Disclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter, the characters nor do I own Newsies! However much I wish I did…

A/N: Well here it is folks! The moment you've all been waiting for! (at least I think it's the moment you've all been waiting for…)The start of the play! Now, for your lovely reviews I was wondering if you could help me out! I've never written a play before and most of this was copied off of the internet…the lyrics that is, and I need some advice on how to set it all up. And a lot of spelling mistakes are in here because the show has a new york accent and some of it I have changed around so it makes more sense but a lot of it I left in there because that's how they talk. But I'd appreciate any advice I can get! Thanks! Enjoy!

Last time on Why Romeo REALLY Killed Himself…

"This is unbelievable? You hear her Harry?" Ron asked turning to his best friend. Harry smiled lightly.

"You kiss Malfoy and see how you'd act." Harry laughed but Ron found nothing funny.

"That's not funny Harry." Ron grumbled. Harry just continued to laugh.

Now on Why Romeo REALLY Killed Himself…

"Costumes are here!" Johnson called the second she walked into rehearsal. Immediately after her announcement Flint walked in with a stack of boxes.

"Oy! A little help here!" Flint called angrily. Immediately Harry and Draco ran to catch the boxes. Once everything was safely on the table, Johnson opened one of the boxes.

"Alright, here's Medda's costume!" She called. Ginny Weasley, who was chosen for the part of the beautiful woman, walked forward excitedly. Johnson pulled out the sparkling, pink outfit and handed it to the youngest Weasley. "Once you get your costume you may go change. Today we're just going to make little adjustments and test out costumes. Next time will be a dress rehearsal and then the performance." Johnson explained.

"Kid Blink?" Flint called. He had opened another box and was muddling through it. Blaise Zabini walked forward and took his costume and eye patch.

"Denton?" Johnson called. Neville Longbottom walked forward and took the suit and bowler hat. "Less?" A first year Ravenclaw boy named Kevin was chosen for the youngest lead role and kid brother to David and Sarah. He quickly snatched his costume and left to change. "Spot?" Johnson called. Cho Chang stepped forward to take her costume. Because the show was almost all boys and there was a lack of boys trying out, some of the girls had to play those roles.

"Mush? I still can't get over that name." Flint said shaking his head with a smirk.

"Where'd they come up with it?" Ron asked confusedly.

"Apparently this guy's friends caught him making out a lot." Seamus explained before grabbing his costume. Ron nodded.

"Racetrack." Johnson handed Ron his costume. When everyone was in a costume they all walked into the Great Hall.

"Hey Cowboy! You forgot your hat." Harry commented before handing it to Draco. Draco nodded.

"Thanks." He said before putting it around his neck and placing a red scarf there as well.

"You guys look great." Johnson said with a grin as she approached the leads. Harry bowed with a grin. "Ginny you look beautiful." Johnson gasped. Harry turned to find Ginny dressed in her pink, sparkled outfit and a pink umbrella over her shoulder.

"Wow…" Harry whispered as he gawked at his best friend's sister. Ginny blushed at Johnson's comment and walked to the small group.

"Thanks." She said quietly.

"You really look gorgeous Gin." Harry said with a blush. Ginny smiled.

"Thank you Harry." Draco looked from one to the other with a smirk before shaking his head and walking away.

Hermione loved her costume. She wouldn't admit she enjoyed it so much, as it was a dress, but she truly did. She wasn't much for wearing dresses but like every young girl, she used to play dress up. She twirled around in the costume a few times before deciding to go into the Great Hall. The outfit consisted of a white blouse and a long brown skirt. When she walked in the first thing her eyes looked for was a head of blond hair. When she found it she had to smile at his costume. "Cowboy…" She whispered. As though he had heard her, Draco looked up and found Hermione. He quickly looked away and she began her search of Ron and Harry.

