A Step to the Left

Disclaimer: I do not in any way own Harry Potter or the play that they will be performing. If I did I would not be writing fanfiction. I am a poor college student so I will have no money if you sue.

Authors note: Hi people, just your slightly insane author here to give you some info and warnings. This story will contain slash, of the Harry and Draco variety. And while I do have most of the details worked out, I will defiantly be asking what you, the reader, want. So please sit back and enjoy.

"There will be no Quidditch taking place this year." Albus Dumbledore stated, and with that comment the Great Hall exploded in sound as students tried to process the back to school announcement.

And with that announcement Harry Potter, the-boy-who-finally-defeated- the-dark-lord, let his head fall to the table with a groan. Why could he not have a regular final year at Hogwarts? Why did every year that came bring something different, that usually involved him, whether he wanted it to or not.

A loud ringing noise silenced the clamor, and once again the students turned to look at Professor Dumbledore who was lowering his wand. "Now I know that this comes as shock to many but we, the professors, have decided to forgo team competition and instead bring back an activity from years past to unite the houses" Some students looked at the professor with some incredulity. The past year had seen an amazing increase in house unity as the students realized that there truly was a war going on that they would need to prepare for. And the past summer when the last battle took place in front of Hogwarts, all four houses had stood together to defeat Lord Voldemort and his death eaters.

Professor Dumbledore ignored the student's looks, his blue eyes sparkling. "Now the new defense against the Dark arts teacher, Professor Deluca, has agreed to oversee this new activity. The staff of Hogwarts has decided that you will all put on a play for the rest of the student body. More details will follow later on in the weeks to come. But be warned, all students will audition." Dumbledore let those words soak in, those horror filled words for one green eyed boy, and then resumed speaking "Now would the prefects please escort the houses to their dorms."

As one Harry Potter walked out towards the dorms one thought ran through his mind, 'I am so screwed.' Somehow, someway hey would be dragged into this play.

AN: ok here is the first chapter. I know its short and I'm sorry, hopefully they will get longer. Now brownie points to anyone who can tell me what play they will be doing (look at the title) or from where the defense teacher gets her name. Also if anyone would like to beta my story please tell me. And remember REVIEW and I write faster.
