Hogsmeade Idol: A Play in One Act Scene 1: Gryffindor Commonroom, before the fire NEVILLE: Where are we going tonight again? HERMIONE: Neville, for the 10th time, we are going to the Shrieking Shack. Graduation is tomorrow and we are going to celebrate. RON: You know, I still can’t believe the place, what a change. Professor Lupin’s idea of turning the place into a night club was bloody brilliant. The place is a gold mine. GINNY: Yea and those V.I.P. passes he gave us sure come in handy. No waiting in line for the D.A.! HERMIONE: Where is Harry, we better be leaving soon. You’d think Mr. Vanquished the dark lord, Head-Boy would be first in line to celebrate. Ron won’t you go upstairs and see what’s taking him? HARRY (coming down the stairs): I’m coming, I’m coming; just trying unsuccessfully (as always) to do something with this hair of mine. Let’s go, I’ve got a bottle of Firewhiskey with my name on it. HERMIONE: Well you don’t want to get too carried away, graduation IS tomorrow morning and I wouldn’t want you to miss my Valedictorian speech. LUNA: Give the guy a break Hermione. Come on everyone, the first round is on me! (Exaunt) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~ Scene 2: Outside the Shrieking Shack GINNY: Gosh, look at that line will ya, Remus is sure raking it in tonight. I’ve never seen the place this packed. RON: Yea, I wonder what’s going on. Hey, (points to a large hand painted sign) what is “CAR-A-OK?” HERMIONE: No, Ronald. Its not “Car-a-ok, its Care-E-Okey. NEVILLE: What is Karaoke? HERMIONE: Its where people take turns getting on stage and singing songs. Its quite popular in the Americas, really fun I’ve heard. (All of the teenagers turn to Hermione, mouths open, questioning looks on their faces.) I’m muggle born remember, its my job to know this stuff. Let’s go in, and grab our table. (Exaunt) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~ Scene 3: Inside the Shrieking Shack RON: There is absolutely NO way I am getting up on that stage and singing. LUNA: Come on Ronald, it will be fun. Here, have another butterbeer, it will loosen you up. (gestures to waitress, who comes and refills Ron’s drink.) GINNY: Well, I’m game, what about you Harry. Anything in that book worth singing? HARRY: (pushing the songbook across the table to Ginny) Actually yea, check this one out. It’s a duet though, what do you say? GINNY, after a pause: Uh, sure, lets give it a go. HARRY: Well, alright, see you chickens on stage. (downs his shot of firewhiskey and exits, with GINNY to stage. REMUS LUPIN: Alright everyone, yes. Please give it up for Mr. Finnigan and his rendition of the Hogwarts school song. Excellent work Seamus. Now, up next we have a duet, so put your hands together for Harry Potter and Ginny Weasley!!!! HARRY: Yea! Here we go, its GW and HP GINNY: singing: ohh, ohh Baby HARRY: My girl, Ginny, hit it. GINNY (singing chorus): Sunshine. I can call you my baby boy, you can call me your baby girl. Maybe we can spend some time, I can be your sunshine.. HARRY: Look, I know you wanna chill with a seeker, but all you gotta do is keep it real with a seeker. Just answer your fire, whenever I call Cause I’m ridin my ‘bolt whenever I ball. I like em short and tall, but not too thick, I just walk in the spot and pick my witch, They wanna roll cause they like my style, And when I flash my scar I make em smile. I need a witch that’s a sight, right beside me in a fight, Loyal to me till the end, girl you know it’ll be alright. Be right beside me, and I’ll adore you And treat you like milk, I’ll do nothing but spoil you GINNY (singing chorus): Sunshine, I can call you my baby boy, you can call me your baby girl. Maybe we can spend some time, I can be your sunshine.. HARRY: I know your friends wanna holla cause I got them dollars, Push the Firebolt Monday, Tuesday Nimbus. I catch the snitch like a cold I’m a baler, And if you’re on the floo network, I’m gon call ya. And we can meet up the next day and chill, But I’m