Act Two
Scene One
(In the McAfee's home. Hermione and Ginny are in Ginny's room.)
HERMIONE (song):
Eight years, eight years
That's how long I wasted on him
That's all, I'm through
Ronald, dear, to put it sweetly,
To hell with you!
(spoken)
That's right Ron, to hell with you! I will no longer sit around to be bossed around by... by... by a six foot tower of jello!
(sung)
What did I ever see in him?
How did I ever get involved that way?
Now that it's over I can smile and say
What did I ever see in him?
Boy, I was way out on a limb.
Now that my feet are on the ground again
Now that my senses have been found again
What did I ever see in him?
Is he tender? No, he's not!
Is he thoughtful? No, he's not!
Am I crazy?
What's he got that I found so damn appealing?
What did he ever do for me?
Well to be honest he was sometimes nice
But still it wasn't worth that awful price
It was rough from the start
Broken dates, broken nails, broken heart
How did I ever? Why did I ever? What did I ever?
GINNY (Spoken): Why, Miss Granger, all men can't be that bad.
HERMIONE: They are, Ginny, every single one of them. From puberty to senility, from Benedict Arnold to Mussolini.
GINNY: Then what are we poor women to do?
HERMIONE: Get out. Sip from the brimming cup of life, and create our potions to use men as our play things. I'm going out to live!
GINNY & HERMIONE (sung):
Do we need them? No, we don't!
Do we want them? No, we don't!
GINNY: Will we leave them?
HERMIONE: No we won't!
Tell me, what did I say that for?
BOTH: What did we ever see in them?
How could we ever think that they were nice?
Take it from us we paid an awful price.
It was rough from the start
Broken dates, broken nails, broken heart!
What did I ever see in-
GINNY (spoken): Harry James Potter! You were right Miss Granger, I have to go out and live! I'm coming on the town with you tonight!
HERMIONE: Oh, no, Ginny, you're too young! How about some milk and cookies?
GINNY: It's too late for milk and cookies. I have to get out! Sip from the brimming cup of life and make our potions together. I have to go get changed!
(Ginny goes running off, Ron comes on.)
RON: There she is, the traitor that almost ruined my career! Well, I'll have you know that thanks to Mama's quick thinking, the kiss will take place after all. Before Draco gets on the train tomorrow back to New York. So, you have failed. As anyone would fail that tries to book Ronald Weasley. One of the titans, one of the giants, one of the King Kongs of the music industry-

(Hermione pushes past him)
HERMIONE: Out of my way, you warped Potions teacher!
(sung)
What did I ever see in him?
(Hermione exits)
RON: No, Hermione, please, come back, I'm sorry-
(The McAfee Family comes on)
RON: And I'm sorry, but I simply cannot take you back, Hermione, no matter how much you plead or beg. (To the McAfees) I'm sorry to have to do this in front of you folks.
(Ginny enters)
MR. MCAFEE: Just where do you think you're going, young lady?
GINNY: I'm going out to live! To sip from the brimming cup of life!
MR. MCAFEE: Oh no you're not! Upstairs, now!
GINNY: Miss Granger was right! You're all the same- from puberty to Mussolini!
(Ginny exits)
MR. MCAFEE: All I wanted was a little respect. But did I get respect? No, I got no respect!
RANDOLPH: I respect you, Pa!
MR. MCAFEE: I don't want your respect! You're a child! What good's respect from a child? There were certain words I never wanted to hear in this house. Puberty was the first. Mussolini was the second. And respect was the third!
(The McAfees exit)
(Mrs. Weasley enters)
RON: Hermione, I need you!
MRS. WEASLEY: What do you need with her?
RON: I have to find her! Mama, if you really loved me you would help me find her!
MRS. WEASLEY: Well, all right dear. I'll help you find Hermione. Only... maybe I'd better give you the message from Draco first.
RON: What message?
MRS. WEASLEY: Oh, nothing. Just that he's going out tonight, and he doesn't think he'll be back in time to kiss Ginny tomorrow.
RON: Draco!
(Draco comes on)
DRACO: Take it easy, Ron, I'm coming.
RON: I forbid you to go out tonight.
DRACO: I want to live. Come on, it's my last night before joining the fight, I want to get out and meet some young chicks. I'm tense!
RON: Mama, do something!
MRS. WEASLEY: Draco, did you ever think in terms of a more mature woman?
DRACO: Man, I hope I never get that tense.
RON: Mama, get the contract. Never mind, I'll get it. Draco, don't move!
(Ron exits)
MRS. WEASLEY: Oh, Draco!
(Mrs. Weasley exits)
