Harry Potter: Fan fiction

The Healing Touch of Music

Disclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter or anything to do with it; it is all down to the amazing JK Rowling. I also don't own anything to do with Camp Rock, its characters, setting or plot.

Author's Note: So this idea randomly came to me when I was changing a string on my guitar and a camp rock song came into my head, I thought I'd be fun to see what would happen if you put a bunch of witches and wizards in a muggle music camp. I have used the setting of camp rock but not really used the plot as that's going on in the background. I am also aware that Camp Rock came out like 7 years ago but I still thought I'd be fun to write. I hope you enjoy the story; this is my first one so please review and let me know what you think.

Chapter 1: The Surprise

Hermione POV

Harry, Ron, Ginny and I were all sat in the great hall, the war ended a few weeks ago and all the funerals had now taken place. Although it was heart breaking to go to all the funerals, especially Fred's, Tonk's and Remus', I knew they were all at peace and happy, and through the grief, life was starting to get back to normal.

Harry and Ginny weren't actually together yet as Ginny was still angry at him for breaking up with her and leaving her at Hogwarts with no way of knowing anything, not even knowing if he was alive. She said she can't forgive him yet and isn't ready to, which I understand completely.

Ron and I were now finally a couple - after years of me waiting he actually asked me properly the morning after Harry and Voldermort's final fight and I was so happy.

Parts of the school were still in ruins from the battle, but there was a huge repair programme happening at Hogwarts to try and get it sorted before the new school year. As no one had got much done the previous year with Snape in charge and the Carrows terrorising everyone, we were all redoing the year. This resulted in Hogwarts housing a whole extra year than usual as new first years were starting but none of last year's 7th years were leaving. I felt kind of bad for the first years because it was scary enough coming to this huge place and this year things would be so much more confusing. This, combined with the amount of teachers that were killed in the battle, meant that there needed to be more teachers so some of us were helping out - I was going to be teaching Transfiguration, Harry was teaching DADA, Neville was covering Herbology, surprisingly Malfoy was doing potions, and Ron would be the new referee for the Quidditch matches and flying lessons. All this was on top of our normal studies so we knew it would be a busy year.

Also because of the increased number of students, an extra building was being built so the school was heaving with people who had come to help – squibs, students from Beauxbatons and Durmstrang and ex-students of Hogwarts.

We were eating our breakfast in the Great Hall when the owls all came in. A note dropped on my plate right on my jam and toast.

Miss Granger,

Can you please report to my office after breakfast?

Thank you,

Professor McGonagall,

Headmistress

Ps, the password is 'Victory at last'

I assumed it was something to do with the teaching at first but it wasn't just me who got a note - several people around the room including Ginny and George also stood up and I walked quickly with my friends to the headmistress' office.

"Thank you all for meeting me here today, I'm sure you're all wondering what this is about. As you are all aware the main reason for the war came from a bigoted view that pureblood witches and wizards are better than any other person in society and mainly that muggles are scum, which is completely untrue and unfair. Because of that you are all going to be spending a week during summer at a muggle camp."

There was an up roar at this announcement. I personally didn't really see what the big deal was, muggles are just like us. But then again I am a muggle born so I would think that.

"SILENCE!" McGonagall thundered. "I know this is a shock, but you all need to realise that they are the same as us, and in some ways a lot more advanced. We have magic on our side but they obviously don't, therefore they spend their time in a very different way and I think it would be beneficial for you to see how they cope and advance in society. Also I don't know if you have realised but those of you who have responded negatively are the reason we need to do this. There is not going to be another war because of misinformed information and lies, do you all understand me?"

I nodded respectfully.

"Is there any questions?" My hand shot up in the air, and I waited for McGonagall to motion for me to go ahead, ignoring Parkinson muttering somewhere to my right about me being a know-it-all and that I think I'm better than everyone else just because I put my hand up, which makes no sense as I wouldn't have put my hand up if I knew the answer.

"What is the camp for?"

"It is a camp of music." She responded and I felt a burst of excitement course through me because I have always wanted to learn a musical instrument. The feeling was quickly followed by anxiousness and dread, because I know how long it takes to learn an instrument and you couldn't learn how to play one in a week.

"Professor," Ron started, "I don't know about anyone else but I can't play any instruments."

"I thought that would be the case but the camp offers lessons which you can take on an instrument of your choice and there is also canoeing, dancing and singing which you can get involved with."

"Professor," George said solemnly (he'd been like that since Fred died). "I'm only here to help with the repairs to the school and I'm not a student anymore, and I have the shop to look after."

"I know, but I thought I'd give you the option to come as well as I thought it would be good for you. Could you get someone to look after the shop? It's only for a week anyway." She replied gently.

"Yeah I suppose," He murmured dejectedly.

"What if I don't want to?" Parkinson sneered.

"Tough, Miss Parkinson. Most careers now request that all students have some experience with muggles and I think it's only those who are against this that have no experience with them, am I right?" The room was silent after that. "Plus it is only for a week, just give it a chance.

"Right now, as I have mentioned this is a muggle camp, therefore there is strictly no magic allowed." Everyone grumbled at this, including me.

"But Professor," She interrupted the complaints.

"Listen if muggles can get by without magic you lot can. If any of you break this rule your wand will be broken and you will be stripped of your magic, so either spend a week without magic or spend your life without it, it is your choice. There are just a few more details I need to discuss with you before you can go.

