Chamber of the Secrets

To the title tune of Little Shop of Horrors

The Scene: BINNS' classroom. Thunder rumbles and the music begins. Three house elves walk onstage as BINNS begins his lecture on the Chamber of Secrets.

BINNS
On the 50th year of the founding of Hogwarts
In an early year of a decade 1000 years before our own...
The founders suddenly encountered a terrible obstacle to the school's existence.
And when Salazar Slytherin left them, as his defeat had him crushed,
They are said to have received the most horrific...and unlikely...of surprises.

Music speeds up. The house elves begin dancing.

HOUSE ELVES
Chamber of....Chamber of the Secrets
Chamber of...don't you ever seek it!
Mars above, Chamber of the Secrets
No, oh no no, oh no oh no!

Chamber of...Chamber of the Secrets!

DOBBY
Harry, love...be afraid to speak it!

HOUSE ELVES
Slytherin's glove....built its deadly secret.
No oh no no, oh no, oh no!

BINNS
Salazar....by his evil stars, built that awful place! (look out, out, look, look out!)
Slytherin...though he didn't win wanted the last word!
Serpent-tongue...Wanted to be hung, but he done saved face!

HOUSE ELVES
Be frightened, telling you be frightened!
Security, it will soon be tightened!
Be frightened, all of you be frightened at once!

DOBBY
Oh...run away, Harry!
All I'll say, Harry...Is go, go, go!
Oh...It's a plot, Harry!
You'll be fought, Harry!
Go, go, go! Go, go, go, go!

RON
What a mess...worse than a pop test is a monster's tooth! (look out, out, look, look out!)

HERMIONE
Horror there...but I am not scared if it's in a book!

HARRY
Parseltongue...just another rung on the stair to truth!

HOUSE ELVES
A boggart, it's worse than a boggart!
Something's roaming, roaming around Hogwarts!
A boggart, boggart couldn't take on this look!

Come on, come on, come on, come on!

Chamber of...Chamber of the Secrets!
Mars above! Be afraid to seek it!
Chamber of...Chamber of the Secrets!
Oh no no no, Oh no no no! Oh no no NO!!!

The Burrow

To the tune of Skid Row

RON, GEORGE, FRED and PERCY are explaining the particulars of life at their house to HARRY and HERMIONE.

RON (wearily)
We all wake up at seven
And breakfast is served!
We degnome our own lawn
For the spawn of those garden pests!

FRED & GEORGE
Sing it, bro!

RON
Still our mum knows best...

Yet we live...

ALL
Up here where no airplane flies!
We live up here far from prying eyes!
We live up here, where life's a reprise, same old show...
At the Burrow!
At the Burrow!

Yes, we live...

Up here, with the pigs and swine.
Up here, life's far from divine!

WEASLEY BOYS
Up here, where our sister whines...

RON (wearily)
Don't I know!

ALL
At the Burrow!

WEASLEYS
Dad works a desk job at the Ministry!
Dad works for pay which is quite miserly!
Buying all his lunches with a couple knuts!
It's a wonder his pay can still take more cuts!

And Dad works for people like that dumbass, Fudge!
Who haven't got the difference between brains and sludge!
His bosses are tyrannical and work him hard
And treat him like a dumb retard!

Home he comes...

Up here, where the wind will howl!
Up here, with our mangy owl!
Up here where our mother scowls come or go!
At the Burrow!
At the Burrow!
At the Burrow!
At the Burrow!
At the Burrow!
At the Burrow!
At the Burrow!

RON
Poor! All our lives, we've always been poor!
We have all learned not to want more!
There's no way we can even our score.
And what's more, man...

HARRY
Stop! I started life as an orphan,
A crime of the war, in Privet Drive.
They took me in, gave me shelter and hell
Beat me well if I cheeked.
Hated my guts and called me a freak
Which I'm not!

I like it...

Up here with you Weasley boys.
It's good up here, where I'm well employed.
It's nice up here, where I am enjoyed, not a foe!
At the Burrow!

I wish I had a way I could live with you!
Oh, please God, I do pray that I'll live with you!
Please won't Dumbledore say I could live with you?
Oh, just up here to live, gold I'll give you!

