26 CHARITY> Well I think someone's playing tricks. It definitely wasn't there.
27 TYRA> Whatever, I've got work of my own to do. Are you coming minion?
28 MILES> Um yeah. Listen Charity, don't worry, I'm sure it was nothing. I'll call you later.

20 CHANCER>Well I certainly don't fancy becoming a new brand of fast food. So what's the plan of action?
21 PROF> Keep our eyes and ears open. Don't stay out on your own after dark, and just like your Mother told you, don't talk to strangers!
22 CHANCER> My rules have always been, don't let anyone with a mucked up face and big huge fangs, bite into your neck, never ever drink any strange substance that looks like it might be blood, and NEVER go to a bar in the middle of deserted Mexico that's open from Dusk til Dawn.
23 CHARITY> (DISAPPOINTED AND A BIT IRONIC) We'll watch out for those three important rules.

done for you. Now if you haven't got anything interesting to
tell me, you'd better push off.

I'm starting to see you as litres of blood, rather than the sniveling
creature that you are.

3 CHARITY> Well technically speaking you didn't. It's a real dead ghost.
4 TYRA> Oh whatever it was, one thing's for sure, it's a dirty little peeping tom!
5 MILES> So, just how naked were you?
6 CHARITY> I think that's irrelevant Miles, we need to contact this ghost and send him back to where he came from.
7 TYRA> Good, then maybe I can wash my hair in peace.
8 CHARITY>I looked up the name you gave me and apparently he's a well-known ghost that haunts St Augustine's Abbey.
9 MILES> Well, l only like to be spooked by the best!
10 CHARITY> I was thinking, why don't we do a ouija board down at the Abbey and then maybe we could get rid of him?
11 TYRA> A ouija board? Isn't that a little dangerous? We don't know what might happen.
12 MILES> Whatsa matter little girl? Scared?
13 TYRA> No! I just think it's dodgy.
14 MILES> Ah! Dodgy, shmodgy! Let's do it , it'll be fun!

9.3.3
6 CHANCER> Anyway I didn't come here to reminisce, promised me a favour and now I've asked for it. Have you got the info?
7 VINCENT> Yes. It was dangerous but luckily that weasel Eric is as easy to get info out of, as it is water from a sponge. Just one little squeeze…
8 CHANCER>(SARCASTIC) Hmm, looks like Brenton chooses his spies well. So what did he tell you?
9 VINCENT> Apparently Morpheus is trying to bring the Great One back, so they can rule the earth again.
10 CHANCER>The Great One? How are they going to do that?
11 VINCENT> He said he didn't know anymore than that, I tried to get more out of him but apparently they keep him in the dark as much as possible, for obvious reasons.
12 CHANCER> Well they'd need one hell of a spell to do that, that's raising the..Undead if you know what I mean.
13 VINCENT> Too well my friend, too well. Anyway, I've said what I came to say. Your favour is now over. I might cross paths with you again someday, who knows?
14 CHANCER> Well, like I said before, those days are over. Thanks for the favour Vincent, we're quits now. Bye.

24 BRENTON> Well you know, I do try.
25 AUROURA> Actually it was me that found him!

27 AUROURA> Thank you Master.
28 MASTER> No, thank YOU. (SNIGGER) Go on then Brenton. Persuade him.

28 CHARITY> Hang on, let me see if I can feel you, I'll just reach out until I touch something..
Oh sorry Miles!

30 CHARITY> Ah there you are! Wow, how weird!
9.4.4
31 MILES> Why did you make yourself invisible then?
32 JUSTIN> Well it seemed like a good idea at the time. I was really worried about the exams and so I did it to steal the papers. Only I couldn't work out how to get back and I missed my exam anyway!
33 CHARITY>Oh Justin, why didn't you tell us earlier?
34 JUSTIN> I know I should have, but the truth is I quite enjoyed it. After a while I started playing tricks on people.
35 MILES> (SUSPICIOUS) Tricks? What kind of tricks?
36 JUSTIN>(COYLY) Well, I may have pretended to be a ghost once or twice.
37 CHARITY> It was you! Oh Justin!