"Firstly, you are the first group in a new programme we are setting up if it goes well with you then we are going to do it with the rest of the school throughout the remainder of the summer. You are representing your school and if anyone asks it is just a boarding school in Scotland.

"This camp starts on the 1st of June which is next Saturday, as it is Tuesday now you have just less than two weeks to prepare. You are only going for a week so you don't need your whole wardrobes and muggle clothes and accessories only please.

"Before I get into travel and sleeping arrangements, can anyone in here play a musical instrument and if you can what can you play?" I took this opportunity to look around and see who exactly was coming into this camp with me. From Gryffindor there was; Me, Ron, Harry, Ginny, Fred, Lavender (who actually smiled at me when we walked in, which I found slightly strange), Neville, Parvati, Seamus and Dean (there was no hard feelings between him and Ginny apparently). From Ravenclaw there was; Luna, Padma, Terry and Cho, (who waved and smiled at Harry in return he smiled cautiously back but Ginny just ignored the interaction). From Hufflepuff there was Susan Bones, Justin Flinch-Fletchely, Ernie Macmillan and Hannah Abbot. Finally from Slytherin there was; Malfoy, Zabini, Goyle, Nott, Parkinson, and Bulstrode. Surprising me further Malfoy put his hand up stating he can play the piano and Zabini and Neville could play the guitar (I didn't know that). Lavender could play a bit of the keyboard, Parvati and Padma could play the flute and clarinet respectively and Dean, Justin and Goyle could all play the drums.

"Do any of you have a mobile phone?" Only me, Seamus, Dean, Justin and Hannah nodded.

"Right, well every teenager in the muggle world owns a phone so we'll go and get phones for you all, would you 5 like a new one?" We nodded, I hadn't had a new phone since I was 11 as wizards and witches didn't have them. "Those who don't own muggle clothing or enough for a week stay behind and that can be sorted.

"Okay thank you everyone, please meet me outside the castle doors and 7am on the 31st of May and you will be flying on an aeroplane to America for the camp. Molly Weasley, Bill Weasley, Fleur Delacour and Professor's Sprout and Slughorn will act as chaperone to get you there and bring you home but they will not go to the actual camp with you."

"Professor," I said, "Why can't we just get a portkey there and then drive the rest of the way? And if it only starts on the 1st why are we travelling on the 31st when America is 6 hours behind us?"

"You are flying because you need to have the full muggle experience," I had flown before to France but I knew Harry, Ron, Ginny and George hadn't so I assumed I was one of the only ones who even knew what an aeroplane was, "and there is an orientation type thing for new campers which you all are, so that's why. Ok for sleeping arrangements you will be sleeping in cabins and I am just warning you that I have given a list to Brown the Camp Leader and he is sorting out who is sleeping with who so you may want to get over your rivalry with each other or at least be civil. The name of the Camp is 'Camp Rock'.

"Any more questions?" There wasn't any, "Except from those who need muggle clothes you are all dismissed." I just caught Parkinson muttering to Bulstrode that Ron, Ginny and Fred can't afford muggle clothing so they would have to stay behind. Ironically none of them had to and both Parkinson and Bulstrode did. This was going to be an interesting week.

Brown's POV

"Shane, you're going to have to come because we have a lot more new campers this year," I said to my nephew over the phone.

"You have new campers every year, Brown." He replied.

"Listen I had a phone call from a boarding school in Scotland called Hogwarts and they are sending 7 sets 23 students, each set is coming for a week that's more than 2 classes in one group, we need you."

"I have never heard of Hogwarts."

"Probably because you aren't from Scotland." I heard Nate say sarcastically in the background, which reminded me.

"Oh Shane, tell Nate and Jason they are coming too, we need everyone we can get." I heard one

"YESSS!" one "NOOO!" that was Jason and one "WHAT!" that was Nate.

"Right well boys; be here for 31st for the orientation for new campers. No later than 9 am." I hung up after that and put my head in my hands. I wasn't worried about having enough instructors but there was a lot more campers this year. New cabins were being put up as I spoke to the boys and I was also aware that with a group that big especially from a boarding school they would have their own cliques, social norms, way of living and their headmistress also mentioned that in England there had been a massive war like rivalry between certain groups and these kids had been in the middle of it.

Only 8 of them could actually play instruments and the headmistress didn't know if there were any singers. I asked her if there were any preferences on cabins, as they were such a big group, but she told me to do it random, that it would do them good for them. All I had where a list of names though; Hannah Abbot, Terry Boot, Susan Bones, Lavender Brown, Cho Chang, Millicent Bulstrode, Hermione Granger, Neville Longbottom, Luna Lovegood, Ernie Macmillan, Draco Malfoy, Theodore Nott, Harry Potter, Dean Thomas, Ron Weasley, George Weasley and Blaise Zabini. I put them together the best I could in 3 three's and a four for the boys and 3 three's and a 2 for the girls. I put another girl called Mitchie Torres with the two in this group to make a 3 Her mother was the new chef and she was supposed to share with her but I thought she may like to be with some people her own age. I knew the group was only coming for a week before the school sent another group but then she could move back in with her mother. I did hope they would all get on together. Hopefully the music would bring them together.
