A/N: Here's Jack, who's my favorite of the triplets. He's Ron & Hermione's youngest, one of 3. (The next two are coming up soon!)
The talent contest--yes, cliché. Oh well. It's for fifth year students and up. The family members mentioned are the only ones left at school.
My deepest apologies for taking SO long to update. Chapter 25 is leaving me empyt-handed, and so taking up much of my PoL energy...but the next 4 are coming up, I promise!)
Jack Weasley
Curtain
All he'd wanted to do for his entire life was play music. His trombone was everything to him, and he didn't need girls or friends or homework or even family.
Or so he thought.
"Announcing next in Hogwarts School's Fifth Annual Talent Contest--Jack Weasley, on trombone!" Polite claps, but cheers from Kim, Lily, Hugo, Jenna, Sara, and even David and Ryan. It calmed his jittery stomach a bit.
Walking confidently out on stage. Sitting in the chair provided. The curtain goes up. The opening notes are played, and his family goes wild.
"JACKIE! JACKIE! JACKIE!" Lily yells, and then quiets thanks to a warning look from Uncle Neville. His cheeks are pink, but he's pleased.
And then the song ends, and he's barely made a mistake, and not even just his family is cheering now. He smiles delightedly and hurries of stage as the curtain drops, but not without a little bow.
And it's the same--every time he has a performance, it's his family who's cheering and clapping in the audience, if no one else. David and Ryan never fail to be there. An adoring Jenna follows him around sometimes after the curtain has fallen. All he needs is his trombone and his family.
Every time the curtain rises, he spots them first. And every time it goes down, he hears them last.