MILES, CHARITY, JUSTIN.
OUTSIDE THE CHAMBER OF SECRETS.
1 CHARITY> Right, we're here. This is the door to the Chamber of secrets. We need to be quick; those vampires are getting more fang happy by the day!
2 JUSTIN> Don't say that! It'll probably be me next!
3 MILES> Blimey Justin, don't creep up on me like that! Can't you knock or cough or something when you're near?
4 JUSTIN> Sorry- I keep forgetting you can't see me. I haven't spoken to anyone for ages.
5 MILES> You know you've got one thing in common with those suckers…
6 JUSTIN> What?
9.5.3
7 MILES> None of you have got a reflection- so you'll never
know if you've got a bad haircut.
8 JUSTIN> Mm, yes, maybe you'd better look in the mirror then!
9 CHARITY> Lads lads, come one, we've got more important things to worry about than Miles' bad hair.
10 MILES> Hey!
11 CHARITY>Oh sorry Miles. But we need to get on with it. I'm going to open the door now so get ready.
12 JUSTIN> For what?
13 FX: CREAK OPEN DOOR
SOUNDTRACK
WE GO WITH
14 MILES> There's things in here that haven't been touched for donkey's years!
15 CHARITY> Yes, so don't go touching them now.
16 FX: ESTABLISH BOOK
Ah here we are the Ancient book of spells. (BLOW) It's very dusty and heavy!
17 JUSTIN> I hope I can carry it back, I'm only little and I can't manage much!
18 CHARITY> Now all I have to do is find the right page…
(FLICKING THROUGH)
Got it. Miles, pass me the new and revised spell.
9.5.3
19 MILES> One new and revised spell. TA DA.
20 JUSTIN> What have you done?
21 CHARITY> Well, I'm carefully gluing my own resurrection spell over-the-top. It shouldn't damage the pages and it will hopefully save the world! Let's just say that the master will get a shock when he casts this spell!
9.5.4
MASTER, FINTON, JUSTIN.
VAMPIRE CAMP
1 MASTER> You whatsaname, come here.
2 FINTON> It's Finton sir.
3 MASTER> Finton? What kind of a name is Finton? I'm building an army here. I can't have anyone called Finton. No, I shall call you..Igor.
4 FINTON> Igor?
5 MASTER> Yes, now don't argue Igor, or you may feel the back of my hand. Now, you haven't seen an invisible boy have you?
6 FINTON>Is that a trick question?
7 MASTER> Igor! Don't get clever with me! Where's Brenton when you need him? We should have a screening system for all new vampires.
8 FX: KNOCK ON DOOR
9 FINTON> I'll get it.
9.5.4
10 FX: OPEN DOOR
POSITION 4
11 FINTON> It's a boy sire. Says you're expecting him.
12 MASTER> Is he invisible?
13 FINTON> Er, well, no, I can see him.
14 MASTER> Well bring him in anyway, if he's the wrong one we can just eat him. I fancy a bite to eat.
JUSTIN APPROACHING
15 JUSTIN> Hello your grace. I've brought you the Ancient Book of spells, like you asked.
16 MASTER> Ah excellent.
(FLICKING THROUGH)
The dark hour is almost here. I can hardly wait. Now, Igor, where do you think I should keep this?
17 FINTON> Your coffin?
18 MASTER> What? (CLEAR THROAT) Must be that lecturer I ate earlier. Now Justin, how shall we deal with you? You know, my stomach's rumbling…
21 JUSTIN> Er! Um well I think you should let me go, and then I could maybe steal anything else you might like, and I could spy for you. It would be silly to waste me!
22 MASTER>True, true. That pratt Eric that Brenton uses is a liability. Very well Justin, we shall let you go. You shall all be my slaves soon anyway! But, we are watching you!
9.5.4
23 JUSTIN> Of course sir. Thank you sir. Bye sir!
24 FX: DOOR SLAM
25 FINTON> Sir?
26 MASTER> Yes Igor?
27 FINTON> That's the funniest looking invisible boy I ever saw.
28 MASTER> (SIGH)
9.5.5
JUSTIN, CHARITY, MILES, TYRA.
MEETING IN CHARITY'S ROOM
1 JUSTIN> So what happens to me now?
2 TYRA> I think we should leave him like that forever. He's still a perv.
3 MILES> Well if he's still a perv surely it would make more sense if you could see him?
4 CHARITY> Of course we'll turn you back Justin. I've found a spell that will do just the trick-so to speak.
5 JUSTIN> Great. Let's do it then.
6 CHARITY> I CALL ON THE POWERS THAT BE
TO CHANGE THINGS WE CANNOT SEE
FOR ONCE THEY WERE LIKE YOU OR ME
BUT MAKE SURE THAT YOU MAKE HIM A HE.
SO BRING JUSTIN BACK TO OUR SIGHT
MAKE HIM VISIBLE BOTH DAY AND NIGHT
9.5.5
SO THEN HIS VISION IS CLEARER
AND HE CAN SEE HIMSELF IN THE MIRROR.
7 FX: BANG WHOOSH
8 REACTION GASPS
9 JUSTIN> Did it work? Can you see me?
10 TYRA> Dear Lord!
11 MILES> Um, yes mate, all of you!
12 JUSTIN> Oh crumbs! I forgot! Quick pass me a towel!
13 FX : THROW TOWEL
14 CHARITY> At least we know they brought you back a he!
15 TYRA> I guess we're even now Justin. Although, I'm sure
I looked better.
16 CHARITY> Oh I almost forgot, I went to see the Professor earlier and I explained to her everything that happened. She was a big angry that we took the book without asking but when I told her Justin's life was in danger she calmed down.
17 JUSTIN> I should think so too!
18 CHARITY> Anyway, she's spoken to your tutor and you can still take your exam with supervision. As for us, I think you'll be glad to hear that we now don't have any exams!
19 MILES> What? How come?
20 CHARITY> She says that this was a big enough test and we passed with flying colours!
21 TYRA> Thank goodness! Now we can relax!
22 MILES> Nice one Charity. It's all worked out.
23 CHARITY> Well let's hope it all goes to plan. We'll have to wait and see.
