Chapter 14: Prove it to Yourself

A/N: First thing Shanm, I don't misspell everything. I sincerely apologize for the little small typos I've overlooked and sorry that you were annoyed. I do see your point because I get annoyed too when I see typos and mistakes, I am sorry if I offended anyone else for the 'Voldemort Voldemart' mistake, and sorry to myself because I just lost a reader. My friend told me that before but I forgot about changing it at ff.net. By accident I clicked into Dazmas 'Twin Shades of Gray' and found that a flame war was going on, started by a very harsh reviewer. At first I did find it really hurting and thought that, if I were the author, I'd really just delete that damn review. But after reading it again, I did feel kind of sorry for that reviewer, and started thinking, did my words offend anyone?

To be honest, it's really not easy writing a fanfiction, it may be even harder than writing an original, from the plot point of view. If you are doing the job seriously, than you would thinking about the whole ORIGINAL plot before proceeding to the sequel or whatever you're writing. It's not easy, if you don't want the whole story lame and suckky. You wouldn't want to offend anyone, especially loyal readers or viewers of the original piece. I for one, write fanfiction because I like writing, and I do want to be a writer one day, and I think writing fanfiction is one of the places to help me practice.

Sorry for the rambling, I'm an English Literature student and I say things when I like to, especially when expressing opinions. Just ignore it if you think it's junk and get on with the story itself!.

Sorry again if I offended anyone, especially those who thought my spelling was shit. (Sorry but I'm quite sensitive towards flames and criticism, and of offending anyone. Although I only received one flame, if you call it a flame, so far, still... I do take reviews seriously, and wouldn't like to get anyone offended, though I might have, without noticing.)

'Ginny, wake up, it's past noon already!' Evelyne pushed a heap under the red blankets, trying to wake up Virginia.

'Ginny is something wrong? Who cares if the Slytherins laugh at you, you tried your best.' Geraldine said, standing beside Evelyne.

'Come on Ginny, your going to sleep for two days straight if you don't get your butt out of the bed!' Adela smirked from her bed. She then hopped up and exited the dorm.

'Go away, let me sleep!' Virginia mumbled under the sheets, her voice muffled.

'Ginny! Your brother's been tramping on us since yesterday! We can't let him come in so it's better than you get out of the bed!' Geraldine pleaded.

'Fine.' Virginia said, but still had her head covered, 'just, just let me wash up, I've been in this bed for almost two days already.'

'Okay, as long as you get up.' Evelyne shrugged.

Virginia waited until the door was closed shut and the laughter started to fade away before she threw away the covers, pushing her long hair from her face. She sighed deeply and dangled her legs, rubbing her forehead. Damn headaches. She thought, standing up and walking into the bathroom. She careless splashed water onto her face and rubbed it with a coarse towel. She was still very tired, maybe because of all the thinking. She had purposely hid in her bed to avoid Lesley, she still couldn't face the truth she had burst out right in front of her, not to mention the insults and rumors from other students, Slytherins in particular.

She threw on a pair of jeans and a shirt, then on with her working robes. After buttoning them she racked her fingers through her wavy hair, cursing at the knots. Finally giving up she threw open the door then slammed it shut, but no one in the Gryffindor common room seemed to know about it because they were all laughing about something. Not wanting to interrupt, she just stood there, staring down at the crowded area.

Adrian and Gabrielle were sitting there, smiling and laughing with the others. It was obvious that Adrian had become famous ever since the audition, and Gabrielle had been tailing him ever since. They seemed to be paired up and everyone was talking about the audition.

'Gabrielle, when did you learn dancing? Did your sister ever dance?' Seamus asked, simply dazed by her beautiful smiling face.

'Well, I have been dancing ever since my mother taught me, my grandmother had also learnt how to dance because she was a Veela.' Gabrielle answered.

'How about you Adrian?' Lavender asked eagerly.

'Well, I guess I'm just naturally good at it, I did learn something about it when I was little, I think when I was twelve.' Adrian gave her a melting smile. It was hard to say who was gaining more attention these days, Draco Malfoy or Adrian Bradley. Both of them were superb in dance and had a drop dead gorgeous face, in the girl's opinion. Girls would blush when they passed by and some would even start to drool.