(simultaneous with below)
Give me something to do so I'll live with you!
My labor will be true, let me live with you!
Oh, my safety be screwed, I should live with you.
Those who say that you're poor just abhor you!

I'd gladly leave that hell just to live with you!
Bid the Dursleys farewell and just live with you!
I'll do everything well, Yes I will, yes sir!
'Cause the Muggle home feels like a sepulcher!
My protection is not a parameter!
Oh, believe me I could not be happier!
If I only could live with you at the
BURROW!

WEASLEYS (synonymous with above)
Up here...with the frisky gnomes!
Up here...in our dirty home!
Up here...ghouls live in the chrome, crying "oh"!

Up here, at high altitude!
Up here, always in bad moods!
Up here, though we've got some good food, not much dough!
Up here!
Up here!
Up here!
THE BURROW!

Malfoy and Son

To the tune of Mushnik and Son

LUCIUS and DRACO are down Knockturn Alley.

LUCIUS (spoken)
Draco...

DRACO (spoken)
Dad?

LUCIUS (sung)
Keep close to me when we're down here!
I do not want to lose my precious only child!
Of coming here I never tire
But with the werewolves and vampires
You could arouse their evil ire.
Stay close.

DRACO
Yes, sire.

LUCIUS
Draco, remember, do not touch.
For some of the stuff here is volatile at best.

DRACO
A hand of glory and a mask....

LUCIUS
A bunch of poison in a flask...

DRACO
This place was made to give you creeps...

LUCIUS
Don't be afraid of all these creeps.

They enter Borgin and Burkes.

BORGIN
Malfoy and son!
How nice!
I'll sell nicely, pick your price!

LUCIUS
Three gall-e-ons will suffice for me.

BORGIN
Don't want to buy? Oh hell.

LUCIUS
In fact, I am here to sell.

BORGIN
I'll pay you as well as I fit see.

DRACO
What is that hand within the glass?

BORGIN
The hand of glory, it's a friend of thugs and thieves.

LUCIUS
Draco, we won't buy from this shop
But if your grades do not pick up
A thief or thug may be your fate!

Malfoy and Son, that's right!
For your grades put up a fight!

DRACO
That Mudblood takes out a bite from me!

LUCIUS
Now Borgin, don't be coy.
Give me something for these toys.
Dark Arts I enjoy...

BORGIN
He's smart as Tolstoy!

DRACO
I'm an evil boy!

ALL
Malfoy and son!

To the tune of We're Closed for Renovation

FLOURISH AND BLOTTS ATTENDANTS
We're having a book signing
For Lockhart book promotion
The guy is here in person
To stir lady emotion!

We have a little notion that tomorrow will be grey
So we're having the book signing today!

Oh Lockhart has been selling
Because of all his smiling
Because of his dashingness

This man's flows out like water!
A literary ocean!
The owls ain't stopped coming
Between them there's no delay!

Selling the other books are chores!
The Lockhart books fly out the stores!

The other authors all are bores!
The audience their stuff deplores!
While Lockhart books just grow like spores!
We're having a book signing today!

Da-Doop

To the tune of the same name

Accompanied by the House Elf chorus, HARRY tells Hermione and Ron about Lockhart and the voice he heard .

HARRY (spoken)
I was stuck doing detention with Lockhart tonight...

ELVES
Dang-da doop!

HARRY
And I had to help him answer his fan mail.

ELVES
Fan-da doop!

HARRY
He had me doing it for about four hours.

ELVES
Yawn-da doop!

HARRY
Because after all, he had absolutely no idea what time it was since he was having fun.

ELVES
Da-da-da-da-da-da doop!

HARRY
He was going to let me out because it was getting late.

ELVES
Twelve-da doop!

HARRY
So I was just gonna leave his office.

ELVES
Go on through.

HARRY
When suddenly, and without warning, I heard this....

ALL
Frightening voice in the walls!

HARRY
It hissed a bit, and it said a lot of homicidal sayings like it was REALLY hungry. And when it stopped talking, Lockhart didn't even know it had been there.

ELVES
Dumb-da doop!

