Act 1 Scene 1
A man appeared on the stage, sitting on a trunk. He was dressed as a Gryffindor and was wearing a pair of round glasses.
Harry (singing): Underneath these stairs I hear the sneers and feel the glares of my cousin, my uncle, and my aunt. Can't believe how cruel they are and it stings my lightning scar to know they'll never ever give me what I want.
"Harry, what's that supposed to mean?" Hermione asked, looking at her friend with a raised eyebrow.
Harry only mumbled something back. Snape got a weird look on his face but it was gone as soon as it came.
I know I don't deserve these stupid rules made by the Dursleys here on Privet Drive. Can't take all of these Muggles but despite all of my struggles, I'm still alive…
"Isn't that a little over the top?" Ginny asked.
"Nah," Harry replied. "I probably shouldn't be alive anyways, with all the stuff I've been through."
I'm sick of summer and this waiting around. Man, it's September and I'm skipping this town. Hey, it's no mystery, there's nothing here for me now…I gotta get back to Hogwarts!
Everyone burst out laughing. Minus Snape and Malfoy, of course. Even Dumbledore was a chuckling a bit.
I gotta get back to school. I gotta get myself to Hogwarts, where everybody knows I'm cool.
"You sound like Malfoy." Ron stated.
Malfoy scowled.
Back to witches and wizards and magical beasts, to goblins and ghosts and to magical feasts, it's all that I love and it's all that I need at Hogwarts! Hogwarts, I think I'm going back. I'll see my friends, gonna laugh 'til we cry; take my Firebolt, gonna take to the sky. No way this year anyone's gonna die and it's gonna be totally awesome!
"That's a little depressing," Hermione said.
"Now that I think about it, someone has died or almost died every year I've been at Hogwarts," Harry mused.
I'll cast some spells with a flick of my wand. Defeat the Dark Arts, yeah, bring it on!
"I'd rather not have to this year, thank you very much."
And do it all with my best friend Ron 'cause together we're totally awesome…
Ron fist bumped Harry. "We are, aren't we?"
Harry nodded in agreement while Hermione and Ginny rolled their eyes.
Ron: Yeah and it's gonna be totally awesome!
Ron (spoken): Did somebody say Ron Weasley? Woo! What's up buddy?
Harry: Hey! (hugs)
Ron: Hey, sorry it took me so long to get here I had…to go get…some…Floo Powder but, uh, we gotta get going c'mon, get your trunk, let's go.
Harry: Where are we going?
Ron: To Diagon Alley, of course!
Harry: Cool!
Ron: Come on!
Ron and Harry (running around, flapping their arms): Floo Powder Power, Floo Powder Power, Floo Powder Power, Floo Powder Power!
Everyone started laughing again and Malfoy had an evil little smile on his face. Even Snape looked amused.
"You look like idiots!" Ginny wheezed out between laughs. Harry and Ron just gaped at the screen.
Ron (singing): It's been so long…
Both: …but we're going back!
Ron: Don't go for work, don't go there for class!
Harry: As long as we're together…
Ron: …gonna kick some ass…
Both: …and it's going to be totally awesome! This year we'll take everybody by storm, stay up all night, sneak out of our dorm!
"You better not," Snape muttered.
Hermione: But let's not forget that we need to perform well in class if we want to pass our OWLs!
Hermione stared open mouthed at the girl on the screen. Malfoy and Snape were smirking and Dumbledore was smiling. Harry and Ron were practically rolling on the ground in laughter, while Ginny giggled and said, "They got Hermione right for sure!"
Ron (spoken): God Hermione, why do you have to be such a buzz kill?
Hermione: Because guys, school's not all about having fun. We need to study hard if we want to be good witches and wizards. (singing) I may by frumpy but I'm super smart. Check out my grades, there A's for a start.
"Isn't it O's?" Malfoy asked, looking a little confused.
"In the Muggle world, A's are the highest on the grading scale. And I'm not frumpy!" Hermione said, pouting.
What I lack in looks, well, I make up in heart and well guys, yeah that's totally awesome! This year I plan to study a lot.
Ron: That would be cool if you were actually hot.
Malfoy laughed while Hermione smacked Ron on the back of his head and Ginny slapped him with a pillow.
Harry: Hey Ron, c'mon, we're the only friends that she's got…
Hermione looked a little hurt at this and Harry immediately started to apologize for the character on the screen.
Ron: …and that's cool…
Hermione: …and that's totally awesome!
All Three: Yeah, it's so cool and it's totally awesome! We're sick of summer and this waiting around. It's like we're sitting in the lost and found. Don't take no sorcery, for anyone to see how…We gotta get back to Hogwarts! We gotta get back to school. Gotta get back to Hogwarts, where everything is magi-cool.
Whole Cast: Back to witches and wizards and magical beasts, to goblins and ghosts and some magical feasts. It's that all that I love and it's all that I need at Hogwarts! Hogwarts, I think we're going back.
"Well," Ron said. "That was interesting."
"I find it horrifying that Muggles know everything about my life," Harry said. "Even if it is in another universe."
"What year do you think we're in?" Hermione wondered. "It doesn't look like our first year or this year."
A piece of paper fluttered down from the ceiling. Hermione picked it up and read:
It's second year.
Everyone nodded.
"Is everyone ready for the next video?" Dumbledore asked, eyes twinkling. There was a chorus of "yeahs" from the group and they watched as the next video loaded and watched as the Golden Trio walked across the stage.
