Disclaimer: DO NOT OWN HARRY POTTER OR ANY CHARACTERS FROM THE SERIES. Only Talya Marie is mine. ALSO DON'T OWN STARKID.
A/N: Thanks for all the responses via reviews, favourites and follows. Sorry for the delay! Uni started 6 weeks ago…-_- and I finally found time to finish chapter 8. This is gonna be uber long! If you haven't watched 'A Very Potter Sequel' and plan on doing so in the near future, I suggest you don't read this cos of SPOILERS, there are some awesome twists in this storyline.
Previously: "Come on guys! Let's head in." said Ginny.
"Yes let's eat dinner then all meet up at 7pm in the boy's dorm. Ready for AVPS?" Talya asked.
"If it's as funny as this one then I'm game." said Ron. Everyone else nodded.
"Well then you're in for a treat guys!" Talya smiled.
Fred and George joined them in the boy's dormitory this time. They had heard about the confrontation with Malfoy and asked exactly what the hell it all meant. Naturally they were intrigued by these musicals, so they along with Harry, Ron, Hermione, Ginny, Neville, Dean and Luna were sat in the dorm, waiting for Talya to retrieve her laptop.
"Right guys are you ready?" Talya appeared at the door. Everyone made themselves comfortable and assured they had a good view of the laptop.
"I think it appropriate to give a warning before I start the video, don't take some of the silly jokes to heart, although some parts and songs are quite touching and the team that made this love the story and are big fans too. I actually think it's quite a feat to make fun of something you love. It's a great quality!"
Hermione nodded in agreement and everyone hastened Talya to start A Very Potter Sequel.
"Here we go!" said Talya. The screen showed two men appear. After a dialogue, one man danced across the floor.
"What was that?" asked Ron.
"I believe that was a pas de bourree." answered Hermione jokingly. "Hang on is this supposed to be Lucius Malfoy?"
Talya nodded. Hermione had worked out why Draco exaggerated his actions and started laughing. The story progressed with a Death Eater number.
"Marries Ginny?" Harry repeated what Malfoy senior said. Ginny blushed. No one decided to comment, and Fred decided to break the uncomfortable tension.
"Oh they are going back in time? A year back? Do those kinds of time turners even exist? "
"Doubt it." said Hermione sharing a secret smirk with Ron and Harry just as Ginny said with a cringe, "Oh Merlin, what are they doing to Lucius?" He was being smothered by hands.
The song ended with the Death Eaters going back, and Harry appeared at Kings Cross.
"It was all a bit hard to believe. Magic, wizardry, owl post! The way he said it made it sound like a joke!" Harry said.
"Oh here come the Weasleys!" said Dean. Everyone burst out with laughter at the Weasley portrayal.
"They got Percy right eh Fred?" George laughed as Fred nodded.
"Urgh they make me look like a total baby, I'm only a year younger than Ron!" said Ginny.
"Look that's where the slap came from!" Neville noticed.
It went on to show Platform 9¾ and Harry and Ron's first meeting.
"Butterface am I, Harry?" Ginny asked as Harry hastily denied it.
"What's with the Redvines?" asked Fred. Talya explained the significance of the sweet snack. They all laughed at the mirror scene and the hug.
"Oh Ronniekins finally found a friend!" George cooed in a baby voice, resulting in him getting hit with a pillow.
The group became a little solemn at the mention of Harry's parents' deaths, but even Harry allowed himself a chuckle at the exaggeration and mumbled, 'Crocodile' under his breath with a smile and a shake of the head.
Then music started and Seamus and Dean were introduced for the first time. Neville and Cho appeared too.
Talya sang along to 'Harry Freakin' Potter', while everyone sniggered along.
"Oh no, Rita Skeeter." disappointment was heard in Hermione's voice. Talya shrugged in a 'What can you do' way.
"Oh Sirius is in this?" Harry questioned.
"Yeah it follows Years 1, 3 and 5 mainly." Talya replied.
"Sirius? As in Sirius Black, Azkaban escapee?" Dean asked startled.
