Disclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter, the characters nor do I own Newsies! However much I wish I did…
A/N: I just got home from seeing Kingdom of Heaven! WONDERFUL movie! Orlando is DEFINITELY fun to look at, even if he plays the same types of characters in everything, I still love him! Lol. Anyway, I hope everyone likes this update! Sorry there are no comments…I loved them all though! Lol. Now that I'm just putting in the songs I might not have to know each character…only the main ones sing and usually it's in groups! Lol. But I thank you all for your help anyway, it might come in handy for one of my other fics lol. I'll shut up now, enjoy!
Last time on Why Romeo REALLY Killed Himself…"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."
Now on Why Romeo REALLY Killed Himself…After the intro, Draco began to sing.
So
that's what they call a family
Mother, daughter, father, son
Guess that everything you heard about is true
So you ain't got any family
Well, who said you needed one?
Ain't ya glad nobody's waitin' up for you?
When I dream
On my own
I'm alone but I ain't lonely
For a dreamer night's the only time of day
When the city's finally sleepin'
All my thoughts begin to stray
And I'm on the train that's bound for Santa Fe
And I'm free
Like the wind
Like I'm gonna live forever
It's a feeling time can never take away
All I need's a few more dollars
And I'm outta here to stay
Dreams come true
Yes, they do
In Santa Fe
Where does it say you gotta live and die here?
Where does it say a guy can't catch a break?
Why should you only take what you're given?
Why should you spend your whole life livin'
Trapped where there ain't no future
Even at seventeen
Breakin' your back for someone else's sake
If the life don't seem to suit ya
How 'bout a change of scene?
Far from the lousy headlines
And the deadlines in between
Santa Fe
Are you there?
Do you swear you won't forget me?
If I found you would you let me come and stay?
I ain't gettin' any younger
And before my dyin' day
I want space
Not just air
Let 'em laugh in my face
I don't care
Save a place
I'll be there
So that's what they call a family
Ain't ya glad you ain't that way?
Ain't ya glad you got a dream called Santa Fe?
When the song ended Ron strolled on stage. "Hey Jack, you remember that hot tip I was telling ya about?" Ron asked in a heavy New York accent.
"Yea?" Draco asked as they walked off stage.
"Nobody told the horse." Ron said bitterly before the curtain closed and the crowd cheered.
Hermione walked around to the opposite side of the stage to meet Draco. She wasn't sure what she was planning to say and sadly, she would never find out. The first thing Draco looked for as he stepped off stage was Hermione. She was closer than he expected and walking towards him with a very determined look set on her face, much like when she was studying, he came to notice. Draco shook his head to clear his thoughts and quickly ran in the opposite direction. Hermione sped up but once Draco was out of sight she stopped.
Harry walked up to Hermione but before he could say anything she stormed off.
"What's up with her?" Ron asked pointing after her. Harry shrugged with a thoughtful frown.
"I knew I was wasting my time, that little…urg!" Hermione mumbled as she walked back across the stage. Draco watched her leave and gave a sigh of relief before a hand tapped him on the shoulder. Draco spun around quickly to find Flint giving him a curious look.
"For Slytherin's sake what did you go and do that for?" Draco asked angrily while trying to calm his heart down.
"Jeez, take a breather Malfoy." Flint drawled. "You're on again in a few minutes." Flint explained before walking away. Draco leaned against the set and gave out a sigh before walking to get some makeup on.
Ron was once again hounded by girls, much to his delight.
"Ron you were hilarious!" Ron took it all in stride, especially when Lavendar gave him a kiss on the cheek and a wink before leaving. Harry had never seen his friend so transfixed on a woman than that of Lavendar Brown. Harry however, didn't have much time to contemplate this for he was worried about Hermione.
