All this and Broadway too? Hey guys, recently I was in a weird mood and decided there should be a HP musical written by all of us. Yes, those of you who know me will ask, "There are times when Suzy is not in a weird mood?" and to those people I say *blows raspberry with toungue* Yes, I also know that Cali is going to kill me but, I take what I can get. I'm gonna post the first song I thought of and you guys feel free to continue. The characters are not mine and my humblist apologies to Disney and whoever wrote this, I forget.Sung to the tune of Santa Fe from Disney's The Newsies-[Harry Potter wanders dejectedly out of The Burrow. It is late evening and the jolly sounds of a laughing Weasley family can be heard from inside. Harry kicks the leaves as he walks away from the cheerful hubbub of the house and wanders through the garden hands in pockets. He sits on the garden wall as the first strains begin to play...] Harry- *singing* So, that's what they call a family. Mother, Daughter, Father, Son. Guess that everything you've heard about is truuuuuue... [gets up and begins to pace as next part is sung] Harry (cont.)- So, you ain't got any family. Well, who said you needed one? Ain't ya glad nobody's waitin up for you? [Astrides broomstick with intent to get as far away from the happiness that makes him jealous as possible. Next bit is sung while flying through the night sky.] Harry (cont.)- Hogwarts? Are you there? Do you swear you won't forget me? If I found you would you let me come and stay? It's just a few more months now and I leave Privet Drive to stay. Dreams come true, yes they do, at Hogwarts! [Harry has now flown so furiously for so far that he finds himself over #4 Privet Drive. So consumed with the song is he, however, that he neglects to remember that flying over a muggle nieghborhood on a broomstick is probably not good. He looks bitterly down as he hovers over #4.] Harry (cont.)- Where does it say you gotta live and die here?! Where does it say a guy can't catch a break?! Why must you always take what you're given? Why must you spend you're whole life livin'...trapped where there ain't no future? Even a second scene? Breakin' your back for someone elses sake. If the light don't seem to suite ya, how bout a change of scene? Far from the lousy headache and the heartbreak in betweeeeeeeeeeeen! [Takes off straight up during last line, several sleepy muggle heads peek out to hear who's making all the noise and see the dark shape. Reports will later confirm it was a huge black bat.] Harry (cont.)- And I dream like the wind, like I'm gonna live forever. It's a dream that time can never take away! I ain't gettin' any younger and before my dieing day I want space! Not just air! Let them laugh in my face I don't care! [Harry looks off in the direction he believes the Hogwarts train takes every year] Harry (cont.)- Save a place, I'll be there. [Harry makes his way back to The Burrow before someone gets worried about him. As he walks slowly back to the warmly lit house he sings the last verse into the darkness.] Harry (cont.)- So that's what they call a family. Ain't you glad you ain't that way? Ain't you glad you got a dream called Hoooogwaaaarrrrtssss... [Harry steels himself, sucking in air between his teeth and opens the Weasley family door going back into the bright kitchen.]