HARRY
He just...though I was kind of weirded out.

ELVES
Lost a screw.

HARRY
Now, I could have sworn it was there. But I left his office puzzled anyway.

ELVES
Sha-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-loo!

HARRY
Do any of you have any idea what it means?

Snub the Dueling Club

To the tune of Don't It Go to Show Ya Never Know

LOCKHART
Since I know you students are hating me
Sev'rus Snape is gonna be aiding me
Teaching you how to duel
In light of the attacks!

SNAPE (to himself)
That idiot couldn't fight off a boggart..
I cannot stand this idiot Lockhart.
I'm gonna give him a taste of some Slytherin smack!
When I'm done he'll wish he would be given the sack!

LOCKHART
Here's how we start off the fight, boys and girls watch and learn.
Though a wand isn't trite, it can have you well burned.

SNAPE
What a show-off, he's an idiotic darn puss.
I will show him! Expelliarmus!

LOCKHART is thrown backwards.

LOCKHART
You was great throwing that curse at me, Severus.

SNAPE
You looked more idiotic than a giant in a suit!

LOCKHART
But it was a little obvious what you were going to do, Severus.

Woohoo, volunteers now!

Harry Potter, get up here!
Just take out that wand and have no fear!
Only to disarm now, is that clear?

HARRY
How can I block spells if they come up?

LOCKHART
(strange gesture)
Do that now.

SNAPE
That was queer.
I'm ready to snub this dueling club.

Someone from Slytherin!
Please, for heaven's sake, though, try to win!

CRABBE & GOYLE
Go on up there, Draco. Ain't a sin.

DRACO
I'm gonna sink Potter like a sub!
Just watch this!
He'll be binned
And then we can snub this dueling club!

LOCKHART
Draco, Potter, let's see this duel!

SNAPE (to DRACO)
Here's a wicked idea.
Go out there and cast Serpensortia.
Then he'll clamor to run for his miserable life!
It's a curse that'll scare him.
If not, it will probably impair him.
Show Potter the true meaning of the English word strife!

Let's do it!

DRACO
Are you scared?

HARRY
Don't be stupid, Draco, this fight's fair.
I just flick my wand and then and there
I'll do more than have your dumb toe stubbed!

casts spell

Bye, Malfoy!

DRACO
You won't dare
When my snake has snubbed this dueling club!
Let's cast this spell at once!
It's just not in Potter's experience.
Seeing a snake without being near a fence!
It'll make him into serpent grub!
Bye, Potter!
Serpensortia, dunce!
Oh, good God!
I'll be hung!
Potter is...
A Parseltongue!

HARRY
Snakey from the wand of Drake...
Leave Justin Finch-Fletchley alone, bub!

SNAPE
Finite!
Potter a freak I dub!
He did more than snub this dueling club!

Tom, Don't Be Mean

Sung to the tune of Somewhere that's Green

GINNY is writing in the "diary" about her fascination with Harry Potter.

GINNY
Harry is so hot, crikey!
But I don't think he'll ever like me!
So I love him from afar
But in return he won't give.

Still, that Potter's a hero!
But I fear he thinks I'm a queer, though.
And I dream of a time
When I could kiss the boy who lived!

Out on the Quidditch pitch...
Within the Gryffindor dorms...
I don't care where we'd fall in love
All I want is his form!

DIARY (sarcastically)
Well, please spare me the details
And just get the bed sheets cleaned!

GINNY
I'm not thinking that far,
Tom, don't be mean!

He reaches for the Snitch...
He fights off Voldemort!
I watch him full of respect
'Cause I really like his sort.

DIARY
He sounds almost too perfect
Does he have a noisy spleen?

GINNY
That's nasty to think of!
Tom, don't be mean!

Between his scar and black hair
And his manner, nonchalant...
He seems like such a nice boy
And his fame he doesn't like to flaunt!

DIARY
You sound too excited.
I'm Riddle, I know well
That you love Harry Potter
That he gives your poor heart hell.
Yet he's still just another kid
In t-shirts, shoes and jeans!
(hypnotically) Sit there, be calm.
Listen to Tom.

