It was the day of the auditions and Hermione was nervous, she'd done school productions before she'd come to Hogwarts, but she had never had a speaking role before.
Professor Mcgonagall stood up and spoke "Greetings students, I am so glad so many of you have come to audition! As was said you were asked to prepare a song from the play and sing it as a solo, if you are male you are singing 'Evermore' and if your female you will be singing 'Belle Reprise'. Good luck to everyone!" Everyone clapped and she then said "the first person to audition will be, Cho Chang!"
She stood up and started to sing and then another person after another. Hermione sat there waiting to go on till there was only two people left her and Draco.
He stood up and started to sing. Hermione stood there open mouthed "he's amazing" she mumbled. Ron was going red in the face because Malfoy was so good.
Then Mcgonnagall spoke again "Hermione Granger is the last but certainly not least candidate, please take the stage!"
She stood up and took a deep breath and sang.
As she finished, the hall erupted in applause, she'd done amazing, no extraordinary!
Draco was flabbergasted, she was an amazing singer she totally had to get Belle, 'let's just hope I get Beast' he thought.
The Next day the cast list was tapped to the entrance of the great hall, this is what it said:

"Hey Hermione! You're Belle! Well done! To bad Malfoy's Beast!" Said Ginny
"Hermione congrats on Belle!" Screamed Harry, pulling her into a hug.
"Thanks guys it means a lot!" Hermione answered tears swelling up in her eyes, she couldn't believe it! She had got it!
Then came a loud, thunderous shout "MALFOY GOT BEAST! I AM GOING TO STRANGLE HIM! AHHHHHH" everyone standing next to the Great Hall and everyone inside it all turned to look too see who was making this noise. It was none other than Ronald Billius Weasley himself.
Then Hermione felt someone touch her shoulder so she turned around and came face to face with none other than Draco Malfoy.
"Umm... H..Hermione, eh... con...congrats on Belle" he stuttered then blushed. Hermione was taken back not only had the Draco Malfoy called her by her first name but he had stuttered and blushed whilst saying it, this couldn't be right. "Thanks Malfoy, congrats on Beast." Hermione replied politely then turned around and headed towards her friends.
Draco entered the Great Hall and sat at the Slytherin table. He had blushed and stuttered whilst talking to Hermione. She had too know now. But she had replied calling him Malfoy. 'So maybe she dosen't return the feelings, wait she never has or never will, forget it Draco.' he thought to himself and then sat gloomily at the table having breakfast.
It was potions and Draco was still thinking about Hermione. He couldn't concentrate. He was supposed to be making Veritasserum but he couldn't do it, he was too busy looking at Hermione, 'man she's hot when she work's.'
Little did he know he wasn't the only one staring at the bushy haired women.
Blaise Zabini was staring at the girl he had liked for 3 years. 'She's so sexy, when she works' he thought to himself, he had an idea on how to get her he just needed a little help from a certain Slytherin.
A while later, Snape stood up and said "I am going to test Miss Granger's Veritasserum as she is the only one to have completed the potion" he then walked over to Hermione's desk and got her cauldron "Draco Malfoy, may you please take this potion"
