Harry Potter and the Scottish Play
Chapter Fourteen: The Final Cast
The immense crowd that had already gathered at the South Hall when Hermione, Harry and Ron arrived was overwhelming. They slowed their pace as they anxiously saw Hogwarts students turn away disappointed, angry and some even in tears. Discouragingly, only a few had walked away from the cast list grinning.
The first of those happy wizards and witches that the three friends spotted was that of Draco Malfoy's. "Figures," Hermione grumbled. She dodged the Slytherin's oncoming remarks and squeezed her way into the crowd to have a peek at the list for herself. After much uncharacteristic pushing and shoving on her part, she stood in front of the parchment that was posted onto the South Hall board.

Hermione didn't know whether to cheer out loud or scream in disgust. She was happy that her and all her friends had attained a role but she was to play Lady Macbeth opposite Malfoy's Macbeth? She headed back to her friends where Draco was still taunting them of his leading role.
"What a shame, I'm sure you'll all get parts in next year's production," he sneered. It was obvious to Hermione that Draco hadn't even looked through the list. He simply saw his name at the top and left to gloat at them.
"As a matter of fact, we all have roles in this year's but thanks for your offer," Hermione replied coolly.
Ron and Harry looked at each other with wide grins. "We got in??" Harry exclaimed. Hermione smiled. Even Ron couldn't hold back his excitement.
"What's our parts??" Ron questioned impatiently.
Draco, who hadn't left the group, smirked. "Yes... what roles DID you get? The lowly servant? Or perhaps one of the ugly witches?"
Hermione met his stare and defiantly answered him. "Actually, I'm Lady Mac-" and caught herself in time. "I'm playing opposite you," she concluded. "And Harry is playing Banquo. Ron, he's got the role of Duncan. All three very prominent characters I hear."
The three Gryffindors could almost see the smoke coming out of Malfoy's ears. Draco was beyond upset. His father had promised him that they would not make it into the play. The Slytherins were supposed to dominate the production. It was a given! What with the director and producer both being from the Slytherin House. With one last huff, Draco stormed off towards the Great Hall in hopes of exchanging words with his father at this apparent injustice.
"I can't believe we got in..." marveled Harry. He was still in a state of shock. "Who else got a part?"
Hermione listed off the names she could remember. Ron was extremely proud of Ginny for getting one of the roles and the three were happy that their friends Seamus and Neville got a role as well.
"Oh! I almost forgot, you're going to love this Harry but guess who also got a role??" Hermione asked with a suspicious grin on her face.
Harry scrunched up his face. "Who?" Before the words left his mouth, he groaned. "Oh no, not Colin!"
"And his brother Dennis!"
Ron, who had sauntered off to look at the cast list for himself, returned. "Wow, looks like the majority of the play is all Gryffindors and Slytherins."
Harry became insightful. "I wonder if that had any of Dumbledore's doing. I'm sure Malfoy didn't voluntarily put all us Gryffindors in, as evidenced by Draco's reaction."
