A/N: Ummm, hi everyone! I know I only updated just eleven days ago, but as I'm sitting here bored, I thought I might as well write something. So yeah, a massive thank you to Arrows the Wolf, SkyeElf, Lindsey and wingswordsandmetaphors for reviewing.
Arrows the Wolf- I'm very sorry I killed you with my Twilight reference. You can still review, can't you?
SkyeElf- Thank you! Glad you liked the chapter!
Lindsey- Wow I'm sorry I made you spit out your coffee! Glad you seemed to like it!
wingswordsandmetaphors- Haha, I thought that when I first watched it on YouTube, and I thought it couldn't say that! I guess it's just the way it's worded that makes it sound like that!

Listening to Made Of Stone- Evanescence.
"Is everyone ready to watch the next clip?"Professor Umbridge asked.
She didn't particularly want everyone watching this stupid musical, but the more she thought about it, the more Dolores realised that it was her own fault for showing the musical to the children. To her massive disappointment, the woman's question was answered with people yelling 'YES!"
('Harry' and 'Hermione' were sitting on abench. 'Harry' was holding a guitar, and 'Hermione' was holding anotepad and was writing a essay. 'Neville' was across the stage on a bench looking at his plant.)
"Where is this scene set? I mean, it can't be set in the Great Hall, or the other Houses would be there. So where is it set? Maybe it's in the Gryffindor Common Room? Yeah, I think it is there," Hermione asked Ron.
"How the bloody hell would I know?" Ron replied. "You're supposed to have all the answers, not me!"
Hermione: Harry, don't you think you should be trying to figure out what the first task is gonna be?You could actually die if you're not ready.
"Wow. Thanks for reminding me Hermione," Harry stated sarcastically.
"Sure. No problem," Hermione replied, clearly satisfied with what her other self was saying on the screen.
Harry: What? Come on. I 'mean, can't you just do it for me?
"How exactly are you going to learn anything if you don't do anything for yourself?" Hermione questioned Harry.
"I'll have you, of course!" Harry replied. Hermione glared at Harry for saying this, and Luna quickly rose to defend Hermione.
""It must be the Wrackspurts again. It apparently affects all boys in Hogwarts. It must have hit Harry particularly hard. It's quite common in boys who don't understand a lot of things."
"Wow. Thank you so much Luna!"
Harry: Can't you just prepare all of my stuff for me, I mean, what are you do right now?
('Harry' said All of this whilst playing the guitar.)
HERMIONE: I'm writing your potions essay.
"She better not be." Severus Snape said in a threatening voice. Just as he said this, Harry whispered to Hermione,
"You could do that, couldn't you?"
Hermione fortunately managed to shut Harry up before Luna went on a rant about Wrackspurts again.
Harry: ('Harry' stopped playing) Oh, well. Do that first 'cause that's due tomorrow.
"Yes sir!" Hermione muttered sarcastically. Ron heard this and grinned at Hermione.
"Do you think…" he started.
"NO!" Hermione yelled.
('Hermione' nodded) "
Harry: But after that, Can you prepare for the first task, Please?
Hermione: Ok.
Harry: Thank you, you are the best. ('Harry' poked 'Hermione's' nose)
Harry backed away slowly and whispered to Ron,
"Be careful of that."
"What, me?" Ron whispered back.
"Yes, obviously. Who else would it be?"
"Wow. The children are so adorable," Albus Dumbledore told Minerva.
"I'll tell you again Albus. I'm not having your children!" Minerva McGonagall said angrily.
"I told you Albus. She'll come around." Severus Snape replied in his droning voice.
Harry: You got it, thank Hermione.
('Harry' starts to play guitar again.)
('Ginny' entered bouncing a pencil in her fingers.)
"Aww, it's our cute little baby sister," Fred and George mocked.
"Fred, George stop being so mean to your little sister," Molly Weasley scolded.
"Mum," Ginny moaned. "I'm not a little girl anymore. I can take care of them myself!"
Molly scoffed at this, but remained silent.
Harry: Hey, Ginny, come here, I wanna show you something, come here.
"What do you want to show her Harry?" Charlie asked suspiciously.
"I don't know! It's not me, is it?" Harry replied angrily.
('Ginny' walked over)
Ginny: Hey, Harry Potter.
"Oh, why the stupid voice?" Ginny moaned, clearly not happy with her portrayal.
