Scene Three
(The scene opens up in Ginny McAfee's bedroom. She is talking on the phone. On the other side of the stage you see her best friend, Lavender Brown.)
LAVENDER: Ginny McAfee, what do you mean you're resigning from the Malfoy fan club? Just because Harry Potter gave you his pin doesn't mean you have to retire from all social life! I mean, going steady is important, but there are some things more important than very important, and the Draco Malfoy fan club is one of them!
GINNY: Oh, of course I'll still play his music every now and then, but I'm past that now.
LAVENDER: And the scream, Ginny, the scream. Do you mean that everytime Draco Malfoy is talked about, you're not going to go "Aaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhh!!" Oh, Ginny!
MRS. MCAFEE (From offstage): Ginny, darling, I need to use the phone!
GINNY: Lavender, I have to go. Look, I'm past those things now.
LAVENDER: Are you sure, Gin?
GINNY: Yes, I'm sure. Goodbye.

(song)
When you're a skinny child of fourteen wired with braces from ear to ear
You doubt that you could ever be appealing
Then hallejuiah you are sixteen and the braces disappear
And you have that happy grown up female feeling.
How lovely to be a woman
The wait was well worthwhile
How lovely to wear mascara and smile a woman's smile.
How lovely to have a figure that round instead of flat
When ever you hear boys whistle
You're what they're wistling at!
It's wonderful to feel the way a woman feels
It gives you such a glow just to know
You're wearing lipstick and heels!
How lovely to be a woman and have one job to do
To pick out a boy and train him
And then when you are through
You've made him the man you want him to be
How lovely when you're a woman like me.
It's wonderful to know the things a woman knows
How marvelous to wait for a date
In simply beautiful clothes!
How lovely to be a woman and change from boys to men
To go to a fancy night club and stay out after ten!
How lovely to me so grown up and free
Life's lovely when you're a woman like me!

(Mr. McAfee, Mrs, McAfee, and Randolf come onstage)
MRS. MCAFEE (coming on stage): Ginny, dear, there's a phone call for you.
GINNY: Thank you, Doris, I'll take it down there. (picks up phone) Hello? Yes, I'll wait.
MRS. MCAFEE: Well, the operator says it's long distance, only I can't imagine who could be calling, and... what did you say?
GINNY: I said thank you, Doris. Well, don't look so offended. It's modern to call your mother by her first name. It makes mother and daughter seem more like pals.
MRS. MCAFEE: I don't know, yesterday I was a mother, today I'm a pal. Couldn't you just call me Mum? That's modern.
GINNY: Doris, the times are changing, and you simply must keep up with them.
MRS. MCAFEE: Well, what about your father?
GINNY: I'll call him Henry, naturally.
MR. MCAFEE: Kids!
(Mrs. McAfee exits)
GINNY (on phone): Yes, this is Ginny McAfee. Yes, yes I heard you. All right, thank you. Goodbye. (hangs up phone.) What? Draco Malfoy... is coming here... to kiss me?! Doris? Mother? Mommy!
MRS. MCAFEE (running onstage): Yes, darling?
GINNY: It's Draco Malfoy, he's coming here to kiss me!
MRS. MCAFEE (embracing Ginny): That's wonderful!
GINNY: No, you don't understand! Draco Malfoy! Oh, Mommy!
MRS. MCAFEE: I never thought I'd say this, but God bless Draco Malfoy!
