Say No To This
                              
(By Lin-Manuel Miranda, master of intrigue)
                              


                              
[POTTER]
                              
There's nothing like summer in the city
                              
Someone under stress meets someone looking pretty
                              
There's trouble in the air, you can smell it
                              
And Draco's by himself. I'll let him tell it
                              


                              
[MALFOY]
                              
I hadn't slept in a week
                              
I was weak, I was awake
                              
You've never seen a Slytherin orphan
                              
More in need of a break
                              
Longing for Harry
                              
Missing my wife
                              
That's when Blaise Zabini 
                              
walked back into my life, 
                              
he said:
                              
[BLAISE]
                              
I know it's been awhile Draco
                              
I'm so sorry to bother you at home
                              
But I don't know where to go, 
                              
and my wife has thrown me out...
                              
[MALFOY]
                              
He said:
                              
[BLAISE]
                              
My wife's doin' me wrong
                              
Cursin' me, cheatin' me, mistreatin' me...
                              
Suddenly she's up and threw me out
                              
I don't have the means to go on
                              
[MALFOY]
                              
So I offered him a loan, 
                              
I offered him a room, and he said
                              
[BLAISE]
                              
You're too kind, sir
                              
[MALFOY]
                              
I showed him to the shower and had a meal 
                              
And walked him to his room, he said:
                              
[BLAISE]
                              
I guess this one's mine, 
                              
[MALFOY]
                              
Then I said, "Well, I should head back to my bed,"
                              
He turned, he led me to his bed
                              
Let his legs spread and said:
                              
[BLAISE]
                              
Stay?
                              
[MALFOY]
                              
Hey...
                              
[BLAISE] 
                              
Hey...
                              
[MALFOY]
                              
That's when I began to pray:
