Enter Millie, pacing, looking worried, with Luna, Ginny and Parvati.
Millie: It was nine o'clock when I sent the nurse. She promised she would come in half an hour.
Ginny: What if she doesn't meet him?
Millie: That's not possible. I can feel my fangs popping out because of the nerves.
Millie's nails start growing and she starts getting fur on her arm. She takes a few deep breaths and it stops.
Luna: Oh, she is lame! Love's messages should be thoughts, which travel ten times faster than the sun's beams.
Ginny: It's twelve now. Three hours and she is still not here.
Parvati: If she was passionate and young, she would be as fast as a rubber ball.
Millie: Oh Godric! Here she comes.
Enter Madame Pomfrey looking quite tired and exhausted. She hurriedly sits on Millie's bed.
Millie: Sweet nurse, what news do you bring? Oh Godric, why do you look so sad?
Madame Pomfrey: I am tired: leave me alone for a while. Oh, how my bones ache!
Millie: I wish you had my bones, and I had your news: but please, speak good nurse!
Madame Pomfrey: Oh what haste! Can't you wait for a bit? Can't you see I'm out of breath?
Millie: How are you out of breath, when you had breath to tell me you are out of breath? Just let me be satisfied, is it good or bad?
Madame Pomfrey: Oh Helga, how my head aches! My back- O, my back!
Millie: I'm sorry that you aren't well. Sweet, sweet nurse, tell me, what does my love say?
Madame Pomfrey: Your love says, like an honest gentleman- Where is your mother?
Millie: Where is my mother? What an odd reply! "You love says like an honest gentleman, where is your mother?"
Millie: What did Harry say?
Madame Pomfrey: Have you got leave to go to confession today?
Millie: I have.
Madame Pomfrey: Then off you go to Albus Dumbledore's house; there you'll find a husband to make you a wife.
Exit
