1. Something There
(Harry’s dreams about the Department of Mysteries are only getting stronger. His teachers are concerned.)
HARRY:
There’s something there
Within my reach
And it’s been preying on my thoughts
Like some huge leech.
And it’s so near
Just through that door.
I know there’s something there that wasn’t there before.
It’s something Voldy wants to take
That’s why he tried to murder Arthur with his snake.
He left him lying on the floor
To look for something there that that wasn’t there before.
New, ever growing stranger
All those dreams I have where Voldemort is me.
True, it could bring me danger
But I have to feed my curiosity!
DUMBLEDORE (AND MCGONAGALL IN PARENTHESES):
Well who can guess (Who has a clue?)
Who can explain (Well, who indeed?)
Just what is going on inside this young man’s brain? (It isn’t normal)
BOTH:
It’s something we cannot ignore.
There may be something there that wasn’t there before.
SNAPE:
I know there’s something there that wasn’t there before.
HARRY:
What is that something there that wasn’t there before?
2. Ruling Again (Human Again)
(Voldemort and the Death Eaters are excited about their impending rule of the world.)
VOLDEMORT:
I’ll be thrilling again
I’ll be killing again
With a fully armed wand in each hand.
When I’m ruling again
Oh, yes, ruling again
All the world will jump at my command.
Interlopin’ again
In the open again
As the conqueror of all the land…
And some liquid bits, too
When my dreams all come true”
I can’t wait to be ruling again!
DEATH EATERS:
When we’re ruling again
Oh, yes, ruling again
When we’re convicts and jailbirds no more
We’ll have parties galore
We’ll unseat Dumbledore
Finish what we began in Book Four!
We’ll wear black cloaks and masks
And if anyone asks
Whose society we’re working for
We’ll reply with smug snorts
And say, “Lord Voldemort’s!
Our support’s made him ruling again!”
FUDGE:
When he’s ruling again
Oh, yes, ruling again
When he’s running amok and at large
I’ll be cautious at first
But if worst comes to worst
I suppose I’ll show them who’s in charge.
From my Minister’s seat
I shall prop up my feet
And announce, it was all a mirage.
No, the Dark Lord’s not back!
Deaths were all caused by Black.
I’m no hack”he’s not ruling again.
DEATH EATERS:
So set his mark in the sky
Dust off your black hooded cloak
I can tell, I can feel
All our dreams become real
Any day now.
A lot of Mudbloods will die
A lot of Muggles will croak
If it all goes as planned
Our time may be at hand
Any day now.
Scope out some plots at the cemetery!
VOLDEMORT:
Everybody get ready for me!
ORDER OF THE PHOENIX:
All of our fears
These past fourteen years
Are coming to be!
DEATH EATERS:
When we’re ruling again
Oh yes, ruling again
When the boy retrieves that prophecy
We’ll be dueling again
We’re not fooling again
We’ll take over the whole Ministry.
We will blossom again
We’ll be awesome again
And we’ll cause ‘em to scream and to flee.
When we get out of jail
No more law our tail
When we’re all that we were
When these things do occur
Coming closer and closer and closer and closer
Closer and closer and…
We’ll be dancing again
We’ll be singing again
We’ll be flinging death spells everywhere.
When we’re ruling again
Oh yes, ruling again
In a world that no Mudbloods will share.
We’ll be smiling again
We’ll be grinning again
We’ll be sinning with nary a care.
VOLDEMORT:
Like the king of the hill
So much fresh blood to spill
When that Potter boy dies
When my star’s on the rise
And I’ll finally be ruling again!
3. St. Mungo’s Closed Ward (Maison des Lunes)
(I know this scene happened much earlier in the book, but I had to write a song about it, and it went so terribly well with this song. Maison des Lunes is one of those songs that was added to the Broadway musical. Anyway, this is the “Christmas In The Closed Ward” sequence, and imagine that Neville pronounces ‘Voldemort’ with the proper French pronunciation”‘Voldemore.’)
