A Harry Potter Story
----
Chapter 4
A/N: (sigh) Okay… look. I've been debating this and I don't know how long this story is going to be. It probably won't go on much longer though. It is only a play after all. No one could give me any ideas? (sigh) Oh well. Alright since I just found out you can't write stories in script form I'm writing it a little differently. I'm hoping for this chapter to be my best one yet, I-hope-it-is, I-hope-it-is… Okay, here I go, onto the story!
Disclaimer: You know the drill people, nothing new to see here, move along. (Starts attempting to shove readers to the actual story, but not succeeding very well so pulls out squirt gun) Go, go, go!
Dedicated to: My long brown-haired friend who doesn't like anime but likes my story, also to JadeLioness3 who helped me (and gave me most of the ideas and words (but not exact words…)) with this chapter. Kudos to you girls. Toast!
The four boys who were (where we left off) under the floor boards, finally made their appearance to the audience. They looked around and discovered that they were in a sort of cemetery. Much like that of the one at the end of the fifth Harry Potter book. Tristan, who doesn't like cemeteries much, decided to play it safe and hide behind Duke, who in turn, hid behind Joey who hid behind Kaiba. Seeing that there was no one else to hide behind, besides a couple of real looking skeletons to the right of him which he chose NOT to hide behind, Kaiba played the non-caring hero and stood still. While no one appeared to be looking Duke and Tristan made a pact and proceeded to sneak off stage.
In the shadows you could see a short person wearing all black and to top it off a fancy looking shiny, navy blue cape.
"Who are you?" demanded Kaiba.
"I'm ashamed you don't remember me…" He takes a step out of the shadows to reveal himself. All the good-guys take a step back in shock. They are looking face to face with… (Da-da-da daaaaa) Mokuba! "Older brother." Mokuba finished.
"No. You can't…" Kaiba is currently going through traumatic shock, along with everyone else. (This is my fic. If I want they could be married… they're not of course… (shiver))
"Harry, we shouldn't be fighting on opposite sides, we should be standing together. Why don't you come join the dark side?"
"And risk being called more cold-hearted than I already am? No, I don't believe that to be necessary." Kaiba stated in that matter-of-fact tone.
"(sigh) Fine," Mokuba takes out a freshly baked cherry pie, "then I'll just have to eat this all by myself."
Kaiba was speechless for a second (probably because he was cursing the gods that Mokuba knew his one main week point besides his little brother). Mokuba then waved the pie in front of himself for affect. Kaiba looked forlornly at it, watching the wafts of smoke rise from the deliciously looking pie. Meanwhile, Sakura watches from the shadows absolutely horrified at the new turn of events the story has taken.
"So, brother, what's it going to be?" Mokuba demanded.
Kaiba glared over at his younger brother then glanced quickly behind him at his companions. His options were limited… "Fine." He stated before walking briskly over to his sibling. Joey watched this exchange with complete shock written on his face.
From the side of the stage then walked Pegasus, he walked all the way over to Joey.
"Malfoy," Pegasus said once he'd gotten over to the blonde, "We have to join forces to defeat He Who Must Not Be Named."
Joey appeared shocked then shook his head, "Nah, Headmaster, I've had enough of this freaky drama. I'm going home." Looking around to see his cronies were already long gone he started to walk away.
"Winky," (she's his house elf again) was all Pegasus said and Joey froze.
"What do you mean?" Joey asked. To this Pegasus threw Joey a picture of Mai…
"If you don't help defeat the evil you may find your friend there will be in quite a lot of trouble…" He trailed off. (Oh and Pegasus has his millennium eye back for this purpose.
"WHAT! WINKY!" Joey asked dumbfounded (That Mai could possibly be Winky and that she was now in danger)
"Yes, Winky. Now are you going to help me willingly? Or am I going to have to force you?"
Joey regained his composure, "You'll have to force me, but only if you plan on making your friend Madam Maxime, the Headmistress of Beauxbaton, go through hell again…" Pegasus looked at Joey with complete loathing and likewise, Joey tossed him a picture of Cecelia (if you don't know who that is it's Pegasus' wife that died of a mysterious illness, she's alive again because I said so)
"So you wish to go against me too… that will be your fault…"
Just then an explosion took place in the spot where Kaiba and Mokuba had previously occupied. Apparently they were fighting over who was going to get the last piece of cherry pie and started an all out war over it. After the smoke cleared a figured walked out of it, it was Professor Lockhart (or Weevil!) Everyone stares at the new person that made his appearance.
"Um… am I interrupting something?" Weevil asked nervously.
Mokuba and Kaiba started whispering then and looked over at Weevil with expectant smirks on their faces.
Mokuba was the one to tell them their plan, "Lockhart, since you were the one who popped out of our cherry pie you are going to have to be sacrificed to get us a new one. That's a new spell they just came out with, quite handy if I do say so myself…"
"WHAT! I'M NOT GOING TO BE USED FOR A SACRIFICE FOR SOME STUPID CHERRY PIE!" Weevil shouted.
Kaiba raised an eyebrow, "Is that so? Then who will be?"
Weevil started thinking at hyper speed, "I know! I'll perform a spell and get you a new sacrifice!"
