me: Okay, which of you wants to do my disclaimer?
-Hermione's hand flies into the air-
me: Not you...Um...How about you, Severus?
Severus: She doesn't own any of us...Believe me, if she owned us, I'd have killed myself long ago.
me: -quietly in background- Hey!
Severus: Nor does she own anything revolving around Moulin Rouge. And don't worry, the whole story is not going to be revolving around that. If it turns out that it will, I'll be dead long before she finishes writing this...
me: Hey! -smacks Severus- Okay, please read and review...

Christian -Harry- In the name of Love
One night in the name of Love
Satine -Severus- You crazy fool
I won't give in to you
Christian -Harry- Don't...leave me this way
I can't survive
Without your sweet Love
Oh baby, don't leave me this way

Satine -Severus- You'd think that people would have had enough of silly Love songs
Christian -Harry- I look around me
And I see it isn't so, no
Satine -Severus- Some people wanna fill the world with silly Love songs
Christian -Harry- Well what's wrong with that?
I'd like to know
Cause here I go again!

Love lifts us up where we belong
Where eagles fly on a mountain high
Satine -Severus- Love makes us act like we are fools
Throw our lives away
For one happy day
Christian -Harry- We could be heroes
Just for one day
We should be lovers
Satine -Severus- We can't do that
Christian -Harry- We should be lovers
And that's a fact
Satine -Severus- Though nothing will keeps us together?
Christian -Harry- We could steal time
Just for one day

Both: We could be heroes
Forever and ever
We could be heroes
Forever and ever
We could be heroes

Christian -Harry- Just because I will always Love you
Both: I can't help loving you
Satine -Severus- How wonderful life is
Now you're in the world
(spoken) You're going to be bad for business...I can tell.

Snape threw down his copy of the script and looked up aghast at Dumbledore.
"You really expect us to do this!"
"Yes, of course. I already cut out lines so the story could work with this cast. You two are perfectly capable of a kiss," Dumbledore replied, with that usual mischievous twinkle in his eyes.
"You have got to be joking! Why couldn't Granger play this part! Or the Weasley girl? Hell, even Lovegood could have done this!"
"Ah, but you are wrong there, Severus. They all auditioned, and none of them were fitting of the part."
"That may be true, but I didn't even audition for this part!"
"Actually, Professor, you didn't audition at all..."
Snape turned and looked at Harry. "For once, Mister Potter, you are correct," he sneered.
Dumbledore sighed. "We've already been through this, Severus. You are the only one capable of playing the role of Satine."
"But this is a female role, Albus!"
"You know as well as I do that it doesn't matter if it is a female's role or not, the story line still makes sense with the proper adjustments."
Finally giving up, Snape threw up his arms in defeat. "Fine! But I am not kissing Potter!"
"Wrong again, Severus." When Snaped turned a glare on the headmaster, he quickly raised his hand. "But I will not make you do so until the performances. Are we in aggreement?"
"Since it seems that I have no choice in the matter, yes, we are aggreed," he sighed.
"Wonderful! Well, let's take a break, and we'll pick up again in a few hours." Making shooing gestures with his hands, Dumbledore scattered the cast from the room.

"Feel the beat of the rhythm of the night, dance until the morning li--Oh, hello Harry!" Ginny, who had been walking along the corridor leading from the Charms classroom, suddenly pounced on Harry's back as he passed.
As he tried to pull her vice-grip hands off of his neck, Harry gasped back, "Ginny...can't breathe...please...let...GO!" he gasped as she released her grip on him.
"Hehe, sorry Harry," she giggled
Severus Snape was pacing in his private rooms, thinking about the dreaded rehersal of later that afternoon.
'What is it with that daft fool of a headmaster? Why is he so set on placing me beside Potter in the second lead?'
'You do know that a better question would be: Why am I trying so hard not to be beside him?'
'Why does that matter at all?'
'Perhaps because you see something in the boy...'
'All I see in Potter is a rash fool who doesn't think twice before acting.'
'The traits we hate in others, Severus...'

Severus: You do realize you're going to pay for this, right?
me: No...o.o
Severus: Believe me, you will pay.
me: What are you going to do? Do the Can-Can for me:-p
-Severus growls-
Harry: Severus, please.
me: Alright, so that's it for chapter one. -goes off to start on Chapter Two- Once again, please read and review.
