Grindeldore the Musical Part I - Let's start a scandal
Title: Start a Scandal - a musical parody
Author/Artist: stella8h8chang
Rating: PG-13 if you like to read into things
Pairing or Character(s): AD/GG
Disclaimer: Parodies are protected under Australian law, but I'll just make myself clear: I own neither Harry Potter nor Rent. Vive la JKR! And in memory of JL.
Author's Note: Inspired by this thread I decided to combine two of my obsessions: Harry Potter and musical theatre. You could classify this as a bit of a crossover I guess! It's a duet between our two stars. Also I have put random notes/actions in throughout. Any more suggestions for interaction that will fit the song are welcome! (I also did this as a bit of procrastination so don't expect a masterpiece - that and I need to ease my way back into fanficcing since I haven't done any since I was fourteen - that was a long time ago)
Edit: If you haven't seen Rent before, here is a clip to ease you into the context: http://youtube.com/watch?v=5wYAQRzJS6w
(There is a knock on the door - we heard in Book 6 that wizards generally give each other the chance to refuse entry yes?)
(Albus)
...Yes?
(Gellert)
You free tonight?
(Albus)
I know you? -- You're -- You're quivering
(Gellert)
It's nothing, not used to this heat
So I'm just a little weak on my feet
Would you read this ramble?
What are you staring at?
(Albus)
Nothing...Your hair in the moonlight
You look familiar...Can you make it?
(Gellert)
Just haven't eaten much today
At least the room stopped spinning. Anyway.
What?
(Albus)
Nothing, your smile reminded me of -
(Gellert)
I always remind people of - who is he?
(Albus)
He’s in a book by Oscar Wilde...his name is Dorian...
(Gellert)
We digress again!
Don’t you comprehend?
Won’t you read this ramble...?
(He waves the piece of parchment in Albus’s face)
(Albus)
Well -
(Gellert)
Yeah. Ow!
(Albus)
Oh, I’m so sorry, I just
(Gellert)
Stepped...on my...
(Albus)
Shoe. I figured...
Oh, well. Goodnight.
(Gellert goes out, leaving the parchment with Albus (who skims it) before turning around and knocking again)
Can’t I get back to you tomorrow?
(Gellert)
No - I think that I dropped my wand
(Albus)
I know I've seen you out and about
When I used to go out
Without a doubt...
(Gellert)
I don’t believe it!
I had it when I walked in the door
I’m sure!
Is it on the floor?
(Albus)
The floor?
(Gellert)
They said that I had the best ass on the Durmstrang ship
Is it true?
(Albus)
What?
(Gellert)
You're staring again.
(Albus)
Oh no.
I mean you do -- have a nice --
I mean -- You look familiar
(Gellert)
Like your dream boy friend?
(Albus)
Only when you smile.
But I'm sure I've seen you somewhere else --
(Gellert)
Do you know your neighbour Bathilda?
That’s where I’m staying - with her - HELP me LOOK!?
(Albus)
Yes!
...you got expelled from Durmstrang?
(Gellert)
It’s nothing.
(Albus)
Guess you don’t need school
When you’re this brilliant... (indicates parchment)
(Gellert)
I just took a gamble...
Oh don’t you like my rambles?
(Albus)
Why don't you forget that stuff
You look like you're sixteen
(Gellert)
Damn right - but I'm old for my age
I'm just born to be bad
(Albus)
What d’you mean...born to be bad?
I used to be into magic like that...
(Gellert)
Dark’s in the eye of the beholder!
(Albus)
I used to ex...
(Gellert)
I love experiments!
(Albus)
Uh huh
I used to be a nerd
(Gellert)
But now and then I like to --
(Albus)
Uh huh
(Gellert)
Feel good
(Albus)
Here it -- um --
(Gellert)
What's that?
(Albus)
Nothing...I imagined it...
(Gellert)
We could start a scandal!
(The window slams shut, seemingly of its own accord, and extinguishes the candles in the room)
What'd you do to that candle?
(Albus)
I forgot to get the latch...
(Gellert)
Our eyes'll adjust, thank God for the moon
(Albus)
Maybe it's not the moon at all
It might be my brother torching the barn
(He gets up to leave but Gellert tugs at his hand. Author’s note: I know moon =/= fire, but maybe it’s MAGICAL FIRE that is that colour!)
(Gellert)
Bah humbug ... Bah humbug
(Albus - suddenly becoming aware of Gellert’s hands)
Warm hands
(Gellert)
Yours too.
And kind of sweaty...
You wanna dance?
(Albus)
With you?
(Gellert)
No - with the tablecloth -
(They waltz around for a few beats)
(Albus)
I'm Albus
(Gellert)
They call me (Gellert gets very close to Albus)
They call me Gellert
(They kiss. Meanwhile, Gellert reaches into Albus’ pocket and retrieves not only his own wand, but Albus’ too. They break apart, Gellert tosses the wands into the air; he catches Albus’ and lets his own fall to the floor, before Disapparating.)
