Chapter1: Try outs

Disclaimer: I don't own Harry Potter if I did I wouldn't be doing this. The only characters I own are Serena, Nick, Andy, Andrew, Mina and Chris.

It was a normal day at Hogwarts school of witchcraft and wizardry well sort of that was until Professor Albus Dumbledore came up with the idea of doing a muggle play called Beauty and the Beast. And the try outs just started. A girl with black hair down to mid back and her deep Copenhagen blue eye her name is Serena Black.

"Ms. Black you're up, who are you trying out for my dear?" asked the head master.

"Belle" replied Serena.

"Pick your scene child" said Professor McGonagall.

"My scene is when Belle is singing Bonjour" replied. Serena.

Some Gryffindors, Ravenclaw, Hufflepuff, Slytherins and Professor Snape got on stage.

Serena/ Belle: Little town, it's a quiet village
every day, like the one before
little town, full of little people
Waking up to say...

Blaise /townfolk1: Bonjour!

Seamus/townfolk2: Bonjour!

Lavender/townfolk3: Bonjour!

Dean/townfolk4: Bonjour!

Colin/townfolk5: Bonjour!

Serena/Belle: There goes the baker with his tray like always
The same old bread and rolls to sell
Ev'ry morning just the same
Since the morning that we came
To this poor provincial town...

Lee/Baker: Good morning, Belle!

Serena/Belle: Morning monsieur!

Lee/Baker: Where are you off to?

Serena/Belle: The bookshop! I just finished the most wonderful story, about a beanstalk and an ogre and…

Lee/Baker: (ignoring her) That's nice…Marie, the baguettes! Hurry up!

Seamus/Townsfolk:Look there she goes, that girl is strange no question
Dazed and distracted, can't you tell?

Cho/Woman1: Never part of any crowd

Oliver/Barber: Cause her head's up on some cloud

Dean/townsfolk: No denying she's a funny girl, that Belle!

Fred/Driver: Bonjour!

Angelina/Woman2: Good day!

Fred/ Driver: How is your family?

Katie/Woman3: Bonjour!

George/Merchant: Good day!

Katie/Woman3: How is your wife?

Mina/Woman4: I need six eggs

Dennis/ Man1: That's too expensive!

Serena/Belle: There must be more than this provincial life!

Justin/Bookseller: Ah, Belle!

Serena/ Belle: Good morning. I've come to return the book I borrowed.

Justin/Bookseller: Finished already?

Serena/Belle: Oh, I couldn't put it down! Have you got anything new?

Justin/Bookseller: (laughing) Not since yesterday.

Serena/Belle: (on ladder of bookshelf) That's all right. I'll borrow… this one.

Justin/Bookseller: That one? But you've read it twice!

Serena/Belle: Well it's my favorite! Far off places, daring swordfights, magic spells, a prince in disguise!

Justin/Bookseller:(Hands her the book)Well, if you like it all that much, it's yours !

Serena/Belle: But sir!

Justin/Bookseller: I insist!

Serena/Belle: Well Thank you. Thank you very much! (leaves bookshop)

Percy, Terry, Malfoy/Men: (looking in window, then turning to watch her)

Look there she goes

That girl is so peculiar!

I wonder if she's feeling well!

Penelope, Amy & Michelle/ Women:With a dreamy far-off look!

Percy, Terry & Malfoy/Men: And hernose stuck in a book!

All:What a puzzle to the rest of us is Belle!

Serena/Belle: Oh! Isn't this amazing!
It's my favorite part because, you'll see!
Here's where she meets Prince Charming
But she won't discover that it's him 'til chapter three!

Alicia/ Woman5: Now it's no wonder that her name means 'beauty'
Her looks have got no parallel!

Andrew/Merchant: But behind that fair facade
I'm afraid she's rather odd
Very different from the rest of us…

All: She's nothing like the rest of us
Yes different from the rest of us is Belle

Goyle/Lefou: Wow!You didn't miss a shot, Gaston! You're the greatest hunter in the whole world!

Prof. Snape/ Gaston: I know!

Goyle/ Lefou: Huh. No beast alive stands a chance against you...and no girl for that matter!

Prof. Snape/Gaston: It's true, Lefou, and I've got my sights set on that one! (pointing to Belle)

Goyle/Lefou: The inventor's daughter?

Prof. Snape/ Gaston: She's the one! The lucky girl I'm going to marry.

Prof. Snape/ Gaston: The most beautiful girl in town.

