Disclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter, the characters nor do I own Newsies! However much I wish I did…
A/N: Whoo! I just want to thank everyone for the wonderful advice and helpful hints at characters in different houses! It's taking me a long time to go through and figure out who should play whom but I figured I'd give you another chapter as you wait lol. This is a bit shorter than any of the chapters so far and I do apologize but not much really goes on between some scenes. Anyway, hope you like the chapter anyway! Thanks for all of the reviews once again! Enjoy!
Last time on Why Romeo REALLY Killed Himself…Go
get 'em Cowboy
You got 'em now, boy!
Go get 'em, Cowboy!
You got 'em now, boy!
Go!
The newsboys crowded around Draco in the front of the stage and the song ended as they all cheered.
Now on Why Romeo REALLY Killed Himself…The curtain closed and Draco and the others quickly ran off so that the next scene could be set up. Dumbledore decided that they could make the sets by using magic but getting them on the stage would be done by hand, giving the actors time to relax until the next scene. Harry and Draco stood together on the side, watching the crew move things around.
"Was that amazing or what?" Harry asked looking at Draco. Draco actually smiled and finally nodded, never taking his eyes off of the stage.
"Alright, Malfoy, Potter you ready?" Flint came up to the two and Draco turned to his friend and nodded. "Wait, where's Les?" Flint asked dryly. Just then the young man came running to the group.
"Sorry I…well, caught up…nevermind." The three men raised an eyebrow but the boy ignored them.
"Alright, now all we need is Medda." Flint commented. Flint looked around and noticed her standing with Hermione on the opposite side of the stage. "Good, everything's set." Flint sighed. Johnson was also on the opposite side and motioned for the three to come on stage.
They all took their positions and waited for the curtain to open. Draco took a glance at Hermione but she wasn't paying attention. Harry was also looking over at Ginny who was fixing her hair and outfit while talking to Hermione. Harry pulled his eyes away and looked at Draco and noticed he was staring at Hermione. Harry laughed lightly. Draco heard his laugh however and turned to his new friend. Harry opened his mouth to comment but just then the curtain opened and the scene began.
MEDDA(Ginny):My lovey-dovey baby
I boo-hoo-hoo for you
I used to be your tootsie-wootsie
Then you said toodley-doo
I miss the hanky-panky
Each nighty-night till three
Come back, my lovey-dovey baby
And coochie-coo with me
Our life was ducky-wucky
So goody-good were we
Come back, my lovey-dovey baby
And coochie-coo with me
Draco noticed Harry was getting even more in to character than necessary. As Ginny sang Harry had his mouth wide open and his eyes practically falling out of his head every time she walked by them. As soon as the curtain closed Draco laughed and hit Harry over the head.
"Better go find your eyes Potter, I think you left them at Weasley's feet." Draco teased. Harry shook his head and blushed slightly before hitting him back.
"Alright, what's the next scene?" Harry asked changing the subject. Draco nodded.
"Santa Fe." He sighed nervously.
"Good luck Malfoy!" Flint called. Johnson was standing next to him and suddenly grinned.
"You'll do great! Just remember you have a wire on so don't go all out. We can't afford you to break another one." She commented. Draco nodded but rolled his eyes once she was looking away. Ron suddenly came up to them.
"I'm really loving this show." Ron grinned. Harry gave him a questioning look. "You wouldn't believe all the girls that have come up to me mate." Ron grinned wider. Harry laughed.
"How come I haven't seen any?" Harry asked jokingly.
"Too busy hounding me." Draco added with his trademark smirk.
"Right Cowboy, maybe you should stick with chasing Sarah." Harry grinned. Draco just walked away from the two.
When Draco walked away he heard Hermione and Ginny talking so he hid behind a set.
"You were great Ginny." Hermione applauded.
"Thanks Hermione. I might just get a really hott date for the ball this year." Ginny winked. Hermione just shook her head.
"I really don't know how you do it though, I'm nervous and all I have to do is talk." Hermione shrugged. Ginny giggled.
"and kiss…" Ginny said with a grin. Before Hermione could argue she changed the subject. "Well, what I heard is that if this goes well enough, not to mention it's great house unity," Ginny winked. "they might decide to do another play either later in the year or next year. If it's a musical you should try out for a singing part." Ginny encouraged. Hermione shrugged.
"I don't know, I'll think about it."
"Alright, everyone on stage!" Johnson called.
"That's my cue." Hermione smiled.
"You'll do great." Ginny said with a wave. Draco panicked. If Hermione found him eavesdropping, let's just say it'd be very bad. He quickly backed up and made it look like he was headed to the stage.
"Hey Malfoy." Hermione called.
"Yea Granger?" He asked turning to her slowly.
"Break a leg." She said somewhat nervously. Draco gave her an odd look.
"I didn't think you hated me that much…" Draco said insulted. Hermione began to laugh. Draco just frowned.
"It's a muggle expression, it's bad luck to say good luck in a play so you have to say break a leg when you're really wishing them luck." Hermione explained.
"Oh." Draco said somewhat disbelievingly.
"I don't hate you, I like you. I mean, I don't like you, well I do but not like that, not that I'm thinking of that, I'm just…I'm going to the stage." Hermione mumbled finally before leaving Draco's sight. He smiled after her and nodded.
"Break a leg Granger." Draco shook his head before heading to the stage also.
When the curtain opened Harry walked on first followed by Draco who was carrying Les. Harry introduced Jack to everyone and pointed out Sarah. Draco smiled at her and she smiled back as they continued the scene. After the birthday cake was served Hermione sat closely next to Draco and began asking questions about the paper. Jack's part was to answer and try to act polite. What Draco did however, was stare at Hermione amazed as she talked. The only time he ever tore his eyes away from her was when Les began singing Medda's song in his sleep.
The audience was needless to say surprised. Not only was it amazing that Harry and Draco seemed to be getting along, but the fact that these students really knew how to sing. Dumbledore, being the smart old man he was, looked on knowingly as the play progressed.
When the curtain closed once again for a short scene change of the outdoors, Draco sighed before marching towards Hermione. Harry however got in his way. "You're on soon." Harry pointed out with a pat on the back before running to Ron. Draco shook his head and continued over to Hermione who was standing alone. As he approached Hermione looked up.
"You really made me nervous." Hermione said playing with a strand of her hair with a smile.
"How so?" Draco asked curiously.
"Staring at me, I was just worried I'd say the wrong lines." Hermione confessed.
"I couldn't help it…" He was interrupted by Johnson's call for him to be on stage. Hermione just smiled.
"Back to Jack Kelley." She smiled.
"Back to Cowboy." Draco said with a smirk.
"Malfoy, I mean now!" Johnson called. Draco quickly knelt down and gave Hermione a quick kiss on the cheek, before quickly walking on stage.
Hermione ran to the edge of the stage and stared at him while unconsciously moving a hand to her cheek. A small smile set onto her lips. Draco never looked over at her. He was terrified she'd be glaring at him from the side. Harry noticed Draco's mind seemed to be sidetracked but obviously couldn't ask about it.
"David, it's time to come inside now." His father called. With a few good-byes Harry went off stage and the piano began to play the beginning of "Santa Fe."
Well, I hope everyone liked the chapter at least. Don't panic though, Hermione and Draco have a long way to go and Harry and Ginny have even further lol. R&R please! Here are some replies! Again, thanks to ALL reviewers!
