Act One
Scene Three
(The scene is in Harry's apartment. Hermione, Harry, and Ron are there, and Ginny bursts in.)
GINNY: Harry!
HARRY: What is it?
GINNY: I... I have to tell you something. I have a confession to make.
HARRY: Well? What is it?
GINNY: Please don't be mad... I met Draco Malfoy in the woods, and... he kissed me.
(There is no response)
I'm sorry, Harry!
HARRY: How could you do this to me? I love you.
GINNY: I love you too! It was a mistake! Please! Let's just forget it. We can just move on.
HARRY: I don't see how we can move on from this...
GINNY: Is there anything we can do to stay together?
HARRY: We have to start over again. Start from square one.
GINNY: I will. Anything to stay with you, Harry. I love you. More than anything.
HARRY: How do you measure love?
GINNY: (sung)
Five hundred twenty five thousand six hundred minutes
Five hundred twenty five thousand moments so dear
Five hundred twenty five thousand six hundred minutes
How do you measure, measure a year?
HERMIONE: In daylights, in sunsets, in midnights
In cups of coffee
RON: In inches, in miles in laughter, in strife
In
GINNY: Five hundred twenty five thousand six hundred minutes
How do you measure a year in the life?
ALL THREE: How about love
How about love
How about love
meaure in love
Seasons of love
Seasons of love
GINNY: Five hundred twenty five thousand six hundred minutes
Five hundred twenty five thousand journeys to plan
Five hundred twenty five thousand six hundred minutes
How do you measure the life of a woman or a man?
HARRY: In truths that he learned
Or in times that she cried
In bridges he burned
Or the way that she died
ALL: It's time now, to sing out
For the story never ends
Let's celebrate remember a year
In the life of friends.
Remember the love
Remember the love
Remember the love
Measure in love
Seasons of love
Seasons of love
(song ends)
GINNY: I still love you, Harry. More than anything.
HARRY: I love you too, Gin. Let's try and put this behind us.
GINNY: Okay... and Harry?
HARRY: Yes?
GINNY: What about the wedding?
HARRY: Oh... if you want it to be, it's still on.
GINNY: Oh, thank you! I know we'll be so happy together.
(Hermione sneezes)
GINNY: Oh, Hermione! Are you okay?
HERMIONE: I've just been feeling a little down lately. I'm sure it's just a cold or something.
(She coughs)
RON: I hope you're okay.
HERMIONE: Yeah, I'm sure I'll be fine. (To Ginny) I'm so happy for you two. (to Ron) I wonder when it will be time for me to get married?
(Ron looks uncomfortable and shrugs. Hermione sighs.)
RON: Someday, Hermione.
GINNY: Hermione, I'd better go. Harry and I have some work to do. And I think we need to talk.
RON: And I've got to get to work. Sorry, Mione. Love you.
(The three leave)
HERMIONE: (sneezes again) Ugh. Let me look up in my mom's muggle book what these symptoms mean.
(She gets out a book, and starts leafing through it.)
HERMIONE: It's just as I thought. There's no muggle medicine or wizard spell to fix my problem.
(sung)
The average unmarried female, basically insecure
Due to some long frustration may react
With psychosomatic symptoms
difficult to endure
Affecting the upper respiratory tract.
In other words, just from waiting around for that plain little band of gold
A person can develop a cold.
You can spray her wherever you figure the streptococci lurk,
You can give her a shot for whatever she's got but it just won't work.
If she's tired of getting the fish eye from the Hogsmeade clerks
A person can develop a cold.
It says here:
The female remaining single
Just in the legal sense
Shows a neurotic tendency. See note.
Note: With chronic organic wyndromes,
toxic or hypertense
Involving the eyes, the ear, the nose and the throat.
In other words, just from worrying whether the wedding is on or off,
A person can develop a cough.
You can feed her all day with the Vitamin A and the Bromo Fizz
But the medicine never gets anywhere near where the trouble is.
If she's getting a kind of a name for herself and the name ain't "his",
A person can develop a cough.
And furthermore, just from stalling and stalling and stalling the wedding trip
A person can develop La grippe.
When they get on the train to go travelin' and she can hear church bells chime
The compartment is air conditioned, and the mood sublime.
Then they get off at Hogsmeade station for the fourteenth time
A person can develop La grippe,
La grippe, La post nasal drip
With the wheezes, and the sneezes, and the sinus that's really a pip!
From a lack of community property and a feeling she's getting too old
A person can develop a bad, bad cold.
(song ends)
(The scene changes, again to Draco's house. Pansy and Draco are there.)
DRACO: So, what's the news on Potter?
PANSY: Erm... well, it's not good.
DRACO: What?
PANSY: He's still with Ginny.
DRACO: How can this be? What a fool! I can't even manage to ruin his life!
PANSY: Um, I have something else to tell you.
DRACO: What is it?
PANSY: Well...
DRACO: Hurry up! Out with it!
PANSY: I'm going to... be having a baby.
DRACO: What? How can this be? I can't believe this! What am I going to do? I have to get out of here!
(Draco goes off stage, in a rage)
PANSY (to no one): But Draco... I love you.
(sung)
I don't know how to love him
What to do how to move him
I've been changed, yes really changed
In these past few days when I've seen myself
I seem like someone else.
I don't know how to take this
I don't see why he moves me
He's a man, he's just a man
And I've had so many men before, in very many ways
He's just one more.
Should I bring him down, should I scream and shout
Should I speak of love, let my feelings out?
I never thought I'd come to this
What's it all about?
Don't ya think it's rather funny
I should be in this position
I'm the one who's always been
So calm, so cool- no lover's fool
Running every show.
He scares me so.
I never thought I'd come to this
What's it all about?
Yet, if he said he loved me
I'd be lost, I'd be frightened
I couldn't cope, just couldn't cope
I'd turn my head, I'd back away
I wouldn't want to know
He scares me so.
I want him so.
I love him so.
(song ends, end of scene)

A/N: So sorry about the long update! I've been so busy with school, and with Pippin rehearsals. And then my computer wasn't working... Also, I lost my muse for this story for awhile, hopefully it's back now! That would be, with the help of the new music book I just got today ;-) Also, Draco, the villian of our plot, has been making more of an appearance, and Pansy has too!
Majestyic, nycgal- hey, I managed to work Seasons of Love in here!
