Yes it's part four!
Thanks to all the reviewers, and I hope you enjoy! This is the final part of this story. I've enjoyed writing it so much. Thanks for your support.
Disclaimer: I do not own the characters from Harry Potter; they are the property of JK Rowling's brilliant mind. I do not own the storyline from Buffy either, that is someone else's (Is it Joss Whedon?).
Last time:
(Harry runs into the underground chamber… dramatically)
"Show time."
On with the story:
Harry walked into the chambers depths. He could see Ginny and another sat opposite him. He squinted to see who, or what it was. He gasped. It was Tom Riddle.
"I love a good entrance," Tom said, grinning evilly.
"Well I know you're good at death scenes." Harry countered. Tom merely laughed.
"So what name are you going by now?" he questioned.
"Well, you know I have a few…" Tom began.
"How do I know what to call you if you're going to be Ron's brother in law?" Harry asked quickly.
"Harry, I swear I didn't do it," Ginny said desperately.
"It's alright," Harry placated, "you're not going anywhere."
"What?" Ginny asked puzzled.
"I am," Harry finished as he straightened himself. Tom looked interested.
"Here's the deal," Harry said, focusing on Tom, "If I can't kill you, you take me to hells-ville in her place."
"And what if I kill you?" Tom enquired silkily.
"Trust me, won't help," Harry said simply. Tom laughed a little.
"That's gloomy," Tom said, leaning back in his chair.
"That's life," Harry stated.
"Oh come on, is that what you really feel? Isn't life a miraculous thing?" Tom questioned, now leaning forward and scrutinizing Harry.
"I think you already know," Harry said, returning Tom's gaze.
HP: "Life's a show and we all play our parts,
And when the music starts,
We open up our hearts.
(Harry takes of his cloak/robe thing)
It's alright if some things come out wrong,
(Minions start closing in around Harry)
We'll sing a happy song
And you can sing along.
(Looks directly at where a camera would be)
Where there's life, there's hope,
(Starts fighting with the minions)
Every day's a gift,
(Throws off minion 1)
Wishes can come true
Whistle while you work
(Starts beating on minion 2 and then blasts minion 3 into oblivion)
So hard,
All day.
(the others come in)
To be like other guys,
To fit into this glittering life.
Don't give me songs,
("He needs back up," Sirius said, "Ron, Hermione,")
Don't give me songs.
(Ron and Hermione run to behind Harry and mime his actions)
Give me something to sing about.
RW and HG: "Ah..."
I need something to sing about.
(There is now a musical pause of fast, dance music, and Harry Ron and Hermione start to do a synchronised dance. The dance ends and Ron and Hermione turn and walk away)
Life's a song you don't get to rehearse,
And every single verse
Can make it that much worse.
(Spins over to where Draco, Fleur and Sirius are stood)
Still my friends don't know why ignore,
The million things or more,
I should be dancing for.
All the joy life sends,
Family and friends,
All the twists and bends,
Knowing that it ends,
(Is steadily moving closer to Tom and Ginny)
Well that depends,
On if they let you go,
On if they know enough to know,
(Starts climbing stairs towards Tom and Ginny)
That when you've vowed,
You leave the crowed.
(Is now facing Tom, and then the music slows)
There was no pain,
No fear, no doubt,
Till they pulled me out of Heaven.
(Turns to look at the group. Fleur is looking horrified and there are tears in her eyes)
So that's my refrain.
I live in hell,
'Cause I've been expelled from Heaven.
I think I was Heaven.
(Music changes back and Harry turns back to Tom)
So give me something to sing about.
Please, give me something …"
)Tom shakes his head and then stares at Harry. Harry jumps off the platform and starts to do the synchronised dance again. He dances faster and faster until he starts to smoke. Cho Chang runs in and grabs him by the shoulders, to stop him dancing)
CC: "Life's not a song,
Life isn't bliss,
Life is just this: it's living.
(She strokes his hair)
You'll get along.
The pain that you feel,
It only can heal by living.
You have to go on living,
So one of us is living."
(Ginny gets up)
GW (not singing): "The hardest thing in this world, is to live in it."
"Now that was a show stopping number," Tom said as he clapped lightly, "Not quite the fireworks I was hoping for…"
"Get out," Fleur hissed through her partial tears. Ron was touching her arm, trying to lend support. Tom looked at Fleur with interest.
"Hmm, I smell power," Tom said, still looking at Fleur, "Well I guess the little missus and I should be going."
"That's never going to happen," Sirius said strongly.
"I don't make the rules," Tom said shrugging, "she summoned me."
"I so did not," Ginny said vehemently, "he keeps saying that!"
"You have my diary sweet thing," Tom said silkily as he stroked the aforementioned book that she was holding. Everyone stared at Ginny.
"Oh," she stuttered, "this? No… at the common room… on the floor… I was cleaning and I… but I didn't summon anything," she finished.
"If it was in the common room," Sirius began, "Then one of us probably…" Everyone looked at each other. Draco looked sheepish and raised his hand.
"Draco!" Hermione said, unbelieving.
"Well I didn't know what was going to happen!" Draco said defensively, "I just thought there were going to be dances and songs," he said desperately to the group who were eyeing him wearily, "I just wanted to make sure we'd work out," Draco said to Hermione, smiling, "You know, get a happy ending…"
"I think everything worked out just fine," Tom said as he looked at Draco. Draco looked scared for a moment.
"Does this mean I have to… be your queen?" Draco asked apprehensively. Hermione looked at Tom with wide eyes.
"It's tempting," Tom said sarcastically, "But I think we'll wave that clause, just this once." Draco visibly slumped with relief.
"Big smiles everyone, you beat the bad guy," Tom said with a grin.
TR: "What a lot of fun,
You guys have been real swell.
And there's not a one
Who can say this ended well.
All those secrets you've been concealing,
Say you're happy now –
Once more with feeling.
Now I gotta run
See you all in hell!"
(With the final word, Tom disappeared in a puff of pink smoke and glided away. Everyone looked around. They were all shocked, and a little disturbed. Harry would not look Cho in the eyes, and Ron was still attempting to comfort Fleur. Ginny started to walk towards the stairs.)
GW: "Where do we go from here?"
HP and CC: "Where do we go from here?"
SB: "The battle's done, and we kind of won,
SB and RW: "So we sound our victory cheer.
Where do we go from here?
HG and DM: "Why is the path unclear?
When we know home is near."
(They all move into a line)
ALL: "Understand we'll go hand in hand,
(All join hands simultaneously)
But we walk alone in fear."
(All let go and walk in different directions)
SB: "Tell me,"
ALL: "Where do we go from here?
When does the end appear?"
(They all move backwards swinging their arms out. Cho backs into a pipe, "Bugger this!" and she leaves)
ALL (no CC): "When do the trumpets cheer?"
ALL: "The curtains close on a kiss –
God knows,
(Harry follows Cho outside)
We can tell the end is near.
Where do we go from here?"
"Cho!" Harry called to the retreating girl. She turned around and looked at him.
"You should go back inside," Cho said as her voice wavered, "Finish the big group sing, get your kum-by-ya-yas out."
"I don't want to," Harry said, pouting a little.
"When you finally figure out what you do want, there'll probably be a parade," Cho said desperately, "seventy-six bloody trombones!"
"Cho I…"
"Look you don't have to say anything…" she started.
"But…"
"Don't…"
HP: "I touch the fire and it freezes me,"
CC: "I died,"
HP: "I look into it and it's black,"
CC: "So many years ago,"
HP: "This isn't real…"
CC: "But you can make me…"
HP: "But I just wanna feel."
CC: "… Feel."
(They start to kiss passionately)
ALL (not HP and CC…obviously):
"Where do we go from here?"
