The Musical Hogwarts
(the scene starts in Dumbledore's office. He is sitting at his desk. Suddenly, Professor Snape comes running in.)
SNAPE: Albus, look. (Snape rolls up his sleeve to show the dark mark, which is, indeed, very dark.)
DUMBLEDORE: Oh, it's just as I feared. Voldemort (Snape flinches) is near. I'm afraid he will invade Hogwarts tonight. Get all the teachers and have them gather the students in The Great Hall. It's the safest place. And hurry, Severus.
SNAPE: Of course.
(Snape exits.)
DUMBLEDORE: I just don't understand it. Why must we have wars and such? Why can't we just get along? Why must Lord Voldemort involve the children? It shouldn't involve them.
(song)
Tryanny or justice, Anarchy or law
We must defend our honor- I've heard it all before.
I've heard it all a hundred times
I've heard it all before.
They've always got a holy cause that's worth the dyin' for
Someone writes a slogan, raises up a flag-
Someone finds an enemy to blame.
And always- the ending is the same.
The same. the same. The same.
The dream has turned to ashes
The wheat has turned to straw.
And someone asks the question- What was the dying for?
The living can't remember- The dead no longer care
But next time it won't happen upon my soul I swear
I've heard it all a hundred times. I've heard it all before.
Don't tell me "It's different now."
I've heard it all- I've heard it all-
I've heard it all before!
(song ends)
I suppose I must get down to the Great Hall. He may be after Harry Potter again.
(the scene changes to the Great Hall. All students and teachers are there. They are sitting in huddled masses, either frightened or excited.)
DUMBLEDORE: Please calm down. We have done our best to protect you in here. There are safety devices hooked up, and you have a very competent staff of professors. So no need to be alarmed, really, I think-
(Dumbledore is interupted. There is the sound of breaking glass, then rolling thunder. Voldemort is seen in the shadows. Several screams are heard)
RON: It's You-Know-Who!
SEAMUS: He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named!
HARRY (whispering): Voldemort.
RON: Don't say the bloody name!
VOLDEMORT: (song)
Strong men tremble when they hear it
They've got cause enough to fear it
It's much blacker than they smear it
Nobody mentions my name!
Rich men hold their galleons out
Saves me emptying their coats out
They know I could tear their throats out
Just to live up to my Name!
With me wand in me hand, let me see the man who dares
Stop me killing who I may- he can start to say his prayers!
Strong men tremble when they hear it
They've got cause enough to fear it
It's much blacker than they smear it
Nobody mentions... my name!
Voldemort!
(Many people gasp. One or two people scream. Hermione faints into Ron's arms. Ginny is gripping Harry's hand tightly. Ron is very pale.)
One bloke used to boast the claim- he could take my name in vain
Poor bloke, shame he was so green- never was he seen again!
Once bad, what's the good of turning in hell, I'll be there a-burning.
Meanwhile, think of what I'm earning all on account of my name!
What is it? What is it? What is it? My name!
(song ends.)
(the hall is silent. Voldemort studies the children. He turns to the Gryffindors. Everyone is scared stiff.)
VOLDEMORT (pointing his wand at Harry): Avada Keda-
(Suddenly, Ginny leaps up and knocks his wand away. He retrives it, but turns to Ginny with a fiery stare.)
HARRY: Ginny! You saved my life!
GINNY: (song)
I am the tree holding away the storm
Here in my arms I'll keep you safe and warm
Even the gods won't dare to cross this line
Now your life is forever mine.
HARRY & GINNY: And you are mine.
VOLDEMORT: Mine!
Arrogant fool!
Think you can hold back death!
GINNY: Stay away!
VOLDEMORT: This boy is mine
I am his dying breath
GINNY: I won't let you have him!
VOLDEMORT: Sure as the grave you must accept what is
Now his life is forever mine!
GINNY: Take mine for his!
VOLDEMORT (whispers): What?
GINNY: Take my life... my soul... for his...
VOLDEMORT: I am the road leading to no return
GINNY: I would die for him!
VOLDEMORT: Secret of life nobody wants to learn
I am the road
racing toward distant shores
GINNY: Now his life is forever mine...
VOLDEMORT: Your life is forever mine...
GINNY: And I am yours.
(song ends.)
VOLDEMORT: Fine, then, Miss Virginia Weasley, I will kill you.
HARRY: No, Ginny. (Puts his arm around Ginny. To Voldemort:) You'll have to kill both of us.
VOLDEMORT: Have it your way, Potter. Avada Kedava!
(The spell reaches Ginny and Harry, but their love is too strong for Voldemort. The spell bounces off and hits Voldemort, killing him.)
(The students tentitively begin to clap, then to cheer, as they realize Voldemort is gone forever. The couples, Ginny and Harry, and Hermione and Ron, are embracing.)
DUMBLEDORE: Please settle down! Although the worst is over, not everything is. Soon, we will have to deal with the death eaters. If you are too frightened, please go back to your common rooms, where there is hot cocoa waiting for you.
(No one wants to leave. They remain in the Great Hall)
(end of scene)

A/N: Sorry this chapter was a little short. I was so excited, it was so brilliant- I was dying to use a song from Oliver, one of my favorite musicals, but I couldn't find one that fit. I was looking through the song list- and came across My Name. It was so perfect- "Men tremble when they hear it" and "Nobody mentions my name" it all fit in with Voldemort so perfectly. Also, I'm only going to have one more chapter, which should be out soon, because I already know what songs I'm putting in it. Anyway, thanks to everyone that reviewed, and please review!
CoolGalz- Thanks. I always enjoy making people laugh.
lutra- erm.. I'm not sure whether that's a compliment or not... but being the optimist that I am, I'll take it as one. So thanks!
Disclaimer: If I owned Harry Potter, I wouldn't be posting my stories on some internet site, would I?
