Random Writing #3: Harry Potter and the KMLA Chamber of Secrets

    While zooming on Youtube, I found this video. This is a video made by a teenager who summarized the whole Harry Potter series in 99 seconds. It was very interesting and funny. Plus, while watching this I remembered about the play we had done about Harry Potter. With my two fellow classmates, Choi Soo Young, Kwon Jun Ho, we did this script. Unfortunately, I do not have the video of us, but this is the exact script we memorzed and performed in front of the audience. Hope you enjoy this!

   

Harry Potter and the KMLA Chamber of Secrets

 

1. Role

Harry Potter

Ron Weasley

Hermione Granger

 

2. Script
 

Narrator: Before beginning, this story can make you cry, laugh, get angry and let you experience several feelings. But most of all this will give you a great lesson. With that in mind, now let’s start the play.

 

Harry and Ron shouts and closes their book

 

Harry: Gosh, I can't understand anything. Why should we memorize magic literature?

 

Ron: Yeah. I hate literature. Last time I even stayed up whole night preparing but failed on the test. Even though I studied, I got 35 on the quiz!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Hermione: Ron, it's bad for your health to stay late at night. Furthermore, you can't concentrate the day after. Instead of staying up the night, you should use your time efficiently. You shouldn't cram.

 

Ron: Oh Hermione,.....................

 

Hermione: OH...Ron.... This is true. And studying is the only possible way that you can get good scores..........

 

Harry: Unless.......... (thinking alone) nahh....this is impossible, impossible

 

Hermione: Unless what? I’m sure you are not thinking about cheating. Cheating should never be done in KMLA. Cheating is a crime (emphasizing) “A BIG crime!!”

 

Harry: I know but we could just try. Can’t we? Ron and I can get a good score!

 

Hermione: No. You guys can’t

 

Ron: (feeling gloomy), Yeah, Hermione and I should live my whole life with Fs fulll in my report card. Oh shoot!!!!!!!! Tomorrow's Mr. Yak Min Su's magic literature quiz and I would definitely get F again. Oh God

 

Hermione: NO Ron… No… Never.

(Seriously thinking for a while with a confused expression) Yeah or maybe cheating just one time is not a bad decision. Only once in your whole life. It would be a thrilling experience for me. Yeah only once is okay! (Thinking again for a while and then smiling) Then let's make this crime perfect. Perfect plan, perfect actions! (carefully) For a perfect plan, we should examine Mr.Yak Min Su's daily routines and habits. According to my insight, Mr. Yak Min Su always drinks beer before the exam. I know this because he smells like beer at every test. I heard that Mr. Yak Min Su reviews his exam paper in a drunken state. Plus, according to a rumor, he keeps the exam paper where he drinks the beer. So, we should find out the place where he keeps the paper before the test.

 

Ron, Harry: that sounds like a work! We can do this perfectly!

 

Narrator: Harry, Ron, and Hermione examine Mr. Yak every day. During class and after school, they follow him secretly. Sometimes they disguise themselves and sometimes they just pretend to ask him questions to find out about him.

 

Hermione: Good job everyone! According to the information we had gathered until now, I made a conclusion. I found out that he raises three pets and goes everywhere with them. So, let's find out the clues from the pets.

 

Harry, Ron: Ewww.......... pets??

 

Harry: I am allergic to dogs

 

Ron: I just hate cats

 

Hermionie: (exciting voice) LOOK!!!!!!! I found these clues. By my sense and intelligence, we should take three steps for cheating.

The first mission is translating Spanish into Korean. Second one is solving a math problem. The last mission is doing a tongue twister. When we finish these missions, the clues that the pets give will lead us to the place where the exam paper is.

 

Ron: It sounds difficult............

 

Harry: But easier than studying Magic Literature test! There is so much to memorize!

 

Ron: yeah.. LIterature is so difficult. Let’s do this thing!

 

 

Hermione: The first mission is to translate this. “ES major estudiar que enganar” " ES major estudiar que enganar”, ES major estudiar que enganar” ES major estudiar que enganar ES major estudiar que enganar”...........(fascinated to the spell)

Harry: What does this mean? To me it seems like a snake hissing!

 

Ron: I hate snakes!

 

Harry: Ron, you have so much animals you hate

 

Ron: Try living with all sorts of pets of your family member! It’s terrible to just listen to the sound of its’ name.

 

Hermione: Oh, wait! I think I learned this spell from MRs. Hwang Hyung Ju teacher's ancient magic language class. Es means I, major means hate

 

(Then, suddenly a snake emerges in front of them)

 

Ron: Hermione! Hurry up, please.