"She always has a stupid voice," Draco Malfoy stated bluntly, much to Astoria's disappointment.
"Oh please shut up Malfoy," Astoria groaned.
Harry: Listen, I wanna play this song that I'm working on. I met this girl I really really like and I want her to know that she's really special, so I just wanna know what you think, so just for the purpose of now, 'cause I'm still working on the lyrics,
Cho smiled at Harry when his screen self said this. Of course, the song was going to be about her.
Harry: I'm gonna put your name, where her name should be,
'No, that'd ruin the song completely.' Cho thought this to herself. Ginny smiled to herself, but then frowned slightly. Who was the song originally for, if not her?
Harry: but I don't think it's really gonna work out, Well, let's just give me a shot.
('Harry' started to play and sing)
Harry: You're tall and fun and pretty, you're really really skinny, Ginny.
"Aww thanks Harry," Ginny smiled. Then she realised that 'Harry' hadn't wrote the song for her. Her smile then, naturally, faded.
('Harry' scowled)
Harry: I'm the Mickey to your Minnie, you're the Tigger to my Winnie, Ginny, Gonna take you to the city, want to take you out to dinny, Ginny."What's 'dinny'? Is it like dinner? Has it got something to do with food? I love food." This came from none other than Ron Weasley. Of course, everyone was expecting this, so really it was no surprise that it was Hermione that answered.
"Yes Ron, it is dinner. Now, are you going to be quiet so the rest of us can watch this scene?"
"Yes," Ron replied timidly.
"Do you promise?"
"Yes," Ron once more replied. However, when Hermione looked away, Ron winked at Harry. Harry grinned, knowing that Ron didn't intend to keep his promise.
Harry: You're cuter than a guinea Pig, wanna take you out to Winnipeg, THAT'S in Canada!"Wow. The famous Harry Potter, our celebrity knows something." Snape sneered.
"Yeah. It's just a shame it was Muggle things he knows," Draco stated rather sarcastically. Astoria, Hermione, Luna and the Weasleys glared particularly hard at him.
"10 points from Slytherin for an unnecessary, rude, comment," Professor McGonagall said, glaring at Malfoy.
Draco started to object, but was silenced by Astoria.
"Please shut up Draco. I don't want you to lose anymore house points than you already have."
Harry: Ginny Ginny Ginn- ('Harry' stopped singing)
Harry: You know what, this doesn't work with me at all. But I don't know, how does it make you feel? Emotionally?
Ginny: WOW! Wowee, Harry Potter.
"Bloody hell Ginny! Are you going to shut up anytime soon?" Ron asked Ginny, a hint of a smile on his freckled face.
Ginny only smiled at Ron, pointing her wand at her brother's face.
Harry: Don't you think it could kinda, I don't know, make a girl fall in love with me?
Ginny: Oh, I think it already has.
Cho glared at Harry and Ginny for their characters saying this. She had noticed that since the play had started, Harry and Ginny had been talking more, and sitting much closer than Cho felt comfortable with.
'Oh well,' she thought sadly to herself. 'As long as he's happy, why should I care who he chooses to love?'
'But it should have been me," another voice in Cho's head told her.
Harry: Awesome, 'cause it's for Cho Chang!
('Harry' went back to playing his guitar.)
Ginny: Yeah, She's she is beautiful.
"Thank you Ginny," Cho smiled. She had grown to respect Ginny now.
Harry: Are you nuts? Beautiful, more like supermegafoxyawesomehot!She's the hottest girl I've ever met. She's far more attractive, far more appealing, far more interesting than any girl that I know in my immediate group of friends.
Hermione hit Harry hard on the head for this comment.
"How dare you?" she yelled. Harry flinched. Hermione could be pretty scary when she was angry.
"What did I do?" Harry asked.
"Nargles again," Luna said sadly.
Harry: She's a lot more better and Awesome.
('Ginny' got upset and played with her hair.)"Harry! How dare you! Just because you have the emotional range of a teaspoon…" Hermione started.
"All right, all right. I'm sorry Hermione, but it's not actually me saying or doing that. You do realise that, don't you?"
"Yeah, of course I do Harry. Sorry about hitting you by the way…" Hermione trailed off.
('Ron' entered the room and stood on the beach, carrying a bag of crisps.)
Ron: 'Sup Neville!
('Ron' slapped his head and went over to his friends.)
Ron: Move, move, move, move, move.
