I do not own Harry Potter. JK Rowling is the rightful owner of this awesome series. If I owned this series, I would be very rich and probably not be writing this. The bolder words are not my own.

Author's Note: This'll be brief. So I know there's a lot of these "reading the book" fanfictions out there, so I wanted to do something like this, but different. Basically, I'm going to take different parts of the book and have the characters read these snippets. For example, this first reading will be Lily and James' death, taken from the Deathly Hallows. I welcome any suggestions for what you'd like the characters to read! Enjoy.

As it generally occurs in many of these fanfictions, the characters were going about their daily business, completely unaware that they were about to disappear in a bright light from nowhere and find themselves in a room where a mysterious being would tell them in an ominous tone (or perhaps, an overly eager OC would appear, wielding supreme power, and perkily announcing) that they would now be submitted to watch some important stuff.

Yes. That was what was happening.

Let's start off with the Weasley's: It was summer. Hogwarts was empty, save for a few teachers intent on planning the year's lessons. But the Burrow was filled to bursting; not only were at the Delacour's over to celebrate Voldemort's defeat and cherish their daughter and son-in-law, but the Grangers had also stopped by for a brief visit, to get to know Ron, who was currently dating their daughter, although their relationship was a bit shaky. Additionally, Charlie was home, as well as several of George's friends, who were there to support the soul red-headed twin as he coped with his brother's death; Lee Jordan, who was a constant shining light, never going out, and Angelina Johnson, who was currently dating George. Percy was also home, making up for his lost time with his family and proving himself not to be a major prat, and he'd dragged along his lovely and sweet girlfriend, Audrey.

Ginny and Harry, too, were together now. Starting off again, things had been shaky; Ginny was determined to be angry at Harry for quite some time, trying to make him realize how much he'd hurt her by leaving her, but only a few months after the war, she'd had a realization as to how truly lucky she was that her love had survived.

Hmm, who else of importance are we missing? We have Bill and his lovely wife, and their lovely new born daughter Victoire, and Fleur's family, including Gabrielle, and Charlie, and Percy and Audrey, George and his friends, Ron, Hermione, and her parents, and Harry and Ginny. But how could we forget little Teddy Remus Lupin? Now growing what seemed quickly, the little toddler always seemed to be everywhere, accompanied by his mop of teal hair, wreaking havoc everywhere and causing a lot of distress that was eased by his adorableness. So yes, he was there too.

I believe that's everybody at the Weasley's, so let's move on:

Among one of the studious professors still at Hogwarts, Minerva McGonagall was studiously bent over her desk, seated in her office, the office that had once belonged to the great Dumbledore, whose portrait hung above the chair. Seeing her beloved headmaster, Minerva often felt a pang of sadness, but she'd moved on from his death; noble and wise, he would never be forgotten, along with all the others who had lost their lives fighting.

On the grounds of Hogwarts, Hagrid set about in his pumpkin patch, attending to Buckbeak, who had fallen back into his possession, much to his delight, after the war; removed from the Gaunt house so that he could see the light, Buckbeak was even more magnificent than before. In her greenhouse, Professor Sprout was busy, and in various other parts of Hogwarts, Flitwick and Slughorn too were at work with various things.

In Malfoy Manor, Draco was going about his Malfoy business, surely task that was far more superior than anyone who didn't hold the Malfoy name. Since the war, times had been rough for his family; Lucius had been imprisoned, but his sentence had been short, and now the senior Malfoy sat about in the house, looking immensely scarred from everything he'd been through and leaving most of the responsibility to his son, who for once he deemed responsible enough to handle everything. Narcissa Malfoy had also received a prison sentence, one even shorter than her father's, and she'd remained locked in her home, not in Azkaban. She'd quickly adapted to life after the war; currently, she was out with some of her friends. And Draco, Draco had had a trial too. But not only had the judges declared him innocent, but additionally, Potter, Granger, and much to his surprise, Weasley, had all spoken up for him at the trial. He'd gotten off with only a small fine, as well as restricted use of his wand for a year.

In various areas of the country, Harry's friends were minding their own business as well. Neville, Hannah, Luna and her father, Seamus and Dean, the Patils, Susan Bones, and other members of the DA. Not among the friend list, Pansy and Blaise were also doing their own thing, as well as Umbridge, who was doing her best to act prissy and important behind the bars of her prison cell.

So, as all of our beloved characters went about their daily activities, they all disappeared, which we all knew was going to happen, in a bright white light, whose origin is unknown.

They all landed in a typical and ordinary room with no doors or windows, lined with couches aplenty and with a large flat screen TV at the front of the room.

And, naturally, they were all beyond shocked at the sudden transportation.

Cue the angry yells when some Gryffindors see Slytherins, which are quickly quieted because, naturally, there needs to be some explanation.

By some unspoken agreement, everyone turns to look at Hermione Granger, because, of course, she'll be the one to say what just happened, even if some people don't want to rely on her for information.

"It appears we have just been teleported by a white light," said Ron, his voice displaying relatable confusion.

"You are an utter genius, Weasley," came the drawl of Draco Malfoy, who was of course clearly unimpressed with Ron's observation skills. "I didn't notice. No wonder Granger's dating you."

Since the trial, Draco had refrained from calling Hermione Mudblood.

"Shut up, ferret," Ron shot back.

"Oh, come on, just grow up, the two of you," Ginny complained from Harry's side. She was holding his hand to make sure that, in the transportation, she had not lost him. She hadn't.

"I don't understand how this works," Hermione said. "It appears we have all been transported from where we were in the same instant. But was it couldn't have been a Portkey, or some form of Apparition..."

"There's no explanation!" came a sudden chirpy voice. Everyone looked around, confused as to who was speaking to them. "Can you not see us? Oh, excuse me!"

Suddenly a girl appeared. Nobody knew from where, including the girl herself, but she'd clearly made quite an entrance, so she wasn't going to question the methods of her sudden appearance. "Hi!" she said in a perky voice. She was of medium height, and she would've been average, except she wasn't. Her features should've been ordinary, but for some strange reason she looked supernaturally beautiful. Like, unrealistically pretty.

"Hi!" she said again. "I'm Insert Awesome Name Here. And there is no explanation for the white light. It just happened because..." she trailed off, before whispering dramatically, "MAGIC."

"Okay then," said Lee Jordan. "Any explanation as to why we're here?

"Because Insert Awesome Name Here thinks that this is a good idea," said another voice. Again, everyone looked around for the source, but nobody actually saw anybody who'd spoken.

"Nobody can see you," the new girl said, her voice annoyed but still perky.

"I'm right here," said the second voice, and suddenly another person appeared from nowhere too.

"How are you doing that?" asked Percy Weasley.

"Apparation, duh," said the new person, a boy who was just as handsome as Insert Awesome Name Here was beautiful.

"Oh, is that it?" she asked. "That sounds disappointingly disappointing."

"Just like you," the boy said.

Her lip trembled, and despite the fact that they hardly knew her or the boy, everyone instantly felt sympathy for the completely cruel and out of line thing the boy had just said to her. Even the Malfoy's felt bad, even though it was very out of character for them.

"You're so mean!" she wailed.

"You're so overdramatic," the boy replied, then turned to face the crowd that was sympathizing with his...friend. "Hi, I'm Insert Dark And Dramatic Name Here. This is my sister. You're probably wondering why you're all here, in this room."

Everyone nodded to show that they were indeed wondering this, except for Luna, who began, "Actually, I was wondering about the Wrackspurts and the fact that there's a high concentration of - " before getting interrupted and ignored.

Insert Awesome Name Here was immediately perky again, her earlier sadness gone. "You're going to watch some important stuff!"

"Like what?" sneered Draco.

Insert Awesome Name Here proceeded to fangirl because she loved Draco Malfoy so much and couldn't believe he actually spoke to her. "Really important stuff! But everyone already knows how this works so we're not going to explain."

"We don't," Pansy said.

"Basically, you're going to be watching stuff on this TV until we say you can leave," said her brother.

"What's a TV?" many of the pure bloods asked.

Cue to excited squealing - I mean, professional inquiries - from Arthur Weasley.

"How long are we staying here?" asked Harry as he, and everyone else in the room, proceeded to sit on couches, having already accepted their fate and resigned to watching without so much as another question or thought about Apparition and how easy it might be to just leave.

"Until we say you're done," said Insert Dark And Dramatic Name Here. "And you can't Apparate. We have somehow combined all our awesome power and made this the ultimate no break-in break-out room."

"Sounds like something we couldn't used during the war," muttered a lot of people.

"Won't we run out of oxygen, seeing as there's no openings in the room?" asked Hermione wisely.

"No," said Insert Awesome Name Here, but she didn't elaborate because obviously everything already made sense and didn't need to be further explained. "Let's start, shall we?"

"Yes," everyone agreed, unable to deny that they were getting very curious.

"First up, we'll be watching..." began Insert Awesome Name Here in a dramatic but still perky voice, "...the death of Lily and James Potter."

Everyone gasped dramatically or blinked back tears, but nevertheless, they watched with baited breath as the TV screen flickered to life.

Author's Note: Hey, so I hope this was interesting enough to read in entirety. I kind of wrote the part where everyone comes together in a sarcastic manner, because a lot of these fanfictions start this way. So please don't be offended by the way it's written. Anyway, please let me know if there's any Harry Potter moments you'd like to see...

Any feedback is much appreciated!