'I'm sure you too are going to get the roles, and Gabrielle you stand a very good chance against Pansy Parkinson.' Lavender declared, 'you have the looks and the skills.'

Gabrielle flicked her golden hair, 'well, it's fair competition isn't it? Although I would truly wish to win this opportunity.'

Opportunity? Virginia lowered her eyes, recalling Lesley's talk. Was this an opportunity that she was wasting, letting go? She didn't know.

'Ginny!' Ron suddenly cried, springing up to his feet, 'your finally out of your bed, is your ankle okay?'

Virginia walked down the stairs quietly and stood a distance from the crowd.

'Ginny I'm so sorry that you slipped at the dance floor, it was so embarrassing I can imagine it.' Hermione said sympathetically.

Virginia shrugged, 'it's alright, no hurt done.'

'You've been sleeping for a whole day! You call that okay?' Ron screeched.

'I'm fine.'

'You might want to go and see Madame Promfey.' Adrian said quietly, looking at her with ice blue eyes. Virginia didn't say anything, but just stared back at him, her face unreadable.

'Well, it's a pity, but surely you'd get a role at the back.' Gabrielle said, a slight hint of sarcasm in her voice.


Virginia turned slowly and looked at her, 'dancing isn't just because of a good face.'

Gabrielle lowered her eyes, 'as if you know very much about the sport.'

The whole room was suddenly quiet while Gabrielle glared at the redhead. Virginia closed her eyes, 'your right, I know nothing about dance, I'm sorry for the compliment Miss Delacour.' Without another word she bowed her head and headed for the portrait hole.

'Hey Gin, where are you going?' Ron called after her.

'Shag with Draco Malfoy!' She shouted abruptly before slamming the portrait shut.

'Oh my! Please be a little more polite young lady.' They heard the Fat Lady cry.

'None of your business!' Virginia shouted, her voice fading down the hall.

'She's kidding isn't she?' Ron asked, but only earned glares from his two friends and all the other Gryffindors.

_____________________________________________________________________________

Virginia opened the door of her working room, noticing that it had not been touched since the audition, indicating that Draco hadn't been here ever since. Probably basking in his own glory now. She thought bitterly, throwing herself onto the couch.

She was ashamed, truly ashamed by Lesley's harsh words. The very person who had put all efforts on her was disappointed, and she had not seen it at all. She had been a disappointment ever since her birth, no achievement what so ever, no outstanding reputation, nothing she could be proud of, not even her grades. No one knew her, and she wanted to stay like that, stay like that forever, and let go of the opportunity to prove to herself, to everyone else that she was the one who could be the best.

I guess I've never thought of being the best, so I never wanted to fight for it. Virginia thought, looking up at the ceiling. It was true, she had never had it, and had never thought of having it. And Charlie's disappointed at me too.

But everything was too late, there was no other audition and the whole school will go back to knowing her as the-littlest-loser-Weasley.

Virginia looked up at a knock and stood up as Snape opened the door. 'Professor.'

'I believe that you have used the facilities well.' Snape said in a low voice.

'Yes.' Virginia said automatically.

'And that you are cooperating well with Mr. Malfoy.' Snape continued, and to his surprise, Virginia nodded.

'We're okay, when we aren't threatening each other.' Virginia replied seriously. It was true.

'Very well.' Snape handed her a parchment that was black with a silver ribbon tying it together. 'Hand this to Draco, I won't be assigning you anything until this whole audition nonsense is solved.'

'Yes Professor.'

_____________________________________________________________________________

The Ministry Demands Achievement, the Three Schools are in Cooperation Once Again!

At Hogwarts a few days ago, Albus Dumbledore, headmaster of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry has finally announced that a theatrical dance and musical will be organized and performed at the Great Magical Stadium, the same one that held the Quidditch World Cups, and will be performed by students from Beauxsbaton, Durmstrang and Hogwarts.