The rehearsal ended and everyone changed. "Remember, tomorrow's dress so don't be late. Be in your costumes!" Johnson called as the cast left, leaving the two directors left. "I'm so excited, I just hope nothing goes wrong." Johnson said nervously.

"Nothing will, don't worry, and it's not like anything embarrassing will happen to us." Flint smirked. Johnson smiled.

"That's true." Flint nodded. "Well, good-night Flint." Johnson said before taking her bag and leaving the Great Hall. Flint nodded.

"See you." He called before she shut the door.

"Out here kind of early aren't you Potter?" Draco asked. Harry smiled.

"A lot's been on my mind…" Harry said somewhat confusedly.

Draco had come out early that morning to the Quidditch pitch to find Harry already zooming around. "Girls?" Draco asked after a moment of silence. Harry gave him a lost look before Draco sighed. "Is that what's troubling you?" He asked slowly. Harry blushed slightly.

"Sort of…" Harry said uncomfortably. Draco nodded.

"Same here…" He mumbled looking around the pitch.

Harry gave him a quizzical look. "Pansy?" Harry asked. Draco snorted.

"I wish she was the height of my problems." Draco said with a sneer. Harry nodded. "So, you nervous?" Draco asked making conversation. Harry gave Draco an apprehensive look. "What?" Draco asked innocently.

"Who is it?" Harry asked.

"Jealous Potter?" Draco smirked jokingly.

"Stop changing the subject…who?" Harry asked seriously.

"Who what?" Draco asked curiously.

"You don't want to tell me…so it must be someone I know." Draco knew better than to look up and stare at Harry open mouthed as though he were on the right track.

"It's nothing, alright?" Draco snapped. Harry studied his new friend before sighing.

"Alright." Harry said disappointedly. "You know…Hermione hasn't stopped talking about that kiss…" Harry gave a sideways glance at Draco whose eyes became slightly wider and his mouth opened. Draco swallowed and cleared his throat before commenting.

"She-she what?" Draco asked nervously turning to Harry. Harry shrugged on the outside, but inside he was grinning.

"So that's it huh? I knew something was going on." Harry thought to himself. "You know Hermione, she's only really got me, Ron and Ginny. Now out of the three of us who do you think doesn't go gabbing all of her secrets?" Harry asked seriously. Draco still stared at Harry like a fish out of water, trying his best to compose himself.

"You?" He finally choked out. Harry nodded.

"That's all she ever talks about. Malfoy did so well in that scene or I can't get him out of my head. She's crazy about you…Are you alright?" Harry asked trying to hold back a smile. Draco had paled considerably but he nodded. "I mean, I'm just telling you this because she's my best friend. I just don't want you to lead her on or anything. She's too good to be hurt." Harry said seriously with a meaningful look towards Draco. Draco stared at Harry horrified until Harry began to laugh.

"What? WHAT! What is it Potter!" Draco yelled. Harry stopped laughing and grinned.

"You like 'Mione." Harry grinned. Draco frowned and glared at Harry.

"You're mental you know that? Think about whom you are talking about. Granger? With me! Have you completely gone mad?" Draco sneered. "Just because she's obsessed about me doesn't mean…" Harry held up a hand to stop Draco, while he wiped his own tears out of his eyes from laughing.

"I made that stuff up. She hasn't said a word about you." Draco stared at Harry shock written across his face.

"Then…then why'd you say that?" Draco complained. Harry smiled.

"That's the thing though. Hermione tells Ron and I everything. This time though, she didn't so she must like you a little. I just had to figure out if you liked her too. Oh don't be so sour, you would have done the same." Harry concluded.

"Not a bad idea Potter…" Draco thought to himself.

"So, did you see Ginny?" Draco tried.

"Nice try, and of course I saw her, you were there." Draco nodded sadly.

"I don't like Granger." Draco frowned. "She's a know it all…never mind. I had almost forgotten who I was talking to." Draco rolled his eyes.