GINNY (in a trance) Just don't be mean.....

Answer Me!

To the tune of Grow For Me

ELVES
Doo....sha la la doo! Wop wop!
Doo...sha la la doo! Wop Wop!
Doo...sha la la doo! Wop Wop!
Dooo....

HARRY
This diary's weirdo
It speaks like a kid
I wonder, to make it...
What Tom Riddle did.

(to Diary)
So, Mr. Tom Riddle, from what you've been through...
Can you...
Answer me?

We've had some attacks here
All around the school
They say it's from Slyth'rin
Who sounds really cruel.

Oh, Riddle, please help me.
Just tell me what's true.

Can you...
Answer me?

DIARY
I just cannot tell you from this medium of contact
But in this book I have kept the mem'ries of my times there intact.
I'll show you what happened when I was a Hogwarts student.
I'll show you the answer
Through this diary's mem'ries

HARRY
Who took a traitorous bent?

Episode with the diary. Afterwards, HARRY flies out again and stares at it in shock.

HARRY
That episode chilled me
Right down to the bone
Looks like it was Hagrid
Who turned students to stone!

This old Thomas Riddle
Caught up to Hagrid...
He did....
He did....

Answer me!

Follow the Spiders

To the tune of Feed Me!

FUDGE and DUMBLEDORE (knocking on Hagrid's cabin door)
Hagrid!
Hagrid!
Hagrid!

HAGRID opens the door.

HAGRID
Yes, Headmaster?
What's the problem, now?
Spit it out!
Let me hear it....

Yes, Headmaster...
What's the problem now?

Just tell me quick, Headmaster.
So for recovery you allow...

FUDGE
Hagrid, you are under arrest.
I'm sorry, but I think it's best.

HAGRID
If you wanna save me from being messed...
Follow the spiders!
They will give you info.
If you think you've got the threat nailed,
Arachnids have a different tale.
Somebody, I swear it won't fail...
Follow the spiders!

HARRY (under the cloak, to RON)
Hey, come on Weasley, he's our friend!
He's a real nice guy!

RON
I do not like this, man.
Spiders are ugly guys..
Why not the butterflies?
Why spiders, Hagrid, oh man, WHY?!!

FUDGE
Come now, Hagrid, do not hang back.
We have gotta stop the guy behind these attacks.
It's against you, Hagrid, the cold hard facts,
And not spiders.

HAGRID
I will come....I will come...
I'm struck dumb....but if you want information...
In the wood....go without....hesitation.

LUCIUS appears.

LUCIUS
Dumbledore, you blund'ring old fool...
You're suspended as head of this school!

HAGRID
Oh, Malfoy this is really, really, really not cool!
They'll die without him!

LUCIUS (chuckling)
They'll die without him...

DUMBLEDORE
If the governors want me gone,
My actions shall of course, correspond.
But if anyone any help from me wants,
Then just ask it.

THEY LEAVE.

HARRY
If we want to save our friend,
Then we've gotta enter the dark wood.
Follow them to the bitter end...

RON
Why spiders? This is so not good!

Episode with Aragog. Afterwards, Ron is being sick in the pumpkin patch.

HARRY
If we want to save Hagrid,
It really isn't hard to tell
Despite that Thomas Riddle kid...
The guy don't deserve a prison cell!
The guy don't deserve a prison cell!
The guy don't deserve a prison cell!

RON
Oh, those spiders made me so sick.

HARRY
Gross or not, those spiders, they made the info click!
Some arachnids just did the trick!
Some arachnids just did the trick!
Some arachnids just did the trick!
Thank you, spiders!

Come to the Chamber Now

To the tune of Suppertime

The diary is persuading Ginny to come to the chamber with its hypnotic power.

DIARY
They're onto your mistakes...
They know what you commit.
You've gotta run quickly
You can't afford to sit.
They've got you, holy cow!
Come to the chamber now.

Come on, come on! think about all those Mudbloods!
Come on, come on, remember, you're guilty!
Come on, come on! Ain't no time to get caught, now!
C-c-c-come on! We're both on the same page!
At your crimes those fools take umbrage!

