"Hermione? Wake up! Hermione!" Ginny yelled.
"What? What happen?" I said with my eyes barely opened.
"Hermione! Thank god you're awake. It's 2.50pm!"
"Sooo...?" I said not remembering anything.
"The auditions are at 3pm! Don't you remember?"
"Oh my GOD! I'm going to be so late!" I finally realise.
I quickly jumped out of my bed and combed my hair. After combing I quickly ran off to the Great Hall with Ginny. On the way there...
"Ginny, why did you go back to the dorm?" I asked.
"Well, I ran up to get something and when I went in I saw you sleeping. What happened?"
"Erm... nothing. I just felt tired and slept." I lied.
"Okay..." Ginny said half-heartedly.
By the time they reached the Great Hall, they were the last few in line. Many students, especially girls were in the front line hoping they would get the main lead. Another student, Linda Brooke was chatting excitedly but loudly with her friends on getting the main lead.
"That's Linda. She's in the same year as me and she is one stubborn and self-centered girl." Ginny said.
"Before I went up to the dormitory, she was blabbing at the fireplace about how sure she would get the female lead. A little brat if you ask me." Ginny continued.
"Maybe... but why does she want to get the female lead?" I asked curiously.
"Word just came in that Malfoy's the male lead." Ginny said upset.
"Sooo....?" I asked again.
"Linda has always been crazy in love with Malfoy. She dreams of kissing him everyday!"
"Yuck." I exclaimed.
"And I overheard Linda asking McGonagall about the play Romeo and Juliet and I think it has one kissing scene I think." Ginny said doubtfully.
"Yeah, there is one kissing scene at the end of the play. That figures why she is so excited about getting the play." I said. "And I think if I'm correct, Malfoy has no interest of Linda, but she thinks that Malfoy is head-over-heels in love with her." Ginny said.
I grunted.
It was 3pm sharp and Prof. McGonagall went up to the stage.
"Thank you all for coming. We will go in this order, Seven years... six yrs... fifth yrs... and so on. The girls will go first and the boys will be last. Seven years girls, please proceed to the stage immediately." Prof. McGonagall said and stepped down.
Immediately, all the Seven years girls went up and said a few lines and those with the most expression would be picked as Juliet. Then the Seven years boys went up and said a few lines.
Next, the Six years were been called and I went up the stage. Lavender practiced first and since I had already read the novel on Romeo and Juliet, I knew how to perform. Next was my turn and I said it with lots of expression.
After my turn, a few other girls performed and it was the boys turned. Harry was up first and he performed it quite well, I supposed he has seen how the play was done before. Ron on the other hand was disastrous, he could not express himself at all and was stammering the whole way.
The six years were up and Linda of course. Put on her best performance and for once I thought she was quite good with her expression. Ginny was definitely better than Ron of course. And on and on went the audition until the first years. After all the auditions, Prof. McGonagall went up to the stage again.
"I have seen many talented people in this audition. Pity, I can only pick one girl to be the Juliet. I have chosen....."
Linda kept her fingers crossed.
"Hermione Granger!"
I was so surprised. Ginny ran up and hugged me and a few other students came up and congratulated me. Only and only Linda glared at me with burning expression in her eyes.
She had to leave with it I thought.
After the audition which ended at 6.30pm, many students went back to the dormitory. The girls went back to freshen up and the boys... chatting away.
At 7pm, all the students went down to the Great Hall for dinner. When they reached the Great Hall, the hall was changed back to its usual form of chairs and tables.
Many students crowded around me congratulating me.
I felt very happy but I did not know that I was going to regret it later....
At 7.30pm, the students were clearing up and leaving, going back to the dormitory.
Suddenly, I felt water been poured on my face. I quickly wiped the water away and saw who the culprit was. It was Linda. Her eyes were filled with burning expressions.
"You bitch! How dare you take my Draco away from me!" Linda cried.
A few students around managed to hold her back from trying to attack me any further. Prof. McGonagall and Prof. Dumbledore immediately went down to the scene of the crime and Prof. McGonagall gave Linda detention and removed 20 points from Gryffindor for abusive language and attacking a school prefect.
I knew that more harm was going to come and today was just the first.
I quickly ran to the dormitory and slept even though it was only 8pm. I started sobbing in my bed and Ginny quickly came into the dormitory and comforted me.
"Hermione, don't cry."
I cried even more.
"Come on, everyone is worried about you."
I cried still.
"Look, what Linda did was wrong. She should not have did that."
"Ginny, I really regret it now, you know. I should have put on a lousy appearance and this would not have happened to me. I can't imagine what life I'll go thru tomorrow."
"Hermione, you always told me to look on the bright side. So why can't you?"
"It's not as easy as you think."
"Everyone is worried sick. You have to be strong and show Linda that she can't triumph over you. You are a school prefect, you can give her detention if she ever does that again."
I felt a little better and managed to say...
"Thanks Ginny, tell the others not to worry, I'm fine." I wiped my tears away and pretended to be strong so that the others would not have to worry.
"That's good Hermione. If you want to sleep, go ahead. I'll tell the others that you're fine and sleeping." Ginny said.
"Thanks." I said and slept. Even though I told Ginny and the others not to worry, I know that I will always live to regret this day.......
