Chapter 2

September 16

"Are you nervous?" The very jumpy Ginny asked Harry.

"Why would I be nervous? I've only never sang anywhere other than the shower, and I'll be singing in front of my worst enemy and my best friends. No, I'm not nervous at all."

"Harry is it that time of the month? Do you need some chocolate, Midol? Anything?"

"Ha ha very funny" he said shoving his best friend.

"Excuse me! Excuse me!" Professor McGonagall said getting everyone's attention. "Professor Dumbledore has decided to pay a tribute to the seventh year students, by putting on two musicals. The one in the fall is Tarzan and will be featuring Gryffindor and Slytherin students. The one in the spring will be Beauty and the Beast and will feature Hufflepuffs and Ravenclaws. Now Professor Snape will be passing out music books, and a sign up sheet please write down who you will be trying out for and we will start with the biggest roles and work our way down." Snape passed out the books and when he passed Harry he sneered and dropped the book in his lap rather hard. Once everyone had signed up and looked through their music books McGonagall stood up again.

"Now, to start with the role of Tarzan… Let's see oh yes Mr. Malfoy will you please come up here and sing us Two Worlds."

"What did I tell you?" Ginny whispered to Harry. Malfoy strutted up to the stage and opened his book once the music started he belted out the song. It wasn't good but it wasn't bad either. He kind of missed a couple of notes and started too early at some parts but other than that it was quite a good performance. Next up was Harry. The two boys exchanged sneers and Malfoy left the stage while Harry took it. "

Thank you very much for that Mr. Malfoy now Mr. Potter could you please sing for us…" Please be Everything That I Am. Harry felt a connection with the song, he could kind of twist it and it really pertained to him. "…Everything That I Am, and just ignore were you have to sing with others."

YES. Harry waited while the music started the music seemed to go on forever until he finally started singing very softly at first. Even with a bit of doubt in his voice but soon he built up and was singing like nothing could stop him. He was really feeling the music he thought he messed up on some notes but he didn't really care all he wanted was to get the part of Tarzan so he could kiss Ginny.

I know the reason why I must decide and leave here the man I am in side

The future is clear for me to see to be the man I'm meant to be

Like my father with my head held high

And standing tall proud of all that I am

I'm a man.

The room burst into applause as Harry stepped down from the stage. Out of breath, from belting out the whole entire song. To say the least he had done absolutely amazing. "Whoa" Ginny, Ron, and Hermione said as Harry sat down.

"I didn't know you could sing Harry!" Ron exclaimed.

"Neither did I."

The rest of the auditions went smoothly. Ginny was by far the best girl auditioning for Jane, Hermione sang beautifully, Ron scatted to everyone's surprise, and a bigger surprise was Vincent Crabbe singing opera style for his audition to play the head gorilla, Kerchak. "Thank you all, very much for coming and auditioning the cast list will be posted tomorrow in your common rooms along with the first practice date." McGonagall said dismissing everyone.

The next morning everyone raced down the stairs in their pajamas too excited to see if they got their part to really care what they looked like.

"They forgot me! I'm not on there!" Harry yelled. "Look right there." Hermione said still excited from getting her dream part.

The part of Tarzan could not be decided upon.

It will be either Draco Malfoy or Harry Potter.

Please come to the new theatre wing today at 3:00 for callbacks.

Ron and Ginny Weasley and Hermione Granger this is mandatory.

However if you made the cast you are welcome to come as well.

"Harry! Do you know what that means!" Ginny exclaimed still screaming from making the part of Jane and having Harry be so close to being her Tarzan. Harry shook his head. "It means that they want you to sing with me and everyone else we all have perfect harmony with each other come on go get dressed so we can practice. Hermione this is were having the head girl suite comes in handy I'll go get my cd." Ginny ordered around.

"Hang on, how do you have a cd?" Ron asked.

"I got it when we were in New York, now go get dressed!" In Hermione's suite the four were all helping Harry sing his best with each other. He was doing exceptionally well with the songs he sang with Ginny in, they made the room glow with passion as they sang. When Ron's stomach started rumbling they went down to the Great Hall for lunch.

"I'd watch out if I were you Potter" Draco sneered as he passed by the Gryffindor table.

"Why what are you gonna do? Sneer at me? Face it Malfoy I got a standing ovation yesterday and all you got were claps from the Slytherins in the room, I on the other hand had everyone clapping on their feet." Harry retorted. Three o'clock came fairly fast after lunch and the four Gryffindors headed towards the new theatre wing. Once they arrived there was a plain stage set up like in the Great Hall and in front of it was a long table with three seats one for Dumbledore, McGonagall, and Snape.

"Thank you all for coming here for the call-backs for the role of Tarzan." Snape drawled. "First off we will have Mr. Malfoy sing with Miss Granger and then Mr. Potter will do the same. Feel free to interact with each other while you are singing." Draco and Hermione went to the stage and as they started Draco tried to score points by "interacting" as Snape put it. It looked more like jerky movements that were forced that distracted Hermione from singing the right notes. However, when Harry went to sing the same song the movements were very real and you almost thought that Harry and Hermione were really leaving each other and that they were mother and son, if that makes any sense. Next up was a song with Terk and Tarzan, Malfoy went first again and the interacting was Ron tripping Draco when he tried to clap him on the back. Once again when Harry went up the two glowed with amusement and Harry belted all the right notes at the right times. Finally Ginny went up to the stage and Malfoy followed. She noticed he had an odd look in his eye, was it lust she saw? She realized it was just that when his "interaction" was groping Ginny but making it look like friendly pats.

As he gently holds me close

Was not gently, it was more of Draco dragging Ginny into his arms while Ginny, Harry, and Ron had a look of pure disgust stuck on their face the rest of the song. At the end of the song Harry slowly went up the stage bracing himself to sing with his crush. Their movements were so natural and they sang to each other with passion in their eyes and hearts. When they finished everyone in the room was dumbstruck. Holy crap! The two thought at the exact same time, along with most others in the room.

"Thank you two, we will have a definite decision by sometime tonight around 7:00, at this time we will be posting the schedule for the rest of the night." McGonagall stated. The four took the long way to the common room as to take up more time and keep Harry out of too much suspense. When they finally scrambled into the common room it was 6:58.

"What time is it?" Harry asked anxiously looking at the bulletein board.

"6:59 and about thirty seconds" Hermione replied anxious to see Harry's name pop up magically on the blank piece of parchment, next to the one with her name on it.

Please say Harry. Please say Harry. I will resign if I have to be with Draco Malfoy throughout this whole thing! Okay maybe I won't I really wanted to be Jane. But then again it's not the same if Harry isn't my Tarzan. Shut up Ginny your rambling to yourself. Ginny finally reached the present once again tosee Harrry jumping up and down and yelling about how he knew the "stupid git" would never be the amazing Tarzan.

Final thoughts of the night.

Shit. I love my best friend. Harry

I get to be a monkey for the next four months! Ron

I'm in love with Harry. Shit. Ginny

I can't wait to finally understand the connection between gorilla's and humans. Wow I'm a nerd. Hermione