"Yeah he's my godfather." Harry explained, and before Dean could interrupt he added, "He is innocent. He was framed by the same person who helped resurrect Voldemort."
Everyone who knew the story nodded and Dean seemed to take that as enough explanation.
The scene progressed. "Is that Professor Lupin? I liked him." said Luna absentmindedly. Talya nodded.
They laughed at Ron's entrance and their comments about Lupin. Scabbers made an appearance and received glares from everyone who knew the truth, while Ron muttered, "Bloody traitor rat."
Hermione and Crookshanks also came into the story.
"NIGHT TROLL?!" Hermione screamed. "I'll show you Ronald Bilius Weasley!" and then went on to smack every part of Ron she could reach while Ron tried shouting over the laughter of the others, "It's not me! I didn't say tha-OW! Bloody hell Hermione, I never thought you were a-OW-troll!"
"Alright, alright break it up!" Talya screeched. "Hermione stop! That…" she pointed at the screen, "is not Ron; that is the rather lovely Joey Richter PLAYING Ron. You were supposed to be the one to heed my warning. You cannot take all these comments to heart, I will warn you again, things will get worse for your character but they're supposed to be funny, even at your own expense. Now let's continue yes?"
Hermione huffed in annoyance but nodded. Talya continued the video to show the big speech about house elves and the petition.
"Her-my-one!" Fred laughed. The candy lady was introduced and Ron and Hermione went on to describe Hogwarts and Dumbledore.
"Beautiful is he Ron?" Dean said with a chuckle. Ron's ears went red. Everyone laughed as the candy lady was replaced by the obvious Death Eater and then went on to guffaw more when Remus Lupin finally woke up. The whole group was wiping tears from their eyes.
"Oh Merlin if Professor Lupin were to see this!" Harry managed to get out through deep breaths. "He sure does curse a lot. Oh Snape's back! Yes!"
"What? Never thought I'd hear those words come out of your mouth." Ginny said pointedly.
"You know what I mean, this guy is hilarious!" Harry retorted. The group dissolved into laughter again at the 'butt trumpet' and 'Sourgrape Snape' part.
xXxXxXxXxXx
When the song 'Home' started playing they all became solemn. Talya was mouthing the words and Harry could fully relate to the lyrics. They giggled at the scarf of sexual preference and Draco's entry.
"Subtle." George commented on Draco's introduction and then gasped and laughed when Harry pushed Malfoy. And hooted even more when Dumbledore came and revealed Malfoy wore diapers. Lupin the werewolf scene came, and Dumbledore explained the new security measures. Then Talya spoke:
"You guys are gonna love this!" and then Umbridge walked on, in all HIS glory. The look on everyone's faces morphed from confusion to horror to amusement to outright laughter.
"He's a she? No she's a he?" Neville was still confused.
"Basically, that's the guy who played Voldemort in AVPM, playing a woman Umbridge, but Dumbledore thinks she's a man and is attracted to her/him because he's gay." That statement was met with silence. "What? It's true." She shrugged.
"Whoa this Umbridge is some crazy ass character!" Dean commented. The Quidditch practice scene came and Draco's drawing too. As soon as Draco said the comment about falling into the monstrosity i.e. the toilet, Hermione gasped, "I've got it! That's hilarious!" She looked to Talya who confirmed her suspicion. 'Trust Hermione to figure it out.' Talya thought. The rest looked on with absolutely no clue as to what just happened.
'Hermione can't draw/Lupin can't sing' was met with laughter as was the Ron and Snape bromance. Yet again the mood shifted when 'The Coolest Girl' played, and was met with smiles as the song neared the end. Draco and the Potty monologue came and then the hilarious 'Permission Form to Hogsmeade' played. They were rolling around with laughter at the end of it.
The girls cooed at Malfoy writing his letter. "Did you girls just 'Aww' Malfoy?" Ron asked flabbergasted. He was just met with four stern looks. Lupin was seen giving Harry the Marauder's Map and those who knew of its existence shared a smirk.
xXxXxXxXxXx
"Well I've just been scarred!" George and Fred said simultaneously after 'Gettin' Along' played.