GILDEROY:
When a man like me, admired
So esteemed and so adored
Becomes forcefully retired
Neglected, ignored
It can make his spirits start to sink
And it makes a fellow start to think
About how much his days here stink
At St. Mungo’s closed ward.
HARRY:
There’s a woman here who’s barking
With her whole face full of fur.
There’s a man with crazy markings
In the cot next to her.
There’s some who just look blank and bored
And some who look like they’ve been gored
By Snorcacks, or stabbed with a sword
At St. Mungo’s closed ward.
RON:
Harry, look it’s Neville over there
Are his parents… whoa…
HARRY:
Ron shut up! And don’t stare!
LOCKHART:
Tell me, why am I here still?
Is it ‘cos I’m so famous?
It’s a dreadful place
Hardly any lace
Or frills…
NEVILLE:
No, their minds don’t work like they used to
They were damaged to the core
On the night that they refused to
Give in to Voldemort.
But even though they’ve both gone mad
I’m not ashamed of mum and dad
And that just makes it twice as sad
At St. Mungo’s closed ward.
4. Harry and Lord V (Beauty and the Beast)
DUMBLEDORE:
Tale as long as life
Five thick books to date
Mortal enemies
Wizards such as these
Terrible or great.
Just a little change
To a slight degree
Means complete control
Of the other’s soul.
Harry and Lord V.
Some ways so alike
Some ways not a bit
So much that they share
So much they don’t dare
Ever to admit.
Tale as long as life
Saga old as dirt.
Each man takes a turn
Both men have to learn
Both of them are hurt.
Certain as the call
Of the augurey
Tale as long as life
Struggle old as strife
Harry and Lord V.
Tale as long as life
Struggle old as strife
Harry and Lord V.
5. The Mob Song
(Harry has his dream about Sirius in the Department of Mysteries, and he and his friends set off to find him.)
HARRY: Pretty soon, he may be dead
He won’t last it through the night
If we don’t come to the rescue
And go join him in the fight.
If we don’t get there in time
Then he’ll be ancient history
So it’s time to take some action and it’s time to follow me.
Through the door, cross the grounds
Through the dark, forbidden forest
Leading Umbridge ever deeper still inside.
Let’s hope Grawp’s power stops
Her from finding there’s no weapon
Or she’s realize far too quickly that we lied.
Hey, it’s centaurs, they’re coming to greet her
And by ‘greet,’ I mean more like ‘attack.’
See them charge, see her scream
Now let’s work as a team--
He’s not dead
Not yet dead
We’ll rescue Black.
ALL:
Light your wand, mount your horse
HERMIONE:
Even though they are invisible.
RON:
We’re counting on you, mate, to lead the way.
ALL:
Through the mist, through the wood
Flying farther from the castle
Hoping we’ll arrive before the break of day.
HARRY:
He’s been tortured and beaten and broken
We won’t rest ‘till he’s come safely back.
Now descend, time to land
Grab your wand!
RON:
Grab my hand!
HERMIONE:
Beyond what I understand …
I don’t like what I see
All these rooms are strange and eerie.
RON:
And it’s plain whoever built this place was whack.
Hey, it’s brains!
Harry, see?
HERMIONE:
Ron, don’t touch those.
RON:
Agh, help me!
HERMIONE:
This is scary…
HARRY:
I agree.
Let’s rescue Black!
ALL:
Here we go through the door
And we’re in the Hall of Prophecies
All lined up in tidy rows upon a rack.
HARRY:
Raise your wand
Come along
We’re in danger, but be strong
I know my dreams are never wrong.
We’ll rescue Black!
ALL:
Rescue Black!
Rescue Black?
HERMIONE:
Where is Black?
6. The Battle
Harry looks around. Sirius is nowhere to be seen in the Hall of Prophecies, and something is clearly not right.
RON:
This place gives me the creeps.
HARRY:
Shh!
RON:
Well, it does.
HERMIONE:
Shut up.
NEVILLE:
I want to go home…
(Suddenly, Death Eaters appear out of nowhere)
DEATH EATERS:
Boo!
