(Lights come up on The Three Broomsticks, where the youths, led by Oliver Wood, meet to discuss their plans)
SEAMUS FINNEGAN
At Diagon Alley the sections are prepared!
MANDY BROCKLEHURST
At Beauxbatons they're straining at the leash!
NEVILLE LONGBOTTOM
Wizards, witches, everyone
There's a river on the run
Like the flowing of the tide
Wizards coming to our side!
OLIVER
The time is near
So near it's stirring the blood in their veins!
And yet beware
Don't let the butter beer go to your brains!
For You-Know-Who is a dangerous foe
With the men and power that we never can match
It is easy to sit here and swat 'em like flies
But the infamous Dark Lord will be harder to catch.
We need a sign
To rally the people
To call them to arms
To bring them in line!
(Hermione enters)
Hermione, you're late.
KATIE BELL
What's wrong today?
You look as if you've seen a ghost.
LEE JORDAN
Some butterbeer and say what's going on!
HERMIONE
A ghost you say... a ghost maybe
He was just like a ghost to me
One minute there, and he was gone!
LEE
I am agog!
I am aghast!
Is Hermione in love at last?
I've never seen her `ooh' and `aah'
You talk of battles to be won
And here she comes like Don Ju-an
It's better than an o-per-a!
OLIVER
It is time for us all
To decide who we are
Do we fight for the right
To a night at the opera now?
Have you asked of yourselves
What's the price you might pay?
Is it simply a game
For young students to play?
The color of the world
Is changing day by day...
Red - the blood of angry men!
Black - the dark of ages past!
Red - a world about to dawn!
Black - the night that ends at last!
HERMIONE
Had you been there tonight
You might know how it feels
To be struck to the bone
In a moment of breathless delight!
Had you been there tonight
You might also have known
How the world may be changed
In just one burst of light!
And what was right seems wrong
And what was wrong seems right!
LEE
Red...
HERMIONE
I feel my soul on fire!
LEE
Black...
HERMIONE
My world if he's not there!
ALL
Red...
HERMIONE
The color of desire!
ALL
Black...
HERMIONE
The color of despair!
OLIVER
Hermione, you're no longer a child
I do not doubt you mean it well
But now there is a higher call.
Who cares about your lonely soul?
We strive towards a larger goal
Our little lives don't count at all!
ALL
Red - the blood of angry men!
Black - the dark of ages past!
Red - a world about to dawn!
Black - the night that ends at last!
OLIVER
Well, Longbottom, do we have enough men?
Spinnet, Finnegan, our time is running short.
Johnson, put the bottle down!
Do we have the masses we need?
LEE
Give me brandy on my breath
And I'll breathe them all to death!
NEVILLE
In old Hogsmeade they're with us to a man!
SEAMUS
In Diagon Alley they're tearing up the stones!
MANDY
Twenty people strong and young!
(Dennis Creevey rushes in shouting)
DENNIS
Listen!
KATIE BELL
Twenty students from Durmstrang!
DENNIS
Listen to me!
ERNIE MACMILLAN
Double that in Salem, Mass!
DENNIS
Listen everybody!
JUSTIN FINCH FLETCHEY
Seven men in Nagano!
DENNIS
Professor Dumbledore is dead!
OLIVER
Dumbledore is dead.
Dumbledore! His death is the hour of fate.
The people's man.
His death is the sign we await!
On his funeral day they will honor his name.
It's a rallying cry that will reach every ear!
In the death of Dumbledore we will kindle the flame
They will see that the day of salvation is near!
The time is near!
Let us welcome it gladly with courage and cheer
Let us take to the streets with no doubt in our hearts
But a jubilant shout
They will come one and all
They will come when we call!
Sorry it took so long to post this, I kind of lost interest for a while, and then got sick, and then went to visit my relatives over Thanksgiving...But...
Thanks to my reviewers (if it wasn't for you, I would not have posted this chapter, reviews are so encouraging!!!)!!:
Eponine- I don't know...I really wanted to have Ginny as Eponine, but then Harry would have to be Marius, and the whole point is that he fits so well as Cosette, with Sirius Black and Valjean.
blueeyed-angel- yes, he is misunderstood, I hope he falls in love, that would be great.
marzoog-yes, I have to make it H/H. Just remember, this is a crossover of Les Miz the show and HP, not of the book and HP.
Icerain- Of course I've heard the soundtrack multiple times...and I listen to the songs repetitively when I'm writing. I wish I could know it off the top of my head after only seeing it once! You're so lucky you got to do Les Miz at your school, we are stuck with Lil' Abner and Godspell, which aren't horrible or anything, actually the music in Godspell is great, it's just all those Bible stories...but I've never gotten to do a play that I love. I wish we could do Rent, that would be beyond awesome...
Meryl-My favorite is "What have I done, Sweet Jesus what have I done, Become a thief in the night, Become a dog on the run", I was so pleased with how that turned out.
