На сцене картина Леди. Перед ней стоит Невил с книгами и палочкой в руках.
Neville (умоляюще): Piglet’s tail.
Lady (важно): No
Neville: Swine ear.
Lady: No
Neville: Pork leg
Lady: No
Neville: Let me in, please. It’s half past eleven. I should be in bed.
Lady: You should remember the password.
Невил стонет, садится на пол, хватается руками за голову
Сцена 2
Рон и Гарри выходят, завязывая халаты поверх пижам.
Ron: If Malfoy tries to curse you, you’d better dodge it, because I can’t remember how to block them.
Гермиона сидит спиной к зрителям с книгой, поворачивается к мальчикам.
Hermione: I can’t believe you’re going to do this, Harry.
Ron (рассерженно): You!’ Go back to bed!
Harry to Ron: Come on.
Гарри подходит к портрету. Проходят через портрет Леди. Гермиона идет за ними.
Hermione: Don’t you care about Gryffindor, do you only care about yourselves, I don’t want Slytherin to win the House Cup and you’ll lose all the points I got from Professor McGonagall for knowing about Switching Spells.
Леди вешает объявление “gone on a night-time visit” и уходит.
Ron and Harry: Go away.
Hermione: All right, but I warned you, you just remember what I said when you’re on the train home tomorrow, you’re so –’
Гермиона разворачивается к портрету, но там нет Леди.

Hermione: Now what am I going to do?
Ron: That’s your problem. We’ve got to go. Harry can´t be late for his duel with Malfoy.
Hermione: I’m coming with you.
Ron and Harry: You are not!
Hermione: D’you think I’m going to stand out here and wait for Filch to catch me? If he finds us I’ll tell him the truth.
Ron: You’ve got some nerve –
Приближаются к Невилу. Невил сопит.
Harry: Silence, both of you! I heard something.
Ron (с ужасом): Mrs Norris?
Находят Невила на полу.

Neville: Thank goodness you found me! I’ve been out here for hours. I couldn’t remember the new password to get in.
Ron: Keep your voice down, Neville. The password is “Pig snout” but it won’t help you now, the Fat Lady has gone off somewhere.
Harry: How’s your arm?
Neville: Fine, Madam Pomfrey mended it in about a minute.
Harry: Good – well, look, Neville, we’ve got to be somewhere, we’ll see you later –
Neville: Don’t leave me! I don’t want to stay here alone, the Bloody Baron has been past twice already.
Рон смотрит на часы и смотрит раздраженно на Гермиону и Невила.
Ron: If either of you get us caught, I’ll never rest until I’ve learnt that Quirrell told us about and used it on you.
Hermione: Curse of the Bogies is...
Harry: Hushhhh
Filch (голос): Sniff around, my sweet, they might be lurking in a corner.
Harry: This way! RUN!

Филч идет по проходу. Уходит.

Lady: Where have you all been?
Harry: Never mind that – pig snout, pig snout.
Забегают, падают на стулья.
Ron: What do they think they’re doing, keeping a thing like that locked up in a school? If any dog needs exercise, that one does.
Hermione: You don’t use your eyes, any of you, do you? Didn’t you see what it was standing on?
Neville: The floor?
Harry: I wasn’t looking at its feet, I was too busy with its heads.
Hermione: No, not the floor. It was standing on a trapdoor. It’s guarding something.
Встает, смотрит на мальчиков.
Hermione: I hope you’re pleased with yourselves. We could all have been killed – or worse, expelled. Now, if you don’t mind, I’m going to bed.
Ron (изумленный): No, we don’t mind. (обращается к Гарри) You’d think we dragged her along, wouldn’t you?’
Ron, Harry, Neville: Good night!
