Disclaimer: I don't own Harry Potter or anything related to the Harry Potter world. I also do not own the manga story Night Circus by Lily Hoshino in the book Alone in My King's Harem.
AN-Hey! Ok so this is yet another story that I'm going to start… . sorry about that… anyways I got this idea from a story by Lily Hoshino in a yaoi manga I was reading. I'm really excited to attempt this story so tell me what you think! : D
Chapter 1- Flying Trapeze
It's time thought Harry as he started to climb the rope ladder to the ceiling of the tent. When he reached the top of the ladder he pulled himself gracefully up onto the small, colored platform that resided about 50 feet above the ground. He was sweating freely now in his skin-tight, sequined, blue unitard, as his gaze narrowed in on the bar suspended from two ropes in front of him.
The only thing left to do now was jump. Harry wiped the sweat off of his hands in a last minute effort to calm his nerves as the band started a thundering drum roll below him. The crowd grew silent as they all watched with bated breaths for the awe-inspiring stunt that was about to be preformed.
Knowing he had no more time to spare Harry bunched his knees and jumped, with his hands outstretched, toward the hanging bar four feet in front of him.
He had a fearful thought that he might have missed and would start falling any second now. Just as the thought crossed his mind his hands gripped the bar and he was flying through the air. He made a forward swing then a backward swing before he released the bar and flew through the air again, this time heading towards Hermione Granger. Hermione was hanging by her knees from a bar where she caught Harry's hands mid-leap and together they flew through the air.
Harry swung from bar to bar adding little twists and extravagant flips to the routine as he went. They never had a choreographed routine for the trapeze bars. It would have been too difficult to predict what might happen up in the air. So they left Harry and Hermione alone to do their own act.
Once Harry got past his nerves he was exhilarated by the feeling of flying through the air. In his opinion it was the best feeling in the world. But just as soon as he started to enjoy himself it was time to end his act and return to the ground. With one last mighty swing he did a back flip back up on to the platform he had started on.
Once there he lifted his arms and bowed to the cheering crowd below. Then his moment of fame was over and he was climbing back down the ladder as the show moved on the fire-breather's act. He reached the floor and raced from the center ring to behind the curtain where the other performers waited.
Hermione had gotten there before him and was receiving congratulations on her outstanding performance. When Harry reached her she smiled and told him he had done well before going off with Ron, her boyfriend.
Ron was one of the acrobats that the circus employed. He had twin brothers named Fred and George who were also acrobats and two other brothers named Bill and Charlie. Charlie was the Circus's money-keeper, and Bill helped take care of the many exotic animals that circus kept.
Harry was starting to get tired so he made his way out the back flaps of the Big Top and headed for the train owned by the circus. He found his compartment, crawled in, changed out of his costume, and fell asleep in his corner of the train.
Please review! Please Please PLEASE!!! :D I have the next four chapters of this written and I promise it picks up.
