Disclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter, the characters nor do I own Newsies! However much I wish I did…
A/N: I know, it's been forever! I'm really working hard on the sequel to WTF? And with school almost over I've been rushing around to pass in papers and junk. Please forgive, soon it will be summer and this will most likely be my career lol. Anyway, this chapter is short and I apologize, especially after the long wait but it's sweet and I hope you'll like it. ENJOY! (sorry no comments pouts I'll try next time!)
Last time on Why Romeo REALLY Killed Himself…"All newsboys to the stage!" Flint called out as quietly as possible.
"One more scene until intermission!" Johnson said happily while walking by Harry and nudging him to the stage.
"I'm coming." Harry called somewhat angrily. He reached the edge of the stage and Draco turned a worried glance to him before sighing with relief. Harry frowned.
"How could he do that to Hermione? Doesn't he see how much she likes him? Maybe Malfoy hasn't changed…" Harry thought to himself.
"Alright, good luck you guys." Flint whispered.
"Break a…" Draco stopped realizing Hermione had told him that and walked on stage quietly with Harry following close behind, ready for the next scene.
Now on Why Romeo REALLY Killed Himself…DAVID: Open
the gates and seize the day
Don't be afraid and don't delay
Nothing can break us
No one can make us
Give our rights away
Arise and seize the day
DAVID and NEWSIES:
Now is the time to seize the day
Send out the call and join the fray
DAVID:
Wrongs will be righted
If we're united
DAVID and NEWSIES:
Let us seize the day
Friends of the friendless, seize the day
Raise up the torch and light the way
Proud and defiant
We'll slay the giant
Let us seize the day
Immediately after Harry sang the last note the cast knew something was wrong. Throughout the whole piece Harry would glance wickedly at Draco, not unlike he used to. Draco wasn't sure what was going on but he learned soon enough that Harry was pissed.
DAVID and NEWSIES:
Neighbor to neighbor
Father to son
One for all and all for one
Slytherin's grouped on one side of the stage and
Gryffindors on the other. Draco threw
his rope in between the two as he and Harry pulled on both sides in a tug of
war match while continuing to sing. Les
broke them apart and the song continued with the same amount of glares and the
two houses, once again separated.
Open the gates and seize the day
Don't be afraid and don't delay
Nothing can break us
No one can make us
Give our rights away
Neighbor to neighbor
Father to son
One for all and all for one!
The song ended quickly with Harry and Draco standing next to one another still glaring. It was obvious to the audience as well that things were once again in shambles. Dumbledore stared up at the scene sadly. Harry and Draco didn't even realize how much they promoted house unity until it was completely torn apart by a senseless feud. On stage and off it seemed after this song, Slytherin once again separated themselves, and Dumbledore wasn't sure if they're ever open up again. Draco grabbed Harry's arm the second they stormed off stage.
"What was that about Potter?" Draco growled.
"You tell me you snot nosed little prick!" Harry bit out angrily. Draco narrowed his eyes.
"Fine." Draco then attempted to walk away.
"Why'd you hurt her?" Harry asked suddenly. Draco turned to Harry with an angry, yet confused expression.
"What are you on about Potter?" He spit the words out like acid but Harry continued.
"You hurt her. She's my best friend Draco and the greatest girl I have yet to know…how? How could you do that to her?" Draco frowned.
"Obviously it could never be." Draco spoke through gritted teeth.
"Why not? WHY THE HELL NOT? Want me to tell you?" Draco nodded with a snotty look on his face of mock and irritation. "Because you're not even willing to give her a chance that's why! You can't look past what you've been told to see! You know what that makes you Malfoy?" Harry asked. Draco didn't bother to answer. "That makes you, unworthy of her attention, and some day, she'll get over you but you know what? You will always remember the girl you could never get because of your damn prejudice pride!" With that Harry punched Draco in the jaw and stormed off as the Slytherin fell to the ground.
Draco stood up utterly pissed beyond belief and stormed off to find Hermione. Hermione had just walked out of makeup when Draco came up to her with a bruised jaw and a firm glare. Hermione stared at him shocked and was about to ask him what happened until he interrupted.
"I know you hate me alright, I know you can't stand the thought of us together and I know it was stupid of me to kiss you, even if it wasn't even a real kiss, but to have boy wonder come to punch me in the face is a bit much." Draco argued.
Hermione took a moment to think about what he said and immediately narrowed her eyes at him.
"Where the hell do you get off thinking I sent Harry to beat you up?" She asked while placing her hands on her hips. Draco's face faltered slightly but she wouldn't let him speak. "I for one can handle my own fights thank you very much, I thought you'd learned that after third year, but clearly I was mistaken." Draco opened his mouth to protest but Hermione again held up a hand and continued her piercing glare on the blond. "YOU are the one that's been avoiding me after your kiss, not even asking me how I felt about it! If you must know I liked it! Too bad you stormed off so fast that I couldn't tell you how much I've been waiting for you to kiss me!" Draco now stared at her utterly shocked and confused.
"I do not hate you nor have I ever but you certainly are giving me reason to now. Coming up to me like I'M the one to do something wrong! Honestly!" Hermione threw her hands in the air at that moment and stormed off. Draco quickly ran to catch up and took her arm.
"Wait, wait, wait. You mean, you liked me kissing you?" Draco asked puzzled. Hermione opened her mouth still ready for an argument when she realized that's what she had blurted out only a moment ago. She blushed. Draco smiled.
"Now what? Going to tease me?" Hermione asked with a pout. Draco shook his head.
"I didn't mean to hurt you. I just thought that you hated me, what with all of the dirty looks during rehearsals and here I go kissing you for no reason." Draco babbled on. Hermione smiled lightly.
"So…you're not avoiding me?" Hermione asked angelically. Draco shook his head before leaning down and giving her another kiss, this time on her lips.
AWWW! Sorry there are no comments this time around. I loved them all though and I'm working on the update for My Girls! Sadly, even though this is a 3 day weekend I'm going to be gone so I won't be able to update…I'm so sorry for what you reviewers have to put up with. But thanks for sticking with me! Have a wonderful last few days of school (if indeed that's all you have) and I'll try to update as soon as I can! Ttyl!
