NARRATOR: Rent is defined as: 1) A regular payment by a tenant to a landlord for use of some property, or 2) A breach of relations between persons or groups; a rift, a schism. It is a title very appropriate for this story, set in Hogwarts, when Voldemort is starting to come back to power and no one is safe from danger or suspicion. Friends, families, Hogwarts houses, and lovers are all being rent apart in the fear and confusion of this trying age. Everyone knows that their loved ones could appear in the obituaries at any time. The question is, do they give up all hope and be miserable, or rally and enjoy what time they have? Through this story, the characters begin to learn that life itself is something we only rent.

Draco has been ordered to kill Dumbledore. Both are reluctant.

Author's Note: It was "RENT" or "grim" and I went with quality rather than originality. Besides, the whole point is matching HBP to RENT.
Spinner's End
To the tune of Santa Fe
Scene begins next to a misty and filthy river. Narcissa Malfoy appears, followed by Bellatrix Lestrange. Narcissa begins to run away. Bellatrix runs after her. Music does not start yet.

Persuading Slughorn
To the tune of You'll See, Boys
I know I gave Harry a lot of lines that were Dumbledore's in the book, but it works out better for the song this way. I also cut out the talking in the middle, from "convincing Maureen to cancel her
protest" to "you can't watch It's A Wonderful Life on TV"

HARRY
SLUGHORN [Mumbles]
Dumbledore comes back into room
DUMBLEDORE
Think Horace…
Just think, the safety of Hogwarts

Dumbledore sighs
I guess we'll go.
Song ends. Harry and Dumbledore start to leave.
SLUGHORN
WAIT! I'll do it.

Dumbledore chuckles and leaves with Harry
Say You'll Love Me

Scene begins with Fleur and Bill talking alone in the Burrow's backyard. Fleur is upset because the Weasleys hate her (and she hates them in return). Bill tries to comfort her.

To the tune of La Vie Boheme
I am starting from "Dearly beloved" rather than "Who died?" Hope this makes sense.
Scene starts in Honeydukes. A lot of students, including Neville and Luna are there. Harry, Ron, and Hermione are talking. Draco Malfoy walks in and soon gets involved in a insult
fest with Harry. Finally Draco makes a snide comment on how the old ways of Hogwarts are dying, and finally leaves. It is very quiet for a moment. Music starts.

The Tango: Weasley
To the tune of The Tango: Maureen
Hermione and Lavender Brown are partners in Herbology. They are taking care of a strange plant - trimming, weeding, spraying, and fertilizing. Lavender is inwardly upset; she
senses she is losing Ron. Hermione is smug because of this. For a while there is awkward silence. Then Lavender begins to make small talk.

Class goes back to normal and everyone sits down. Hermione and Lavender don't speak to each other again, but Hermione is more smug.
Out Tonight
To the tune of Out Tonight
As for all the howling on the “out tonight” parts, you'll just have to imagine it yourself.
Harry and Luna Lovegood are walking down the hallway when Harry suddenly invites her to Slughorn's Christmas party at eight. Luna is ecstatic and says she'll go. After Harry leaves
she goes to her empty dorm room to prepare and imagine…
LUNA
I'm waiting anxiously for that chime
Luna thinks of all the cruel, jealous girls
They're gonna freak, when they see the meek
I don't need any popularity
So I'll go…
Out tonight!
She starts to get ready
When the girls all glare at me
Let's go!
I wanna prowl, I'm a
Luna begins to walk downstairs, reflecting
In the evenings, I've had to stray
Looks up from her morbid reveries, set and determined
But I won't roam tonight
Luna gets to the top of the stairs
I'm going!
Out tonight! Oh yeah!
Luna sees the crowd of angry girls and walks on by down the stairs without paying attention. She sees Harry and gives her usual dreamy smile.
What a treat to have so sweet
Luna's at the bottom of the stairs, walking towards Harry
He's takin' me
Luna greets Harry and heads to the party

Scene starts in the hospital wing. Fleur and Molly sit next to Bill's bed, staring at his mangled face. Molly is crying and talking while dabbing ointment on Bill's wounds.
MOLLY
FLEUR [Suddenly and loudly]
Fleur draws herself up to her full height, throws back her hair
It would take more zan a werewolf to stop Bill loving me!
MOLLY [Taken back]
FLEUR
Fleur's nostrils flaring, eyes blazing with fury
What do I care how he looks? I am good-looking enough for both of us, I theenk!
All these scar show is zat my husband is brave! And I shall do zat!
Fleur shoves Molly out of the way, grabs ointment, and dabs at his wounds herself. She begins to talk to him softly. Music starts here.
Don't worry Bill
Be my husband

Say that you love me
For life… all my life!