This is the very first Muggle-Wizard Production ever in history, with Muggles being the organizing group and advisors. Lesley Chestwood and Spensor Soloman, muggles that are in chief directing of this huge production, says that this would be once of the greatest challenge in centuries, and will definitely be a success with the help of magic. 'I must say that Wizarding people learn and pick up much faster than us Muggles, all my students seem to have reached the standard of advance in a few months, which would have been impossible for Muggles, whom at least need to use over five years of training.' Said Chestwood.

Auditions and training will be held at Hogwarts and throughout the next six months, students from Beauxsbaton and Durmstrang will have the chance to stay at the school. 'I am exceptionally thrilled that Hogwarts has the chance to host this most grand event ever since the Triwizard Tournament.' Dumbledore says.

Rita Skeeter

Draco rolled up the parchment again and picked up his glass of pumpkin. Drinking it while staring out of space, ignoring Pansy's squeaky voice beside him.

'Draco!' Pansy whined, shoving him, 'aren't you listening?'

Draco scowled, 'No, I was just reading the newspaper.'

'I was saying, who would you think will get the two male leading roles?' Pansy repeated.

Draco shrugged, 'who cares?'

'You would care because you would likely get one. ' Millicent replied.

'So?' Draco snapped. He had enough to do already, why would he want to be in some lousy musical?

'Well, I guess I'm the only one who can be the female lead.' Pansy said, smiling slyly as she spotted Virginia walk into the. She lowered her eyes when Virginia started towards their table.

'Malfoy.' Virginia said shortly, tapping him on the shoulder. Draco turned and looked at her with cold gray eyes. She hadn't bothered to find her since Snape didn't have any assignments, even if he wanted to he couldn't because he knew she was hiding in her dormitory, for what reason he didn't know. Virginia handed him the parchment. 'Snape found me in the Medical Wing and he told me to give you this.'

Draco raised his eyebrows and took it, looking up at her suspiciously, 'you didn't read it did you?'

Virginia snorted, 'Why would I want to read something that Snape gives you, reckon it's a love letter.'

'Our Serpent King over here only gets love letters from hot girls, not slimy gits.' Hase said warily, looking at Virginia.

'You're sick Weasley, even worse than Granger.' Pansy said in disgust, 'Don't you ever socialize, or are your friends all cauldrons and books?'

'Yes, my own dear brother has already commented on that.' Virginia said coldly, glaring at Pansy.

'Oooo, so the Weasley even gets kicked out by her own family, lonely little Ginny.' Millicent jeered.

Virginia frowned at the comment.

'No no no wait,' Blaise's held up her hand, 'Poor little Ginny doesn't even have friends, and Harry Potter doesn't like the annoying little girl that tags him.' The Slytherins roared with laughter, startling the whole Hall.

Harry looked quite embarrassed while Ron wanted to charge forward and kill all of them, he would have done so if it weren't for Hermione almost jumping on him. The teachers haven't come yet and so the Slytherins were more daring with their words than usual.

'So, when are you gonna trip on your shoes at dance again?' Pansy sneered, 'made quite a good old laughing scene. Ever wonder if your brothers and father got embarrassed by the littlest Weasley?'

'Oooo, my dear Harry isn't going to like me anymore because I tripped and fell!' Montague said in a high pitched voice.

'It's no wonder you don't have friends, you're just disgusting as ever, even worse than your git brothers.' Millicent added.

'Mudblood lover.' Pansy muttered.

That was the last straw, Virginia felt something snap inside her and her heart was pounding with fury. She wiped out her wand and used the blunt head, sticking it right under Pansy's chin, causing her to scream in pain. The whole hall quiet down, the whole of Gryffindor were watching the usual mild Weasley in shock.

'Say that again.' Virginia said in a very low dangerous voice, glaring at Pansy. But the wand made her so painful that she couldn't make out a sound.

'Say that again!' Virginia commanded, pushing up higher, 'you were saying it quite loudly just a second ago, why not say it again!' her voice rising. Draco stared at her with slightly widened eyes.

