Disclaimer: Snape and Hogwarts characters definitely do not belong to me,
Warner Brothers and JK Rowling own them though.
A/N: The last part of Chapter 3 is really choppy,that was because it was a transition scene. I'll try and make up for it here.The auditions are in chapter 4.
Chapter 4
Setting: The Auditorium.
After the meeting, it was decided that the students were going to do a piece called Joseph and the Technicolor Coat, by Andrew Lloyd Webber. According to Patrick and Julie, instructors from the Magical Drama Company, this musical was hugely popular with muggles, and it was derived from a Christian fable.
There were going to be auditions for the lead parts, and that was to be in a few weeks time. There was plenty of time to decide on how they were going to present themselves, and how to win the part. The lead role was of course, Joseph. The main character had to be able to carry his personality well, as Jacob's favourite son, his sadness, and his success with the Egyptian king.
He had to be charasmatic, heroic, and look the part for this character. After Joseph, there were the eleven brothers, the Jacob, then some other secondary characters.And of course the shagadelicious Egyptian pharoah. There were so many things to consider, the costumes, the production managing, the setting,making a drama production was an entirely new aspect for Harry,and boy, was he excited.
"Harry, do you think Fred and George are up to something?They're gone all the time, and its always to see Snape," Ron said thickly, chewing on a mouthful of chicken at dinner.
"Well, I think they may be trying to get revision pointers off him, that's what I do all the time anyway.Besides,Professor Snape's the best person for potions anyway," Hermione said in her would-be know-it-all tone.
"How would you know. You're the one that's half-scared of Snape, you wouldn't go a quarter mile within his range," Ron replied, then hacked, choking on chicken.Harry whacked his back twice.Ron came up for breath.
"Thanks, Harry. Say, isn't that---" Ron pointed weakly. Yes, it was. Snape had just got up from his seat after dinner and was about to leave the Great Hall when Fred and George appeared from nowhere and tailed after him. Percy shook his head, muttering under his breath, "Improper, those two, going after a teacher like that.If I was a teacher, I'd take fifty points.." ___________________________________________________
The day for auditions finally came. Ron was in the same state, clenching and unclenching his hands. Anyone going for auditioning had to stand before the pianist and sing in tune to the melody, which of course was the musical script for the production. Ron wasn't good at singing.Harry only found out about that fact when Ron went up for his turn.
"JOoooooOOOOooo-------seeeeeepph---(Everyone in the auditorium shut their ears at this point---he woz Jake's favorite son------oops sorry-OF OLLLLLL daaaaaa famolie-----jooooooooooosefffffff woz dee specholle won----
The pianist had to endure this for a whole 15 minutes and then decided that,perhaps, singing wasn't Ron's strongest point.Maybe, it was acting. And then, maybe he was wrong.
"Lalala, I'm a daisy in a cornfield(Fred and George snicker, meanwhile, Harry's got his eyes shut. Lalala! Such a pity, Joseph, that you're---erm--- trapped in this----eh---hang on a bit here..HOLE.I'd try to get you out, but I'm-er..too fragile-er..ha, ha, ha," Ron finished off, then smiled weakly.
Patrick put him in the lighting crew.Julie dismissed it as a minor disappointment, the lighting crew was actually the most exciting parts of acting, she said in her chirpy voice, and flicking her blonde hair Harry ended up as one of the brothers, Naphtali, and Fred and George were Judah and Isachar.Seamus Finnigan was Gad, and Dean Thomas, Ruben. The rest of the parts were filled in by people that Harry didn't know. Lavender and Parvati ended up in the make-up and costumes,and somehow, Professor Flitwick in charge of settings. Professor McGonagall turned up to do props. Professor Dumbledore turned up in fascinating costume, with matching staff and shoes,to be Jacob, Joseph's ancient dad.
"Harry, where's Fred?" LeeJordan had turned up to watch the auditions. "No idea, Lee, check backstage," Harry replied.
"I already have, they aren't there, well if you see them----fucking shit."Lee Jordan stared past Harry and at the huge mahogany doors. Frog- marched through the door, with gag in mouth and bondage, was the person that Harry had expected to see least.Snape.
