Okay, fanatics. I had to make a few minor corrections, but I'm back and better than ever. Don't worry about your reviews. There are right now sitting in front of me, so you'll get the feedback as always. Enjoy!
Do I really have to do this? Okay, okay. This story isn't mine. It belongs to the who and the people who bought the rights to the Broadway musical. As soon as I find out the company name, I'll list it in a separate disclaimer. As for Harry Potter and all related characters, they belong to Jo. To make a long story short, I only own the idea to do this.

ACT ONE
PROLOGUE
#1 Overture (Ensemble)
(Slide: 1977.
During the overture the following series of vignettes unfolds in a kind of balletic dumbshow.
A. First French Horn Section
A GRYFFINDOR is studying, face hidden behind a Transfiguration book. In the nearby lake, the giant squid lazily basks in the warm day. JAMES POTTER, a handsome Englishman in his mid-teens emerges with his crew, SIRIUS BLACK, REMUS LUPIN, and PETER PETTIGREW. His path is being blocked, HE stands behind the GRYFFINDOR. JAMES tries to get the GRYFFINDOR'S attention. He gets no reaction. He speaks again. Finally, he pats the GRYFFINDOR'S shoulder. The GRYFFINDOR glances at him over her book, but never lowers it. JAMES starts. The GRYFFINDOR puts the book down to reveal herself as LILY EVANS. JAMES stares at the young woman. He awkwardly offers her a hand up. SHE accepts, stands, and walks away. He smiles and follows.
B. Jitterbug entrance – "Go To The Mirror"
JAMES and LILY are concealed as a group of students appear in the Great Hall during a school dance, doing the jitterbug on a smoke-filled dance floor. It is obviously a 1940's theme party. SIRIUS appears again and walks slowly around the DANCERS. He watches the DANCERS, grins, and crosses to a particularly pretty RAVENCLAW. JAMES, in scarlet dress robes, and LILY, in pale yellow dress robes, whirl across the room and disappear.
C. The Wedding – "See Me, Feel Me"
The students separate and PETUNIA EVANS appears, as do JAMES and LILY, with their backs to us. It is apparently a couple of years later. He is in a black tuxedo and she is in a princess-style wedding gown. A MINISTER faces them and performs the wedding ceremony.)
MINISTER
The union of husband and wife in heart, body, and mind is intended by God for mutual joy; for the help and comfort given one another in prosperity and adversity; and, when it is God's will, for the procreation of children and their nurture in the knowledge and love of the Lord. Therefore, marriage is not to be entered into unadvised or lightly, but reverently, deliberately, and in accordance with purposes for which is instituted by God.
ENSEMBLE
(Simultaneous with above)
AHHHHH…
(The OTHERS witness the exchange of vows. AUNT PETUNIA walks up and stands by LILY'S side. SHE takes the flowers as SIRIUS hands JAMES a ring. While the service goes on JAMES impatiently places the ring on LILY'S finger and kisses her passionately in silhouette.
D. Attack of the Death Eaters – "Go To The Mirror"
AIR RAID SIRENS. SIRIUS produces a civil defense armband, which he dons, and a light wand. EVERYONE ELSE scatters. A cacophony of SOUNDS join the sirens – NEWS CLIPPINGS of recent deaths, the DRONE of the various curses overhead, FLASHES OF LIGHT on the horizon. Nearby EXPLOSIONS. SIRIUS hurries off.
E. Bed Scene – "Listening To You" – Lowry Organ
A bed appears. LILY POTTER is tucked in, hear head on the pillow, asleep. Distant EXPLOSIONS. JAMES, having finished dressing, sits gently on the edge of the bed. HE leans over and kisses her softly. SHE stirs but doesn't waken. He places his hand on her stomach, watching her for a moment longer and then quietly creeps away.
F. Warmups; Jumping Jacks; Calisthenics – French Horn
JAMES is met by FRANK LONGBOTTOM who ritualistically helps him change into his Auror's combat uniform. Simultaneously, REMUS, SIRIUS, and other members of the Order of the Phoenix perform exercises at the edge of the battlefield. FRANK salutes.
G. "Pinball Wizard"
JAMES joins them and the Order of the Phoenix heads out for battle. The battle against the Death Eaters is fierce, but the Order seems to have the upper hand with REMUS, SIRIUS, and JAMES leading the pack.
H. Closing Bars
EVERYONE starts moving off stage, including REMUS AND SIRIUS. JAMES is left alone on the stage. TWO DEATH EATERS appear below as PETER reenters and crosses to JAMES. PETER raises his wand. There is the deafening SOUND of a Stunning Spell and the TWO DEATH EATERS run forward to catch the fallen JAMES POTTER.)
