Ch. 1: The Auditions
At 7:25, Hermione said, "C'mon, guys. It's time to go!" They got up and walked out of the common room, along with what looked like 20 others.
When they got to the Great Hall, they stopped. The tables had been pushed together to make one big table. They all sat around the table and saw students from Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw, and even Slytherin!
They all looked up as Professor O'Brien stood up. He was a tall man, with shoulder-length blonde hair. He smiled and said, "Welcome to the auditions for The Rocky Horror Picture Show! I am the director, Professor O'Brien. Now, let's get thus show on the road, shall we? All girls, sit here. All boys, sit over there. The boys will audition first. Tell me your name, what song you're doing, and who you're auditioning for."
The boys all looked at each other, none wanting to go first. Finally, Harry sighed and said, "Fine, I'll go first."
He walked up and said, "My name's Harry Potter, I'll be singing 'Yesterday' by the Beatles, and I'm auditioning for Frank."
Professor O'Brien nodded, and Harry began singing.
Yesterday
All my troubles seemed so far away
Now it looks as though they're here to stay
Oh, I believe in yesterday.
Hermione listened as Harry sang. She knew why he had chosen that particular song. As Harry finished, everyone but the Slytherins clapped politely.
Suddenly, Pat Callahan walked up. Harry's eyebrows rose. Pat was a 6th year in Ravenclaw, and was a little rebellious. He was kind of big, and he had his eyebrow pierced. He had his girlfriend Jessica's name tattooed on his arm.
He said, "I'm Pat Callahan, I'll be singing 'Helena' by My Chemical Romance, and I could really care less about which role I get. It was either this or community service."
Professor O'Brien looked taken aback at this proclamation, but he gestured for Pat to begin.
Long ago
Just like the hearse you die to get in again
We are so far from you
Burning on just like a match
You strike to incinerate
The lives of everyone you know
And what's the worst you take
From every heart you break
And like the blade you stain
Well, I've been holding on tonight
Harry looked at Ron and whispered, "He's not that bad…a different song would've been good, though." Ron nodded as the song ended.
Ron, urged on by Harry, walked up and said, "I'm Ron Weasley, I'll be singing 'Just The Girl' by the Click Five, and I'm auditioning for Brad."
When he got the okay, Ron began.
She's cold and she's cruel
But she knows what she's doin'
She pushed me in the pool
At our last school reunion
She laughs at my dreams
But I dream about her laughter
Strange as it seems
She's the one I'm after
Hermione listened patiently for Ron to finish. He was a good guy, but he couldn't sing very well. Still, she clapped when he finished.
After another half hour, the boys were done, and it was time for the girls to go.
Hermione walked up and said, "I'm Hermione Granger. I'll be singing 'Behind These Hazel Eyes' by Kelly Clarkson, and I'm auditioning for Janet."
She began to sing.
Seems like just yesterday
You were a part of me
I used to stand so tall
I used to be so strong
Your arms around me tight
Everything, it felt so right
Unbreakable, like nothing could go wrong
Now I can't breathe
No, I can't sleep
I'm barely hanging on
Ginny sat, listening. I hope I do well! She thought. As Hermione finished, Ginny got up to audition, but was quickly beat by a Slytherin 5th year, Paige Ziebert.
Paige was a short girl, with short brown hair that was wavy. She could beat up half of the boys in her year. It was safe to say that her reputation was so bad that even the first years avoided her.
She said, "Yo. I'm Paige Ziebert, and I'm singing 'Sin Wagon' by the Dixie Chicks. I'm auditioning for…whoever the hell you want me to be."
Then, she started.
He pushed me 'round
Now I'm drawin' the line
He lived his life
Now I'm gonna go live mine
I'm sick of wastin' my time
Well now I've been good for way too long
Found my red dress and I'm gonna throw it on
'Bout to get too far gone
Hermione nodded slightly. Paige was good, but her singing voice was pretty high, like she had just inhaled helium.
Hannah Abbott came up and said, "I'm Hannah Abbott. I'm singing 'Unwritten' by Natasha Bedingfield, and I'm auditioning for Magenta."
She began.
I am unwritten
Can't read my mind
I'm undefined
I'm just beginning
The pen's in my hand
Ending unplanned
As she sang, Hannah thought, I hope that I'm doing good, and not making a complete fool out of myself.
After all the girls were done, Professor O'Brien stood up again. "Thank you, everyone, for coming and auditioning. The cast list will be up on the door Sunday morning before breakfast. Thank you again!"
Hermione, Harry and Ron walked back to the common room.
"Well, see, it wasn't that bad, was it?" Hermione asked.
"It was a lot easier than I thought it would be." Ron said.
"Hey, how'd I do?" Harry asked. "You both did really well."
"You were great, Harry!" Hermione said enthusiastically.
"Yeah, you were better than half the guys who auditioned." Ron said, agreeing.
On Sunday, Hermione, Harry and Ron ran down to the Great Hall anxiously. When they got there, there was a huge mob of people surrounding the cast list. Hermione pushed her way through, and read the cast list.
TBC…
Well, now here's your chance to tell me who you think should get what part. Any of the names that you don't recognize are actual people from my school. I might have more people from my school, but, just because I put down a person auditioning for a part, doesn't mean that they'll get it. Some people I have in the cats, I didn't put down as auditioning. So, tell me what you think! I'm having a lot of trouble deciding who will play: Frank, Riff Raff, Rocky, Dr. Scott, The Narrator/Criminologist, the Phantoms, and the Transylvanians. Help me, please! Thanks! I need at least 3 phantoms, and at least 12 Transylvanians. The phantoms and Transylvanians can be played by some of the same people. I'm a little iffy on Rocky. I currently have Draco Malfoy down for that part, but if you think that someone else should have that role, let me know! Thanks again! I'll update as soon as I can!
