"Now remember, you must be firm with him, Gertrude. We must find out why Hamlet has gone mad!"
"I know, Polonius. Now hide before he sees you!"
Polonius, rushed behind the drapes covering the windows, nearly knocking over the table of potions. The curtains were long enough to hide his whole body. They fell shut right as Hamlet crashed through the door.
"Mother, what do you want!" Hamlet yelled as the door slammed.
"Hamlet, you have offended your stepfather, and I.."
"I what? Mother, you have offended my real father for marrying such a sick man. Especially only after two months of him being dead! Who does something like that?" As Hamlet spoke, he slowly took out his wand from his cloak and started to shake.
Gertrude, started to worry. She couldn't die yet, not by the hand of her own son!
"Stop!" A voice from behind the curtain coughed.
"What do we have here? The evil wizard Claudius? The one who betrayed my father, the rightful leader of the wizard world!"
With that, Hamlet aimed his wand at the curtain. He stood upright and fired! Yelling the spell that would kill Claudius. Sparks crackled, and the spell flew straight from the wand, through the curtain, straight into Polonius' heart.
"You have done a bloody deed!" Gertrude yelled.
"Almost as bad as murdering a king, and marrying his brother."
"Murder? The King?"
"Of course!" Hamlet strode over to the curtain and pulled it back. There was Polonius, dead as ever on the ground. "This can't be. I thought I had him!" Still looking at the body he said, "He was a fool anyway. Mother, how could you marry someone so close to father, yet so below his rank! Its disgraceful. He's an awful thief. A stealing monster. A cheating dog! Its like he.."
Just then the air turned cold. Everything in the room turned blue and frozen. All except Hamlet. The ghost of his father appeared.
"Hamlet, I am powerful. You must remember your purpose and promise you made to me. Claudius still must die. You still have four stones to find to kill him. Your wand will not be strong enough. Just remember that you are a brave wizard!"
The ghost vanished.
"See Mother, I have a duty to father. He understands."
"What are you talking about?"
"Didn't you just see father speaking to me?"
"You truly have gone mad, Hamlet!"
"I am not mad mother. It is part of my plan and duty to father. I have to collect the five stones that hold the keys to the Master Potion. Once I have that, I can defeat Claudius. He is evil and must be stopped! Going mad, was all an act! Please, you can't tell Claudius. You have to help me bring him down."
Gertrude stared at her son. She was still shaking for fear that he would kill her. For this she agreed she wouldn't tell his secret.
"I am leaving now! I must keep looking for the stones." Hamlet turned on his toes and headed for the door when he remembered Polonius.
"Not today!" He rushed over, put an invisibility spell on the body, and picked it up. "Don't worry, I will dispose of this one!"
"I know, Polonius. Now hide before he sees you!"
Polonius, rushed behind the drapes covering the windows, nearly knocking over the table of potions. The curtains were long enough to hide his whole body. They fell shut right as Hamlet crashed through the door.
