"Hey, Ginny, we're going to have band practice tonight at seven in the
second floor classroom to the right three doors down. Oh, and can you
paste these flyers around the school please?" Emily asked as she walked by
Ginny in the hallway. "They're the flyers for the audition. Ok, bye, see
you at seven!"
Ginny read the flyer as Emily ran off for her next class. It read:
Drummists Needed! Come for an audition to try out for a band tonight at 7:00 PM in the second floor classroom, third one on the right. Must be able to practice on Tuesdays and Saturdays, and anytime before a performance. Do not bring your own set of drums.
Ginny shrugged and started pasting the flyers all around the school. She was done with doing that and skipped off to eat a little bit of lunch.
"Hermione has informed me that you have a new friend," Ron said as Ginny sat down next to him. "And she's right, it certainly looks like it. Who is it?"
"I'm not going to tell for his safety. If I told you he'd probably had have a broken nose by now," Ginny replied. She gobbled up a sandwich and sped off to her next class.
That day, Ginny had Divinitation, Transfiguration, and Potions. Snape was still the Potions teacher. Ginny thought it must be hard for him to teach two subjects. But, oh well, he was smart. Ginny had always disliked him, but she still admired and respected him. She seemed to be the only Gryffyndor he liked. He always helped her without any rude remarks, but it seemed like he didn't want to admit that he liked her. Maybe he would loose his dignity, Ginny always thought.
Ginny was cramming to do all her homework before seven. Finally, seven came, and she grabbed her guitar and ran to the classroom. Emily and Anna were there and talking to some people about the audition. Ginny looked around, and found Draco.
"Why, hello Ginny, my dear," He said.
"Hey Draco. Are you trying out?" Ginny asked eagerly.
"Of course I am. Why would I loose an opportunity like this to spend more time with the lady I love?" Draco said. Ginny giggled, but then Lexie, Angel, Arnold, Gina, and Andy came up to her. Gina was a pale, black haired, glasses wearing, tall 2nd year Slytherin who was friends with the others. Andy was a 2nd year Gryffyndor who was friends with the others. He had light brown hair and eyes, and was average sized.
"Hey Ginny!" They said in chorus.
"Just one minute and I can talk to you," Ginny said pushing Draco over towards the bathroom. "It will be great if you could join our band. We could spend a lot more time together."
"Yea, that would be great," Draco said. He was about to kiss Ginny, when Ron stepped into the bathroom (it was the boy's bathroom).
"Ginny, what do you think you're doing!?" Ron yelled. He tripped and choked.
"Oh, no! Draco, help me! Hit his back or something!" Ginny panicked. She grabbed Ron who was red in the face and hit his back. He landed on the ground, coughing and gagging. As soon as he was over with that, he jumped to his feet and continued hi lecture.
"What do you think you're doing with Draco!? He's our enemy, for god's sake! You are not going to ever spend time with him! Never! I never want to see you near him, let alone kissing him! And that's final!"
"Oh, come on, Ron. He's fine, he's not our enemy anymore, our differences are cleared up, bla bla bla. You know he's not evil, so won't you at least give him a chance?"
"Ok, fine. Tomorrow, you can spend the day with him. But I'll be with you. Be on your best behavior. Now bed!" Ginny followed Ron to Gryffyndor tower and went up to the girl's dormitories. She waited until she heard Ron stomp off to bed, and she left back to the audition.
She arrived just in time for the audition to start. Emily, Anna, and Ginny each put on special earphones that made them the only ones who could hear what the drum sounded like. They did that so if they made a big mistake, nobody else would know about it.
Many people played, and they were not so bad. A few did absolutely horrible, and some were great. But they didn't decide until everyone had auditioned.
Draco was last. He came up to the drum set, and started fooling around with different beats. "Hey, Draco, can you play this beat?" Ginny said and handed him some sheet music. He studied it for a minute, and played it flawless. Meanwhile, the girls were discussing him.
"He's great, let's have him," Emily said.
"He's hott, how can we miss this opportunity to get to spend a lot of time with him?" Anna said.
"Yea, he's in our band. He's the best player. By far," Ginny smirked.
"Hey, Draco, you're in," Emily yelled. Ginny heard Draco mutter something like yes, and he came over to them.
"Practice is tomorrow, same time and place. Don't be late," Anna said. She and Emily turned and walked away with the rest of the crowd. Lexie stayed behind and sat in a corner.
"Hey, Lexie, why don't you leave?" Ginny asked.
"I need to talk to you," Lexie answered. She got up and followed Ginny out of the room.
"What's wrong with you?" Lexie blurted out as soon as they were alone.
"Just a mixture of depression and love, that's all. You'll understand when you're older," Ginny said.
"I need help. Arnold asked me out to the party on Saturday night. What should I do?"
"There's a party on Saturday night? Really? Where?"
"The room of Requirement."
"Thanks! Got to go, bye!" Ginny waved as she ran out of the classroom.
"But wait, what should I do about Arnold?" Lexie called out after her.
"Go with him. It'll be fun!" Ginny left the room and went over to Draco.
"I love you," She said and gave him a big hug and kiss.
"I love you too," Draco said as he returned the kiss.
"There's a party in the room of Requirement on Saturday. Want to come with me?"
"Sure, sounds like fun,"
"Be on your best behavior tomorrow for Ron. That means no kissing, or any physical contact. Nice polite conversation about how great my brother is and the weather. I'm sorry that Ron has to be with us,"
"It's ok. Anyway, it's a bargain to be able to be with you,"
"Oh, by the way, Harry's fine now, thanks to my talking to him. Or at least I hope so,"
"Told you,"
"Thanks so much,"
"You're welcome,"
"Want to do something before we leave each other for the whole night?"
"Yea, sure. Make out," And with that Draco kissed Ginny again.
"Besides that," Ginny said.
"How's it like to have to fight the Dark Lord?"
"Hard, but it gives you a good feeling that you're not doing bad, you're doing good. How's it like serving the Dark Lord?"
"Scary. If you do one thing he doesn't like, he kills you. You have to be alert for your life. It's not fun. I only did it out of fear of my father and the Dark Lord himself. But now that father's in jail and the Dark Lord is gone, I have nothing to worry about,"
"You-Know-Who has a son, don't forget. And the Dementors can leave Azkaban anytime and join the Dark Lord, and even help Death Eaters leave Azkaban,"
"I wonder who is his son,"
"And who's the mother,"
"Maybe someone almost as beautiful as you,"
"Yea, she probably then looks like a pile of-" Ginny stopped short because Mr. Mark walked in right at that moment. Draco pulled Ginny under the desk they were sitting on, and they watched him. He opened a closet that was locked and brought out some sort of strange instrument. It looked like a bathroom scale, but it was gold and had "Power" written all over it in diamonds.
"Uh oh, he really is a Death Eater," Draco whispered. Mr. Mark got on it and Apparated away.
"That was close," Ginny whispered as she and Draco emerged from the desk.
"I guess we should probably get back to our dorms before he catches us. Good night,"
"Good night. See you tomorrow under Ron's care," Ginny went up the steps as Draco went down to the dungeons. As soon as she was alone, she started skipping. Today was definitely one of the best days of her life, for it was the first day in a long time that she felt happy enough to skip.
I haven't been getting enough reviews lately, so review! I know you hate me, but still, review! It's not that hard. Come on! Review! Review or I'll, I won't read your story! There. Is that a good enough threat? Or should I just remove this story from the site and let you read better stories? Fine! Be that way! (!