D.A. MEMBERS:
Eeek!
DEATH EATERS:
Arrrgh!
D.A. MEMBERS:
No!
BELLATRIX:
Charge!
DEATH EATERS:
Yeeeeeah!
(Huge madcap battle scene full of screams and war whoops, playing to disconcertingly cheerful instrumental music.)
BELLATRIX:
EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE! (Stops suddenly and looks at Neville for a second)
You know, you’re kind of cute. Shoots a curse at him
NEVILLE:
Aaaagh!
Back over in Voldemort-land, Wormtail alerts his master as to what exactly is going on.
WORMTAIL:
Pardon me, master…
VOLDEMORT:
Leave me at peace.
WORMTAIL:
But the boy is in the Ministry of Magic! He’s going to get the prophecy!
VOLDEMORT:
That doesn’t matter-- let him come. It’s all part of my plan. I’ll be there… momentarily.
WORMTAIL:
Yes, sir!
(Back in the Ministry, the Order of the Phoenix has appeared to help Harry and his friends, and the madcap fighting music continues as they take on Death Eaters individually. The Prophecy smashes and Harry tries to pull Neville up the stairs.)
BELLATRIX: (Running up to Sirius)
You look like you could use a good kick in the pants.
SIRIUS: (Aiming a spell back at her)
Ha, no chance! Here you go!
BELLATRIX: (Aiming for Sirius)
Take that, you blood traitor scum!
SIRIUS:
Ha, you can do better than that!
BELLATRIX:
AVADA KEDAVRAAAAAAAAAA!
(The spell hits Sirius and he falls through the veil).
HARRY:
Aaaaaaagh!
7. If I Can’t Save Him
Sirius has fallen through the veil and Harry has finally realized that he really is gone and is not coming back. I pushed this song two songs later than it is in the real show for full impact.
HARRY:
No risk could be higher
No crisis as dire.
No point anymore
If I can’t save him.
No hope for tomorrow
No feeling but sorrow
I don’t even care
If they all see me cry.
Since I know that I
Brought him here to die…
And I never said goodbye.
8. The Beginning (End Duet/Transformation/Beauty and the Beast Reprise)
(Back at Hogwarts, Harry is still depressed about losing Sirius and doesn’t know what to do with himself. This is the finale of the Broadway production of Beauty and the Beast.)
NEARLY-HEADLESS NICK:
He’s gone home
He is where he will be forever.
He’s no ghost
Harry, he’s really gone away.
He”
HARRY:
Don’t say
That he did what he had to
Paid what he had to pay.
He never had to fight or
Go to the Ministry.
He left home
Left his home
To help me.
(Harry goes to Dumbledore’s office and starts screaming and throwing things around, then finally calms down a bit.)
HARRY:
Why won’t you meet my eyes?
Sir, do you recognize
A glimpse of Voldemort deep down inside me?
DUMBLEDORE:
And so it’s begun now
Two minds become one now.
I’ve theorized, of course
And now I know it’s true.
I’ll tell you…
Harry, it is time
Time for me to say
What I always feared
Saying all these years
Up until today.
Tale as long as life
Struggle old as strife
Harry and Lord V.
9. A Change In Me
(This song is one of Belle’s big numbers in the Broadway production of Beauty and the Beast, but was added to the show after it opened, so it is not on the original cast recording.)
HARRY:
There’s been a change in me
A kind of moving on
I know the prophecy
Although it’s smashed and gone.
And now I understand
And now I realize
It may not make me glad
But maybe I’ve grown wise.
And I…I know it started as a tie
And Neville could have been the guy
Who would be making history.
It could have been…
But he chose me.
And in my dark despair
Somehow I understood
Just yelling, ‘That’s no fair!’
Can never do much good.
So no more tantrums and
No cursing fate allowed.
Instead, I’ll try to stand
And make my parents proud.
And I know one of us is going to die.
I might not win, but I will try
My view was dim, but now I see
No other choice, a change in me.
A changing world, a change in me.