"Alright, don't admit it. But one of these days you're going to realize you're good enough for her and it'll be too late." Harry warned. Draco rolled his eyes.

"How insightful, now if you don't mind I'll be heading in now." With that Draco flew off towards the castle. "Potter!" He called one last time. "Don't mention this to ANYONE!" Harry grinned.

"You mean don't mention it to 'Mione." He laughed as he watched Draco head into the castle.

"I can't believe the show's tomorrow." Hermione said nervously.

"You'll do fine." Ron said patting her shoulder lightly. Hermione gave a faint smile as they entered their common room. "That dress rehearsal was really long. I can't believe we had to run through the entire play twice! I'm going to bed." With that Ron carried himself up to his dormitory.

Harry and Hermione sat on the common room couch. "Are you really nervous?" Harry asked curiously. Hermione nodded slightly.

"Only a little." Harry nodded.

"Guess we should all get to bed. Night 'Mione." With that Harry headed up to bed.

"Night Harry." Hermione whispered into the dark.

Many boys were laying in bunk beds as a dark shadow walked into their room. As the lights came up the man, a seventh year Hufflepuff walked up to one of the boys. "Boys! Time to get up! Carryin' the Banner! When you get up, you have to get up!" A few boys, the ones laying closest to him shot up out of bed but many just rolled over to fall back asleep. "Hey Cowboy…Cowboy…you sleeping?" The man asked. Draco rolled over to face him with a tired look, which wasn't far from how he was really feeling. "Are you dreaming of selling papes?" The man asked with a grin. "You're mad!" Draco called. "Get up, these boys they sleep their life away! Come on, prices are rolling!" With that Draco sleepily got up.

Across the stage Ron awoke as well and was looking for something. Sitting on the bed across from him was a third year Ravenclaw. Ron sat in front of him before beginning the first number.

Racetrack (Ron): That's my cigar.
Snipeshooter: You'll steal another.
Kid Blink (Blaise): Hey, bummers, we got work to do.
Specs: Since when did you become me mother?
Crutchy: Ah, stop your bawling!
Several Newsies: Hey! Who asked you?

There was a pause in the song when Seamus walked up to Draco. "So, how'd you sleep Jack?" Seamus asked casually. "On me back Mush." Draco said with a thick New York accent. Seamus began to laugh. "Here that fellas! Here what Jack said? I asked Jack how he slept and he said 'On me back Mush!" Seamus continued laughing as he left. "When I walk, does it look like I'm fakin' it?" Crutchy came up to Draco now. "Naw, who says you're faking it?" Draco asked. "No one it's just, there's so many fake crips on the street today, a real crip aint got a chance. I gotta find me a new sellin' spot where they aint used to seein' me." Crutchy concluded as he hobbled away on his crutches as the song continued.
Mush (Seamus): Try Bottle Alley or the harbor.
Racetrack (Ron): Try Central Park, it's guaranteed.
Jack (Draco): Try any banker, bum, or barber ...

Draco threw shaving cream at Seamus.
Skittery: They almost all knows how to read!
Kid Blink: I smell money
Blaise sang as he walked confidently out of the bathroom.
Crutchy: You smell foul!
Crutchy concluded as he made his way in.
Mush (Seamus): Met this girl last night ...
Seamus distracted Blaise from killing Crutchy.
Crutchy: Move your elbow!
Crutchy was at the sink washing his hands when Boots was pumping the water out and hitting him with his elbow.
Racetrack (Ron): Pass the towel!
Ron wandered around with soap on his face and in his eyes.
Skittery: For a buck, I might!

All Newsies:
Ain't it a fine life
Carrying the banner through it all?
A mighty fine life
Carrying the banner tough and tall
Every morning
We goes where we wishes
We's as free as fishes
Sure beats washing dishes
What a fine life
Carrying the banner home-free all!

