Omega: hey I do still have one exam to go: English, but that's going to be
a piece of cake after all those Hp stories I've read (… I think there are
going to be two maybe three other chaps. I'm not sure, because I haven't
really figured out yet how I'm going to put Ron and Herm together.
Good luck with your exams!!
Tujunga: thank you ( I did indeed mean with wzzp; what's going on
I hope I updated it fast enough for you(
Lilygurl: I'll do my best, but as I just told Omega. I'm not quite sure how I'm going to put Ron and Hermione together.
Rosa: Thanks for reviewing again. I'm so glad you like the story. My last chap didn't really have an evil cliff hanger, but I'm not sure if I can say the same for this one. I just have to see how it goes. In this chap we finally see them perform!! Yeeh!
Disclaimer: oops I completely forgot to put one in the last chap, but I think you know by now, that I don't own any of the characters or other things…
Chapter 7: The Dress Rehearsal
Everybody looked only more curious at them now, but most of them decided to go back to their meals and leave the boys alone. They would find out soon enough anyway.
Ron wished that he could disappear right there. He didn't like being the centre of all the attention like that. He would be glad when it was all over and forgotten.
When he had finished his lunch, he followed his brothers to the third floor. He didn't have to follow any classes more today.
"Okay people. Dumbledore just gave me our costumes, so we could check if they were all the right size and model. Than we are allowed to go to Hogsmeade, where we have to buy some microphones, which we can attach to our faces, so we don't have to carry them all the time.
There is supposed to be a shop where they can make them."
"Yeh, I know that store. It's called: La Forge's wandmade Muggle equipment."
"Right, let's first try on those costumes."
The costumes prime colours were red and orange that really brought out the colour of their hear. They all had different kind of robes. Each one with it's own special features, which made them look very handsome.
(a/n: I'm not really good a describing things, so I leave the rest to your imagination. Or you have to have a good idea, which I can use)
"Cool!" said Fred excited, while he looked into a mirror. "I can't wait until tomorrow! Oh and speaking of tomorrow, we have our dress rehearsal at twelve o'clock. Did you know that Lee is going to host the show? Dumbledore asked him a few weeks ago, but he just told me today. He knows everybody who's going to perform. I'm curious to found out, who Dumbledore has hired."
The following morning, Ron woke up very early. He hadn't slept very well, because he was quite nervous and excited. He truly hoped that everything would go okay and that he didn't make a fool of himself. Realising that he couldn't sleep anyway, he stood up and took a long shower. When he had finished the other boys in his dormitory started to wake up too.
"Good morning all!" "Good morning Ron." Harry said. "And are you nervous for tonight?"
Ron looked at him suspiciously, but decided not to say anything. It was obvious to everyone by now that he and his brothers were going to perform. "Yes, a lot unfortunately! Oh I hope that everything is going go well." "I'm still not sure about what you are going to do, but I expect that it is going to be great. So good luck and I'm sure you can do it!" Harry said smiling. "I hope so." Ron said smiling back. He was glad that Harry respected his secrecy and that he wished him luck. He really was going to need that tonight.
He waited until Harry got dressed and together they walked towards the second floor to have some breakfast.
When they had almost finished, Hermione walked up to them. "Hmm Ron could I have a word with you? It will only take a sec." She sounded a little insecure, but still looked him straight in the eye. "Sure."
"I really am sorry about the things I said. I don't know what got into me, you know.. it's just that you.. you can make me so angry some times, I don't know why." She said, while tears started to stream down her face. "I hope you can forgive me. I of course understand if you can't, but I …… you… you just mean to much to me…. And I don't want to let our friendship go away, because of some stupid quarrel. You have to believe me. I don't know what you are going to do tonight, but I just want you to know that you have my full support and if.. if there's anything that I can do, just say so alright." She let out a long sigh, before she continued. "And… and if you don't want me to… I'll …………" There was a short pause, while she gathered her thoughts. "I won't go to ball with Viktor." She blurted out.
