The Musical Hogwarts
Act 2
Scene 2
(In the Gryffindor Common Room)
HERMIONE: I have to study! The finals are coming up, what am I going to do!
HARRY: Geez, Hermione, it's not that important.
HERMIONE: Not important! This could mean what happens to us after school. Never thought about that, did you, Harry?
GINNY: Hermione, if you get too stressed, you'll never be able to handle it. After all, I have to take my OWLs this year as well.
HERMIONE: Ginny, how do you handle it?
GINNY: I'm an optimist. I'm not going to let tests and school ruin my life.
(song)
When the sky is a bright canary yellow
I forget every cloud I've ever seen
So they call me a cockeyed optimist
Immature and incurable green!
I have heard people rant and rave and bellow
That we're done and we might as well be dead
But I'm only a cockeyed optimist, and I can't get it into my head.
I hear the human race is falling on it's face and hasn't very far to go
But every whippoorwill is selling me a bill and telling me it just ain't so!
I could say life is just a bowl of jello
And appear more intelligent and smart
But I'm stuck like a dope with a thing called hope
And I can't get it out of my heart...
Not this heart.
(song ends)
RON: Touching Ginny, really.
GINNY: Come on, Ron, we've all got our little secrets about how we feel. Even you do.
RON: All I know about life is that I want to be with Hermione forever and ever.
FRED: Aww, how sweet.
HERMIONE: Come on, Harry, don't be mean. It's true. I love Ron.
RON: And I love Hermione.
GEORGE: They're making me sick.
FRED: I think it's time we got outta here.
GEORGE: Right, let's go!
HERMIONE: Oh, stop, what would you know about real love?
GEORGE: Absolutely nothing.
FRED: Which is why we're leaving.
(Fred and George exit)
RON: Well, Ginny, that's how I feel.
(song)
In whatever time we have for as long as we are living
We can face whatever comes if we face it now as one.
I could make it on my own, let me know that I don't have to
No one really wants to be alone
In whatever time we have
If at times we are afraid with so little to believe in
It's all right to feel afraid, I will hold you in the dark
All we know for sure is this, for the world could end tomorrow
You and I will be together in whatever time
HERMIONE: In whatever time
BOTH: We have
HERMIONE: For as long as we are living
We can face whatever comes if we face it now as one
RON: We know life can be a battlefield
But we won't run and we won't hide
You'll be my fortress and I will be your shield
BOTH: No one really wants to be alone
In whatever time we have
HERMIONE: There are times I've been afraid in a world that so uncertain
Then I feel your hand in mine and there's courage in my heart
RON: We could live a hundred years
BOTH: Or the world could end tomorrow
Be we know we'll be together in whatever time
From this day forward nights won't seem so black
From this day forward we will never look back.
In whatever time we have we will make the most of time
And at least we'll be together in whatever time we have.
(song ends)
HERMIONE: Well, now we've all confessed our true feelings. Except you, Harry.
RON: Yeah, come on Harry, out with it!
GINNY: Yeah, what do you want to do when you're older.
HARRY: Well, all I know is that I want to move.
RON: Where?
HARRY: The United States.
GINNY: Where in the United States?
HARRY: Gary, Indiana.
(song)
Gary Indiana, Gary Indiana, Gary Indiana let me say it once again.
Gary Indiana, Gary Indiana, Gary Indiana that's the town that knew me when.
RON (spoken): You were never in Gary, Indiana!
HARRY (sung): If you'd like to have a logical explanation
How I happened on this elegant syncopation.
I will say without a moment of hesitation
There is just one place that can light my face.
GINNY: Gary Indiana
HERMIONE: Gary Indiana
HARRY: Not Louisiana, Paris, France, New York, or Rome but
Gary Indiana
RON: Gary Indiana?
ALL: Gary Indiana,
My home sweet home!
(song ends)
RON: Are you serious, Harry?
HARRY: No, of course not! I was just kidding!
GINNY: Really?
HARRY: Yeah!
HERMIONE: Thank goodness!
RON: You were scaring us, Harry!
GINNY: I'm tired, I think I'm going to bed.
RON: Ok. Night, Gin.
HARRY: Goodnight, Ginny.
(Ginny exits)
HERMIONE: Still, we have a lot of work to do. We must think about our future.
RON: Yeah, Harry, what do you think? Seriously.
HARRY: I think I'd like to get married, and maybe have kids.
RON: Are you gonna marry my sister?
HARRY: I'd like to. Do you think I should ask her?
HERMIONE: Oh, Harry, that's so romantic! Of course! And you could have a summer wedding, after we graduate, outside!
HARRY: Yes, I'd like that.
(song)
The girl that I marry will have to be as soft and as pink as a nursery
The girl I call my own will wear satins, and laces, and smell of cologne.
Her nails will be polished, and in her hair, she'll wear a gardenia, and I'll be there.
Stead of flitting, I'd be sitting
Next to her and she'd purr like a kitten.
A doll I can carry, the girl that I marry must be.
(song ends)

A/N: Okay, I know that wasn't such a great chapter, but I had writer's block! The next ones will be so much better. Actually, I started writing this chapter on my birthday (April 12) Happy birthday to me! All right, well, I'm late for Showboat rehearsal, so I gotta go!
