(Note…. I do not own Harry Potter, or Moulin Rouge, where I got the show idea from…. Percy the story bunny has been working overtime to make it my story)
Scene…. Harry, Hermione, Ron, Ginny, Seamus and Lavender are sitting in the common room having just seen a notice for a Griffindor/Slytherin school play…
"A play?????"
"With SLYTHERIN???"
"How old do they think we are????"
Seamus and Ron never liked the idea of a play. No wonder. They were both crud at acting.
"Oh come on you lot, it cant be that bad" Hermione, voice of reason.
"It could be fun!" Ginny, budding actress
"Fun my ar…"
"Ron, just cos you and Seamus and Harry are crud at acting
doesn't mean you cant make an effort"
"im not crud at acting!!!"
"Harry, you told me you were a sheep in a nativity play and fell asleep on stage"
"RON YOU BAST…"
"Ron, stop divulging Harry's secrets to the world at large, its not nice"
"Nice?"
"Does this mean we have to go to auditions?" moaned Seamus. Lavender tugged on his arm.
"It could be fun," she said
"Oh no, not you too…" groaned Ron.
"Yes, all six of us are going to audition. Right?"
They knew better than to argue with Hermione
"Im…im…..an UGLY SISTER??????"
"So am I!"
Hermione and Ginny burst out laughing at the look on Ron and Seamus's faces upon hearing their parts in the muggle play Cinderella. Harry just stood there looking at the board in shock.
"I'm Prince Charming? How sad is that?"
"Prince Charming?!?! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAA!!!"
"Shut up Ron…. or should I say…. Drusila?"
"Shut up Harry,"
"And you too…. Esmerelda"
"Shut up Harry,"
"Hey! I'm the fairy godmother!" Hermione shrieked, then paused. "Is that ethical or even REAL?"
"Nope…Prince Charming…" groaned Harry
"Im the maid to the prince" smiled Lavender softly
"OHMIGOD im Cinderella!" screamed Ginny
"Go Ginny!" said Hermione
Malfoy and Pansy walked over, smirks on their faces
"What's the screaming about…. mudblood…weasels…potter…um…. Irish-thingy"
"Ohmigod im the evil stepmother!!!!!" cried Pansy, choking Malfoy with a hug.
"Get off me woman…buttons? BUTTONS? They cast me as BUTTONS????"
Harry, Ron, Seamus, Hermione, Ginny and Lavender looked at Malfoy for a long time. Then they turned, went up to the portrait of the fat lady, gave her the password (chocolate frogs), climbed through the portrait into the common room, and sat down.
They remained in silence. Finally Ron choked out
"Buttons????!!!!????!!!"
They were still laughing a week later, and even then if Seamus whispered buttons they went off into uncontrollable fits of laughter…..and who can blame them?
(Buttons?!)