To the tune of Without You
Scene begins before Dumbledore's funeral. Harry is thinking about everything Dumbledore has meant to him and the school. Ginny listens nearby, silently.
This is a song of mourning.

The scene begins with Harry telling Ginny he has to go on alone without her because otherwise she'll be in danger. He regrets he didn't notice
Ginny before and spend more time with her, because now he has to put all his time and energy into killing Voldemort. But he wants to say goodbye.
HARRY
One kiss, one memory
Passion

Time flies, time dies!
Passion! One blaze of passion!
Oh, one kiss
Find, one kiss, a last kiss for me,
Passion, a one kiss,
Time flies! Oh there's no time together anymore!
I'm Staying/Just Wait Another Day
To the tune of Another Day
Remember, by “another day” Harry is using poetic license. They know full well it'll be longer than that.
Scene begins after “One Kiss.” Ginny is mad at Harry for dumping her to keep her safe. She loves him and wants to stay together, because after all, who knows if Harry will survive to
come back to her? But Harry insists on not putting her in danger.
GINNY

Harry turns and walks away miserably towards Ron and Hermione.
Finale
To the tune of Finale B
Not as original as it could be, but I desperately wanted to keep true to the real feeling of the song.
Harry is out on the grounds. He has just broken up with Ginny and is preparing to go on alone. But Hermione and Ron insist upon going with him. Harry finally accepts this, and they
sing together the final song in this tale.

