"Harry! Harry! It's up! The list, it's up on the board! Come see, quick!" Ron shouted from the door to the boys' dorm. Harry groaned.
"It's too early, Ron. Maybe later, I'm going back to sleep," mumbled Harry as he rolled over in his bed.
"No! Come and see now, Harry!" Ron whined like a child. He ran into the room and grabbed Harry by the back of his shirt. Harry tried to stay in the warmth of his bed by clinging on desperately to the posts on his four-poster bed, but Ron was too strong. He soon had Harry out of bed, and was trying to hurry him into getting dressed faster.
Finally, 5 minutes later, Harry and Ron arrived in the Common Room to find there was no point in rushing, as they couldn't get anywhere near the board because of the large crowd surrounding it.
"Never mind, eh, Ron? We'll come back later!" Harry headed back towards the dorm room, but was caught by Hermione as she entered from the Girls' Rooms.
"Ron, Harry, I never got a chance to talk to you after the auditions yesterday. How did it go?"
"It was alright, but you never told us you weren't going to audition!"
"Yeah, we only did it 'cos you said you would!"
"I never did anything of the sort!"
"You did so!"
"I most certainly did not!"
"Did so!"
"Did not!"
"Okay, children, let's not fight over little things, shall we? We'll talk it over like adults, okay?" Harry said diplomatically. Hermione and Ron folded their arms and scowled at each other. "Hermione, why didn't you audition? Ron, don't say anything," Harry warned as Ron opened his mouth to argue.
"I didn't audition because I'm not allowed. No, listen! I'm not allowed to audition because I'm helping write it! Boy, are you in for some surprises!" She chuckled, seeming to remember something. "Hey, look, the list's free." They went over to the notice board, and inspected the notice posted there.
"Yes!" screamed one of them.
"No!" yelled the other.