Come on, come on.
Come on, come on.
Come on, come down...
To the Chamber!
The Chamber!

Come on, come on.
Come on, come on.
Come on, come down!
To the Chamber!

SNAPE, MCGONAGALL and DUMBLEDORE are observing the writing on the wall.

SNAPE
The Heir is back.
What will we do, Headmaster?

MINERVA
It's sad to think the student down there's
Ginny Weasley, youngest Weasley.

DUMBLEDORE
We'll close the school...
But gee, how sad this should occur.
God, Minerva,
Severus, man...
Close the gates.

MCGONAGALL and SNAPE
Yes sir.

HARRY and RON come out of their hiding place once the three teachers have left.

HARRY
Oh what a mess, what a shame!

RON
My sister down there alone...

HARRY
It's rotten luck, my good friend.

RON
This thing chills me to the bone!
We're going down there quick
To make that basilisk tick!

BOTH
Come on, let's gird ourselves up
Need all the help we can get
Lockhart could help us out
He's not that keen, though, I'll bet.
That snake will become chow
When we attack it now!

It's Just I'm Dead

To the tune of It's Just the Gas

The scene is Moaning Myrtle's toilet. HERMIONE, RON and HARRY have come in to brew the Polyjuice Potion.

MYRTLE
I'm Moaning Myrtle! I wouldn't expect you to know me! No one ever cares about Miserable, moaning, moaping Myrtle!

HERMIONE (sung)
Myrtle, my dear
It's so nice to see you today, you look pretty.

MYRTLE (sung)
Don't waste time on me with your stupid, trite pity
I know you detest me because I just cry all the time.

HERMIONE
Myrtle, my dear.
You're mistaken, we don't think you're a bore at all, but...
Is there any way could use any stall that
Is free of grime?

MYRTLE
What...do you want?
Why....are you here?
You just hate me!

HERMIONE
No, my dear!

MYRTLE (spoken, sniffling)
Yes sir, you do! You're just lying! I'll just show you right now that ghosts have feelings too. Sit down and shut up, will ya?

(sung)
Don't be fooled that I'm transparent
Or that I can float around
It's just I'm dead...(sob) I cannot feel.
But don't let that fact deceive you
My emotions are quite real.
My day was nice, you can still spoil it
Though I walk through walls and toilets.
I don't know why I chose this way to exist..(gulp)
'Cause I really know that I would not be missed.

HARRY, RON and HERMIONE
What we have here is a ghost with quite a temper.
Lest we placate her at once we cannot brew the Polyjuice!
It's true a ghost is not a human
But say that, she won't like you then
And we want to have a steady, ghostly truce!

MYRTLE
Don't be fooled that I am see-through
Like the finest shawl of gauze.
It's just I'm dead...(wail)...It really sucks.
But don't let my death revolt you
I'm still a young girl deluxe.
All my vital signs have vanished
And my substance has been banished
You'll be just like me when you all go and die!

HERMIONE
We don't hate you, Moaning Myrtle!

MYRTLE
But my screams your blood does curdle.
Everyone hates me...

HERMIONE
Oh, Myrtle, please don't...

MYRTLE
WAAAAAAHHHH!!!

MYRTLE dives down a toilet

HERMIONE
...Cry.

LOCKHART is explaining the cold, hard facts to HARRY and RON about his books.

LOCKHART
When I was younger, just a devious tot...
My mother noticed that I fibbed a lot.
I wrestled hippogriffs in fantasy
Stories I'd rip, so credit went to me!
Then to a conclusion my mom was led!
That's when she up and said...

HARRY AND RON
What did she say?

LOCKHART
She said, "Since you like telling lies
Then, in my eyes,
Only one job with deceit complies."

"You'll be an author!
You have a talent for lying like heck!
Son, be an author!
People will pay to read your useless dreck!

You're temperament's wrong for an Auror!
St. Mungo's would ask you to leave.
Son, be an author!
You're free to deceive!"

HARRY
You mean you never did any of that stuff?

RON
I knew it all along, you're a fraud!

HARRY
You're an author and you'll never ever tell stories right!

BOTH
Who lets their credit go to a silly sod?