Draco grabs his cowboy hat and scarf and follows the other boys to the opposite side of the stage which represented being outside in the city of New York.
Newsies:
Summer stinks and winter's waiting
Welcome to New York!
Boy, ain't nature fascinating
When yous gotta walk?
Still, it's a fine life
Carrying the banner with me chums!
A mighty fine life

Crutchy: I'm no snoozer
Sitting makes me antsy
I likes living chancy
Newsies: Harlem to Delancey
What a fine life
Carrying the banner through the slums

Three nuns who give away food enter the stage.
Three Nuns: Blessed children
Though you wander lost and depraved
Jesus loves you
You shall be saved!
Mother: Patrick…

Racetrack (Ron): Just gimme half a cup

Mother: Darling…

Kid Blink (Blaise): Something to wake me up
Mother: Since you left me I am undone…

Mush (Seamus): I gotta find an angle
Mother: Mother loves you!

Crutchy: I gotta sell more papes
Mother: God, save my son!

Three nuns and mother leave stage.
Various Newsies:

The Delancy brothers walk onto the stage. "Dear me! What is that unpleasant aroma! I fear the sewer may have backed up during the night." Ron said. "Naw, too rotten to be the sewer." Another newsie called. "Yea, yea! Must be the Delancy brothers." Crutchy called. One of the brothers grabbed Snipeshooter and threw him on the ground. "In the back you lousy little shrimp." He said as the boy fell. "Oo, not good to do that, not healthy." Ron nodded.

"I wouldn't be calling people lousy little shimps Oscar, unless you're referring to the family resemblance in your brother here." Draco said while pointing between Oscar and Morris. "Whatcha betting Cowboy skunks 'em eh? Who's betting?" Ron called. All the Newsies shout back no and shake their heads. "That's right, it's an insult." Draco began as though he were speaking to a couple of idiots…which technically he probably was. "So's this…" With that he knocked off Morris's hat and the chase began.

Harry and Less enter the scene looking dressed up better than the Newsboys. Draco runs by them and crashes into Harry. "What do you think you're doing?" Harry asked confusedly. Draco looks around when he sees the Delanceys coming. "Runnin'." He states before running off. The Delanceys crash into Harry as well.

The brothers catch up with Draco and try to beat him up but he gets the better of them and they end up on the ground. Draco walks away with everyone cheering.

The newsboys crowded around Draco in the front of the stage and the song ended as they all cheered.

Well there it is…the first song…I'm basically putting in important things and I'm not writing the script line for line just the basic lines I remember. Again, I'd love to hear comments on how to set this up exactly. Thanks to all reviewers from last chapter! I enjoyed hearing from you!

Marmalade Fever- Hello again! Lol. Since I ended my last story I thought I'd reply to your review here. Lol. I just had to thank you for your idea…about separating things as I go along. Before I wrote the whole thing in paragraphs and split it up afterwards but I went through this story and it was easier just to read through it and separate after a person is done talking…less time actually which I was VERY pleased about lol. So THANK YOU! If you have any ideas on how to set up the lyrics…considering this is a musical and there will be a lot more songs lol…I'd really love to hear your ideas! Thanks a bunch! Ttyl!

Thanks to all reviewers again! Lol. I love ya guys! Ttyl! R&R please! Thank you! Oh and don't worry…the fic isn't going to be just lyrics from Newsies before or after each song I will go back to Draco/Hermione or Harry/Ginny…and so forth. The chapters might be a bit longer just because of the lyrics but I think none of you will mind too much lol. Again thank you thank you thank you!

One more thing…at this rate I'm never posting this thing…lol…I'm a big Harry Potter fan and yet I don't know the names of all the characters that go to Hogwarts…I know it's a shame…so a lot of the characters are left blank…even the important ones so if you happen to know a few names or if you're terribly insulted that I didn't name all of the characters (I had originally just started writing A seventh year Hufflepuff but then it got old so I took it out.) Just let me know! Thanks again! Lol…okay, I'm really done now lol.
