SCENE 24: THE TRUTH

(1862-2024.)

Having called for all of the teachers to immediately meet up at the stated location, Mike is joined by... two other professors, the caretaker, and the school nurse.

	PROFESSOR MIKE: "All The People Saw, The Bleed Of Slizelin Left A Messege Again. The Deepest Fear Is Going To Come True. One Of The Students Was Caught And Into The Room. We Must Send All The Students Back Home.
			Hogawalz Is Going To Be Closed For Ever."

Loha joins the crowd, fashionable late as usual.

	MR. LORD LOHA: "Sorry... Did I Miss Something?"

	PROFESSOR SNELL: "One Of The Students Was Caught. This Is Your Show Time."

	MR. LORD LOHA: "Show...Show Time?"

	PROFESSOR SNELL: "Did You Say That Last Night You Always Know Where The Entrance Is?"

	PROFESSOR MIKE: "Good, Bother You. Go Alone To Fight With The Evil. We Have Never Seen Your Skill."

(I admit, I really do like the unintentional(?) double entendre here.)

	MR. LORD LOHA: "No Problem. En,,,I Have To Go Back To My Office, Get Ready."

Loha leaves.

	MRS. PONRI: "Who Was Caught By The Evil?"

	PROFESSOR MIKE: "Jimny Welsly."

The teachers leave. Hally and Lean stare at the message in shock.

	LEAN WISLIN: "Her Bones Will Be Left In The Room Forever... Jimny."

Hally and Lean start running toward Loha's office.

	HALLY PORTER: "Hardlod May Be Useless But He Is Going To The Room! We Go To Tell All We Know Tell Him!"

They enter Loha's office, finding him in the process of packing his bags.

	HALLY PORTER: "Professor, We Have Something To Tell You! ...Are You Leaving?"

	MR. LORD LOHA: "En Yes... En I Have Something Urgent! I Have To Go I Have To!"

	LEAN WISLIN: "How About My Sister?!"

	MR. LORD LOHA: "Abou This Unfortune Thing, Nobody Is More Sad Than I Am..."

	LEAN WISLIN: "You Are The Professor! You Can'T Go Like That!"

	MR. LORD LOHA: "I Have To Say, When I Got This Job, It Didn'T Say That..."

	HALLY PORTER: "You Are Escaping?! But Your Book Describes You To Be A Great Man!"

	MR. LORD LOHA: "That'S A Misunderstanding..."

	HALLY PORTER: "That'S What You Wrote!"

	MR. LORD LOHA: "Please, Would You Use Your Common Sense?! If I Don'T Make People Believe That It Is True, How Can My Book Be Sold So Well?!"

	HALLY PORTER: "You Are A Liar! You Just Put Other Magician'S Experience Onto You!"

(Insert joke about Rowling plagiarizing Tolkien's Legendarium, Star Wars, The Worst Witch and/or the works of Astrid Lindgren here.)

	LEAN WISLIN: "For Sure You Know Some?"

	MR. LORD LOHA: "Right. Sine You Are Asking Like This, My Memery Curse Is Good! Otherwise Those Magicain Will Come Up And Discuss With Me! Then My Book Is Not Convincing!
			In Fact. I Am Going To Make Oyu Lose Your Memory."

Loha reaches for his wand, but Hally and Lean immediately pull out theirs.

	HALLY PORTER: "Don'T Ever Think About It!"

Resigning himself to his fate, Loha is intimidated into doing his job by two of his second-year students. They first stop by a bathroom, haunted by a certain ghost.

	THE CRYING MEDO: "Who Is That?"

The Crying Medo turns her head, having just noticed her visitors. She looks at Hally shyly.

	THE CRYING MEDO: "Harry Hello... What Are You Doing Here?"

	HALLY PORTER: "I Come To Ask You How Did You Die?"

	THE CRYING MEDO: "That'S Terrible. Everything Is Happening... Here In The Toilet. Because Aully Was Laughing At My Glasses. So I Hide Here... I Was Crying... And Then I Heard Somebody Walking In."

	HALLY PORTER: "Who Was That Mido?"

	THE CRYING MEDO: "I Don'T Know... I Was Upset! But They Said Something Strange, Like Some Language. I Heard That Was A Boy So I Opened The Door, Wanted To Ask Him To Go Away. Then... I Died."

