It's finished.

"Hogwarts Story," my Order of the Phoenix version of "West Side Story" is
finally finished!  <doing happy dance>

This post contains two songs - "It's All My Fault/I Must Confess" and two
versions of the "Finale" - the one you'd expect, and a slashy one (I prefer
the slashy one, myself, and if you want to know which is the "real" finale,
that's the one).

If you are interested in reading/singing the entire "Hogwarts Story"
musical in order from start to finish, you can do so thanks to the awesome
work of Caius Marcus, who has added a "Hogwarts Story" page to his "Harry
Potter Filks" site. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU CMC!

So, without further eloquence, here are my final two "Hogwarts Story"
offerings:


"He Isn't Dead/I Must Confess"
An OoP "Hogwarts Story" filk to "A Boy Like That/I Have a Love" from the
movie "West Side Story."

(Scene: HARRY and DUMBLEDORE are in the Headmaster's office at Hogwarts,
after returning from the battle at the Ministry of Magic).

HARRY (angrily):

It's all my fault.
I let them trick me.
Hermione, she tried to stop me.
If I'd have stayed here, he'd be alive!

I saw him there, believed my visions. 
But that was such a bad decision.
If I'd have stayed here, he'd be alive!

I saw his face, such surprise,
But there was life in his eyes.
Then he fell through - one moment there,
The next he's gone - - 
It's so wrong, Headmaster, just so wrong!

It's all my fault, my mind is reeling.
And no one else knows what I'm feeling.
I cannot bear this, can't stand the pain!
I've had enough! I want to end it!
I've had enough . . . 

DUMBLEDORE:

I'm sorry, Harry, no - 
Oh, Harry, no.

You must not blame yourself for this.
The blame's on me, all of it.
And now I'll say what should have been said years ago . . .
There's so much that, Harry, you don't know.
You don't know!

I should have told you.
I see that now. Made a mistake.
I should have told you. 

I must confess, I must tell you the truth,
Though you'll hate me after I do.
Before you were born,
A prophecy was sworn.
Yes, it's true.
I must confess, didn't want you to know
That the boy she spoke of was you.
You're special. That scar,
It makes you what you are.
You're the one with the power,
The power to vanquish the Dark Lord.
For you possess a power
The Dark Lord knows not!, 

HARRY:
It all falls to me.
So that's the prophecy.
It's his life or mine!

"Finale" to "Hogwarts Story"
An OoP filk to "Finale" from the stage production of "West Side Story."


FINALE #1
(Scene: HARRY sits at his desk in his room at Privet Drive, the shards of
Sirius' mirror layed out in front of him. He holds the mirror frame in his
hands).

HARRY:
Those we love are not really gone;
We will join them when this life's done.
Someday . . . 
Beyond the Veil . . . 

(HARRY'S voice trails off, and he puts down the mirror frame, and puts his
head in his hands)

**OR**

FINALE #2
(Scene: REMUS LUPIN is in the parlour at 12 Grimmauld Place. The room is
dimly lit by only a few candles. Remus sits in a chair near the fireplace
in which no fire is burning. He holds in his hands a mirror nearly
identical to the one Sirius gave Harry, except that this one is still
intact). 

REMUS:
Those we love are not really gone;
We will join them when this life's done.
Someday . . . 
Beyond the Veil . . . 

(REMUS stops singing, and raises his head to look imploringly upward. Tears
stream down his face. With a sudden movement, he hurls the mirror into the
fireplace, where it shatters. REMUS takes a ragged breath, and then
collapses backwards into the chair, puts his face in his hands, and begins
to sob).
