Disclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter, Linkin Park, vampires, or anything else oyu might of recognized. Please don't take my story or any of the text and claim it as your own or else. I only own Vlad and the plot.
::::: A/N: Thanks for reading my story. Please R&R, and long reviews will be awesome. Also if you have any questions, feel free to ask. :::::
Linkin Park
Eventually after a buzz started, Warner Brothers was interested and signed them to their label. Then "Hybrid Theory" changed their name to "Linkin Park" to avoid legal hassles with another band that had the same name.

Aorken: well I'm glad you have something to look forward to on the start of the week :P. school is definitely bad for your mental health, especially if the teacher does not do their job. I can't wait till I can go back and sleep and not care about school. The last music I heard 11 am of this Sunday, and that was Mozart.
Carry Out: the studio is already built, didn't I have Remus knock on Harry's door and told them that he had to go and that the room was built? Hmm I think I might have another clue as to who he is back in the Yahoo Group. I liked the intro on the music video more lol. Well I'm not gonna say it's a mental illness more like par say a struggle between morality and immorality...you'll find out soon. P.s. I also have a sort of good past life for Vlad, and it involves Harry. P.s.s. would I be Mozart and you Salieri?
Falcon Zanbandia of Nightmares: rofl of course. Do you still have the link to that? Since my comp crashed, I lost everything with no backups . , if you do please send it to me over AIM. Thanks. Lol you'll know when they'll perform, I think I'll mention a little something in either this or next chapter. But we just talked like 11 hours ago :-(.
Maya)-sleepy: you'll see ;). I have no idea why I'm keeping this all a secret...lol. When I have the Halloween chapter up, you'll find out if he chooses one or none. Ah you'll find out that most likely next chapter, I would have to say it might be a good ending or a good beginning.
Random fan of you story.: his name is spelled Marilyn Manson and those are not his lyrics. They're Depeche Mode's. Well if you look at it from this point; everyone was wondering out whom Vlad was, so they were reaching out to him and to Harry, Vlad is a bit of faith, his touch to reality. As for Ch31; "Feeling unknown" Harry felt like he was at a distance with Remus because of what they both are now and the LP guys with the residents in Grimmald Place, "you're all alone" well obviously Harry and the guys feel like they are alone in there.
Ecovyen: but that's all right lol. Yay lol. Takes a bow and curtsies Why, thank you.
Last Time
"Why hello there Harry, boys," Remus said kindly. "Well I have finished with the recording studio if you are interested. I have to go now. I hope I'll see you six later," Remus said closing the door.
"Thanks Mr. Remus/Lupin," the guys called out to Remus.
Remus smiled faintly when he heard that. That's a first time he's been called a 'Mister Remus' and hopefully it won't be the last.
"Harry what are Owls?"
"No um owls are a bird you know..."
"I know that, but I meant the one on your letter," Mike said rolling his eyes at Harry.
"Oh, O.W.L.s is short for Ordinary Wizarding Level's. And apparently I passed all of them with Outstandings' and Exceeds Expectations. That's odd I got an O for Defense Against the Dark Arts, Transfiguration, Divination, and Potions. Wait a minute," Harry said, as his eyes went wide as he read the parchment over. "I have an O for Potions? An O for Potions?!" Harry kept saying to himself slowly.
"Um I thought you said an O was good? What's wrong?" Rob asked.
"That means I get to go to Advanced Potions. I mean come on; I thought I did poorly on it, that's why I decided to audition for you guys, but I made it. Hopefully I'll be an Auror, but that means another two years with Snivellus...I meant Snape, not Snivellus," Harry said reassuring himself that he's not turning into his father or Sirius.
The guys just looked at him strangely.
"Well congrats than, mate," Mike said.
"Did you just say 'mate'? Harry asked laughing. He had never heard an American say 'mate' before, but not that he has, it just sounded too funny to him and it kept his mind off O.W.L.s.
"Er...I guess I did," Mike said.
"Anyways you two. I dunno about you two but the rest of us are gonna see how well Mr. Lupin has done," Dave/Phoenix said as the rest of the guys left Harry's room and into their own.
Harry and Mike stopped laughing as they found themselves by themselves and regained their bearings.
"Yeah, lets catch up to them, shall we?" Harry said as he and Mike went towards the guys' room.
"What the heck?" one of the guys said.
"What's wrong?" Harry said immediately.
"He didn't do anything!"
"I'm pretty sure he did. If you would just let me inside, thanks," Harry said.
Harry looked around the room and saw that it was indeed the same as they have left it.
