Is he man enough to dual Draco?
Hermione: Why, what's wrong with Draco?
Ron: He's more than the Slytherin Prince I tell you. He duels as you read- keeps time, distance and proportion.
Enter Harry looking happier than before. He joins the others.
Ron: Mr. Potter! You gave us the counterfeit early last night!
Harry: Good morning to you two. What counterfeit did I give you?
Ron: The slip, sir, the slip; do you not conceive?
Enter Madame Pomfrey holding her fan.
Ron: Why, here is goodly gear!
Hermione: A sail! A sail!
Ron: A fan to hide her face: for her fans the prettier face.
Madame Pomfrey: Good morning gentlemen!
Ron: Fair gentlewoman!
Madame Pomfrey: Gentlemen, can any of you tell me where I may find Harry?
Hermione: (To Harry) What did you do?
Harry: (To Madame Pomfrey) That's my name.
Madame Pomfrey: If you are him sir, I want some confidence in you.
Harry: I'll follow you.
Ron: Farewell, ancient lady! Till we meet again!
Exit Hermione, Regulas and Sirius looking embarrassed. Ron quickly follows after them.
Madame Pomfrey: I beg you sir, my young lady made me ask you- but let me tell you first: if you are cheating with her, it would be a very ill thing to do.
Harry: Madame, tell her to come to confession this afternoon. And there she shall get married at Albus Dumbledore's house.
Exit
