Greg Heffley and the Goblet of Fire: Sora Strife's death scene

(Greg and Sora have ported to a cemetery graveyard.)

Sora: "You okay?"

Greg: "Yeah. you?"

Sora: Where are we?

Greg: "I been here before."

Sora: "It's a portkey. Greg, the cup's a portkey."

Greg: "I been here before in a dream. Sora, we have to get back to the cup, now."

Sora: "What are you talking about?"

Greg: AAAAAAAAAAAH!

(Greg holds onto his forehead like he's in so much pain.)

Sora: "What is it?"

Greg: "Get back to the cup."

(Thrax (off screen) and Bruiser are nearby.)

Sora: "Who are you? what do you want?"

Thrax (off screen): "Kill the spare."

Bruiser: "You got it."

(Bruiser casts a powerful spell and kills Sora off.)

Greg: "No! Sora!"

(Sora lies right down deceased on the ground. Bruiser pulls Greg closer. A status grabs hold of Greg and traps him.)

Thrax (off screen): "Do it, now."

(Bruiser drops something right into the cauldron. Greg watches on.)

Bruiser: "Bones of the godfather, unwillingly given,"

(A skeleton bone hovers right in mid-air under Bruiser's control. He drops it right into the cauldron.)

Bruiser: "flesh of the servant, willingly sacrificed,"

(Bruiser takes a knife and slashes his left arm right over the cauldron.)

Bruiser: "blood of the enemy, forcibly taken,"

(Bruiser takes the knife right over to Greg and cuts at his left arm.)

Greg: AAAAAAAAAAAAH!

(Bruiser takes the knife right over to the cauldron and let the drops fall right into it.)

Bruiser: "The dark agent shall rise again."

(The cauldron bursts into flame and Thrax emerges from it.)

Thrax: "My staff, Bruiser."

(Bruiser hands Thrax the staff and bows deeply to him.)

Thrax: "Hold out your arm."

Bruiser: "Boss, thank you boss."

Thrax: "The other arm, Bruiser."

(Bruiser looks a bit concerned, but does it anyhow. Thrax sticks the staff into Bruiser's right arm. The evening skies change and the others have been summoned.)

Thrax: "Welcome my friends. 31 years it's been, and yet you stand before me as though it were only yesterday. I confess myself disappointed, not one of you tried to find me."

(Thrax begins slashing angrily at the hooded figures.)

Thrax: "Not even you, Scabies."

Scabies: "My master, had I detected any sign or even a whisper of your whereabouts."

Thrax: "There were signs, my friend, and more than whispers."

Scabies: "I assure you I never renounced the old ways. the face I have been obliged to present each day since your absence, that was my true mask."

Bruiser: "I returned."

Thrax: "Outta fear, not loyalty. still, you have proved yourself useful these past few months, Bruiser."

(Thrax grants Bruiser a new left hand.)

Bruiser: "Thank you, boss, thank you."

Thrax (looking right at Sora's motionless body) "Oh, such a handsome boy."

Greg (off screen): "Don't touch him."

(Greg struggles to release himself)

Thrax: "Greg, I almost forgotten you were here. standing on the bones of my godfather. I'd introduce you, but word has it you're almost as famous as me these days. the young boy who survived along with his 2 brothers. how fibs have fed your legend, Greg. shall I reveal what really happened that night 14 years ago? shall I divulge how I truly lost my powers? it was love. you see, when dear sweet Susan Heffley gave her life for her 3 sons, she provided the ultimate protection. I couldn't touch you. it was old magic, something I should've forseen. But no matter, no matter. things have changed, I can touch you now."

(Thrax puts his right hand on Greg's forehead.)

Greg: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!

Thrax: "Astonishing what a few drops of your blood will do, eh, Greg? pick up your weapon, Loud. I said pick it up, get up. get up! you been taught how to duel I presume, yes? 1st we bow to each other. come on now, Greg, the niceties must be observed, King Hubert wouldn't want you to forget your manners, now would he? I said bow."