Goyle/ Lefou: I know- -

Goyle/Lefou: But she's - -

Prof. Snape/Gaston: And that makes her the best. And don't I deserve the best?

Goyle/ Lefou: Well of course, I mean you do, but I mean...

Prof. Snape/ Gaston: Right from the moment when I met her, saw her,
I said she's gorgeous and I fell

Here in town there's only she
(Belle walks by and away)
Who is beautiful as me

So I'm making plans to woo and marry Belle

Pansy, Parvati, Susan/ Bimbettes: Look there he goes, isn't he dreamy
Monsieur Gaston, oh he's so cute
Be still my heart, I'm hardly breathing
He's such a tall, dark, strong and handsome brute

Dennis/Man1: Bonjour!

Prof. Snape/Gaston: Pardon!

Cedric/ Man2: Good day!

Alex/ Man3:Maisoui!

Cho/Woman1: You call this bacon?

Angelina/ Woman2: What lovely grapes!

Andy/ Man4: Some cheese!

Katie/ Woman3: Ten yards!

Andy/ Man4: One pound

Prof. Snape/ Gaston: 'scuse me!

Andy/ Man4:I'll get the knife!

Prof. Snape/Gaston: Please let me through!

Mina/Woman4:This bread!

Nick/ Man5:Those fish!

Mina/Woman4: It's stale!

Nick/Man5: They smell!

Chris/Man6: Madame's mistaken!

Serena/Belle:There must be more than this provincial life!

All: Well maybe so...

Prof. Snape/ Gaston: Just watch I'm going to make Belle my wife!

All: Look there she goes a girl who's strange but special
A most peculiar mademoiselle
It's a pity and a sin
She doesn't quite fit in!

Blaise, Seamus, Lavender, Dean/ Group 1:But she really is a funny girl

Andy, Mina, Dennis, Colin/ Group2: A beauty but a funny girl

All: She really is a funny girl! That Belle!

Prof. Snape/ Gaston: Hello, Belle.

Serena/ Belle: Bonjour Gaston.
(Gaston grabs the book from Belle)
Gaston, may I have my book, please?

Prof. Snape/ Gaston: Howcan you read this? There's no pictures!

Serena/ Belle: Well, some people use their imaginations.

Prof. Snape/ Gaston: Belle, it's about time you got your head out of those books
(tossing book into the mud)
and paid attention to more important things...like me! The whole town's talking about it.

(The Bimbettes, who are looking on, sigh. Belle
has picked up the book and is cleaning off the mud)

It's not right for a woman to read--soon she starts getting ideas... and thinking.

Serena/ Belle: Gaston, you are positively primeval.

Prof. Snape/ Gaston: (Putting his hand around her shoulders)
Why thank you, Belle. Hey, whaddya say you and me take a walk over to
the tavern and have a look at my hunting trophies.

Serena/ Belle:Maybe some other time.

Pansy/ Bimbette1: What's wrong with her?

Parvati/ Bimbette2: She's crazy!

Susan/ Bimbette3: He's gorgeous!

Serena/ Belle: Please, Gaston. I can't. I have to get home and help my father.

Goyle/ Lefou: Ha ha ha, that crazy old loon, he need all the help he can get!
(Gaston and Lefou laugh heartily)

Serena/ Belle: Don't you talk about my father that way!

Prof. Snape/ Gaston: Yeah, don't talk about her father that way!
(He conks Lefou on the head.)

(Explosion in background. Gaston and Lefou continue
laughing. BELLE rushes home and descends into the basement.)

"Well done, Ms. Black, fantastic performance" said Professor Dumbledore with a kind smile on his face.

Serena took a seat next to a still laughing Harry, Ron, Hermione and the other Gryffindor that didn't go on stage. Serena just shook her head at them but couldn't help but laugh as well.

"Good job up there Fox" said Harry.

"Thanks Prongs, you know I was having a hard time on trying not to laugh when Prof. Snape was singing Gaston's part." replied Serena.

"Yeah that was funny" said Neville.

"Right from the moment when I met her, saw her

I said she's gorgeous and I fell

Here in town there's only she
Who is beautiful as me

So I'm making plans to woo and marry Belle" mocked singed Harry and Ron in Snape voice getting Serena to laugh Hermione soon followed in the laughter.

After everyone tried out Professor Dumbledore stood up from his seat next to Professor McGonagall. Every ones attention turns to him and he smiled.

"Thank you for all coming the character list will be posted up in your common rooms" said Prof. Dumbledore withy a smile.
