The Musical Hogwarts
Act 2
Scene 1
(In the Great Hall)
DUMBLEDORE: Everyone! I would like to announce that we are having a Spring Ball. It will be next Friday, April 12, at eight o'clock here in the Great Hall. I hope you all will attend and have a wonderful time.
GINNY: Did you hear that, Mione? A ball! And you'll go with Ron, I suppose?
HERMIONE: Of course! And you with Harry?
GINNY: I suppose. If he asks me.
HERMIONE: That's not a sure answer. Don't you love Harry?
GINNY: I'm not sure. But I'll know when I fall in love.
(song)
I'll know when my love comes along
I won't take a chance
Oh- oh- he'll be just what I need
not a fly by night broadway romance!
I'll know by that calm and steady voice
Those feet on the ground!
I'll know as I run into his arms
That at last I've come home safe and sound
And then I shall wait
And till then I'll be strong
For I'll know when my love comes along.
(the other end of table, Harry and Ron are sitting together.)
HARRY (spoken): So Ron, what do you think of that ball? Going with Hermione.
RON: Definately. And are you going to ask my little sister?
HARRY: Yes. I know I love her.
(sung)
I'll know when my love comes along
I'll know in my heart
I'll know and I won't ever ask
'Am I right, am I wise, am I smart?'
But I'll stop and I'll stare at that face in the throng
Yes, I'll know when my love comes along.
HARRY & GINNY: I'll know when my love comes along.
(song ends)
(by this point, they have both made it to the middle of the room and are facing each other.)
HARRY: Ginny, will you go to the ball with me?
GINNY: Yes, I'd love to, Harry.
(scene switches to the next Friday, at the ball.)
GINNY (grabs Harry's arm): Come on, Harry, let's dance!
HERMIONE: Ron, we should join them!
RON (embarassed): Erm, I would, Hermione, but... I don't know how to dance.
HERMIONE: Why, don't worry about that, Ron! I can teach you!
(song)
Shall we dance?
On a bright cloud of music shall we fly?
Shall we dance?
Shall we then say, 'goodnight' and mean 'good-bye?'
Or, perchance... when the last little star has left the sky
Shall we still be together with our arms around each other,
And shall you be my new romance?
On the clear understanding that this kind of thing can happen,
Shall we dance? Shall we dance? Shall we dance?
(spoken)
1, 2, 3, and 1, 2, 3, and 1, 2, 3, and 1...
(sung)Shall we dance?
RON: 1, 2, 3, and...
HERMIONE: On a bright cloud of music shall we fly?
RON: 1, 2, 3, and...
HERMIONE: Shall we dance?
RON: 1, 2, 3, and...
HERMIONE: Shall we then say goodnight and mean good-bye?
RON: 1, 2, 3, and... Or perchance...
When the last little star has left the sky
HERMIONE: Shall we still be together with our arms around each other
And shall you be my new
BOTH: Romance?
HERMIONE: On the clear understanding that this kind of thing can happen
BOTH: Shall we dance? Shall we dance? Shall we dance?
(song ends)
(Dumbledore has been walking around, observing the couples dancing. He notices Susan does not have a partner and walks up to her.)
DUMBLEDORE: Susan, would you like to sing the final song of the evening for us?
SUSAN: Of course, headmaster, I would love to.
DUMBLEDORE: Attention, students! We will now have the last song of the evening.
STUDENTS: Ohhh!
DUMBLEDORE: It will be sung by our very own Susan Bones, from Hufflepuff.
(Students cheer and clap, then begin to dance as she sings.)
SUSAN: (song)
A little maiden climbed an old man's knee
Begged for a story, "Do uncle, please.
Why are you single? Why live alone?
Have you no babies, have you no home?"
I had a sweetheart, years, years ago
Where she is now, pet, you will soon know.
Listen to the story, I'll tell it all
I believed her faithless after the ball.
After the ball is over, after the break of morn.
After the dancers leaving, after the stars are gone.
Many a heart is aching, if you could read them all.
Many the hopes that have vanished after the ball.
ALL: After the abll is over, after the break of morn
After the dancers leaving, after the stars are gone.
Many a heart is aching, if you could read them all.
Many the hopes that have vanished, after the ball.
(song ends)
DUMBLEDORE: Thank you, Susan. Students, you may all go back to your dormintories now.
(the students exit, leaving only Dumbledore and the other teachers.)
DUMBLEDORE (to professors): Now, you can clean up the hall. I would stay to help you, but Cornelius Fudge needs my help with some matter, and I must tend to it immeadiately.
(he exits.)
SNAPE: These kids! They're so messy, and discusting.
(song)
Kids! I don't know what's wrong with these kids today.
Kids! Who can understand anything they say?
MCGONAGALL: Kids! They are disobidient, disrespectful oafs!
Noisy, crazy, sloppy, lazy loafers!
FLITWICK: While we're on the subject: Kids! You can talk and talk til your face is blue!
Kids! But they still do just what they want to do!
ALL PROFESSORS: Why can't they be like we were, perfect in every way?
What's the matter with kids today?
LUPIN: Kids! I don't know what's wrong with these kids today!
Kids! Who can understand anything they say?
TRELAWNEY: Kids! They are disobedient, disrespectful oafs!
Noisy, crazy, sloppy, lazy loafers!
SPROUT: Why are they so dreadful? Kids!
They are just impossible to control!
Kids! With their awful clothes and their rock and roll!
ALL: Why can't they be like we were, perfect in every way?
What's the matter with kids today?
(Draco enters)
SNAPE (spoken): Mr. Malfoy, can we help you?
DRACO: I left something here, just let me get it.
(the professors continue their conversation, or should I say, song)
SNAPE: Kids! I don't know what's wrong with these kids today! Kids!
(Draco realizes their is a chance for him to suck up to his professors, so he takes the oppertunity. He steps up beside Snape)
DRACO: Even I don't understand what they say!
ALL: Kids!
DRACO: They are so ridiculous, and so immature!
I don't see why anybody wants them.
ALL: Why are they so dreadful? Kids! What the devil's wrong with these kids today?
Kids! Who could guess that they would turn out that way?
DRACO: Why can't they be like you were
DRACO & SNAPE: Perfect in every way?
ALL: What's the matter with kids today?
(song ends, end of scene)