The Shrieking Shack scene came and they laughed at the stupidity of not knowing a werewolf. Everyone whooped and cheered when the trio finally became friends. Then they watched the Firenze the centaur scene and laughed at the costume and Ron's antics.
"Okay a bit grossed out with the 'coitus' bit!" Dean cringed. His cringe stayed when the 'Sacrificial Doe' part came.
The comical scene with Umbridge, Dumbledore and Snape had them in fits of laughter again.
"I can't believe I actually feel sorry for Umbridge." Ginny said uncomfortably. "Okay spoke to soon!" as Umbridge attacked Dumbledore.
The Death Eater ruse for the Quidditch game was shown and then Draco entered.
"Okay even I have to admit that was cute." Harry admitted to the 'You came to love me' part. 'Let the Games Begin' started playing.
"I like the way they are portraying the match." Luna commented. The Firebolt came and all the girls – bar Talya - blushed at the near nudity of Lupin. And then became more awkward at the broom, Ron and Hermione scene. They all applauded when Gryffindor won.
"Err gross, poopie flavour!" Neville grimaced when Lupin ate the Bertie Bott's bean.
xXxXxXxXxXx
"Alright I've got to admit that was harsh!" Ron declared after Lucius ripped Draco's picture and said he wasn't his son. The chaotic scene where Sirius had broken into the castle came, but everyone was chuckling at the Ron/Snape bromance again. Then Harry's rage scene came along with the map. 'Those Voices' started playing and the Mirror of Erised scene arrived. Harry's eyes were glassy. Everyone was in a grave mood. Sirius Black finally made his entry.
They all started chuckling again at the invisibility cloak scene and Snape's treatment of Harry.
"Um Talya…what does Sirius mean by, 'she picked James over you?'" Harry asked. Talya contemplated her answer and decided on the truth; anyway he would see the pensieve memory of his parents and Snape at Hogwarts.
"Your dad, mum and Snape all went to school together. Obviously Remus and Sirius went too. But your mum used to tolerate Snape, while the Marauders, well mostly your dad and Sirius, used to torment him. This musical is just extending on that." Harry nodded although he did think that Talya didn't tell him the full truth.
xXxXxXxXxXx
The confrontation scene with Umbridge and Dumbledore came, Umbridge became Headmistress and Snape seeing Lily in the mirror was met with shocked gasps.
The complaints of Umbridge's regime came and Lupin getting fired was met with 'Nooo's!'
"She is mental!" Ron yelled after the scene where Umbridge saw her dead Mama, showed just how psychotic she was. "More like bi-polar." Hermione added.
The evil plotting of Lucius and Umbridge came and 'Guys Like Potter' played to persuade Snape to join them in their plans. Harry watched intently and was quite sure that something similar to this happened while his parents were at school. He felt slightly bad for Snape but he couldn't forget how he mistreated him.
xXxXxXxXxXx
The detention was announced and the Harry/Snape heart to heart came. 'Drunken Snape is funny.' Ginny thought. Although the scene became very awkward when the motorboat part came. Harry walked to the detention. "I wasn't that dumb! It's obviously a trap." Harry argued for himself.
The twins laughed at Ron and Hermione's expense when they had their cute Spiderman scene. Although everyone had faces of surprise when 'Little D' was revealed to be Draco Malfoy. From the future. Leader of the centaurs.
"Ahh the Ron-Hermione-Draco love triangle begins again." Dean guffawed.
"Aww look Ronniekins is jealous." Fred joked.
"Yay Rumbleroar!" Harry joined in as another of Draco's paintings popped up. "Haha! Okay the poop nose thing was funny!"
xXxXxXxXxXx
"So that's where your text tone came from! 'Did you get my text?'" George mimicked.
The rescue mission using pizza was so funny and they cheered when Snape came to save them.
"Oh a prop malfunction!" Hermione mused.
