SCENE 16: PROFESSOR DOUBLIC'S OFFICE

(1223-1291)

Once again, Hally hears the call of the wheexing, bloodthirsty voice. Hally follows the voice, which seems to be eminating out of the castle walls.

	VOICE: "I Want Blood! I Want To Kill! Kill! Kill! Kill! Kill! It Is The Killing Time!"

After turning the corner, Hally sees the latest two victims claimed by the monster: Binsting and the ghost Knight Nick (TM). Hally walks up to Binsting, not noticing the man walking up from behind.

	FLYING SEVEN: "You Are Caught! This Time I Won'T Let You Stay Port! You Remember What I Said!"

	HALLY PORTER: "No! You ..You Don'T Know!"

Professor Mike enters the room and confronts Hally.

	HALLY PORTER: "Professor, I Swear I Didn'T Do It!"

	PROFESSOR DOUBLIC: "This Is Out Of My Control."

Mike leads Hally to Doublic's office, which is protected by a griffin statue. Mike says the password.

	PROFESSOR MIKE: "Shellbo Lemon!"

Stairs begin to rise beneath Hally, soon reaching Doublic's office. Hally calls out for the professor, who is nowhere to be seen.

	HALLY: "Professor Doublic?"

Hally sees a familiar grumpy, shabby hat lying on a shelf.

	SHABBY HAT: "What Are You Thinking Port?"

	HALLY PORTER: "wn ) Am Just... I Am Just Thinking. Did You Ever Think That I Separate The Departments Is Right Or Not?"

	SHABBY HAT: "You Are The Difficult One... But I Stick To My Opinion, You Will Do Good In Slizelin."

	HALLY PORTER: "You Are Wrong!"

Hally turns away from the hat, walking up to a beutiful red bird... which almost immediately catches fire.

	PROFESSOR DOUBLIC: "Harry?"

Hally looks up and sees Doublic standing on top of the stairs.

	HALLY PORTER: "Proffessor... That Bird... I Can'T Help It... It Is Burning Suddenly!"

	PROFESSOR DOUBLIC: "Oh It Is The Time. It Is Not Well These Days... It Is A Pity That You Can See It Till The Burning D."

Doublic calmly descends the stairs. Hally just stares at him, dumbfounded.

	PROFESSOR DOUBLIC: "Focas It Is A Phonex. When It Dies He Will Be A Fire, And Then... Will Reborn In The Fair."

The Phoenix literally rises from the ashes. The reborn bird chirps at the Professor as though newly hatched from an egg.

	PROFESSOR DOUBLIC: "It Is Beautiful. They Can Carry The Things Heavier Than Them And They Tears Can Cure People..."

("Foreshadowing is a dramatic device in which an important plot point is mentioned earlier in the story to return later in a more significant way.")

Suddenly, Haige bursts into the office.

	HAIGE: "Professor Doublic! Wait, Listen To Me! Professor Doublic! It Is Not Harry"

	PROFESSOR DOUBLIC: "Hayge..."

	HAIGE: "If There Is Any Need, I Can Go To The Magic Department To Proof For Him!"

	PROFESSOR DOUBLIC: "Hayge!"

Doublic yells at Haige, which finally gets the latter to keep quiet and listen.

	PROFESSOR DOUBLIC: "I Don'T Believe That... Harry He Will Attact People."

	HAIGE: "You Won'T? But... Yes.Huh... I Will Wait For You Outside.

	PROFESSOR DOUBLIC: "Ok."

Haige leaves the office.

	HALLY PORTER: "You Don'T Think That I Did It?"

	PROFESSOR DOUBLIC: "Right, I Have Never Thought It Was You. But I Have To Ask You; Did You... What Do You Want To Tell Me?"

	HALLY PORTER: "No Professor. No."

	PROFESSOR DOUBLIC: "Ok. You Can Go Now."