"Ron stared at her. She was willing to do that for him. He was tempted to say that she shouldn't go, but realised that he wouldn't accomplish anything with that. He looked into her eyes and saw her remorse. God, how he wanted to kiss her right now. But he knew she didn't want him to. So he just hugged her tightly and whispered: "You can go with Vicky, I don't mind. But if he is mean to you just say it and I'll knock him back to Bulgaria!" "RON!" Hermione exclaimed, but still laughing a little. "Come on, let's go back to breakfast, before people start thinking things." Ron looked at her at this, but her face looked expressionless. Damn, Ron thought. I wouldn't mind if they started thinking stuff, I only hope that they'll have a reason to think like that soon.
It was finally twelve o'clock and with his clothes and microphone on, Ron felt more confident in himself. Maybe it was also due to the fact that Hermione and he had finally made up and spoke to each other again. Lee Jordan announced them excellent and the rehearsal went really well. They finally found out, who the other professional performers were: Pink, Artful Dodger, Brainpower (Dutch rapper, who totally rocks!! Margot this one is for you:) and . They would all sing a few songs. (if you don't like any of them, just think of your favo singers, they aren't all my favourites too. I don't think I really have a favourite singer, although the ones I have called are pretty good)
They opened their performance with 'Everybody' and ended it with 'You showed me' (I'm not sure if that's the right title, maybe it's 'Perfect fan' or 'Mam'. I'll look it up. I have to go to library tomorrow so I can hire their last CD Black and Blue, so I can put together an .. hmm.. how do you say that… repertoire (?) something like that??). Lee Jordan and all the other students who helped to decorate the room, where very enthusiast, to the relief of Ron.
He had just decided to go for it and not to bother about the opinion of other people like Draco.
At the end Dumbledore had even shown up and had said that he was very proud of them.
Their performances tonight would be from 10 O'clock until eleven. So from eight until about 9:30 they would just go to the dance. Fred and George didn't have a date, but Bill and Charlie had asked their girlfriends to come over. Their parents would come too, but they would only be there when they performed and because they were asked by Dumbledore. Ron would go with Ginny, who was pretty excited. She didn't really care that she had to go with her brother. As long as she could see Harry, dance and watch the performances. Her mother had made a beautiful blue dress for her, that matched her eyes and made her look very pretty. All the girls in her dormitory were jealous at her, because she was allowed to go and they unfortunately hadn't have a date.
Their dress rehearsal lasted until two o'clock. Ron felt completely ready. You can do this. Just show everybody that you are at good at something. That couldn't be that hard, could it? Fred had promised him, that they wouldn't tell anybody that he had wrote the lyrics, but he wasn't sure if he could trust him. He was still a little embarrassed about those, because they were kinda personal. Some of them he had just made up and hadn't anything to do with his live, but were just some wicked creation of his twisted mind. He had to smile a little at this. God, knows that he probably wouldn't experience most of them, at least not yet. He was glad though that the song he had written for his mother was also in their repertoire. He hoped she liked it. He was most worried about the songs, which he had written with Hermione in his head. On the one hand he wished that she'd never find out that he had written his feelings down about her like that, but on the other he wished that she did know, at least than she'd know his true feelings about her. Well he just couldn't worry about that right now, he had far more important things on his mind, like remembering all the dance moves and his lines. Who knows, maybe he would get black out. That was really his worst nightmare. In fact he had dreamed about that last night. He it really wasn't a pretty sight. All the teachers, students and ghost had laughed and pointed at him and had yelled: "See, I told you so. Ron Weasley is a nothing without his friends! He is even too stupid, to remember his lines!!!"
Ron pushed away the dream and followed his brothers to the second floor to have some late lunch.
Okay People next Chap - The Yule Ball!!
Rosa: I told you they would perform, I just didn't say if it was a dress rehearsal or not! ;p
God I'm cruel!! And I like it!!