(Thrax forces Greg to bow with magic powers.)

Thrax: "That's better. and now..."

(Thrax casts at Greg and he squirms around in pain.)

Thrax: "Atta boy, Greg, your parents would be proud. especially your filthy mongrel mother. I'm gonna kill you, Greg Heffley, I'm gonna destroy you. after tonight, no 1 will ever again question my powers. after tonight, if they speak of you, they'll speak only of how you begged for death, and I being a merciful dark agent obliged. get up."

(Thrax pulls Greg to his feet. Greg begins moving away from him.)

Thrax: "Don't you turn your back on me, Greg Heffley, I want you to look at me when I kill you, I wanna see the lights leave your eyes."

(Greg takes a few steps towards Thrax.)

Greg: "Have it your way."

(They both cast and their streams of magic powers meet 1 another. They both struggle.)

Thrax: "Do nothing. he's mine to finish. he's mine."

(The ghost figures of Frank Heffley, Susan Heffley and Sora appear right where Greg's standing.)

Frank's Ghost Figure: "Greg, when the connection's broken, you must get to the portkey. we can delay it for a moment to give you time, but only a moment, do you understand?"

Sora's Ghost Figure: "Greg, take my body back will you? take my body back to my father."

Susan's Ghost Figure: "Let go. Greg, you're ready. let go. let go."

(The connection breaks apart. Greg goes right over to Sora's motionless body and summons the cup right over to them. In an instant, they port out. Thrax looks angry and upset.)

Thrax: "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"

(Back in the arena, Greg appears with Sora's motionless body. the entire crowd doesn't realize what's going on out there. Greg silently weeps on Sora's motionless body.)

Francisco: "He did it!"

Minnie and Daisy: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!

King Hubert: "Greg! Greg!"

(King Hubert tries to pry Greg from Sora's motionless body.)

Greg: "No! no! no! don't!"

Grandpa Lou: "For corn sakes, Hubert, what's happened?"

Greg: "He's back, he's back, Thrax is back. Sora, he asked me to bring his body back, I couldn't leave him, not there."

King Hubert: "It's alright, Greg, it's alright, he's home, you both are."

Grandpa Lou: "Keep everybody in their seats, a boy has just been killed, the body must be moved, Hubert, there are too many people."

(Cloud's now pushing his way right through the entire crowd.)

Cloud: "Let me through. let me through! let me through!"

(Cloud lightly pushes Greg away from Sora's motionless body.)

Cloud: "That's my son! it's my boy! my booooooooyyyyyyy!"

(Big's getting Greg to stand up and come along with him.)

Big: "Come on, get up, easy, easy."

Cloud: "No........no........no.......no.......NOOOOOOOOOOO!"

Big (still walking around with Greg): "This isn't where you wanna be right now, come on."

Greg: "No!"

Big: "It's alright, I got you, I got you, come on, easy now."

Greg: "No! no!"

Big: "Are you alright, Greg? does it hurt? that?"

Greg: "Not so much now."

Big: "I better take a look at it."

(Greg's left arm has the skull and snake markings on it.)

Greg: "The cup was a portkey. somebody had bewitched it."

Big: "What was it like? what was he like?"

Greg: "Who?"

Big: "The dark agent, what was it like to stand in his presence?"

(Meanwhile in the Toonwarts assembly.......)

King Hubert: "Today, we acknowledge a really terrible loss. Sora Strife was as you all know, exceptionally hard working, intricately fair minded, and most importantly, a fierce, fierce friend. I think therefore you have the right to know exactly how he died. You see? Sora Strife was murdered by Thrax. The ministry of magic doesn't wish me to tell you this. but not to do so, I think would be an insult to his memory. Now the pain we all feel at this dreadful loss reminds me, reminds us that while we may come from different places and speak in different tongues, our hearts beat as 1. In light of recent events the bonds of friendship we made this year will be more important than ever. remember that, and Sora Strife will not have died in vain, you remember that. and we'll celebrate a boy who was kind and honest and brave and true, right to the very end."