How do I tell apart real life
When real life's sounding more
Each day like a lie?
Bein' bored, Dark Lord
Blow my gourd
And now this order,
“Kill Albus or die!”
How do I kill the Dark Lord?
I feel I'm headed toward
A certain point, I'm on the brink!
I sure feel like
A big weak link!
Some life that I've chosen!
I'm not gonna kill…
I'm not gonna kill…
I'm not gonna kill
VOL-DE-MORT!/DUM-BLE-DORE!
How do you kill a teacher
When you're only a kid
And all you were was acting tough?
How can you answer a call
When the order is tall?
Will your best be enough?
Man, I can't do it!
I won't go through with it!
I'm not gonna kill…
I'm not gonna kill…
I'm not gonna kill
VOLDEMORT!/DUMBLEDORE!
How can I save my son
When my husband's shunned?
Well I can't run
But I can get Snape!
Maybe he'll help me
Save my son he
Just might agree
To take his place!
Where is he?
Getting busy…
I'm not gonna kill…
I'm not gonna kill…
I'm not gonna kill
VOLDEMORT!/DUMBLEDORE!
Some are going so far as to call me “The Chosen One!”
The Dark Lord is mad at father, he's taking it out on me!
I notice they leave their faithless past out!
My god, will Dumbledore first kill me?
When it keeps finding its way back to your heart?
It reaches way down deep inside
And tears you inside out
Till you're torn apart!
How do you confide in an age when strangers, students, wizards,
Your own families betray?
When the raging, shifting winds of change
Keep ripping away?
Draw a line in the sand and then make a stand!
Use a girlfriend to spar!
Drown him in tar!
When they act tough you call their bluff!
I'm not gonna kill…
I'm not gonna kill…
I'm not gonna kill
VOLDEMORT!
DUMBLEDORE!
VOLDEMORT!
No, no, no, no, no!
I'm not gonna kill him!
Cissy - Narcissa - wait!
Go back, Bella! I've made my decision. Leave me alone!
Why are you doing this?
Lucius Malfoy
Uh-huh?
Captured by the Aurors
Come on Cissy…
Times are hard, and I was pretty sure they couldn't get any worse.
Well, it's a comfort to know
When you're singing the desperation blues
That anywhere else you could possibly go
After Spinner's End would be…
A pleasure cruise.
Well I'm wary of the Dark Lord's anger
But I'm sick of family jailed, that I know
I can't stand doing nothing, I won't languor
And I think I have a solution, so let's go
Help at Spinner's End would suffice
I'm going to get help from Snape on Spinner's End
BELLATRIX [Mutters]
If you're not eaten by vermin not nice.
Whoa-oa-oa-oa-oa whoa-oa-oa-oa
Whoa-oa-oa-oa-oa-oa
Stop it!
No, I won't.
You're coming back home with me
I'm going, you can come with me-
Oh Cissy!
No Cissy.
You don't trust him, I know
But the Dark Lord does, so
How can you be so doubtful, oh Bellatrix?
I believe the Dark Lord
Is mistaken
I've explored
That possibility but Bellatrix
Don't you see?
Snape, I know, can change the Dark Lord's mind
Change his mind?
I'm going to get help from Snape on Spinner's End
To have our hands together entwined
Hands entwined?
I'll make with Snape a promise to save
My son Draco
I'll make with him an Unbreakable Vow
I'll get some help, I'll get some help on Spinner's End
My son's demise I will not allow
No, no no no no!
No no no no!
I will find a friend
On Spinner's End
Dirty street…
Filled with Muggles…
Yeah.
What happened to Horace?
What happened to his heart?
And the ideals he once pursued?
An old man like me, Dumbledore
Has a right to re-ti-re, to avoid doom!
I have to go to the bathroom.
Harry-
You look like you dad-
But you have-
Have my mother's eyes - I realized.
Y'know, I knew her from my days of old!
Her prowess in the class could only grow
That Lily!
State-of-the-art security magic, and Dumbledore too
You wouldn't have to move so much, and I'm sure you would agree
You'd be safe there, more free
A great guarantee, wouldn't you say?
Well, I guess…
You want to rest and relax?
You need somewhere to do it!
Hogwarts is the perfect place to stay
Think first before you decline it!
Think Horace…
A place you can teach and get paid!
The lessons that you'll teach
Just join Hogwarts, and you'll have it made!
Just think…
Excellent!
Don't worry Fleur
They're not what matters
They'll come around, just give them some time
Treat them kindly
And they'll love you too
Are you so sure?
Did you hear Ginny?
Calling me Phlegm with no care she's so mean!
But she's not the one you'll be marrying
Keep in mind that I love you!
Say that you love me
That you'll always stand by me
That you're never above me
When I cry that you'll hold me
Just hold my hand
I will protect you
Whatever, wherever,
I won't let go
I'll stick by you,
No matter what, Bill
I won't leave your side, never
Through rain and through snow
Say that you love me
That you'll always stand by me
That you're never above me
When I cry that you'll hold me
You'll see, they'll soon warm up to you…
Through sickness and hell…
I love you. They'll warm up to you, Fleur
Though darkness and fell!
I love you…
Though your family still hates me
I won't leave your side, never…
I'll love you
Through the bad times and good times
A love no one can sever!
I'll never
Stop loving you
No, no, no, no, no!
Oh, Fleur/Bill
I lo-ove you….
Dearly beloved, we gather here to say our goodbyes...
The once-great castle that was once a source
Of magic, and we celebrate the force
In this little town of Hogsmeade
We raise our rum
You bet your mum to...
La Vie... Hogwarts!
La vie Hogwarts

Playing hookey, making water into rum

To fighting against the dark, fanning a spark
In Hogwarts

Hating detention, new comprehension
Not to mention, of course
Hating dear old Voldemort!

Ahem.
Hey mister - she's my sister.
So that's five Jelly Slugs, four cockroach clusters, twelve bags acid pops, twenty Cauldron Cakes and one Drooble's Best Blowing Gum...!

Acid Pops?
And thirteen Licorice Wands! Is that it here?

