Chapter 2 The Successful Audition
The next morning Harry woke up feeling excited. He had been preparing for his audition for 3 hours yesterday. Ron woke up.
"Good morning Harry" Ron said.
"Good morning Ron" replied Harry "Are you excited about marching band orientation today?"
"Blimey I forgot it was today" said Ron, who was turning red with embarrassment.
"Yeah I got my audition today also." said Harry
"Cool are you nervous"? Asked Ron.
"Actually I am ready for it, when I was nine my uncle Vernon made me practice until my lips where numb." explained Harry. "Anyway I'm hungry lets go to breakfast."
"Okay I'm hungry too." agreed Ron.
As soon as Harry and Ron walked into the common room Hermione was behind them.
"Good Morning Boys" said Hermione.
"Good Morning Hermione" said Harry and Ron in unison.
"Right, so are we going to breakfast or not" asked Ron Impatiently "I'm starving."
"Honestly Ron, you are always starving." said Hermione.
And with that they went to breakfast.
The trio walked into the great hall and sat down at the Gryffindor table. They served themselves and began to eat when Professor Dumbledore stood up.
"Just a reminder to all students who signed up for the marching band." Professor Dumbledore began "Now students should report to the great hall at 12 noon today for orientation. Students will be fitted for Uniforms, receive music. Students who signed up for Section Leader. Auditions will be held by Professor McGonagall after breakfast. That will be all." Professor Dumbledore sat back down.
Harry was the first one to finish eating and rushed back to the common room to warm up for about 10 minutes, then oiled his valves.
After breakfast ended harry walked down to the great hall with his trumpet. Surprisingly he was the first one there. Professor McGonagall greeted him.
"Hello Potter, sit down and relax for now section leader audition will start in ten minutes." She said. Five minutes later about ten more people came in. Malfoy finally came in with his trumpet and sat down. The auditions began.
"Alright I will begin with the flutes and piccolos first." said McGonagall. "Granger, Hermione"
Hermione stood up and walked into the room. After 10 minutes she walked out crossing her fingers and smiling. Half an Hour later McGonagall finally got to the trumpets.
"Potter, Harry" said McGonagall.
"Mr. Potter, how long have you been playing trumpet." Asked Professor McGonagall.
"Five years" replied Harry confidently.
"Okay play me your G major scale." said Professor McGonagall.
"Okay this is easy" thought Harry.
Harry played the scale perfectly with no mistakes.
"Okay play me your Ab major scale." said Professor McGonagall.
Harry played the scale with no mistakes just like the first one.
"Okay play me your chromatic scale." said Professor McGonagall.
Harry played from low G to High C# with no mistakes.
"Thank you Mr. Potter the results will be up by orientation."
Harry left the room and stayed in the great hall for orientation. Hermione sat next to him.
"How'd it go" Hermione asked.
"Brilliant all that practicing paid off." Harry replied. "What about you?"
"Very well I was actually the only flute player with a piccolo." Hermione said.
Draco walked out of the audition room exactly at 12:00 and the orientation started. Harry just got finished getting fitted for his uniform when he saw Professor McGonagall was posting a piece of parchment on the wall. He quickly ran with 15 other people to go see the results. Hermione saw her results and she ran over to him excitedly and was completely freaking out.
"Harry, I got flute/piccolo section leader." said Hermione who had tears of joy in her eyes.
"Congratulations" said Harry as he hugged her.
"Thanks, I'm going to get my music now. I'll see you back in the common room." She said excitedly. She went over to the music table and picked up the cream colored envelope with her name on it and ran to the common room. Harry wanted to see how he did but couldn't because there was ten other people in the way. He sat down and waited for awhile because he knew he couldn't get his music until he knew if he got section leader or not. After what seems like forever
people started to move out of the way. Harry got up and went to the results.
(A/n Cliff hanger the next chapter will have the results)
