Hey guys! So I figured I should post the real first chapter after the introduction. So here it is!
Disclaimer: I don't own Starkids musicals or J.K. Rowlings books!
Act 1 Scene 1
A man appeared on the stage, sitting on a trunk. He was dressed as a Gryffindor and was wearing a pair of round glasses.
Harry (singing): Underneath these stairs I hear the sneers and feel the glares of my cousin, my uncle, and my aunt. Can't believe how cruel they are and it stings my lightning scar to know they'll never ever give me what I want.
"Harry, what does he mean underneath the stairs?" Lily asked him watching him sink into the couch with concern.
"I live under a cupboard for most of my life,"he mumbled. Everyone gasped and Harry felt his dad's body tense. "But it's fine now I don't anymore! OK? Can we keep watching?" He asked hopefully trying to change the subject.
I know I don't deserve these stupid rules made by the Dursleys here on Privet Drive. Can't take all of these Muggles but despite all of my struggles, I'm still alive…
"Damn straight," Harry muttered under his breath
"Harry!" Lily scolded
"Sorry mum..."
I'm sick of summer and this waiting around. Man, it's September and I'm skipping this town. Hey, it's no mystery, there's nothing here for me now…I gotta get back to Hogwarts!
Well Mr. Potter I'm quite glad your so excited about going school," Dumbledore said his eyes twinkling.
I gotta get back to school. I gotta get myself to Hogwarts, where everybody knows I'm cool.
Draco snickered and Ginny glared at him causing him to cowar.
Back to witches and wizards and magical beasts, to goblins and ghosts and to magical feasts, it's all that I love and it's all that I need at Hogwarts! Hogwarts, I think I'm going back. I'll see my friends, gonna laugh 'til we cry; take my Firebolt, gonna take to the sky. No way this year anyone's gonna die and it's gonna be totally awesome!
"I wish," Harry mumbled.
I'll cast some spells with a flick of my wand. Defeat the Dark Arts, yeah, bring it on!
"I'd rather it not be brought on thank you," Harry scowled.
And do it all with my best friend Ron 'cause together we're totally awesome…
Harry and Ron high-fived while Hermione and Ginny rolled their eyes.
Ron: Yeah and it's gonna be totally awesome!
Ron (spoken): Did somebody say Ron Weasley?
"No," Malfoy glared.
Ron: Woo! What's up buddy?
Harry: Hey! (hugs)
Ron: Hey, sorry it took me so long to get here I had…to go get…some…Floo Powder but, uh, we gotta get going c'mon, get your trunk, let's go.
Harry: Where are we going?
Ron: To Diagon Alley, of course!
Harry: Cool!
Ron: Come on!
Ron and Harry (running around, flapping their arms): Floo Powder Power, Floo Powder Power, Floo Powder Power, Floo Powder Power!
Everyone started laughing, even Malfoy was amused by how stupid the two looked.
"You look like idiots!" Ginny wheezed out between laughs. Harry and Ron just gaped at the screen.
Ron (singing): It's been so long…
Both: …but we're going back!
Ron: Don't go for work, don't go there for class!
Harry: As long as we're together…
Ron: …gonna kick some ass…
Both: …and it's going to be totally awesome! This year we'll take everybody by storm, stay up all night, sneak out of our dorm!
"You most certainly will not!" Lily shrieked at the same time James yelled,"That's ma boy!" And high-fiving(s?) the younger boy.
Lily glared at James while Snap stifled a small laugh at how the James got in trouble.
Hermione: But let's not forget that we need to perform well in class if we want to pass our OWLs!
Hermione stared open mouthed at the girl on the screen. Malfoy was smirking. Harry and Ron were practically rolling on the ground in laughter, while Ginny giggled and said, "They get Hermione right on the spot!"
Ron (spoken): God Hermione, why do you have to be such a buzz kill?
Hermione: Because guys, school's not all about having fun. We need to study hard if we want to be good witches and wizards. (singing) I may by frumpy but I'm super smart. Check out my grades, there A's for a start.
"Isn't it O's?" Ginny asked, looking a little confused.
"In the Muggle world, A's are the highest grade you can get. And I'm not frumpy!" Hermione grumbled.
What I lack in looks, well, I make up in heart and well guys, yeah that's totally awesome! This year I plan to study a lot.
Ron: That would be cool if you were actually hot.
Hermione slapped Ron on the back of the head. Everyone laughed as he blamed it on the character.
Harry: Hey Ron, c'mon, we're the only friends that she's got…
Hermione's face fell, but Draco started talking.
"I-I ... know I've been a uh... a jerk to you guys, especially Hermione, but I just want to say I'm, I'm... so-so-sorry?" He stumbled out scratching the back off his head sheepishly. Everyone stared mouth open. Hermione and Harry stood up and brought their new 'acquaintance' in a hug.
Ron: …and that's cool…
Hermione: …and that's totally awesome!
All Three: Yeah, it's so cool and it's totally awesome! We're sick of summer and this waiting around. It's like we're sitting in the lost and found. Don't take no sorcery, for anyone to see how…We gotta get back to Hogwarts! We gotta get back to school. Gotta get back to Hogwarts, where everything is magi-cool.
Whole Cast: Back to witches and wizards and magical beasts, to goblins and ghosts and some magical feasts. It's that all that I love and it's all that I need at Hogwarts! Hogwarts, I think we're going back.
"Well," Hermione said. "That was interesting."
"Why do even muggles know my story," Harry groaned.
"What year do you think we're in?" Ginny wondered. "It doesn't look like our first year or this year."
A piece of paper fluttered down from the ceiling. Harry picked it up and read:
It's a mixture of your 7th, 2nd, and 4th.
"Well that makes sense."
Please review! I think I'm gonna start doing longer chapters. So here are some answers!
Qoheleth- Harry was born in the muggle world with his aunt and uncle his first 12 years so he most likely knows what a DVD player is, but does it matter? It's my story! :) thanks for the review!