Harry rushed off in the direction Hermione had run only moments before. He only had a few more minutes before the next scene. Luckily for Harry, he found Hermione sitting in a heap on the floor mumbling to herself about stupid prats. Harry sat down slowly next to her and she quickly looked up with a hopeful look. Her eyes met Harry and he saw the tears well up before she frowned and began mumbling again.
"Hermione, you okay?" Harry asked slowly. He knew it wasn't the most comforting thing to say but it was the first thing that came to mind after the sight of his best friend.
Hermione shrugged.
"You know I can't keep anything from you Harry." Hermione offered with a slight smile. Harry nodded.
"So, what's this all about?" Harry asked soothingly. Hermione sighed.
"I love you Harry. I truly do, but this, I have to figure this out on my own." Harry nodded.
"You always were a smart witch." Harry smiled. "I'm here though, whenever you want to talk." Harry added as an after thought.
Hermione smiled.
"I know. Thank you." Harry was about to speak again but was interrupted by Johnson.
"Potter! Where's Potter!" Harry sighed but Hermione gave him a comforting smile and he stood up.
"You sure you'll be alright?" He asked. Hermione nodded.
"The show must go on." Hermione pointed to Johnson as she stormed over to get Harry. Harry rolled his eyes as he was taken to the stage.
Ginny leaned against the set and glared at the floor. Her mind relived the moment over and over.
Ginny walked behind set with a grin. She was a hit!
"Great job Ginny!" Someone called with a grin. She smiled in return.
"Maybe this acting gig wasn't such a bad idea." She grinned at the thought of herself becoming famous. As she walked further from the stage she began to hear talking and slowed her steps to try and become quieter. Ginny wasn't known for her spying but when it came to gossip she liked to know what was going on. If this was something juicy she didn't want to be left out of the loop.
Her mind began to go through different scenarios. It could be a secret relationship, or maybe someone's pregnant, or expelled. She stopped when she finally heard Hermione.
"Hermione's pregnant?" Ginny thought with a gasp. "Calm down, there you go, jumping to conclusions." Ginny reprimanded herself and instead began to listen.
"I love you Harry. I truly do, but this, I have to figure this out on my own." Ginny gasped.
"Hermione loves Harry!" Ginny thought as she put her hands to her lips in shock.
"You always were a smart witch." Harry was saying back. Ginny could picture the smile on his face as he was probably brushing her curly hair out of her eyes. "I'm here though, whenever you want to talk." Harry added after a moment.
"I know. Thank you." Hermione said warmly. Ginny could practically see the two of them sharing a kiss. Given she couldn't 'actually' see them, but who wouldn't kiss Harry? Ginny was quickly taken out of her thoughts with a yell from Johnson.
"Potter! Where's Potter!" Ginny jumped and quickly ran off so no one would see her.
Now, after thinking the situation over she was angry.
"How could Harry like her? Given I see where Hermione's coming from but Harry? He couldn't possibly like Hermione. They're best friends!" Ginny thought bitterly.
"There must be a mistake…" Ginny tried to reason with herself.
"But…but I heard it." Ginny frowned.
"Grow up Gin, get over your lousy crush." Ginny spoke aloud forcefully. She lifted her head slowly with an expressionless face.
"No more Harry James Potter…no more." She whispered before standing up and heading to change into her costume for her next scene.
Uh-oh…lol. I know, it's sort of predictable that just as Hermione says I love you Ginny shows up but what can I say…I needed a little drama lol. Well R&R and tell me what you think k? I loved the last reviews! So nice! Thank you all! I'd write replies but my computer keeps messing up so I want to post this while I still have an internet connection. It's been going in and out all week! Crazy! Lol. Anyway, thanks to everyone for the wonderful comments and I'll be sure to update My Girls and I'm even working on finishing The Hell I Live In (finally!) lol. Thanks for your patience! I love you guys! Lol. Ttyl! Hope you liked the chapter…speaking of, the chapters are going to seem kind of short but a few may be a bit longer…I'm trying to only fit in one song per chapter so bare with me! Thanks again!