	HALLY PORTER: "That'S It? How?"

	THE CRYING MEDO: "I Only Remember... I Saw A Big Yellow Eyes Inside The Washer, Right Here..."

The Crying Medo gestures over to a sink, where a tiny decoration in the shape of a snake has been etched in.

	HALLY PORTER: "Right Ron, I Think That'S The Entrance."

	LEAN WISLIN: "Say Something. Harry Say Some Snake Language."

	HALLY PORTER: "(Snake Language)"

The central column in the room opens up, revealing a deep pit.

	MR. LORD LOHA: "It Is Great Harry, Well Done. Then I Can Put My Heart Down! I Am Not Needed Here!"

Loha tries to book it, but is held back by Hally and Lean.

	HALLY PORTER: "You Are Needed... You Go Down At First!"

	MR. LORD LOHA: "Why Should I Go Down At First?!"

	LEAN WISLIN: "It Is Better For Us To Go!"

(Then why are you trying to push down your teacher?")

	MR. LORD LOHA: "EnSounds Reasonable..."

Harry and Lean push Loha down the hole to test if the fall is survivable. They realize that it is when they hear Loha's voice emanating from down below.

	MR. LORD LOHA: "You Don'T Want To Go Down. It Is Dirty Down Here."

	HALLY PORTER: "Ok, We Go To Tell All We Know."

	THE CRYING MEDO: "Oh Harry, If You Die Down There... I Will Welcome You To Use My Toilet."

Hally really doesn't know how to react to this offer.

	HALLY PORTER: "Thank You Mido."

Hally and Lean jump into the pit, wich turns out to work like a giant water slide. They land in a pile of bones, and quickly draw their wands at Loha, who has regained his footing.

	HALLY PORTER: "Remember, If You Hear Anything, Close Your Eyes!"

	LEAN WISLIN: "Go!"

Lean pushes Lockhart along.

	HALLY PORTER: "This Way."

The trio wander through the underground tunnels, until they come across a huge, looming shape lying on the floor.

	LEAN WISLIN: "What'S That?"

	MR. LORD LOHA: "It Looks Like... Snake."

	HALLY PORTER: "This Is The Skin Of Th Esnake."

	LEAN WISLIN: "It Is Terrible! It Is Bout 60 Feet Long, Maybe More."

Loha faints. Lean looks at him, frustrated.

	LEAN WISLIN: "He Is Brave..."

	MR. LORD LOHA: "The Risk Is Over Kids! But The Whold World Will Know The Story."

With no warning, Loha has stirred to life and grabbed Lean's wand, poining it threateningly at him and Hally. He deecides to reveal to them his true name.

	KLATE: "Because I Am Klate, I Cam Save The Girl. How About You Two? Because You Saw Her Body, You Will Lose Your Memory. Good, You Go First Harry. And Your Memory... Say Byebye."

Loha casts his spell...

	KLATE: "Empty Forget!"

... but since he used Lean's broken wand, the spell bounces back at him. Loha is thrown against the rock wall and the roof of the cave collapses, trapping Hally and Lean on opposite sides.

	LEAN WISLIN: "Harry! Harry!"

	HALLY PORTER: "Ron! Ron Are You Ok’!?"

	LEAN WISLIN: "I Am Ok!"

Loha stirs to life again.

	KLATE: "Hey... Who Are You?"

	LEAN WISLIN: "Ron Welsly."

	KLATE: "Really? Then Who Am I?"

	LEAN WISLIN: "Harry'S Memory Goes Back! He Forgets Who He Is!"

(Wait... HARRY'S memory?!)

	KLATE: "This Is A Strange Place... You Live Here?"

	LEAN WISLIN: "No?"

	KLATE: "Really?"

Lean hits Loha in the head. He falls unconscious.

	LEAN WISLIN: "What Am I Going To Do?"

	HALLY PORTER: "You Move The Stone Here, So That We Can Go Through When We Are Bak! I Am Going To Find Jimny!"

	LEAN WISLIN: "Good."

Hally walks up to the door to the room, which is mostly covered by a lock in the shape of a seven-headed snake.

	HALLY PORTER: "(Snake Language)"

The door opens. Hally enters the room.
