Dedicated to Constance Vigilance


(Scene:  As the lights come up on the stage, several people are already there: Krum is standing next to Hermione, Cedric is beside Cho, Fleur is  there looking worried and all of them are soaking wet.   Madame Pomfrey is fussing over Hermione.   Everybody looks  to stage left  as Harry enters with Ron and Gabrielle.  Fleur runs over to Gabrielle)

Fleur:  Gabrielle!  Gabrielle!  Is she alive?  Is she 'urt?

Harry (exhausted): She's fine

Ron (to Percy who has just run to his side):  Geroff, Percy, I'm all right.

Fleur (to Gabrielle): It was the Grindylows...zey attacked me...oh, Gabrielle, I thought...I thought...

Hermione: Harry, well done!  You did it, you found out how to breathe under the water all by yourself.

Krum: You haff a water-beetle in your hair, Herm-own-ninny.

(The crowd starts to thin, leaving Harry, Ron, Hermione, Krum and Madame Pomfrey alone, center stage.  Madame Pomfrey, during the song, starts to fuss over Harry's wounds.)

(Cue intro music for "Gillyweed")

Harry (speaking):  You know, we spent all that time researching in the library together for some sort of spell to use for this second task.  We looked and looked without any luck.   I really didn't think I was going to make it, but it was Dobby who pulled through at the last moment.

Ron (speaking): What happened?

Harry (singing) :

I learned from the Egg's song
That someone would take 
Something from me and hide
It under the lake
I'd have to retrieve it
But how would I breathe?
Oh, we'd
Have to read

We looked through all the books
For some sort of spell
We couldn't find nuthin'
I kept thinkin', "Hell"
Then Dobby appeared and
In my hour of need
Brought me
Gillyweed

That's how I went under the water
Where I found you tied
I thought if the others didn't come
You'd be left to die
The leader of the Mer-people has spoken
To D'dore
Now all of the judges are talking amongst themselves
Soon they'll announce what's the score

Bagman (speaking off stage):  Mr. Harry Potter used Gillyweed to great effect.  He returned last, and well outside the time limit of an hour.  However, the Mer-chieftainess informs us that Mr. Potter was first to reach the hostages, and the delay in his return was due to his determination to return all the hostages to safety, not merely his own.  Most of the judges feel that shows moral fibre and merits full marks.  However...Mr. Potter's score is forty-five points!

Ron (speaking):  Hey!  What do you know about that, Harry!  You're now tied for first place with Cedric!

(singing)

You were not being thick
Like I thought you were
The judges decided
It was moral fibre

Harry (singing):

If you should ask of me
"How did you succeed?"
Dobby
Gave me

(Spoken, as Madame Pomfrey touches up one of his wounds) Ouch!  Gillyweed.