'I'm tired with your little insults, I may not be that revengeful but still, I can be revengeful. If you ever say that word again, you are going to pay dearly, and I mean dearly. I don't have two twin brothers for nothing, and I have a few potions myself. If you don't keep your mouth careful in front of me, I won't guarantee that you'd get to keep this pretty little face long enough, maybe you'll get green hair and purple skin, lets see if you'll get so much attention then.'

Pansy was opening her mouth, as if starting to suffocate.

'Weasley, your gonna kill her.' Millicent said carefully.

Virginia glared at Millicent, then snorted and removed her wand from Pansy's chin. Giving one last look at her she turned and flounced down the hall towards the double doors. 'Get out of my way.' She shouted, making everyone jump, pushing Gabrielle, who was standing at the doorway with Adrian, away into Adrian's arms.

She turned the corner and ran out of sight, running all the way up to the Gryffindor tower, throwing herself onto her bed, tears streaming down her cheeks. I don't want to be useless! I don't!

But could she help it?

_____________________________________________________________________________

'Miss, very early you are.'

Virginia looked around, searching for the voice. A house elf was bouncing up and down, looking at Virginia nervously. She wouldn't blame him, students were rarely up and walking around at eight in the morning during holidays, there were three more days until school starts again and people liked to use the time they had to sleep, sleep and sleep.

'I'm sorry, are you still cleaning up or something?' Virginia asked.

'Yes Miss, but me almost done.' He said, 'Me was just cleaning studio, now it clean and sparkling for the announcement at nine thirty.'

'The announcement?'

'Yes, for Musical miss.' The house elf said excitedly.

'Oh.' Virginia looked towards the studio.

'Well, see you miss.' The house elf said, then vanished into thin air.

As if her feet were bringing her, Virginia stood in front of the doors, hesitating. Was she still fit to step into this studio, was she still fit to even be a dancer? This was ridiculous, she had thought this would be the best year of her life, but it was turning out to be a pure disaster. Shaking her head violently, she pushed open the doors and stepped into the studio, not surprised at all to see it empty.

She felt like dirtying the place, a place where dance was the most important thing of all. All this was for a person who loved dance, only a true dancer could have the privilege of using something so magnificent, so fantastic. 'And I don't suit this place, I don't have the right to anymore, do I?' she muttered bitterly. 'Lesley's right, I'm nothing but a disappointment.'

Dejectedly, she opened her locker door quietly and stared. Inside hung a lacy black outfit, stockings and high heels. Curiously, she took it out and a note fell from the hanger. She picked it up, reading it carefully.

Ginny,

Please don't be depressed about the audition, I know what your thinking, but please, whatever you do, you have to give it your best shot and prove to everyone that you can do it, not only to yourself, but to the people around, to your family, and to the instructor that had put so much faith in you.

We both trust in you, a little present of encouragement, put it on and prove it to yourself, you don't have to prove it to anyone if you don't want to since it may be too late, but at least, don't betray yourself.

Love,
Your brother Charlie.

Virginia stared at the note, a wave of indescribable calmness washed over her. Virginia raised it to the sunlight and stared, it was a standard show dance outfit. She smiled and grabbed the remaining accessory. It was still early, no one would know what she'd do. She didn't dare look at herself in the mirror and lowered her head while strapping the sleek black high heel dance shoes and curled her hair up with her wand. She drew aside the curtains and stepped onto the dance floor, her heart pounding. She stopped at the center and slowly lifted her head, her breath caught in her throat.

This, is me? Virginia thought in bewilderment. The lacey dance outfit was very low cut with a silk body, exactly the ones you'd see at those Latin dance competitions. It had a high fork that went up to the middle of her thigh and the thigh length stockings were plain black, matching perfectly with the high heel strappies. She unconsciously lifted her hand to her face, then smoothed the silk down to her waist. Taking a deep breath, she looked at herself hard, but all she could see was someone in a dancing outfit, but not fit to dance, staring back at her.

'No, this is not me, this is not me.' Virginia whispered, lowering her head. She was so lost, she was always lost, feeling nothing but misery, like the rest of her stupid stupid life. She wanted to just break down and cry, why was she doing this to herself, why was she letting this happen on her? This was so unfair, she was being unfair to herself!

