The next day, Cedric, Hermione, and Fred waited in one of the booths of the Three Broomsticks for Diana to get back and say whether or not Madame Rosmerta had said yes.

Hermione said, "If Madame Rosmerta did say yes, how would we set the place up without anyone noticing?"

Fred said, "Yeah, and how would we know to let people in?"

Cedric said to Fred, "That's easy. Don't let anyone from the Inquistorial Squad in, but everyone else is welcome."

Fred nodded slowly, then said to Hermione, "We could sound-proof the place."

Then, Diana came back with a huge smile on her face. She sat down and said, "She said it'd be fine and we're welcome to use food and drinks from the Three Broomsticks for it."

Cedric then said, "Now the question is, when should we start setting it up?"

"I think we should wait until everyone else has gone to bed - including the professors - then head here. In fact, I asked Madame Rosmerta about that and she said that she always stays after hours, so the door will be unlocked."

Hermione said, "This is too good to be true!"

Fred raised an eyebrow. "Hermione, don't say that - you'll jinx it."

Diana said, "So, now that we've got this all worked out, there's another to talk about - the Christmas dance, which is coming up in about 3 weeks. Most likely, because of Disney, they're just going to play a bunch of Disney crap - we're going to have to find a way around it."

Fred said, "We could just not go to the dance -"

"No! That's just saying -"

Hermione then said, "Diana, I never thought I'd say this, but I think we're all getting in over our heads with this whole Disney rebellion business."

Diana raised an eyebrow. "You're saying you WANT to listen to the elves singing 'Be Our Guest' for the rest of your Hogwarts existence?" Hermione cringed. "That's what I thought."

This brings us to about a week later. The Hogsmeade Nine Muses Bar was almost finished, and Diana and Cedric were walking into the Gryffindor Common Room (the password for which was 'Diet Coke and Mentos'). When they walked in, Fred was puking into a bucket, mumbling, "No more! No more!"

Cedric said, "Fred, what is it?"

Hermione, who was sitting on the couch, shook her head sadly and said, "He heard 'Bibbity-Boppity-Boo' again."

"Ohhhh... that sucks."

Diana then said, "So, the bar's almost finished... how should we let people know about it?"

Fred, who had finished puking, said, "George and I could tell our friends about it - they wouldn't tell Umbridge if their life depended on it."

Hermione said, "I'll tell Harry, Ron, and Neville."

Cedric shrugged. "Only person I trust to tell is Luna."

Diana said, "I'll tell Ginny and Parvarti."

There was a bit of silence, then Cedric sang with a smile on his face,

"Be depressed, be depressed,

'Cause Walt Disney is the best,

Now the biggest broadway musical's

A cartoon from the West,

Children say, 'It's a feast

Seeing 'Beauty and the Beast!',

Now it turns the great white way

Into a drama drawn with crayon,

Guys who sing, dolls who dance,

Mom auditions for the chance

To play dinnerware that seems to be possessed,

And Broadway, while you're fading,

We will be invading -

Be depressed, oui, depressed, be depressed..."

Fred sang, "I'm a beast, I'm a troll,

But at least I've got a role,

Disney offered me a bonus,

So I had to sell my soul,

I'm a wreck in this dreck, ah, but heck, at least I get a check..."

Cedric sang, "All in all, it's quite delicious,

Getting paid to dance with dishes,

We have songs, we have plot,

Everything most shows have not,

It's no wonder Vincent Camby is impressed..."

Both Fred and Cedric sang, "But Broadway, now you're fated

To be animated, you're so stressed, I suggest

You recoup and take a rest,

Be depressed, be depressed, be depressed!"

Diana sang, "What a trip, what a trap,

Dressing up inside this crap,

When I'm stuck inside a teapot

Everybody gives me flap,

How I dread and turn red

Acting with a severed head,

Little Chip is so repulsive,

Kiddies scream and get convulsive,

Disney bribed, Disney fought,

The New Amsterdam they bought,

For that deal, they should be subject to arrest!"

Cedric sang, "But Broadway, you will dive

Into a Disney buy-in,

You're depressed,

You need rest, maybe Prozac, I suggest..."

Both Cedric and Diana sang, "Be depressed, be depressed,

Broadway now, you're Disney's guest,

Watch out, Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck

Will put you to the test!

If we laugh, if we gloat,

It's 'cause theatre's so remote,

And now Stephen Sondheim's teacher

Is an animated feature!"

Cedric, Diana, and Fred all sang, "Block by block,

Score by score,

We'll acquire more and more,

We'll line 42nd Street from east to west!

Broadway, it's too bad, now you're another ad,

So be depressed, be depressed,

'Cause now we're the best!"

The three of them all started laughing, and Cedric said, "Comedy, thy name is 'Forbidden Broadway'."

Hermione crossed her arms and said, "I refuse to participate in something even remotely close to 'Be Our Guest'."

Fred said, "But it's a parody talking about much Disney has commercialized Broadway - I would think that you would appreciate that, Hermione."

"Whatever - I still haven't gotten over the house elves."
