Author's note: Hey! Thanks for the review! You don't know how happy I was to see I actually got one:) Anyway, the song's lyrics in this chapter are not as good as the other one but they were kinda hard to change. They go to the melody, though. However, I don't know about the talking. There's less dialogue here than in the actual song. Anyhow, please read and review! Thanks so much!Winona
Disclaimer: Okay… Sorry I didn't put one of these in the previous chapter. I don't own anything. Not the characters, the setting, etc. Those belong to JK Rowling. And I don't own the songs from Chicago, and I'm not really sure who does.
Chicago… The Harry Potter Way
Chapter 2: Ex-Boyfriend (Funny Hunny)
"Miss Weasley, is what Mr. Potter is saying true?" McGonagall had caught Ginny's arm and had it in a tight grip.
Ginny looked up at her, completely at a loss for words. To lie or not to lie? That was the question on Ginny's mind when music started playing from the walls themselves it seemed. Ginny made a spur-of-the-moment decision to respond to the professor with a song.
GINNY
Sometime's I'm right
Sometime's I'm wrong
But he didn't care
He'd string along
He loved me so
That ex-boyfriend of mine
Sometime's I'm down
Sometime's I'm up
But he followed 'round
Like some faithful niffler
Following gold
That ex-boyfriend of mine
He wasn't a freak
And that's one great physique
Lord knows, he does got the smarts
Oh, and look at those lips
I tell you, his kiss
Is a whole lot greater than
His loyalty
And if you knew him like me
I know you'd agree
And now the world
Will slander my name
And he'll be right there
Taking the credit
He loved me so
It all suited me fine
That stupid, putrid, clueless
Ex-boyfriend of mine
RON (Spoken)
A man's got a right to speak his mind
But I don't believe Harry told on you, Ginny
MCGONAGALL (Spoken)
So it's true?
RON (Spoken)
Well, you'll have to ask Ginny
But I can't imagine her killing someone
Even Malfoy, I guess…
GINNY
He blabbed on me
That ex-boyfriend of mine
RON (Spoken)
So it's true?
MCGONAGALL (Spoken)
Miss Weasley?
RON (Spoken)
She can't have, Professor!
She's my sister and she wouldn't commit murder.
GINNY
You don't know me
It's clear - I killed him, obviously
MCGONAGALL (Spoken)
You know you might very well go to Azkaban, young lady?
RON (Spoken)
Oh, Professor! Please!
Ginny didn't mean it! She'll go to detention all year!
Just don't send her to Azkaban!
GINNY
Lord knows I'd kill him again
MCGONAGALL (Spoken)
I don't know, Mr. Weasley.
Murder is a serious offence, and we even have a witness.
GINNY
Yeah, he shot off his trap
I can't stand that sap
You saw him go
Rattin' on me
With just one more wand
What a muggle he'd be
If they lock me up
I'll know who did the frame-up
RON (Spoken)
Please, Professor McGonagall, don't put her in jail!
GINNY
That scummy, crummy, dummy
Ex-boyfriend of mine!
Ginny held the final note of the song for almost an entire minute. McGonagall kept checking her watch, hoping Ginny would hurry up and end the song.
At long last, Ginny's mouth closed and McGonagall started to question her. "Why did you murder him, Miss Weasley?"
Making up her mind, Ginny said truthfully, "He cheated on me."
McGonagall shrugged. "You cheated on Harry."
"That does not give him the right to rat me out! He promised he wouldn't tell anyone!" Ginny exclaimed.
"Please, Professor, don't send her to Azkaban!" Ron pleaded with McGonagall.
She turned a steely glare on him. "We'll see about that."