Ron: (To Ginny) Awesome. HEY, Harry what's up? So I was just off stage hanging out with Hagrid, and I was, I err, saw these delivery wizards, bringing giant cages into the dungeons, I don't know what that's for.
"You were off-stage hanging out with Hagrid?" Off-stage? That's breaking the fourth wall!" Hermione said.
"And the fourth wall is?" Ron asked.
Hermione answered before realising she had asked Ron not to ask questions.
"Well, it's where you acknowledge the audience, and break the illusion that what you are watching is real."
"Wow, thanks Hermione," Ron grinned, pleased he had got away with asking questions.
Hermione: Giant cages? I bet whatever is in those cages has something to do with the first task.
"Wow Hermione. You're supposed to be clever," Ernie said.
Ron: Got it.
Hermione: Harry, we have to find out what it is.
Harry: Hey, hey, hey guys, chill. I'm busy.
('Harry' played guitar with a stupid face.)"Nice face Potter," Draco smirked. Many Slytherins, surprisingly including Astoria, laughed at this. Harry glared at Astoria for this. He'd thought she was alright, but apparently she was like any other Slytherin- rude, mean and sarcastic.
Hermione: (muttered) Harry Potter.
('Hermione' walked up to him and took his guitar)
Ron + Ginny: NO! No, no, no, no, no, no, no! WOAH WOAH WOAH WAOH!
Ron: Woah!"Thanks Hermione," most students chorused in an impression of 'Harry' and 'Ron'.
Hermione: Guys! Now listen, this could be a matter of life and death.
"Not the first task," Harry muttered sadly.
Ron: Well, it doesn't matter, because it's after hours, okay? And we can't leave the Gryffindor house, we'll probably get in trouble if we do,and even if we do, Shlongbottom over there will tell on us anyway.
"Hey! I'm not Shlongbottom! My name is Neville Longbottom. Longbottom right, not Shlongbottom." Neville stood up and said angrily.
"Don't boast about it," Malfoy said, smiling. It was just a little bit scary to see someone like Draco Malfoy smiling, and it made Neville so scared that he slowly sank back into his chair nervously. Astoria glared at Draco.
"I only laughed before because I genuinely thought it was funny. What you just said was bullying."
"Yeah, and I was mean to Harry as well," Draco retorted.
"Like I said," Astoria began confidently, "I thought it was funny.
Draco rolled his eyes. Why did girls have to be so bloody confusing?
Hermione: Neville won't tell.
Neville: Oh yes, I most certainly will."Thanks Neville," Ron groaned.
Ron: What are we gonna do?
Hermione: Simple guys, the cloak.
Ron: Of course.
Harry + Ron + Ginny: (all standing) The cloak.
"Well, that was rather unnecessarily dramatic," Professor McGonagall said, barely concealing her laughter.
Ginny: Wait, what cloak?
Ron: Shut up! ('Ron' clapped his hands over her head)
"That's not nice Ronald," Molly complained.
"Mum! It's not me!"
Harry: Well, last year, I got a present left for me -Oh bye Neville- I got a present left to me at my first year at Hogwarts. And, uh, it was left to me, by my Dad, the dad that's dad, my father is dead.
"Do they really have to remind me?" Harry asked. No one answered. They were too upset.
Harry: I have a dead father. He used this himself, this is my invisibility cloak.
There was silence as both students and staff mourned over the losses of Lily and James Potter. After what seemed like an eternity, Albus Dumbledore raised his goblet in memory of Harry's parents. The rest of the hall followed suit, each raising their own goblet as one. Molly and Arthur cried and hugged Harry. He shouldn't have had to watch while his peers raised their goblets because Lily and James should have been here.
Ron: Yeah!
Ginny: Oh Boy! Oh wowee Harry Potter! You have a real invisibility cloak.Oh, Oh. Do you know what I would do if I had an invisibility cloak?
Harry: I would, I would kick wiener dogs.
"That's not nice Harry," Hermione whispered softly to her best friend. But she whispered it half-heartedly. She too was upset at the whole injustice of Harry's parents death- she had both of her parents and was eternally grateful for them.
Ron: And I would pretend to be a ghost and I would scare mean people.
"I'll join you on that one actually Ron," Harry smiled. He was finally getting happier again.
Hermione: I'd use it to avoid ever having to face my reflection in the mirror.
Harry: That's a good one.
Ron: Jesus.
"HARRY!" Ginny exclaimed.
"It's NOT me!" Harry moaned. This was getting confusing.