'Dance to the music, believe in yourself.' A soft voice whispered in her ear. She felt a strong arm circle her waist, resting on her abdomen, the other slid down her arm and laced fingers with her, lifting it up. Virginia looked up and gasped, seeing Adrian looking at her in the mirror. He slowly rested his chin on her shoulder, burying his face in her neck. Virginia's heart pounded at his breath and could faintly hear music floating across them. 'To the music…' he repeated, then started to slide with her across the golden dance floor.

_____________________________________________________________________________

'I couldn't believe that Ginny would do something like that.' Harry said grimly.

'Come on Harry, Parkinson's a bitch, she deserved it all right.' Ron argued.

'But still, a Gryffindor…' Hermione sighed, 'I mean, I should have taken her to see McGonagal because of her threatening a Slytherin.'

'And let her take points from Gryffindor? You're nuts Hermione.' Lavender declared. The others nodded in agreement. What Virginia did yesterday had been the highlight of conversation, and some people were still recovering from shock, although some Gryffindors were silently cheering that someone had finally zipped the wretched mouth shut.

'But, I don't know, to be honest, Ginny wouldn't be that ticked off, Malfoy said things even worse before and she didn't mind.' Seamus reasoned, 'besides, Ginny's… Ginny, I think it's something else, maybe something because of the audition.'

'It was quite embarrassing that she fell right smack on her butt.' Dean added, 'and you said she's been dancing since third year. The others have been dancing for only four months and they're way better than Ginny.'

Ron shrugged, 'maybe she just isn't talented, but…'

'Is that music from the studio?' Gabrielle asked as she turned the corner, meeting the Gryffindors.

'I think so, who would be dancing at an hour like this?' Harry thought, pushing open the doors, then stopped, his eyes widening.

'What is it Harry…' Hermione followed and one by one their voices caught in their throats at the two figures in front of them.

_____________________________________________________________________________

'It's bruised.' Draco said flatly, holding the mirror.

'Shit.' Pansy muttered, rubbing the blue black spot under her chin, 'it's ruining my face.'

Draco rolled his eyes, 'it's just a little bruise, and it's under your chin, hell would know that it's there.' He put away the mirror and sat down. Pansy had been bugging him to take her to the infirmary and Draco suspected that she wanted to make Virginia jealous, but unfortunately she wasn't there, as she had expected, as the whole school had expected.

'Wonder where the bitch is, would have reported it to Snape if it weren't for you stopping me.' Pansy pouted, crossing her arms.

'Come on, you're not a three year old, it's stupid to tattle tale, besides, nothing bad has happened, just a little bruise.' Draco reasoned, 'nothing to fuss about.'

Pansy's pout widened and she hopped off the bed and sat on his lap, very bold in his opinion. She had a bad habit of thinking she was his girlfriend or something and Draco didn't really like it, and now he really wanted to just push her away. He winced inwardly when she circled her arms around his neck, resting her head on his.

'Sweet of you to bring me here, thank you.' Pansy whispered in his ear.

Well, I wouldn't have if it weren't for you bugging me over and over again. Draco thought. 'Could we please go back to the common room? I need to find Snape.'

'What? Again? With that Weasley again?' Pansy asked, jumping from his lap.

Mission accomplished. Draco thought in victory, standing up. 'It's my job, I'm just unlucky with Weasley, nothing special there.'

'Oh sod it Draco.' Pansy suddenly cried, feeling very angry, 'you have a thing for her, you're different around her, different than when you were before you got paired up with her. You don't insult her anymore, you just keep your mouth shut, you spend loads of your time in this stupid medical wing with Weasley alone, you don't even complain about Snape giving you extra work, if I knew better, you're actually enjoying your time with the brat!'

Draco ignored her and reached for the doorknob, opening it, he turned, 'you coming?'