I won't kill you just yet because you haven't written anything where I sing. Hmmm, I just thought of something "Look at Me, I'm Suzy P.", sung to "Look at me, I'm Sandra D" from Grease, naturally. *evil grin*

Cali, I was thinking you'd get mad at me for doing a "Sucky" musical. You obviously are just as nerdy as I am but, you try and hide it. Anyway, I have to do Suzy P. now that you've said it... None of the characters, except Suzy, are mine.Sung to the tune of Sandra D. from Grease-[Suzy, Cally, Kia, and a female Nialle are having a sleepover in the Ravenclaw girls dorms (in March ;D). There is much pillowfighting and pajama wearing and the stuff that goes on in a regular stereotypical girl's sleepover. Suzy, in a brief moment of lucidness on the part of Nialle, is once again asked about her past. There is a "Pregnant Sam Shepard Silence" in which Suzy contemplates answering. Her face suddenly cracks into a grin and all parties know that Suzy is going to change the subject in a typically Suzy style. There will be no questions answered tonight...] Suzy (*singing*)- Look at me I'm Suzy P. Lousy with debotchery. I'm sick in the head and I'm legally dead! I'm just plain Suzy P! [Suzy sitts primly on bed and sings next part as others sing backup "Ohh"'s] Suzy (cont.)- I drink and I swear but, don't you dare! 'Cause I get sick from one cigarette. *cough, cough, cough* [the group members lean in close, Suzy freins shock] Suzy (cont.)- Keep your filthy paws off my silky drawers! I'm not that easy to get! [Suzy stands up on bed for dramatic effect and promptly falls off the bed and is momentarily hidden from view. She quickly stands up straightening herself out.] Suzy (cont.)- One step more, I hit the floor. As graceful as a swinging door. Me you can trust, I'm no object of lust! I'm just plain Suzy P! [Pulls out picture of Allen Rickman as Snape.] Suzy (cont.)- Allen! Allen! Let me be! Keep that Snapeness far away from me! Don't act like a fool now you're starting to drooooooooooooooooollll! Hey, I'm Suzy P. [music continues as the girls collapse laughing on the bed and Suzy is safed from sharing for one more day]

Kay, I got this from the SugarQuill site, the stage directions are by Hallie. I'm a romatic R/H shipper so I had to post it here.
Save the Best for Last (with apologies to Vanessa Williams)
Sometimes the snow comes down in June Sometimes the sun goes 'round the moon I see the passion in your eyes Sometimes it's all a big surprise
*FLASHBACK*
[Ron and Herm in Charms, in the middle of June, Hermione has just conjured up some snow, and there’s one of those pauses where you think they’re going to kiss, and they don’t and you’re prepared to kill them (only, of course, we couldn’t, as we love both of them, and need to see them together)]
Cause there was a time when all I did was wish, You'd tell me this was love It's not the way I hoped or how I planned But somehow it's enough
*PRESENT*
[Ron and Hermione together, Draco has just insulted Hermione, and Ron jumps to her defence, Draco asks why Ron is bothering with a Mudblood, and Ron says ‘Because I love her,’]
And now we're standing face to face Isn't this world a crazy place? Just when I thought a chance had passed You go and save the best for last
*PRESENT*
[Ron turns to Hermione, and there is an inevitable kiss moment.]
All of the nights you came to me When some silly girl had set you free You wondered how you'd make it through I wondered what was wrong with you
*FLASHBACK*
[The Yule Ball, Ron asking everybody but Hermione, and then lamenting to her when he can’t get a date.]
Cause how could you keep your love from everyone yet share your dreams with me Sometimes of everything you're looking for It's the one thing you can't see
*FLASHBACK*
[Various Ron and Hermione moments from the books.]
But now we're standing face to face Isn't this world a crazy place? Just when I thought a chance had passed You go and save the best for last
Sometimes of everything you're looking for It's the one thing you can't see
(Instrumental)
Sometimes the snow comes down in June Sometimes the sun goes 'round the moon Just when I thought a chance had passed You go and save the best for last
You went and saved the best for last
[Fades out with Ron and Hermione leaving the confrontation, Ron’s arm around Hermione.]

Carry on Leia! That's what the thread is for!
Sung to the tune of Hopelessly Devoted from Grease
[Ginny is sitting, forgotten waif-like, in the casement of her window in the Gryffindor first year girl's dorms. As a falling star zooms across the heavens her mind is filled to bursting with thoughts of a certain darkhaired, spectecaled, Gryffindor, boy who lived]
Ginny *sings*- Guess mine is not the first heart broken. My eyes are not the first to cry. But baby can't you see, there's nothin' left for me to do? I'm hopelessly devoted to you.