"Hurry up and get to it then," Kaiba demanded.
Weevil raised his wand high above his head and prayed to the gods, and then he crossed his fingers and cast the spell… Nothing happened.
"Oh shoot…" Weevil cursed.
"That's really too bad for you, Lockhart, now you'll have to be our sacrifice."
"No, just wait, it usually takes a few minutes to work. Really!" Weevil pleaded.
Mokuba sighed, "If you say so, you have five minutes to make your spell start working."
Meanwhile, Joey and Pegasus are still fighting over who is going to give in first and let the other do what he wants. Finally they mutually agree that as soon as the others finally get their cherry pie back they'd fight together to retrieve it and eat for themselves.
Five minutes pass---
"Okay, you're five minutes are up. We gave you your chance," Kaiba forcefully stated.
"Wait, wait. Don't sacrifice me, please!"
Suddenly a poof resounded and when the smoke cleared we see Neville (aka: Rex!) sitting in a tree, looking through magnifying glasses.
"HEY! That's new!" Rex shouted staring fixedly at some gravestones far in the distance.
"This is fine, you may leave now." Kaiba gestured to Weevil who ran away very quickly. Not before we could see that he was now covered with moldy strawberries and smelt like icky green sludge. (His spell stank that bad…)
At hearing this Rex looked down to see all the people who happened to be there and looked at them all strangely.
"Hey! What are you guys doing down there? Are you stalking me?"
"You wish! We only wanted to use you as a sacrifice for our cherry pie!" Kaiba explained in that way you explain something when you're kind of ticked off.
"A sacrifice? No way! I refuse!" Rex screamed.
"Refuse? Did I say you had a choice in the matter?" Kaiba asked/said then there was yet again another poof, as Kaiba raised his wand, and soon you could see that Rex was tied by the feet with a string. He was tied to the tree and dangling over a boiling cauldron filled with who knew what.
"No! I won't be a sacrifice for a cherry pie! I won't, I won't!" Just then a light bulb clicked on and everyone went temporarily blind.
"Sorry!" A voice yelled and the lights went back to the way they were. Everyone sat for awhile and blinked away the red dots they all had dancing in their vision and then the play started again.
This time a figurative light bulb went off and Rex pulled out his wand.
"Uh-Oh," Mokuba said and ran and ducked for cover.
Like Mokuba probably predicted, the spell went wrong. Not in an entirely bad way though. As they looked back to Rex, fireworks were going off. Red, white, blue… the works. That went on for a good few minutes and then they noticed that Rex was no longer there.
ANOTHER poof of smoke came out of nowhere and there stood Rex's lawyer. He pronounced this killing a suicide and gave everyone free lollipops. Now because Rex killed himself they didn't need to sacrifice him, (he sacrificed himself) and the pie was returned to its cherry goodness.
So everyone skipped off into the sunset (even though it was only 2:00 in the afternoon) holding hands and when they got back to Hogwarts, they all had a tea party with cherry pie and wore frilly dresses. So they all lived happily ever after with peace and love for all in the land of happy unicorns….
THE END!
(Curtains close)
The audience stares at the curtains and look shocked at them at the quickness of the ending. Then Sakura comes out.
"Well… I believe that's the end of the show… heh heh, I thank you all for coming here today to see it. Have a nice night."
After they realize the play really is over, they start clapping.
"YAY!"
"That was so sweet!"
"I'm coming next week Thursday!"
"Cherry Pie!"
Some people throw flowers on the stage which Sakura politely picked up and then walked behind the curtains.
"Whew! That was close," Sakura walks up to the severely traumatized group of people she used in her play, "I can't believe you guys completely went against the script!"
Snapping out of it somewhat, Joey asks dazedly, "What script?"
"The one I gave to you this morning! The one you guys kept disguising as schedules! But I guess the outcome was okay… You guys better not quit your day jobs and go out for acting."
"I don't have a day job!" Mokuba whined.
"That's completely beside the point. Oh well. You guys have a nice life. I'm going home to take a nice relaxing bath."
"Hey. What about our pay checks?" Kaiba demanded, "I didn't say I was going to humiliate myself in front of a crowd for free."
Sakura does the cute innocent look, "What are you talking about?" Sidestepping away from them, "I don't have any money. I don't know what you're talking about. Here, have some more cherry pie."
She makes a run for it, which is saying something since she has no athletic coordination whatsoever and gets out run almost immediately by someone who doesn't like cherry pie…
"No, wait! Don't hurt me! Here, have some lollipops! Candy! Ahhhh!" She eventually gets doggy piled by more and more people. "NOO! HELP, SOMEBODY! ANYBODY! NOOOOO!
A/N: (sigh) Now what to do… Again I thank my anime disliking friend and JadeLioness3; I don't know where I'd be without them. That's the end folks. I really didn't think it would be this short but… Cest la vie. I hope you had a good time reading this. Now I need some people's opinions, should I do a different story? Should I do another play? Should I quit writing cold turkey because you think my writing sucks? (cowers from JadeLioness3) Okay, okay, it doesn't suck… So anyway… What do you people think? R&R!