 

Hermione: (surprised) This means “It is better to study than cheat”. This is a spell that brought out the snake.

 

Harry: Really! This is great

 

(The snake spits a paper which has the word “Chung” written on it)

 

Hermione: Maybe it is a hint! What will this mean?

 

 

(Then they head to the owl's house)

 

Harry: The second mission is a math question. What is 12345X54321? Ron! Why don’t you try?

 

Ron: 670592745

 

Hermione: no you're wrong Ron!

 

Ron: no i'm absolutely correct

 

(Owl : OOO~WWUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU~~~~LLLLLLL

the owl flies away through the sky and drops a piece of paper. The paper indicates a letter ' MU )'

 

Harry: It is the second hint! Now we have two hints, “Chung” and “Mu”

 

Hermione: What can this be?

 

Ron: I have no idea. Hermione, you're an intelligent girl, so what do you think this is?

 

Hermione: hmmm. maybe it's a morse code. I could translate this into morse code. Wait a second........... It says,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, it's better to give up than giving a try. It looks like some kind of proverb but it is really nonsense.

 

Harry: it's ridiculous. I think somebody's playing on us. There are some other students who are also looking for the exam paper.

 

Ron : There isn't any evidence. Who would think the same thing as us.? Your imagination surprises me Harry

 

Harry: Ron. Your imagination I mean nonsense always surprises me.

 

Hermione: Both of you stop it. Harry might be right or wrong. We are not sure yet. But what we are sure is that if we accomplish a mission, one of Mr. Yak’s pet will come and give us a letter.

 

Harry: Yeah. You are right, Hermione!

 

Ron: Now we have one mission left. The last mission is to say a tongue twister. No need to light a night light what is this?

 

Hermione: no need to light a light night! What I can’t do it!

Harry: Oh! I like tongue twisters! I’ll try it. No need to light a night light on a light night like tonight. I could do it again. No need to light a night light on a light night like tonight.

 

Ron: Wow! I knew you could do it

 

Hermione: How did you do it? Hey guys look! There is a earwig

 

(Earwig brings the letter 3)

 

Hermione: Yes! All three hints, “Chung”, “Mu”, “Three”. What does this mean? It’s defiantly not Morse Code.

 

Harry: Hey! I think it means that the test is in Chung Mu third floor. If you arrange the hints in order it matches.

 

Hermione: Yes. Harry, I think you are right!

 

Ron: Sorry for teasing you Harry! I’m glad to have you as a friend!

 

Narator: Three of them run to Chung Mu Kwan. They are filled with pride and confidence but I’m sure it won’t last long.

 

Ron: This is the staircase! Let's go

 

Harry: I can't wait to see the test

 

Hermione: Guys, be quiet. We might get into big trouble if we get caught.

 

Harry: First floor

Second Floor

Third Floor

(Three of them arrive at Chung Mu 3 floor)

 

Harry: Yes we arrived.

Ron: Where is Mr. Yak’s desk?

Harry: This is Mr. Yak's desk. I saw him sit here before.

(Harry slowly opens Mr. Yak's drawer. However, inside there is nothing but Girls’ Generation Poster.)

 

Ron: Hey! Isn't this Girls' Generation? I love them. They are so pretty and lovely and their songs are great. But where is the test?

 

Harry: There is nothing but this poster. Nothing at all. I didn't know Mr. Yak liked Girls' sGeneration

 

Hermione: Harry, Ron! That is not the point. Where is it?

 

Harry: I don't think the test is here

 

Ron: Me, too

 

Hermione: I can't believe we can't find the test with all these things we had to go through. Three missions and meeting all sorts of Mr. Yak’s weird pets. How can this happen to us?

 

Harry: Chear up!

Hermione: I am going to revenge. Mr. Yak likes Girls' Generation so let's scribble on this poster

 

Harry&Ron: Yeah let's do it                                                                     

 

Harry: I heard he especially likes Taeyon the most

 

Hermione: I’ll draw the mustache on her.

 

Harry, Ron, Hermione brings a pen and scribbles faces on the poster)

 

Narrator: This story is eventually not a happy ending story. It's a tragedy. Why? Because the next day, Harry, Ron, and Hermione gets zero point on their Magic Literature test. Why again? The answer is obvious. They were so exhausted that they slept right away that night. They could not study and also slept during the test. Poor Harry, Ron, and Hermione. During the play, Harry, Ron, and Hermione gave the audience a laugh, sorrow, anger. I hope this gives them a lesson, too.