Pansy stopped abruptly, suddenly feeling stupid about the outburst. Draco's eyes were narrow, dark and dangerous, like the Draco everyone knew, everyone expected him to be. Maybe she was wrong, or maybe not… Pansy nodded and hurried out of the door.

_____________________________________________________________________________

Is it really that obvious that I'm, well, on better terms with Weasley than before? Draco thought as they walked down the hall. He always thought that he was a good at disguising his feelings, and what Pansy said was starting to freak him out, she had no idea how shocked he looked when he wasn't facing her. It wasn't just because of reputation, but it was also because of something else.

Draco knew that Snape wasn't only on a mission to take Adrian Bradley to Hogwarts, but also on a mission concerning the death eaters. Snape had known long time that he had a Dark Mark on his forearm, that was why he always wore elbow protectors to cover it up. He wasn't exactly sure what Snape had been up to, but the words written on the Parchment had surely made his warning bells ring inside his head, loudly.

Draco,

Please be careful with Adrian Bradley, you know and I know that he's not good news, and being sorted into Gryffindor is something most unusual.

What I've gathered is, the Death Eaters are finding you and Potter. Potter is the most obvious target, but you are something not much people expect, since no one at school knows you're officially a Death Eater, except for me and Dumbledore. Don't let anyone know about that mark, keep it hidden or it will make a huge fright among the school.

Get the potion from the hidden cupboard if you need it.

S. Snape

Draco seethed at the sentence 'but you are something not much people expect'. Like he wanted anyone to pay more attention to him than Potter. It's just ridiculous that he would be a target of the Death Eaters when he, himself was already a Death Eater, unacceptable but a pure fact. He had suspected that it was his father that had ordered the capture of him, since he had left no note, no letter, nothing to his parents. He had felt guilty about leaving his mother alone with Lucius Malfoy, he really was, but what could he do? He really didn't want to be controlled by his father, all Lucius Malfoy wanted was his son to become the sidekick of Lord Voldemort.

And that is not what I would like. Draco thought. He clutched his forearm tightly, thinking about the nasty potion he had been putting on the stupid mark from time to time. The Dark Mark had sometimes made him in so much pain he locked himself in his room at Snape's house, howling in pain, like an uncontrollable werewolf. Snape had finally made a Potion that could relief the pain, but he too thought it was quite abnormal for a Dark Mark to torture its owner. It didn't happen much now, but from time to time, he would take it, just in case.

'Draco! Did you hear a word I've been saying?' Pansy whined.

'What?' Draco asked, turning away from his thoughts.

'I said…' Pansy stopped as a crowd rushed past them.

'Is it real? Ginny Weasley and Adrian Bradley? I thought they were going to announce the roles at nine!'

'Yes!'

'What is all the commotion?' Montegue asked, walking up to them, Millicent and Hase behind him.

Draco shrugged and walked through the doors to the studio, where a bunch of students were already there, deadly quiet. Pansy pulled him through the crowd to get a better look.

He went speechless, for the first time in his life.

_____________________________________________________________________________

'Wait – ' Virginia gasped as Adrian tightened his grip on her, sliding her across the dance floor to the soft music, the prelude to a very fast and upbeat Latin Dance Music, exactly the same one he and Gabrielle had done at the audition. Virginia looked at him the mirror, and he stared back at her, his lips extremely close to her cheek.

'Why hide yourself? Show that you can do it Ginny.' Adrian whispered.

'Show that I can do it?' Virginia repeated, lowering her eyes. Virginia closed her eyes slowly, feeling the music, the atmosphere. She took a deep breath, and that was when the music burst out.

It was like magic, suddenly she felt free, free and wonderful. Fresh, clean and herself, as if this was herself, no one could take it away from her, this was where she really belonged, here on the dance floor, dancing what she wanted to dance, dancing to her own will, to her own enjoyment.

Adrian smiled and pulled her towards him, then dipped her, her whole body leaning backwards, the skin on her chest shining in the sunlight, her hair bright. His hand slid up the side of her thigh and he leaned forward, looking at her. Pulling her back up he pushed her backwards, their steps in beat, hitting the floor with a crisp sound. He let go of her waist and Virginia left his arms, doing a solo that contained twists, turns and huge body movements. Her elegantly curled hair shone under the morning sunlight, her body was glowing softly while she turned, the black lacy dress billowing at her waist, revealing much of her upper thighs. The steps were simply sexy, elegant and breath-taking.