[Pulls out only picture she has of HP. Happens to be a copy of the one Colin took of Harry looking embarressed and trying to pull away from Prof. Lockhart. It still causes her to be heartstruck]
Ginny (cont.)- My head is sayin', "Fool, forget him." my heart is sayin', "Don't let go. Hold on till the end." and that's what I intend to do. I'm hopelessly devoted to you.
[gets up to wander and throw arms about dramatically. Several of the girls wake up annoyed]
Ginny (cont.)- But now, there's no where to hide since you pushed my love aside! I'm out of my head, hopelessly devoted to yooooouuuu! I'm hopelessly devoted to you! Hopelessly devoted to you. Oohhhhhhhhhhhh!
[Ginny gets smacked in the face by a pillow thrown by a nameless Gryffindor girl. She hears pounding on the wall and her brother Ron's voice can be heard saying, "Oy, Ginny! Can't you shut up? We're trying to sleep!" and a groggy voiced HP saying, "What was she singing for anyways?"]

Sung to the tune of I Won't Say [I'm in Love] from Disney's Hercules-[Hermione walks into blank hallway. No one around. She looks around. No one around. She takes a breath.] Hermione *singing*- If there's a prize for rotten judgement, I guess I've already won that. No man is worth the aggravation! That's ancient history been there done that! [Fred and George enter scene. They see Hermione. They hear Hermione. Hermione does not see them. She does not hear them. They join in the song without her knowing] Fred + George *singing*- Who'd you think you're kidding? He's the earth and heaven to you Hermione - Ohhhh…. Fred- Try to keep it hidden. Honey, we can see right through you George- Girl, you can't conceal it, We know how you feel and who you're thinking offffffffff… [Hermione launches right into it, singing passionately] Hermione- Ohhh… No chance, no way. I won't say it, no no… [Percy, Harry, and Ginny make an entrance, and join in with the Weasly twins] Ginny and the twins- You swooooon, you siiigh Harry + Percy- Why deny it, oh ohhh…. [Hermione wrings her hands in the air] Hermione- It's too cliché, I won't say I'm in loooooove…. [Professor McGongall walks in surprised, but joins in as well] Ginny, twins, Harry, Ron, Percy + Professor McGongall- Ooo… [Hermione looks down sadly and sweetly at small figure of Victor Krum in her hand, he looks forlornly back.] Hermione- I thought my heart had learnt its lesson. It feels so good when you start out. My head is screaming, "Get A GRIP, Girl! Unless you're dying to cry your heart out.", ohhhh…. [Snape and Hagrid pop in. Hagrid joins in heartily, and Snape, against his better judgement, joins in too] Ginny + Twins- You keep on denying who you are and how you're feeling. Harry + Percy- Baby, we're not buying. Hon, we saw you hit the ceiling. Snape, Hagrid + Professor McGongall- Face it like a grown up. When you gotta own up All except Hermione- That you got, got, got it baaaadddd… Hermione- Ohhh…. [The youngest Weasley boy has shown up, and he's enjoying the way Hermione looks, and of course the fact that she's singing for him. He leans against the wall and lets everyone go on singing though his ears are getting redder by the second. Dumbledore stumbles into scene and joins in cheerfully, waiting for his cue] Hermione- No chance, no way. I won't say it, no no [All the prefects in the school trample over to see one of the most serious students and teachers sing a love song. Then the Gryffindor quidditch team, including reserves and trainees, runs over to see the show too. All join in chorus bits and/or do slight acts of dance in the background.] Ginny, Twins, Harry, Percy, Snape, Hagrid, Professor McGongall, Dumbledore, the Quidditch Team + Prefects- Give up, give in. Dumbledore- Check the grin, you're in love! [Hermione blushes] Hermione- This scene, won't play. I won't say I'm in love… [The whole school is shaking with song. The animals outside wonder what in the world is going on.] Ginny, Twins, Harry, Percy, Snape, Hagrid, Professor McGongall, Dumbledore, the Quidditch Team + Prefects- You're doing flips, Read our lips, you're in love!!! [Hermione looks irritated at the fact that they had cut in on her 'loveeeee….' part, but she goes on] Hermione- You're way off base, I won't say it. Get off my case, I won't say it! Ginny, Twins, Harry, Percy, Snape, Hagrid, Professor McGongall, Dumbledore, the Quidditch Team + Prefects- Girl, don't be proud. It's okay, you're in love… [This note is the envy of all the girls who wanted to become singers…] Hermione- Ohhhhhhhhh…. At least, out loud I won't say I'm in looove… Ginny, Twins, Harry, Percy [Snape flatly refuses to join in on any Shalalalala-ing], Hagrid, Professor McGongall, Dumbledore, the Quidditch Team + Prefects- Shalalalalalalaaa…
Hermione- Ron!