LOCKHART
Well, they never incriminate
They don't do that with Obliviate!

I am an author!
And I feel fine with the lies that I tell!
I am an author!
And I'm afraid it keeps me living well...

I use all this creative diction
And yet pass my work off as hard nonfiction!

HARRY and RON (scandalized)
An Author?!

LOCKHART
And since my books are all lies to the core..
.
I hold all of my great fan club love dear.
However, I gotta get my ass out of here!
So...see ya!
'Cause I'm an author,
Not an Auror!

Werewolves?
All....
Vampires?
All....
The Ghouls?
All...Bullshit!

The Heir Enjoys Killing/The Unfair Heir of Slytherin

Sung to the tune of The Meek Shall Inherit and Mean Green Mother from Outer Space

TOM and HARRY are facing off. TOM explains the situation regarding his sudden malicious stance.

TOM
Harry Potter, so finally you arrive. This is an occasion, I've waited long.
Sit down. Have a seat, I am here to talk business. You thought it was Hagrid, I'll tell you you're wrong.

On the one hand Tom Riddle, so brave, model student. On the other Hagrid, who wrestled with Trolls.
Prepare to be shocked when you hear the real tale of how I conned the teachers mind, body and soul!

I'm telling you, boy, it was easy to do it. It's over, I'm sorry. This scheme you can't thwart.
I'm the darkest wizard who e'er went to this school. Tom Marvolo Riddle? I'm Lord Voldemort!

They say the Heir enjoys killing,
You know they have me so right.
For Slytherin I was willing
To put up a pureblood fight.

They say the Heir kills off Mudbloods.
Well, who do you think I killed?
It was the fault of that dumb Weasley girl,
She's so weak-willed!

HARRY
You are a monster!
I don't believe this!
You had no right to send so many kids to death.

TOM
I'm heir to Slytherin!
Nat'rally I'm devious!
You can't convince me I'm wrong,
So don't waste your breath!

HARRY
You hurt so many!
Why did you do it?
What you did to this school was just like sacrilege!

TOM
You're still being stupid.
Honesty, screw it!
I grew up in a bloody awful orphanage!

No! No!
There's only so much you can take!
No! No!
I do not think I made a mistake!
No! No!
I had no alternative, Harry Potter.
I wanted nothing more than to have them all slaughtered.
It was Myrtle that went first, my basilisk got her.
I killed off that Mudblood rotter!

HARRY
But why...pick...Ginny?
Tiny Ginny?
She was an innocent who wouldn't serve you right
As, say, L. Malfoy or Potions masters

TOM
Do you think they had the heart to that
Girl indict?

The HOUSE ELVES enter here.

HOUSE ELVES
They say the Heir enjoys killing,

TOM
I was of great import...

HOUSE ELVES
You know they have him so right.

HARRY
Lord Voldemort...

HOUSE ELVES
For Slytherin he was willing

TOM
I won't abort.

HOUSE ELVES
To put up a pureblood fight.

HARRY
Disaster you court!

TOM
For my li'l snake you'll be filling
You'll drop dead from his eye!
It was the fault of that dumb Weasley girl!
So to the Muggle and Wizarding world
So to the Muggle and Wizarding world
Say Good bye!

The music changes to the tune of Mean Green Mother from Outer Space.

HARRY (spoken)
You're not gonna get away with this, your kind never does!

TOM
Hahahahahaha!

HARRY
I don't care what it takes, only one of us gets out of here alive!

TOM
Well, I'm sorry, Potter.
You know, I've got your wand.
Be afraid, young Harry.
You're in the deep despond.

Don't you threaten me, boy!
You've got a lot of guts!
We're gonna see you die, now.
Here comes the basilisk, you putz!

The BASILISK slithers out of Slytherin's mouth.

Do you know what this creature is?
It's more than just some snake.
You can't fight it, you little fool! Run for your own sake!

You don't know who you're messing with!
Potter, have no doubt,
If you don't know who I am yet
You are about to find it out!

Get this straight!
I am the unfair heir of Slytherin
And I'm mad!

BASILISK
He's mad!

