Hello, purveyors of fanfiction! This is my first story, and I hope you all enjoy the story I've come up with.'
As you may or may not have been able to tell, this is written like a musical, and has stage directions and songs and such to go along with it.
Currently, I have no way of uploading any of the songs as media files, so you'll have to make due with just the lyrics. EDIT (8/27/10): It took really long, unneccessarily so, but I have demo versions of all the songs in the musical. Now you can listen to them and pretend I have mulitple voices for the characters. One day... one day... I'll have enough time to find enough voices and make real versions. But for now, this should work: www(dot)mediafire(dot)com/?ua7cps4rf33r291 Enjoy!
Also, yes, I am aware that there is another one of these that's more popular than mine will ever be, and some things may be similar to that one. Understand now that I would prefer if you people didn't compare the two or try to find plagiarisms between the two. I wrote this independently from watching the other one. That is all.

Now, like most musicals, we have a cast list for the characters in the musical, to explain their character, their place in the story, their motivations, etc. So here you go. They may not match up with the books, but that's sort of the point.

Harry Potter

Male lead – the "hero" of the story, though he often comes off as a pompous jerk. A little high and mighty when it comes to his status, despite his average grades. His judgment of danger is clouded by his obsession with Cho Chang, who is currently dating Cedric Diggory, who Harry is very jealous of.

Ron Weasley

Faithful sidekick – a little clumsy, an average student, and an obsessive eater. He's good friends with Harry and Hermione, and harbors a crush on Hermione. Because of his inability to express these feelings, he usually fights with her or ends up looking like a dunderhead. Either way, he's a loyal friend, and is willing to fight for them, even if he's deathly afraid.

Hermione Granger

Lady sidekick: the bookworm of the "Golden Trio", the level-headed sane one. Always the one to use her knowledge to solve problems, but not so graceful with her wand as Harry.

Cho Chang

Love interest – Harry is obsessed with Cho Chang. Cho Chang is obsessed with Cedric Diggory, her boyfriend. There is ancient magic coursing through her and Cedric, though neither seem to notice this. She is a hot-headed, capable woman who knows how to use a wand.

Cedric Diggory

The third corner of the love triangle – a very trusting, friendly guy, but he can put that aside if the task is important enough. Loyal to his girlfriend, Cho Chang, he's willing to do whatever it takes to prove himself to her, to always stay by her side.

Ginny Weasley

The fourth corner of the love triangle – obsessed with Harry Potter, harboring strong feelings for the Boy-Who-Lived. She's very upfront about what she wants from Harry, but he's too blinded by Cho. Ginny has decided to take matters into her own hands to win the heart of one Harry Potter.

Luna Lovegood

Head in the clouds – a very odd woman. She believes in creatures that have no proof of existence, and she speaks ina very existential, dream-like voice that makes one wonder if she's "all there". Despite her eccentric behavior, she is a loyal friend and a surprisingly capable fighter.

Draco Malfoy

Confused villain – brought all his life to believe what his father told him. He blindly serves the Dark Lord, and has an insatiable grudge against Harry Potter, mainly because Harry keeps beating Malfoy and ruining his schemes. Draco's ready to get some help to take down Harry, but who else has a grudge (or ego) large enough to help?

Albus Dumbledore

Mentor – senile old man running Hogwarts. He tries to be helpful to Harry and his friends in their quest, but he works according to his own agenda. What the hell is going on in this guy's mind?

Lord Voldemort

Lead villain – hellbent on world domination. After being thwarted by a one year old Harry Potter, Voldemort is ready to get rid of him, therby ridding him of the only person standing in his way of domination. Though he is evil, he does respect manners and demands that other people be courteous to others… at least to an extent.

Bellatrix Lestrange

Right-hand follower – unconditional follower of the Lord Voldemort. She is willing to do whatever it takes to please him. A little crazy, but what good villain isn't?

Severus Snape

That teacher – a droning, emotionless teacher who has a grudge against Gryfinndor House, particularly Mr. Harry Potter. It's hard to tell if he really is a good guy, what with all the time he spends in his dungeons, but Dumbledore trusts him, so he must be cool.

Barty Crouch Jr./Mad-Eye Moody

One half of the Snape/Moody buddy comedy duo – Snape's partner in crime. He does all he can to impress Snape and show that he is ready to do whatever it takes to help his one friend, his best friend ever. Hilarity ensues when the two are together.

Fleur Delacour

Beauxbatons Champion – quarter-Veela in the Tournament. She is strong, but can be quickly overpowered if unprepared. A little vain.

Viktor Krum

Durmstrang Champion – trigger-happy gun-toting Bulgarian in the tournament. He still uses his wand in most cases, the guns are just in case something bad happens. Yeah, let's go with that. Crazy, evil, it all goes together.
