MAGICAL MUSIC

Harry watched and listened silently as the students around him chatted to their friends as they ate their dinner. Occasionally someone would direct a comment at him which he would respond to but other then that he didn't get involved in any conversations. As it was every night.

Contrary to popular belief that he didn't listen to anything at meals, Harry listened to all the conversations of the people around him listening for anything that might catch his attention.

"Who do you think it was in that room?" Ginny asked her friends.

"You're not still on about that are you?" Laura asked.

"Yeah, for all you know it could have been one of the ghosts."

Ginny sent her friend an unconvinced look, "Have you ever heard a ghost in this castle your sounds like that?"

"Well no but he didn't seem to want us to see him."

"Or we couldn't see him." Laura added.

"Look I just want to know who it is. He sure knew how to play the piano."

"Yeah so he's had a couple of hundred years to practise."

"Will you stop with the ghosts, please?" Ginny snapped.

"Fine but you can't rule out the possibility."

"Look Ginny just drop it." Laura insisted.

"Alright but I still want to know who it is."

"Fine we understand, just not now."

Harry tuned out of the conversation as it went back to the next Hogsmeade visit.

So she wants to know who I am. I'll have to be more careful next time I go to practise. Harry thought.

His attention turned to Dumbledore as the Headmaster called for silence while he made an announcement.

"I am pleased to announce that there will be a Halloween ball this year." A cheer went up through out the hall as well as groans from some of the less social people, like Harry.

"Everyone is to dress up for the ball using the theme of Muggle Movies, if you don't know any then I'm sure that you can find someone who does, and a prize will be given to the best costume. Also it is a masked ball so the masks will be removed at midnight. But may I remind you that self transfiguration is forbidden bellow 6th year. Thank you."

The headmaster sat back down and a buzz of conversation filled the hall as everyone started to talk about the ball.

Harry however finished his meal and left the room as quickly as possible then made his way to the music room to continue what had been interrupted earlier that day.

Ginny sat on her bed with her homework out in front of her, but she wasn't doing said homework.

She was looking over a list of people who had known her for the past 6 years and she was crossing out the people that she knew couldn't play an instrument to save their lives.

She had narrowed the list down to 17 people who it could be but she couldn't narrow it down any more.

She continued to go through the list for awhile longer before putting it on her small bedside table and going to sleep.

Harry was sitting in the common room having just finished his homework. Once a week he would write letters to his Godfather, Sirius and his Muggle friends. It hadn't taken long for his friends to work out that he was a wizard. They had known each other since they started primary school; his friends had always noticed the strange things that happened around him they had discussed it before he even got his letter. Harry had known that he was a wizard but he had hoped that he wouldn't get a letter then he could have gone to the music school like his friends.

But he had received his letter and he hadn't gone to the music school. He had argued with Sirius for hours about which school he would be going to but Sirius had pulled the "Your parents would have wanted you too," trick on him and he had given in.

His parents were permanent residents to St Mungo's hospital. Not that anyone at school knew that. He kept that fact to himself, he didn't want pity. Well Neville knew he had taken Harry aside in 6th year and they had sat down to talk about their parents as they were both in a similar situation, growing up with no parents.

"Hey Harry were going to go test out some of Fred and George's new sweets wanna come." Ron Weasley yelled across the room.

"Yeah I'll be up in a minute."

Harry finished the last of his letters then gave them to his owl, Hedwig to be delivered.

"So what are you going to wear to the ball?" Seamus asked the other 7th years.

"Not sure I don't know, I've never seen a movie." Ron complained.

"Neither, my Gran refuses to let me." Neville added.

"Haven't seen a descent movie since I came to Hogwarts, I send the holidays with my friends from home and don't have time." Dean told the group.

"What so none of you have seen a movie recently?" Harry asked them.

"Nope."

"Want some help finding a costume?"

"Sure as long as it isn't anything stupid." Ron replied.

Harry thought for a moment.

"Alright how about I ask you some questions then we can work out what movie character would match you." He suggested.

"Sure why not."

"Alright get something to write on."

Each of the boys went and found some paper.

"Alright, I'll ask you a question just write the answer and I'll look over them later and draw the character for you to see if you like the idea."

Harry proceeded to ask things like if the boys wanted to be hero or villain; if they wanted to go as a group or separate; Human or other; and if they wanted a certain hair colour.

When they had finished Harry took the sheets and the other boys continued their previous conversation while Harry looked over the sheets.

Alright that was a longer chapter.

It is a bit strange but this Harry grow up with Sirius and Remus in the magical world so he would be different but as he has Muggle friends I think he would have seen a lot of movies with his friends.

Anyway thanks for reviewing.
