Act Two!
Act Two started with a bang…of breaking glass. Luna could certainly hit the high notes in Thank Goodness, but they were simply too high for the Great Hall and the people in it to take.
Then it was soon time for Wicked Witch of The East - AKA the forgotten song. It is actually just a bunch of Nessarose's musings to the tune of her mini-duet with Boq in Dancing Through Life, but we won't get into that. Lavender sang the song very nicely, except she couldn't stand up! You see, the shoes weren't real, they were simply props, and because Lavender had broken her leg during the dress rehearsal, everything did not go well. Still, it was heart-breaking, as it was supposed to be, and then everything went into Wonderful!
There was one miracle during this song - Draco didn't blow up once! There was some steam coming out of his ears at a few points throughout the song, but we won't get into that today. Otherwise, the song finally went well!
Luna's I'm Not That Girl Reprise was good, because the song isn't too high! Everyone was crying for the right reasons during this song, which was a HUGE improvement from the earlier songs! Luna left the stage in character - meaning she left the stage sad. Not because she had just lost Neville to Ginny, but because she loved the sounds of breaking glass and was hoping she could catch a Snorkack with the sound of the glass! They're attracted to breaking glass you know!
Then it was finally time for As Long As You're Mine! Neville and Ginny looked at each other nervously before the song, then Ginny began to sing. There was one problem - they kept looking mad at each other! They would glare and mutter mean things under their breath! Finally, the song ended. The two knew they had to kiss, so they did, and the students went crazy! They all stood up and started cheering "Again! Again! Kiss her again!" So…they did the only thing there was to do - they kissed again! The audience kept cheering, so they kept kissing until the rating of this story almost reached PG-13, but they finally stopped after Ginny bit Neville's lip. Ouch.
All of the students sat down, disappointed. As Neville and Ginny left the stage however, they knew that the other kids would never let them forget that - large amount of kisses.
Then, after more scenes, No Good Deed started playing! Ginny ran onto the stage screaming "Fiyero!" and grabbed the book from the table center stage. She did the song amazingly well, but there was one problem. For some reason she had a wand in her pocket, and the spell she was saying became real! Backstage, Neville started to actually become the Scarecrow! I mean…no he didn't…there aren't any spoilers in this story…ahem. Anyway, yes, the spell turned Neville very randomly and not accordingly to the plot into a scarecrow.
But, it worked with the plot…for no reason…none at all…ahem. Excuse me while I state obvious…"OBVIOUS!"
Okay…I'm done spoiling the entire musical now.
So! It was time for March of The Witch Hunters! This was the song where the Lion comes out and Roars loudly, so it was Harry's real time to shine! He was about to go onto the stage when a man in a striped shirt and an American Idol microphone appeared and grabbed him by the collar while motioning for Ron, in full costume, to run out a do the big ROAR!
So, he did! Ron ran onto the stage and let out his humungous call of the wild! It was so loud the entire non-existent band even stopped playing their music, and the entire Great Hall went silent for a minute.
Another minute passes.
Then another one.
Then about two more.
Ron put out his hands as if to say: "Come on!" The entire audience then stood up and started cheering like they've never cheered before! Ron took a huge bow to all of the different sides of the audience, and Ryan Seacrest ran onto the stage to give Ron ANOTHER golden American Idol ticket. Then Harry came out, took the ticket, pushed Ron off-stage, and ran away cackling even more and louder and better than the Wicked Witch of The West! Then the people in the audience looked at each other and sat down, bored.
Then, it was soon time for a great song about friendship: For Good. Luna and Ginny sang it, hugged then left the stage whilst the audience cried their little eyes out! The last song played, Ginny and Neville ran through the Time Dragon Clock, and that was it!
The audience stood up and clapped like mad! The actors came out for their final bows, and the curtain closed. All of the actors then went backstage to mingle.
They went to a snack area that was set up behind the stage, and started talking about the show. Most people were just complementing each other, but then someone asked the question:
"Wait? Why wasn't the show perfect? Aren't shows in fan fictions always perfect?" It was Ron.
"I guess not," Hermione answered.
They all looked at each other and started asking very random questions. Neville wasn't talking though - he and Ginny were simply staring at each other, embarrassed about what had happened on stage. While looking at Neville, Hermione thought of something.
"Hey…Neville?" She asked.
"Yeah?" Neville answered.
"You know all of those strange envelopes you keep giving to Dumbledore?" everyone heard her and looked at Neville, confused.
"What envelopes?" Seamus and Parvati asked at the exact same time.
"Okay, I guess the cat is out of the bag," Neville said, then continued, "Well, you see, you know the role I play, Fiyero? Well…I'm secretly the real Tin Man. I'm Fiyero. And, the Gods of Oz came to Dumbledore, and told him that if I didn't get the role in the show, they would…"
"What? They would WHAT?" everyone asked in unison.
"They would eat me and all of you alive!" Neville replied. "Also, I'd have to give Dumbledore little notes from the Gods of Oz, with wacky little round chips in them, so that they would eat all of us. That explains the envelopes."
Everyone stared at Neville, horrified. But, nobody really said anything to him. Ginny, however, looked at him with a sneaky smile on her face.
"So, you mean…you weren't paying Dumbledore to give you the role?" Hermione badgered him.
Everyone looked to Neville, waiting for an answer. He burst out laughing and said:
"YEAH! I SO TOTALLY WAS!"
Everyone around him suddenly began to laugh their heads off, even Hermione, and they all clinked their drinks to the fact that the show was finally finished and they wouldn't have to keep on their horrible costumes and make-up anymore.
So, that's the end. Nobody cared that Neville was evil and was paying Dumbledore for the role, they were just happy it was all over.
"No! It can't be! It's never over!" the author screamed down to all of them from her home in the sky.
"Sure it can be," Hermione yelled up.
"Never! The story must continue! There must be some more loose ends to complete! Please, just-"
"Oh, shut up!" Hermione yelled up.
"Please, just-"
"Shut up!" she yelled again.
"Just a few-"
And the entire cast joined together for this final line of words:
"SHUT UP! SHUT UP! SHUT UP!"
The end.