always in the air baby girl, that’s how I live I got goals to score, and lives to save But when my broom touch down, pick me up at 8 Don’t be late! GINNY (singing chorus): We don’t have to be in love (love). We can just be friends (friends). I will be right there, beginning to the end. I can bring my girls (girls), you can bring your friends (friends). We can both have fun, don’t want this time to end! HARRY: They say that pain is love, and love is pain I know you haters mad cause of all my fame. You think you know my type but you ain’t got no clue About what Gryffindor like me do. I like to save my friends, and catch the snitch, And I can change your life, if you get with this. I take portkeys to Vegas man Got dead eaters locked in Azkaban. We can cruse the world in a magic car The whole wizard world knowing who you are, You couldn’t ask for more, cause we got it all, And you my baby girl right, right? GINNY (singing chorus): Sunshine, I can call you my baby boy, you can call me your baby girl. Maybe we can spend some time, I can be your sunshine!!! Thank you very much!! LUPIN: Alright witches and wizards that was Harry Potter and Ginny Wesley singing “Sunshine.” And remember folks, to cast your ballots for the best singer. The winner of the contest will receive front row tickets to next week’s special performance featuring the Weird Sisters. Good luck everyone, and let the singing continue. HARRY (sitting back down at the table, with Ginny): Well guys, what do you think? HERMIONE: That was excellent you guys, very good. LUNA: I totally thought you guys were a muggle duet or something, awesome. GINNY: Well, we broke the ice, so who’s next? Ron, Hermione? NEVILLE: I’ll go, this song looks good. Kind of fast paced. What do you say Ron, want to team up. RON: Uh, no thanks. HERMIONE: Well Neville, you sure seem to have broken out of your shell, if Snape could see you now. Oh go on Ron, if you do, I’ll make it worth your while. RON (blushing): Uh, um, (coughs) well, come on Neville. LUPIN: Our next act is a fine young pair of Gryffindor’s, soon to be graduates! So let’s make some noise for Ron Weasley and Neville Longbottom!! RON (walking off stage): I can’t do this… LUPIN (shoving a microphone in Ron’s hand and shoving him back on stage) Oh go on Weasley, this can’t be as hard as N.E.W.T.s. NEVILLE: Before we get started I want to hear, just which house is the best house? (Mixed screams from the crowd). No, I mean which house is the BEST house? CROWD: Gryffindor!!! Gryffindor!!! NEVILLE: Now you you want? CROWD: Gryff, Gryff, Gryff, Gryff; Gryff, Gryff, Gryff, Gryff NEVILLE: Now you done messed up and let us at the snitch, We’re just your average Gryffindor’s with dreams of getting rich.

Back at the table Neville and Ron return to cheers and full mugs of butterbeer. The gang laughs and jokes around. Singing along with the various tunes and getting drunker by the song, Ron is getting brave. RON: Alright, damn it, I got a song to sing, and it’s a bloody solo. (instead of going on stage Ron unceremoniously climbs on top of the table, spilling his and Luna’s drink in the process) Listen up everyone, I got a song to sing. A song that I should have sung years ago, so hear it goes. Wise men say only fools were shy (turning to Hermione) but I can't help falling in love with you Shall I stay would it be a same but I can't help falling in love with you As the river flows gently to the sea darling so we go some things were made to be take my hand take my whole life too I can't help falling in love with you HERMIONE (Climbing on top of the table to join Ron, tears in her eyes): Oh, I love you too Ron.

HARRY: Well you know, if you are really looking, I AM going to be training to be an auror. (Looks at his feet and fidgets with his hands) GINNY: Why Harry Potter, are you asking me out?

That’s right, Ron, Luna, Ginny, Neville, even you Hermione, get up here and lets give them an encore! (the group slowly joins Harry on stage as the crowd goes nuts.