TOM
I am the unfair heir of Slytherin
A highly evil Hogwarts grad!
I am the unfair heir of Slytherin
You have no idea what a scrape you're in!
I'm an unfair heir
And I am mad!

Think you'll save your skin, kid?
I really think you'll die.
You're doomed to die so quickly
I think I'll heave a sigh.

FAWKES swoops in with the Sorting hat.

Are these the only weapons
Dumble sends his friend?
A crumpled up hat
And a bird nearing its end?

You don't know what you're messing with!
You can't screw me up!
You can't beat up my basilisk
On you he's gonna sup!

The mudbloods will fall to me
You see, Dumble will be missed.

You think I'm evil? In that I have pride!

You know, on your flesh my snake likes to dine
He comes courtesy of Slyth'rin bloodline.
You can keep on saying
"You know who"
I'm that person, it's bloody true!

And I'm mad!

BASILISK

It's OK, Ginny

To the tune of Suddenly Seymour

HARRY and GINNY are sitting in the chamber immediately following the situation with Riddle and the Basilisk.

GINNY (spoken) Oh, Harry, I'm so sorry! I never meant to cause any trouble! Please don't be angry.

HARRY (spoken) Ginny, it's alright. Everything's gonna be fine.

(sung)
Lift up your head.
Straighten out your red hair.
Here, snuggle close up,
Wipe those tears from your eyes.

Don't be afraid.
Riddle was beaten.
When I come around...
The bad guy just dies!

It's OK, Ginny,
I'm here to protect you.
You shouldn't be sorry.
You weren't that involved.

It's OK, Ginny,
The School won't reject you.
The Headmaster won't mind it
Now that it's solved.

GINNY
I can't believe you
Are treating me nicely!
My brothers hate me...
I'm made fun of.
My world was bland and you made it more spicy.
I gave you my mind, body and love!

HARRY
It's OK, Ginny,
I'm here to protect you.
That bad, wicked journal
Caused you despair.

It's OK, Ginny,
The school won't reject you
It wasn't your fault, girl...
You weren't aware.

GINNY
Tell me you at least want to be my friend
Tell me you won't hold this all against me.
I'll be loyal to the bitter end of life.
It's a spark of hope that you have here sent me!

BOTH It's OK, Ginny/Forgive me, Harry.
Nothing will harm you/me. (Nothing will harm me.)
It's OK, Ginny/Forgive me, Harry.
You'll/I'll be alright. (Yes...alright!)

HARRY
The light side keeps winning.
Darkness can disarm you.
But with good intentions...
With good intentions...
With good intentions...
With good intentions...

BOTH
But with good intentions,
Hope comes in sight!

Finale/Don't Read the Book

ARTHUR and MOLLY Weasley are hearing the story of how Ginny was enchanted.

DUMBLEDORE: Subsequent to Lucius Malfoy fighting you, he dropped this simple book in Ginny's cauldron. A book which bore a striking resemblance to the thoughts within the mind of Voldemort!

(sung) Subsequent to the fight with Lucius Malfoy
This book tried to catch your unsuspecting daughter
She began talking with the darkest of wizards
And got sweet-talked into writing him.

Now the book worked its evil design
Acting like to her it took a shine.
And Ginny proceeded to write....and write...
And begin what the book had in mind
A plan which was quite well refined...
To petrify, and wreak hell
And unnerve us all and destroy!

ARTHUR
Oh my, Ginny!

ARTHUR puts his hands on his daughter's shoulders and looks her straight in the eyes

Whether it is a newspaper clip
Which has talent at giving guilt trips
If it thinks for itself too much,
Don't read the book!

It may be quite an innocent thing
Like a novel which happens to sing
But if you cannot see its brain,
Don't read the book!

MOLLY
Enchanted by You-Know-Who!
Good God! Well, what could she do?
Well, what could she do?
Well, what could she do?
Well, what could she do?
Well, what could she do?

ALL
If you don't enjoy being controlled,
Don't take anything with strength untold.
If at where its mind is you can't look...
If it thinks for itself a lot,
Or if its pages just cannot spot...
If it's ordinary, but not....
Don't read the book!
Don't read the book!