"Oh well, maybe he went into the wrong room."
"No, I'm pretty sure that he didn't. Eww and will someone put their clothes away?" Harry said as he saw a pair of dirty socks.
"Oh sorry about that," Brad said as he slowly picked up the socks and opened up the closet door and then he backed away from the closet.
"What's wrong?" Joe asked once they noticed that Brad was just standing there, his mouth gaping.
"Look," Brad said pointing inside.
When the rest of the guys saw, it was one massive recording studio where their closet use to be. They went inside and explored the place. On the keyboard there was a note:
Dear Rob, Dave, Joe, Brad, Mike, and Harry,
I have cleaned out your closet and put your laundry in the basement, don't worry Mrs. Weasley will clean them for you. Also, I hope you boys don't mind if I put your recording studio in your closet, it just seemed more convenient that way and no one will be able to see the studio and raise questions.
I hope you enjoy your new recording studio,
Remus
"Wow," was all they can say.
Over the next week the guys and Harry spent about 40 percent sleeping, 15 percent eating, and 35 percent in the recording studio. During the whole time the guys completed recording Fuse, Stick N' Move, Rhinestone, and Reading My Eyes. They also finished some demos for Points of Authority, Crawling, Plaster (One Step Closer), Forgotten, By Myself, Esaul (A Place for My Head), and Part of Me. Also, for their EP, they started doing tracks for Carousel, Step Up, And One, High Voltage, Part of Me, and Technique.
During the last week of summer vacation the guys worked on the songs for Hybrid Theory (it took them a while to come up with a new band name, Hybrid Theory, and album title. But later on, they changed their band name from Hybrid Theory to Linkin Park for legal issues.)
5 Days before the start of term
Harry started pacing around his room when he was rehearsing. He was dreading the fact that he was going back to Hogwarts. Though he usually couldn't wait, this time there was a few hitches and he hasn't seen Vlad since that little scare he gave everyone a week ago.
McGonagall approached him just before dinner started.
"Potter a word please," she said briskly.
"Yes Professor?" Harry said confused and wondering if he did anything wrong.
"Don't sound too grim Potter. I'm here to congratulate you," she said.
"For what?" Harry said getting confused with each word that McGonagall said.
"Why didn't you read your Hogwarts letters?" When she saw the look on his face.
"For passing your Potions O.W.L.s and for making Quidditch Captain," she said.
"Oh," Harry said at first then he couldn't stop saying 'oh'.
"Potter you can stop now," she said getting a bit fed up with Harry only saying that.
"Sorry Professor," Harry said.
"No need to apologize," McGonagall said.
"No not about the 'oh's', more of the 'I'm going to have to decline in being Quidditch Captain'," Harry said looking at the floor.
"WHAT?!" McGonagall screamed. "Why Potter?"
By then everyone entered the room once they heard McGonagall scream.
"Is something wrong Professor?" Hermione asked.
Moody was looking around the place with his magical eyeball. Dumbledore's eyes seem to be twinkling in the dimly lit room. Mrs. Weasley gave McGonagall a glass of water.
"No Miss Granger, it's not me, it's Potter."
"What's wrong with the boy? He seems fine," Moody said letting his magical eye go over Harry, which Harry found uncomfortable.
"No, he- he-he- he quitted being Quidditch captain," she said in a sad and weary voice.
"WHAT?!" nearly everyone in the room screamed at Harry.
"Wait until Wood hears this," Fred and George said in disbelief.
"But why Harry?" Ron asked. He made it seem like he made the wrong move during Wizard's Chess.
"Well because, I seem to have my hands full and I'll still be Seeker, just not captain. You can give the position to Ron," Harry said sorrowfully. He really wanted to be Quiddtich Captain, but he knew that he'll never have the time to come up with new strategies, well not this year he won't.
"Aw but Harry, it's Quidditch!" Ron, Fred, George, and Ginny chorused a bit angry at him.
"Sorry guys," Harry said.
"Time for dinner everyone," Mrs. Weasley said trying to change the subject.
Everyone walked into the kitchen, including Harry, and began eating, in which Harry just drank some meat and a small amount of water.
Harry listened to everyone's conversations and gossip. The one that Dumbledore, McGonagall, and Moody were having far more interesting than everyone else's on-goings.
They were talking about having a band play for an opening in Hogwarts. That's when the little light bulb turned on, for an idea was forming in his mind.
Well what do you guys thought about this chapter? Well as you can see i'm trying to speed things up a bit here, sorry if you had gotten confused. It is now time to eat my uneaten cold food now...Take care now