"That's what you think." Talya responded pointedly. "Lupin's back!" she got the attention back to the musical.
"Yes they got that rat bastard!" Ron fist pumped, but soon was confused. "Wait, that's not Pettigrew?"
His question was answered as the Taylor Lautner poster morphed into Pettigrew. "Ohh!" Realisation dawned on Hermione. "They used the fake prop malfunction to steer us away from Pettigrew's real disguise."
As the scene played out, they all guffawed.
"Redvines, what the hell can't they do?!" all the boys chorused. The scene continued.
xXxXxXxXxXx
"Sirius! That's terrible advice about girls. We see where it came from now!" Ginny chastised. The play took a turn for the worse as Lupin transformed yet again, Pettigrew escaped and Sirius got injured. And then Umbridge re-entered.
"My absolute favourite scene is coming!" Talya clapped excitedly. She mouthed each and every line when Dumbledore came back too and then stood up and started singing, 'Stutter', much to the enjoyment of the others.
"Well don't you tell me to go and say I'm the one, d-d-do you think I'm dumb? I'm sorry did I just stutter? Won't tell you what you know, this is the end, you were never my friend, you were never my, you were never my lover!" and she proceeded to do the 'Dementor Dance' as everyone cheered along. However, when the song ended:
"Do they save Sirius?" Neville asked in a hushed tone.
xXxXxXxXxXx
"Draco saves the day!" Luna said, just as they travelled back in time.
"Eerily familiar right Hermione?" Harry asked with a smile. "I like the way they've portrayed the time travel sequence. Look at past Hermione! And Draco, the exact opposite of the girl who plays him." He said while laughing.
Talya once again sang with the cast, this time singing 'No Way.' "A good pep song right?" she asked the group. The play went on and they could see the storyline finally fitting into place.
"Hold on a second! Draco's real father?" Ginny asked. "Is this what you figured out before Mione?" Hermione nodded while stifling her giggles.
"DOBBY?!" Ron and Harry screeched. "This is too good, absolutely hilarious! What a great twist!" everyone wiped tears of laughter from their eyes when Lucius said his next line.
But again the mood changed when the Cruciatus Curse was used on the play-Hermione. Talya gave Neville a reassuring look. Luna broke the group's silence;
"Of course, a werewolf answers to its own call. That's where he disappeared to before."
The twins cheered when Lucius was attacked by Lupin, breaking the uneasy tension.
They all laughed freely at Umbridge's confusion of there being two sets of kids. And their comical Patroni.
Talya said a line with the rest of the cast; "It's Firenze, our centaur friend!"
The fighting scene was so entertaining, and the head-butt had everyone reeling.
"Hang on. Please tell me this isn't going where I think it's going." said Dean looking slightly sick. "Oh no! It is!" He continued when the fight ended and Firenze realised he finally found a woman strong enough for coitus. Everyone else's faces ranged from disgust to amusement as Umbridge was taken away.
"Yes! Lupin got the traitor rat!" Ron cheered.
"Sirius is free!" Harry rejoiced, wishing that this could happen in real life.
Draco and Hermione had their talk and everyone sucked in their breath or whistled lowly as it played out.
"Man that was harsh! Poor Draco!" Fred said.
"Yay Luna finally made her entry! Of course you would know about Pigfarts!" Neville laughed.
"Match made in heaven you and Malfoy are." Ginny teased Luna, while she ducked her head timidly.
"Last song guys!" Talya piped up as 'Days of Summer' played. After Harry's speech, the reprise of their favourite song played. Everyone who had watched 'A Very Potter Musical' joined in with Talya as she sang with such enthusiasm.
Harry looked to around the dorm at his friends and just couldn't help but smile. Talya had brought happiness to him with the simplest things.
A/N: and I thought the AVPM one was long. I can't believe the number of times I used 'laugh' in this. Siriusly couldn't find other synonyms…but all you can do when it comes to StarKid is laugh! xP
Hope you like it and also hope updates will be coming to you soon. x