Ron- You sing quite well. Did you have to do it in the middle of the bloody school?
Hermione- Well, I wouldn't if YOU would pay attention to me!
Ron- Oh, so now it's my fault you have the school in an uproar!
Hermione- *flushed* Yes it is!
Ron- *very flushed* Oh, yeah?!
Hermione- Yeah!
Ron- Well, I think you're cute!
Hermione- Well, I think you're cuter!
Ron- We'll see about that!
[Ron grabs Hermione in a kiss that is both passionate and surprising for both parties. The whole hall claps.]
Everyone but Hermione and Ron- Awwww….

Okay, I gave it a try. It's to the tune of "A Whole New World" in Aladdin.
[Harry and Ginny are flying around the Quidditch field at night. Harry is sitting in front, with Ginny's arms wrapped around his stomach so she doesn't fall off. They're at the end of their 7th year.]
Harry- I can show you this life; flying, heart-rushing, soaring.
[Takes a suicidal dip, and Ginny clings to him tighter.]
Harry- Tell me Ginny, now why won't you just say you love me now? I can show you this life; give you loving and kisses.
[He pulls out of the dive when she snuggles her face between his ear and his shoulder.]
Harry- Filling all of your wishes; through this magic married life. A whole new life! A new romantic point of view. No rules to make us stay, or go away, or say we're only children.
[Here Harry spreads his arms out as if he is flying, that is...flying without a broom. Ginny quickly grabs the handle to steer, which seemed to be Harry's intent all along.]
Ginny- A whole new life! A whole new life I never knew. But when I'm flying now, I feel I'll vow, that now I'll spend my whole new life with you.
Harry- (Now I'm in a whole new life with you!)
[Harry puts his hands on top of Ginny's. She slowly draws them back and wraps them around his stomach again, giving him a light kiss on the ear.]
Ginny- I can't say how I feel! Everything is all blurry! Falling, blind-folded, caught-in-flurry, whenever I'm with you. A whole new life
Harry- (people like you are few)
Ginny- I feel like I'm eternity
Harry- (Just you wait- you'll feel better)
Ginny- I'm like a dazzling doll, I'll never fall. I'll never be like my old life, you see.
Harry- A whole new life!
Ginny- Children running under foot!
Harry- With your sweet face to mirror you
Ginny- some black-haired, some red-haired
Both- We'll be together till, our dreams full-fill, let me start a whole new life with you.
[Harry turns around to look at Ginny, but she sternly moves him back into place so he can continue steering.]
Harry- A whole new life!
Ginny- (A whole new life)
Harry- Just wait and see!
[Harry gets distracted from steering the broom. It is tilted downwards. It starts picking up speed.]
Ginny- (just wait and see)
[Ginny grabs the broom handle and makes it skim along so their feet just miss the ground.]
Harry- It's all so great!
Ginny- It seems like fate!
[Ginny takes her hands off of the broom.]
Both- With you and me!
[Harry ignores his duty of steering the broom. He turns around and kisses Ginny dramatically. They fall off of the broom, and roll to a stop on the quidditch pitch. They close with another kiss.]