To Weasley's Wheezes!
To reading books
To having great good looks
To flying sports!
La vie Hogwarts!
In honor of the death of Hogwarts as we know it, an impromptu performance will start after dinner in the Great Hall. Ginny Weasley, famous for the Bat Bogey hex, will see how many
charms she can do on a Slytherin before they explode.
And Hermione Granger will demonstrate just exactly what can go wrong with a love potion when two yaks and a camera get into the picture.
Luna Lovegood, clad only old issues of The Quibbler will give a speech on the dangers of Crumple-Horned Snorkacks while playing the sitar.
And Neville will show us his really cool Mimbulus Mimbletonia.
Thanks, Luna.
Harry Potter will tell his tales of fighting the Dark Lord as it broadcasts to the world:
Err… c'mon, Ginny, let's go back to the common room…
You go! I want a word with my dear brother!
I walk through the school
I hear students say, “Ginny's so cool!”
No one else treats me
Like I'm their ba-aby!
Harry, Krum, they're all snogging too, Ron!
Leave out Ronald, I'm not a baby!
Leave out and let me be!
And if you give a damn
Take me brother, or leave me!
So don't you shout at me!
I'm tired of listening to you drone-
Brother, look at me!
Was over your eggnog
With a family member doesn't mean
You can be rude, Ronald don't brood
Crying, “Oh Auntie Muriel, are you still my, my, my baby?”
Shut your mouth!
Take me for what I am
Leave out and let me be!
And if you give a damn
Take me brother, or leave me!
Hey bro, I've seen you with Phlegm!
Don't deny it, trying to get her
To kiss your cheek, you fancy that dumb Fleur!
STOP!
You fancy that Fleu-ur…
[Questioningly] Over Auntie?
Shut your mouth!
Do my snogging in public
Doesn't mean I'm not do-o-ing it!
Oh I see!
Has Pigwidgeon lately been kissed?
Oh that's rude, and I mu-ust insist
You let Aunt Muriel down easy!
C'mon guys, let's not despise…
You got a problem, you don't compromise!
You guys gotta calm down!
Take me for what I am!
A control freak.
Who I was meant to be!
Repressed yet overattentive.
And if you give a damn
A prat and a droll geek!
Take me Ginny, or leave me!
Gives murder an easy incentive!
THAT'S IT!
The straw that break my back!
I quit!
Unless you take it back!
Siblings, what is it about them?
Can't live with them or without them!
Take me for what I am
Leave off and let me be!
And if you give a damn
And if you give a damn then
Take me Ginny, or leave me
Take me brother, take me or LEAVE ME!
Take me brother/sister… or leave me!
Guess I'm leaving.
I'm gone!
Will I have the bravery?
Will my soul tear?
Will I wake tomorrow
From this nightmare?
Will I lose my family?
Will they be there?
Will I wake tomorrow
From this nightmare?
Will I lose my dignity?
Will he fight fair?
Will I wake tomorrow
From this nightmare?
Will my friends care?
Will I wake tomorrow
From this nightmare?
Will I lose my teaching post? [Hic]
Will my students care?
Will I wake tomorrow