Ginny: Well, actually, I was gonna say that I would use it to fake my own death and watch people cry at the funeral.
"Oh, Ginny! I'd cry at your funeral," Luna, Neville and Hermione cried out. Ginny smiled at them, and then glared at her family and Harry, who looked back sheepishly.
"Well? Why wouldn't you cry?"
At once, her family and Harry all answered.
"We would cry, but we don't want to have to. We should die before you do anyway.""
Harry: Okay, anyway. lets get out of here, before Neville gets back. (They all stared to head for the door)
Ron: Woah woah woah woah, where do you think you're going?
Ginny: Umm, with you guys?
Ron: No no no, no way, no kid sisters allowed, okay?
('Ron' clapped his hands above his head with his tongue sticking out)
Ron: Besides, theres only enough room under this cloak for two people.
('Hermione' looked upset)
Ron: So, err, come on Hermione, come on.
"Okay, that's just not fair! Is Hermione not a person or something? Or am I too stupid to help you, just because I'm your little sister? Because in case you hadn't realised Ron, I've been through just as much as you, Hermione and Harry have! Remember my first year?"
Ron looked upset at Ginny's outburst.
"Ginny," he hesitatingly began. "You know I love you, don't you? I know how hard your first year was on you, but don't you think it was hard on me too? I was near Harry when he saved you, and there was nothing I could do. I felt so bloody guilty Ginny! Guilty that I couldn't have been the one to save you. I'm glad Harry saved you, but I'm your older brother Ginny! I'm supposed to protect you from danger and things like that, but I couldn't because I was stupid. I could have lost you Ginny, and I don't want either of us to go through that again."
When Ron stopped talking, he looked at his little sister and pulled Ginny into a hug. The gesture was so simple, but there were many meanings and intense feelings that weren't shown- love being the most intense emotion of them all.
(Hermione gave the guitar to Ginny)
Ginny (singing): The way his hair falls in his eyes, makes me wonder if he, ever sees through my disguise, and I'm under his spell.
"Who are you talking about, Ginny?" Neville asked.
"Don't be so stupid Longbottom," Draco snarled.
"Hey!"
Draco continued, "Well, let's see shall we? I highly doubt Ginny is a lesbian, so Hermione's out of the picture. Ron is her brother. No one would ever love you Longbottom, so that leaves us with Potter."
"Wow Draco," Astoria whispered, clearly surprised. "That was actually pretty intelligent."
Harry felt his insides turning to goo, but he kind of liked the weird feeling he had when he looked at Ginny.
Ginny: Everything is falling, and I don't know where to land, everyone knows who he is, but they don't know who I am.
('Ginny' sings to the guitar)
Ginny: Haaaaaaaaaaarry. Haaaaaaaaaaaarry.
"Ginny, you really can't sing!" Bill groaned, although he was grinning at his younger sibling fondly.
"Hey! It doesn't matter. I'm expressing my deepest emotions and feelings, so it doesn't matter!"
Ginny: Why can't you see, what you're doing to me?"Clearly not Ginny," said Hermione, glaring at Harry.
Ginny: I've seen you conquer certain death, even when your just standing there, you take away my breath, and maybe. Some day you'll hear my song and, understand that all along, theres something more that i'm trying to saaaayy! Then I say! Haaaaaaaaaaaarry!
"Please don't sing Weaslette. You're damaging my ears." Draco sneered.
"Actually, I think Ginny is a pretty good singer," Astoria replied, glaring at her favourite Slytherin.
"Wait, who's side are you on here?" Draco demanded.
"Until you stop being such a jerk, I'm on the Gryffindor side."
Draco gaped at her, as did many other students; Gryffindors and Slytherins were united at their shock towards Astoria to remember that they were supposed to hate each other, and actually started smiling at each other. It really was shocking for the staff, not least Dumbledore who questioned Minerva about the school society, resulting in an argument between Severus Snape and Minerva McGonagall.
Ginny: Haaaaaaaarry! Why can't you see, what your doing to me? (hugs guitar) What you're doing to me? ('Ginny' sighs). What you're doing to me.
Harry stared at Ginny. Ginny stared back at him. She got up from where she was sitting and sat next to him. Then she hugged him. It wasn't a romantic hug, but more of an 'I love you in a romantic way, but you're also my best friend' way. They broke apart from their hug, and just smiled at each other, knowing that they had just found love with their best friend.