Adrian caught her again, sliding his palm up her stomach. Virginia unconsciously raised her arms and casually circled it behind Adrian's neck as they swayed towards the music, simply drunk into the rhythm. It was then that Adrian suddenly gripped her waist and lifted her up. Virginia leaned back and opened her arms, putting on her weight onto the strong pair of arms. The music slowly died down as she descended and Adrian turned her slowly, his face inches away from hers. They stared at each other until the music completely stopped.

'You're a great dancer Ginny.' Adrian said in a low voice, his breath hitting her face.

Virginia looked at him without a trace of embarrassment, like other girls would react, but just simply looked at him in the eye. 'So are you.'

They parted and Virginia gave a deep curtsy, her hair falling into her face, raising the side of her black silk dress. She was totally unaware of the stares, gasps, shocks and stunned looks until the whole studio suddenly burst into applause, cries and hoots.

Horrified at being spotted dancing in such an outstanding way, which was not to her expectation. I thought nobody was here! She turned and was even more terrified that almost everyone was standing there, including the Professors, Dumbledore, her father, Lesley, Charlie and…… Rita Skeeter!.

Damn I'm over. Virginia thought as Rita Skeeter's magical pen kept scribbling on her pad. Her smile was devilish and she was looking at her with sharp eyes, her photographer beside her, whom had obviously been snapping pictures of their dance. She's probably going to blare everything on the Daily Prophet or worse, Witch Weekly.

'Way to go Ginny!' some Gryffindors and Hufflepuffs shouted.

'Oh my God Ginny, I can't believe your that of a good dancer!' Geraldine shouted, clapping wildly with the rest, even Adela looked stunned.

'You must have fell on purpose at the audition!' Lavender declared, 'there's no way you would fall with skills like that!'

Harry, Ron and Hermione looked simply shocked, either because of her close contact with Adrian or the extremely low cut outfit, but she suspected the later.

'You look totally hot in that outfit Weasley!' Montague hooted sarcastically, along with some other guys who catcalled. 'Want to apply for a strip dance?'

Virginia simply ignored them, knowing that they just wanted to tick her off again. She noticed at the far end Draco was looking at her with an indescribable expression, he just stared at her, while Pansy was glaring at her so hard that she swore her face was turning into the shade of a tomato. Gabrielle seemed very unhappy as well, her dance partner dancing so closely with someone else, she could have been compared to Pansy, but she was trying desperately to maintain her posture and not clawing her hands and lunging at Virginia.

This was exactly what she didn't want, attention. Virginia sighed and closed her eyes, but jumped when Adrian drapped his cloak around her shoulders and smiled down at her.

'MARVELLOUS!' a voice suddenly shouted from the crowds. Lawrence pushed his way towards them and immediately jumped in front of Virginia, 'simply wonderful!' he exclaimed. He turned and gave Lesley and Spencer and huge grin, then started to circle Virginia. 'You are perfect, you have the figure, the look, the hair, the sexy feeling that I want for my script. You have the skills and the ability to create the atmosphere I need.' He snapped his fingers and turned to the two directors, 'I've made up my mind, she will be the female lead, she will be Gladys Winifred!'

All the Gryffindors shouted, deafening the whole hall. It was actually unbelievable, they would have never imagined that little Ginny would be the female lead in such an important production.

'Lesley!' Virginia protested, 'this wasn't the formal audition!'

Lesley just gave her a smile that gave out all her joy, 'this has been the best dance you have ever did, you are truly the best dancer here, no one but you could be this character.'

'But – '

'No buts!' Lawrence cried, then turned to face the crowd, 'I've made my final decision, Adrian Bradley will be Glenn Goddard; Ginny Weasley will be Glayds Winifred, and Chester Dwight will be performed by Draco Malfoy!!'

End of Chapter 14