From this nightmare?
The bug spray won't delay, but these damn weeds-
There's another way. Say a spell; a weeding spell.
Plantus Weedus?
I'm working with a prep…
This is awful!
It's awful.
It's a nightmare!
What a nightmare!
I'm so mad that I don't know what to do!
Fighting with magic weeds,
Ron has fooled me indeed, a
And to top it all off I'm with you!
Does his kiss leave you bored?
Do you feel all ignored? Are his excuses, at best, meas-a-ly?
Well, I suppose in a way-
Don't let him lead you astray-
It's called the Tango: Weasley!
It's a cold, solemn procession march…
As he keeps you waiting…
YOU'RE WRONG!
Your face he is hating!
It's different, with me!
As he dodges your eyes, you will get a surprise, as you realize his lies are LOUSY.
I guess he played me easy…
The Tango: Weasley!
Has he ever wiggled away
And said to you, “Gotta go?”
Well…
Did you never doubt an excuse or two?
Well I… well, no.
Not a pinch - he's a dumb git!
Not even for that last Quidditch match?
Not a chance!
So you say - [Mutter] twit.
Where'd you learn to Tango?
With Seamus Finnagin at the Yule Ball. And you?
With Tomas Goodnik in my kindergarten art class.
He deceived me!
He lied.
I believed him!
You tried!
I've been rejected; I should dump him right now!
But I can't turn away,
I'm still trapped in his sway
I'd come back to that jerk anyhow!
When you're dancing his dance
You don't stand a chance
His casual glance makes you bawl!
But you think, might as well…
…Dance a tango to hell!
At least I'll have tangoed at all!
The Tango: Weasley!
Gotta dance till he gives up on you!
You try hard to forgive him…
But it's so hard to believe him!
And he'll be so relieved
As you grieve and you heave
On your sleeve-
Why won't he stop teasing me?
His attempts are measly…
My Won-won!
The Tango: Weasley!
What's the time?
Well it's gotta be close to eight o'clock!
I've been invited to
A party that draws near!
When the Hogwarts clock will ring!
I'm gonna wear my spangled dress, and mess
With the girls here!
Loony Lovegood
Stri-i-i-i-ike back!
I feel no guilt pang that
He didn't get Chang
'Cause this geek'll dance with the pa-a-a-a-ack now!
Harry invited me for free!
He said, “I can bring a guest, would you
Come in with me-e-e?”
I'm gonna go
Out tonight!
He'll be my friend and in the end
I know that that's all we'll ever be!
But I'll be out tonight!
Oh yeah!
I realize how lucky I am!
But I don't care if they all stare!
I really don't give a da-a-amn!
Out tonight!
I want to go
Out tonight!
Night owl
I'm going to a party
Out…
OUT tonight!
Can't sleep in a dorm room where bullies all stay
On my feelings they prey
Regardless of my cri-i-i-i-ies!
Tonight I'll be safe from they're spi-i-i-ite!
Tonight all the scars from the insults and tricks will
DIE!
I'm gonna go
Out tonight!
A friend to invite me to a gathering!
To take me
OUT tonight!
Out tonight!
Won't forsake me - out tonight!
He's gonna take me - out tonight!
Tonight - tonight - TONIGHT!

