It was about a week later since Halli's club was open and things were, for the most part, going well. The girls were learning their instruments, while Daphne and Hermione were doing their best singing.
Hermione had a clear advantage due to her years as a choir girl, but Daphne was a good student.
Halli was giving them breathing lessons while also showing them how to sing clearly. The best ways to stand, how to project your voice, some throat exercises and some mouth movements to help enunciate properly
Lavender, Tracey and Pavarti had learns how to properly hold their guitars as well as how to tune them and a few cords. Tracey seemed to be more natural with the instrument while Pavarti was having slight trouble with the grip as she was left handed unlike the others but they were all getting there
Padma was taught what note each key made as well as how to use the electric keyboard to adjust the sounds in different ways
And finally they had a few new members. One being Susan's friend, Hannah Abbot, who was learning drums and was taking to it fairly well
"Sounding good, Hannah." Halli smiled
"Thanks Halli." She smiled
Halli nodded, looking around the room with a smile
Each of the girls were playing with their own instruments, Hannah was in one of the sound-proof sections of the room, making sure she didn't take too much noise.
There was, of course, some drama happened since the club started
There were a few people, who mainly were boys, who just came just to spy on the girls or to mess around.
To joke around, cause trouble. Use it as an excuse to goof around, stare at girls and be real pests...
Halli was not happy about that
So, there was a choice for them: Leave the music club or have Professor McGonagall come in and give them detention
After kicking their asses a bit
It was bad for those on the receiving end. But it taught them a lesson
The club of course had more members than this, but there was an unofficial roster for which year got the room when
Monday was for the 1st years
Tuesday was 2nd years
Going on in that flow.
Halli spent random days, however, in there since she was a professional
She needed to keep up her talent, she didn't want to let anyone down
And she was doing a lot of songs, need to keep her career going
Halli smiled proudly, watching everyone practise and show their improvement. Was this what her friends, coaches and mentors felt for her when she was starting? ... She rather liked the feeling
'Is this how Shoichi-Sensei, feels every day?' Halli smiled gently
"Hey girls." Halli called, clapping her hands and getting everyone's attention... She was clearly excited
"You're excited today. What's up?" Lavender asked
"I wanted to say you are all doing great!" Halli praised proudly, smiling "And... Halli has an idea." She giggled cutely
"What's your idea?" Daphne asked
Hermione was nervous, Halli was talking in the third person again
"We can have a performance at Halloween or before we break for Christmas!" Halli cheered, punching a hand into the sky as she closed her eyes and smiled
"A-A performance?" The girls asked, blinking in shock
Yeah most froze in shock
"What's wrong? I thought you'd be excited." Halli asked. "Oh...Is that too much for you at the minute?"
Her mood quickly switched to worried and shy, blushing
"Sorry, I...I err..." Halli apologised
"... It's okay." Tracey smiled
"Really? You're not mad?" Halli asked
"More...Surprised, than anything." Daphne answered
"We can try." Pavarti nodded confidently
"Yeah? You're up for that?" Halli asked
"I am." Pavarti nodded
"Um...How many people will be there?" Padma asked
"The school?" Halli blinked
"So...N-Not like a small starting audience?" Hannah asked
"..." Halli blinked in confusion, as she had never dealt with this sort of stuff before. She never planned the events, she just sang
"Halli...We're not confident like you. We...We can't just dive into a large audience like the ENTIRE school." Hermione explained
"And this needs set up to, some form of build up. Like a smaller facility with about... Just our year? Maybe half the year with sold tickets?"
"I...I guess. That sounds...Sounds alright." Halli answered, thinking that idea over. "... I've never dealt with that stuff before."
"Never?" The girls asked
"N-No...I'm...I was just told what to do and where to go. Shoichi-Sensei always handled these sorts of things." Halli admitted
"As well as my past managers. I sometimes say if I want to do a certain event and they ask me my opinion on dates and such, but they deal with the booking and planning and set up I just do the singing and dancing."
"And you didn't mind that?" Daphne asked
"No." Halli shook her head. "It's what I know."
"... How long have you been an idol again?" Hermione asked
"... Since... I was about 8." Halli nodded after a few seconds of thought, remembering
"Eight?" They blinked in shock
"You've been doing this since you were only eight?" Daphne asked
"Yep!" Halli smiled "It's why I'm so popular! ... And also why I'm not an actor or 'proper' musician yet." As she said that last bit she pouted
The girls saw her enthusiasm and followed pout. "What's to say 'proper'? I mean...if you can sing-" Tracey asked
"I'm an IDOL." She stressed "I AM a singer but... It's a 'status' thing is the best way I can describe it to you. Like... The difference between a security guard and a police officer? No, no, that's not it." She was now frowning, having trouble with how to explain it "Idols are seen more as a... A gimmick. Yeah people love us and our music but we aren't 'official' singers until we have... proven ourselves? I think. It is tricky."
