"Everyone, Welcome to the 1st annual Musical Auditions for the students! I hope you all enjoy their performances. As you all already know, respect is to be shown to the performers at all times. Anything other than that is cause for immediate detention. Thank you all and now lets get the show on. I expect all of the auditionees are prepared. When I call out your names, you are to come and perform. We will start with the Ravenclaws, and then on we will go to Hufflepuff then Slytherin and at last Gryffindor. Cho Chang!"

Cho got up and silently made her way to the stage, obviously nervous. Hermione started clapping and then the rest (except the Slytherins, of course) started. They needed to make Cho feel more confident. When she got next to, but not on the stage, she shrugged off her robe. She was wearing tight pink denim Capri's and a white belly T-shirt. She then walked up the small set of stairs onto the stage. She then proceeded to the microphone and flicked her wrist, with that some music started, and she began to sing.

"Lying here on the floor where you left me

I think I took too much

I'm crying here, what have you done?

I thought it would be fun......"

Everyone was listening to her pretty, ---but certainly not amazing by any means, amazing---voice.

"......I cant stay on your morphine

Cuz it's making me itch,

I said I tried to call the nurse again,

But she's being a little bitch,

I think I'll get outta here......"

Cho sang on, and when she was finished, everyone clapped nicely and sat back to listen to the rest. Nine more Ravenclaws got up and sang, then it was the Hufflepuff group. There was nothing to say other than 'BLAH SOMEONE GET ME THE FUCK OUTTA HERE' for every one of their performances and most of the Slytherin's as well. Malfoy was okay, but certainly not something to dote upon, which Ginny, being the faithful girlfriend that she is, did anyway. Hermione thought that pleather hot pants were really a bit too much. It was then time for the Gryffindors' turn. Hermione tummy felt like it was populated by about twelve thousand butterflies, well actually butterflies make her feel happy, better make it bats then.

"Rosko, Jhenna." Called out McGonnigall. The sixth year with black hair stumbled onto the stage. She was a bit chubby, but any idiot could tell that it was just a small bit of baby fat. She wore a crimson wife- beater tank top that hugged her almost perfect figure. She also wore a long black skirt with a slit that was a bit high on her thigh (hey! that rhymes! I'm a spaz! Btw:) and black combat boots. She looked feminine in an ass kicking way. She then began singing a depressing song. Ron was absolutely dumbstruck, Jhenna had an awesome voice! And it expressed the suicidal point to the song so well.

"I tried to kill the pain,

But only brought more,

I lay dying

And I'm pouring crimson regret

And betrayal

I'm dying,

Praying,

Bleeding

I'm screaming,

Am I too lost to be saved?

Am I too lost?

"My god,

My Tourniquet

Return to me salvation,

My god,

My tourniquet,

Return to me salvation,

"Do you remember me?

Lost for so long

Will you be on the other side

Or will you forget me?

I'm dying,

Praying,

Bleeding,

I'm screaming

Am I too lost to be saved?

Am I too lost?

"My god,

My tourniquet,

Return to me salvation

My god,

My tourniquet,

Return to me salvation,

"My wounds cry for the grave,

My soul cries for deliverance,

Will I be denied?

Christ

Tourniquet

My suicide."

The song ended and everyone clapped. 'She may be obsessed with death' Hermione thought, ' but she has a really good voice.' Next up was Ginny. Harry was grinning as Ginny shed her robes to reveal very revealing Leather tank top and tight leather bell-bottomed pants. She proceeded with her turn by singing "Dirrty" by a muggle artist called Christina Aguilara. It was a frightening sight to the girls and after the job was over, the only guys who weren't trying to hide the fact that they were saluting were the teachers (who weren't "Saluting" to begin with) and the boys who had raced to the bathroom in a desperate attempt to save house points.

After that fiasco and a few more 6th year Gryffindors, they continued to the 7th years. "Potter, Harry" Harry reluctantly made his way to the front of the auditorium as slowly as humanly possible. Five minutes later, Harry had finished his song and Ron was headed up. Then Neville, then Dean, then Seamus. The girls went up and almost everybody decided to leave during Parvati and Lavender's numbers.

"Granger, Hermione." Hermione slowly rose from her seat and shuffled her way over the knees of her friends. She then proceeded to the stage, where she took off her robes to reveal a pretty black corset with red ribbon tied in the back and tight, yet loose, black jeans. Her hair wasn't bushy, but full and it fell over her shoulders in rich creamy browns.

"Every day is so wonderful

And suddenly it's hard to breath

Now and then I get insecure

From all the fame, I'm so ashamed

"I am beautiful, no matter what they say..."

Snape was looking at Hermione with desire hidden well within those deep pools. 'Yes, Miss Granger,' he thought, 'you are, indeed, beautiful, but I'm not going to be nice to you just because of that. Hell, I doubt that I can be nice to anyone, at least, not of my own free will.' He smirked. Harry saw him and began whispering hurriedly to Ron.

"Did you see that? Snape just looked at Hermione!" Ron nodded his head.

"Well yes, Harry, people tend to do that when she's up on stage singing. Your not exactly the brightest crayon in the box, are you?" Ron replied, clearly irritated.

"He just smirked at her, like he was thinking of an evil plot. Ron, I didn't like it." Harry said.

"It doesn't matter if you don't like it or not, six and a half years at Hogwarts has taught me to not meddle in other people's business, especially when that 'people' is Snape. Just forget about it Harry. There's no point in getting a detention for nothing at all. Now shut it and watch Hermione!" Harry said no more. He knew that when Ron snapped he was irritated, and he was a force to be reckoned with.

"You are beautiful no matter what they say,

Words won't bring you down,

You are beautiful in every single way,

Yes words won't bring you down,

Don't you bring me down today.

No matter what we do

No matter what they say

When the sun is shining through

Then the clouds won't stay

And everywhere we go

(Everywhere we go)

The sun won't always shine

(Sun won't always shine)

But tomorrow will find a way

All the other times

We are beautiful no matter what they say

Yes, words won't bring us down

We are beautiful no matter what they say

Yes, words can't bring us down

Don't you bring me down today

Don't you bring me down today

Don't you bring me down today."

Hermione ended the song and made her way off stage. She had never sang in front of anyone but her mirror at home and was siked to have put out such an excellent performance. Everyone was standing and clapping, that is everyone except Snape and a few select Slytherins, but that was to be expected.

A/N: Sorry for such a boring chapter, there'll be more in chapter four. A Friend and I will be co-writing a fic and publishing it under her Pen Name, which is MatrixMutt-Snape. She loves him almost as much as I do...oO? Anyway....