How do you measure
A life on the edge?
Measure in love.
Measure in love. Measure love.
Seasons of love. Seasons of love.
I should warn you, I've been Chosen
My life's a mess, you'd be in danger-
Harry don't drive me away, now
Please don't try to be a stranger
I should tell you
I should tell you
I should tell you
I should tell-
I should tell I've loved you since first year
I never really quit
I came to my senses shortly
Your boyfriends' throats I wished to slit
I should tell you
I should tell you
I should tell you
I should tell you…
Now we - oh no
I know - this something is, here goes-
Here goes
Guess so, it's starting to-
Who knows
Who knows?
Who knows where?
Who goes there?
Who knows?
Here goes!
After so long
World's ripping apart
But we'll stay strong!
Sticking together, the future brings
Unknown advances and other things
So here we go
Now we-
Oh no
I know
Oh no
Who knows where
Who goes there?
Here goes...
Here goes...
Here goes...
Here goes...
Here goes...
Here goes...
Of course, it doesn't matter how he looks… it's not r-really important… but he was a very handsome little boy… always very handsome…and he was g-going to be married.
And what do you mean by zat?
What do you mean, ''e was going to be married?
You theenk Bill will not wish to marry me anymore?
You theenk, because of these bites, he will not love me?
Because 'e will!
Well, yes, I'm sure - but I thought perhaps - given how - how he -
You thought I would not weesh to marry him? Or per'aps, you hoped?
I'll stay by your side
No matter what
I'll never leave you
I'll never stop loving you
I won't let go, Bill
No matter how much
Your family may hate me
It's not them that I'm marrying
I love you, and I'll never stop!
That you'll always stand by me
That you're never above me
When I cry that you'll hold me
Oh, I will always stand by you! I love you.
Though through sickness and hell
I won't leave your side, never… I love you
Through darkness and fell
Through the bad times and good times
I'll never
Though your face may be scarred now
Leave your side for a moment
I love you
To stay with you, Bill, I vow!
I'll never
Stop loving you
No, no, no, no, no!
Oh, husband
I'll stay by you…
Six hundred fifty-two pages
In thirty chapters
Six hundred fifty-two pages
Seasoned with… love!
I will always love you!
Without you
The squid swims
The tears fall
The plants grow
The mandrakes root
The flowers bloom
The Seeker plays
And Luna dreams
The Thestrals fly
Without you.
As do the staff
But I die
Without you
The air cools
The girls smile
The Dark Lord moves
The times change
The minister leads
The Prophet lies
The crowds roar
The days soar
The phoenix cries
Without you
The Dark Lord kills
But I die
Without you
The old life's through
The days of true
Learning too
Goodbye to
Life we knew…
The bars close
The walls fall
The Muggles die.
Without you
The Order lives
The kids stay
The music plays
The sky dims
The hope dies
The hope dies!
The school cries
The school cries!
The tears dry
Without you
But you're gone
But I'll try
Without you
Without you
Without you
Without you
One kiss, Ginny
One kiss, before I go
Passion, one kiss to leave behind.
One kiss, for the pretty boy
Chosen One
Who wasted opportunity!
He had a girl at his feet
Passion
But his eyes didn't see her…
See her…
Passion, beyond a cheap love potion
One kiss, before the sun sets
Passion, before I start my hard journey
One blaze of passion!
Passion!
A kiss that rings true
Love like a blazing fire
An eternal flame!
Passion, for the soul of a young man…
A broken man…
Before the Dark Lord takes hold
One kiss, like a sunset
One kiss, to remember what might be!
Time dies…!
Who do you think you are?
Has your head been hurting from that scar?
Little boy hey
I'm staying
No way!
You know the Dark Lord
Kills anyone in his way
Take your red hair
If this was your death - I just can't handle
The thought of your dying Ginny
By my hands - goodbye, goodnight!
Now the time's gone, I wish - no!
Another place
When Voldemort is dead
My loathsome task erased
I could at last move on
And then would come the day
We wouldn't need to hide
Just wait another day
Another day!
The Dark Lord knows
About your friends
So why not me
I am above them?
Erase the past
I live this moment as
My last!
There's only this
Forget regret,
Or life is yours to miss!
It's not your fault
They chose their way
No day but today!
But Ginny
It is my fault
If no one protects me, tell me
Will the deaths not halt?
Take your fancy prayer
Don't forget-
Get the sunlight out of your hair!
Maybe once I might've brought you with me
But my friends are dead, and you're the closest to me!
In the future
You'd be out of danger
And this I'd much prefer
I don't want you to die
It's so safer this way
All that you have to do
Is wait another day
Another day!
There's only us
Only today
We must trust love
To lead the true way
I'm no one's prey
No day but today!
Control your emotions!
My beating heart…
Ginny, don't start
I trust my soul
My only goal
I love you too but
Is just to start!
We have to stay apart!
There's only now
There's only here
I trust in love
Let Voldemort try me!
Who do you think you are
To go up against
The Dark Lord from afar
Little girl hey, the door is that way…
No other road
I won't be prey
No day but today!
Ginny you have to stay
No day but today!
It's not the love its
All the danger
No day but today…
Take your brown eyes your pretty smile your flaming hair
No day but today…
Another time, another place
When you are safe we can embrace
No day but today.
Another day, another time
Another way…
No day but today.
Uncertain future
Forgotten past
Who knows how long this day will last?
There's only us
Only today
We must trust love
To lead the true way
We're no one's prey
No day but today!
I can't control
My beating heart
I trust my soul
My only goal
Is just to start
Will I lose my family
Will my soul tear
Will I wake tomorrow
From this nightmare?
Without you
The papers lie
The Order lives
The pheonix cries
Life goes on
But I'm gone
There's only now
There's only here
He knows not love
He knows only fear
No other choice
No other way
But I'll try
Without you
I'll try without you
I'll try without you
I'll try without you
I'll try without you
I'll try without you
No day but today!
No day but today
No day but today
No day but today
No day but today
No day but today
No day but today!