"So it's like...being a 'singer-in-training'?" Lavender asked "You're a garage-band singer before being picked up by a record label."
"I guess that is a good explanation." Halli nodded
"Right...Okay. So...The tickets and half our year." Hermione spoke
"I'll organise everything." She assured
"YOU'LL organise everything, Hermione?" Halli asked with a surprised blink. "Are you sure?"
"I'm sure. I'm quite good at this sort of stuff." Hermione nodded "And if I need help I can ask Professor McGonagall."
"Thank you, Hermione." Halli answered
"So...When is it?" Daphne asked
"... I think before Christmas break?" Lavender suggested "Gives us a good amount of time to practice."
"Good to know. It'd give people something to talk about over the holidays." Tracey joked lightly
"Should we practise some of your songs, Halli?" Hannah asked the 'teacher'
"Yeah, okay. Sounds good. I'll make some copies." Halli answered "And get the music sheets for your instruments."
"She IS the professional, it makes sense." Daphne agreed
*Elsewhere*
Draco Malfoy sighed as he signed the paper in the news board, getting a placement for flying lessons
He wanted to learn how to fly a broom, properly. No 'state-of-the-art' child brooms for him.
Yes, he knew his father bought basically 'self-flying' brooms to inflate his ego... His mother did not let that happen
She wanted her child to let Draco learn the right way: trial and error. She may have been a little hard on him, but she loved him.
'... Can I be called a he though?' he thought bitterly... When he smiled fondly, remembering Halli and her kiss
'She...She was my first kiss.' He thought happily, though with a bit of embarrassment
'Dang it, why is this so weird?' Draco asked and sighed
'She is so cute and the kiss tasted so good but...' he was interrupted by a black haired girl, hugging him from behind
"Hiya Dracy-kins!" Pansy Parkinson, his marriage contract forced fiancée, cheered with a smile as she hugged him tightly
"Hello, Pansy." Draco scowled, keeping it hidden from her.
Pansy had short black hair, black eyes and looked kind of like a pug.
It was clear she would grow into her looks. She wouldn't be a 10 out of 10, nowhere near a knock out but still fairly attractive. However Draco found her annoying
"What's the matter, Dracy?" She asked cutely, using her pet name for him
"Get off." He frowned, pushing her arms off him "I have a headache."
"Oh. Is there anything I can do?" She frowned, pouting a little.
"No." He frowned, knowing what she'd do
"Fine." Pansy pouted. "What're you doing now?"
"I need to get my homework done." He sighed
"Want me to help?" Pansy asked
"Alone." Draco answered, going to his room.
"Awww! But Dracy-kins!" She cheered eagerly
"Alone. Pansy." Draco answered, going to his room and closed the door behind him
Pansy groaned, punching his door angrily
'Damn it!' Pansy frowned.
"Hey, did you hear about Malfoy defending Potter?" A random student said to another, going down the stairs
"Yeah, I did. What the fuck's up with that?" A second student answered
"Beats me. Maybe he wants to get her in bed?"
"Oh jeez. If that's the case, it's probably a step down." The second laughed
"Please, you'd do her if you could." The first laughed
"Only if she has better tits." The student answered
"Have you seen her?" The first frowned "She's flat as a board. But she is rather cute and kinda sexy in a weird way."
"Yeah...Good point." The second answered. "...Cuter than some of the girls here."
"And she can sing, I am sure she gives great head." The first joked
"Yeah, that old saying." The second laughed, imagining Halli sucking his dick
Pansy was overhearing and was getting pissed
She grumbled and clenched her fist. She wanted to slug those two idiots in their faces and beat up Halli for being around.
Heck the idea that HER 'Dracy' wanted to be that ditz made her pissed
'I won't let him. Dracy WON'T be ANYTHING like her!' She thought, biting her thumb nail. 'He is MINE!'
*Elsewhere in the castle*
Ron was currently sitting on his arse, holding a letter he got from home.
He was in trouble
It was a red letter. A 'Howler'.
For those of you that don't know, a 'Howler' is an enchanted letter that houses all the vocal outrage in writing form and is repeated out at the intended.
He got screamed at for ten minutes straight
It was brutal.
He rubbed his eyes and frowned. He was in deep shit.
And now someone had to 'fix his shit', whatever that meant
'Wizard god...What the fuck am I supposed to do?' He thought bitterly.
'This is that stupid girl's fault.' he thought, hating Halli
"Hey, Ron...Err...You doing okay?" A Gryffindor asked, after coming back from hiding from the howler.
"Fine." He grumbled
"Oh...Okay." The student answered. "S-See you later. 'Kay?"
Ron nodded, huffing
'What the hell am I gonna do?' He thought
