Chapter 5: Let The Tour Begin!
They entered the hall cheerfully. Inside they were met by the manager of the tour, Steve Morgan and three of the four other bands who introduced themselves as Dark Spirit, Liquorice and Don't Hold back. Dark Spirit was made up of Dave, Jamie-lee, Lex and Jack, Liquorice was made up of Jimmy, Ben and Alex and Don't hold back was made up of Lizzie, Dallas, Ellie and Taylor. Moments after the arrival of The Bolts the final group, Blood Rush arrived and introduced themselves as Tom, Drake and Rick.
The band practice went faultlessly. They performed some of their song and Steve and his assistants Madison and Dan helped him give advice and ideas to put to the performances. They were also measured by Darla the costume designer and asked various questions about what types of clothes they would prefer so she could work on some outfits.
At the end Steve came over to The Bolts.
"I've been talking with Madison and Dan and we had an idea!" He told them "Saph would you like to do a solo type piece? Naturally the others would back you…"
"Yeah that would be great I've never done a solo piece before me and Harry tend to sing together!" Saph said excitedly
"Ok well I think I've got a good song –My Immortal by Evanescence. Here are the lyrics and the music, have a try and see what you think we'll discuss it tomorrow!" Steve said handing over the sheets
"Ok!" they'll agreed
They were walked back to Grimmauld place by Lupin, Tonks and Moody again. When they arrived they headed straight for the kitchen where Mrs. Weasley had put on a Roast dinner for them saying they would need it after a hard days work. Harry and Matt were telling a curious Ron about the practice. Saph who was sat next to Harry was watching Tonks who was doing her nose performance for Hermione and Ginny. Tash and Jay were arguing over something or other and the members of the order were tucking in making conversation between themselves.
After Dinner they were all ushered out of the kitchen because they were about to have an order meeting. Harry led the way to one of the larger living rooms and sat down on one of the two seated couches and Saph sat down next to him. Across the room Hermione and Ginny took another couch and Jay and Matt the other and Tash and Ron took the armchairs.
"Got to admit in some way the Garage is comfier with the bean bags!' Tash said
"Yeah" Matt agreed and its own fridge
"But we didn't have butterbeer!" Jay grinned "That's stuff delicious!"
Harry laughed as Saph cuddled up to him. Hermione raised an eyebrow.
"How come a Garage was more comfy?" Ginny asked
"We had it set up with all out equipment and there were four huge bean bags and a sofa in a kinda semi circle" Harry explained "and Tash Covered the walls in pictures of us too!"
"Oh" Ginny said "I was thinking of dads Garage at home"
They sat around talking for a while before deciding to turn in.
"Don't I get a goodnight kiss?" Saph asked as the boys said good night to the girls and headed to their separate rooms
"Maybe" Harry grinned
Saph pulled him closed and kissed him passionately on the lips. Before heading towards the bedroom door. Harry laughed at the expressions on Hermione, Ron and Ginny's faces.
"Did I forget to mention Saph was my girlfriend?" Harry grinned
"No I think you may have forgotten that detail…" Ginny said cheekily
Harry stuck his tongue out and entered the boy's room followed by Ron whose mouth was hanging open and Matt and Jay who were laughing.
The next few days passed in a similar way. They decided to do the Evanescence song as an extra cover. As the date of the first concert drew nearer The Bolts took a bit more time off to practice after tea. The morning before the last day of practice a large important looking owl appeared through a window in the kitchen scaring Matt, Jay, Tash and Saph to death despite the fact they knew owls carried post. Harry laughed and took the letter of the owl and realized with a jolt these were their Hogwarts letters! That meant owl results! He passed the letters out and took his own and opened it.
Dear Mr. Potter,
Here are your owl results and a list of the levels you require to carry on the subject next year. Please will you decide which subjects you wish to take and send and owl back before the July 31st. A book list is also included and you only need to buy the books for your subjects.
As you may know Last years Gryffindor Quidditch captain has left Hogwarts and we believe you would be a suitable replacement now your life ban has been lifted. I know you have other things happening this year so perhaps if you take the position you can elect a deputy to carry out any practices you can't attend. Please send your answer with the return owl along with your subject choices.
As usual term begins on September 1st and the Hogwarts express will leave as normal at 11.00 on the dot.
Professor M McGonagall
Deputy Headmistress.
p.s The headmaster is wondering if you would like to continue the DA this year as a proper class again please send your answer by return owl.

Harry looked up astounded
"What does it say?" Saph asked
"I've 10 owls!" Harry grinned
"Well done Harry!" Hermione said opening her letter
"Are they the exams you were on about?" Tash asked puzzled
"Yeah like muggle GCSE's" Harry explained as Hermione squealed
"I got 12 Owls!" she screeched
"Well done Mione!" Harry grinned "How about you Ron?"
"I got 8 Owls!" Ron grinned
"Well done!" Hermione screeched
"Well done!" Mrs. Weasley screeched
"I'm also Quidditch Captain!" Harry grinned
"Really?" Ron asked excitedly
"Yup" Harry grinned "and your Deputy Quidditch captain! McGonagall says I need a deputy to do the practices when I'm busy! I've chosen you!"
Ron's mouth fell open
"Really?"
"Yup!" Harry grinned just as Ginny Screeched
"I'm a Prefect!"
"Well done Ginny that's all the family!" Mrs. Weasley said giving her a big hug
"Hem hem!" George said giving a very accurate impression of Umbridge
"What about us?" Fred asked
"Are we in this family or not?" George commented
"Ok well perhaps not all the family…" Mrs. Weasley said
"Well done all of you. You better write your letters back then we have to be going" Lupin said cheerfully
Harry decided he was going to take Charms, Transfiguration, Potions, Defense against the Dark Arts, Care of Magical Creatures and Herbology
After they finished writing and Mrs. Weasley had sent of the replies to McGonagall via the rather elaborate bird Harry, Saph, Jay, Matt and Tash headed of to the final practice.
The day of the first show dawned bright and sunny. They headed down to breakfast. Mrs. Weasley had done a splendid job of cooking a full English breakfast with eggs, bacon, sausages, fried bread and tomatoes extra. And even a vegetarian version for Saph and Tash. They ate hungrily then Harry produced some tickets out of his pocket.
"I've got some tickets for the show this afternoon! Anyone interested?" He grinned
So Ron, Hermione, Ginny, Fred and George, Lupin, Tonks and Moody headed off to the Hall. They had a last minute rehearsal (for which the others had to wait outside) they had lunch together from the canteen before The Bolts were ushered off to hair and make up and then off to costume for the finishing touches while the others headed to get their seats on the front row of the stadium. The Bolts headed to the stadium in a limousine (despite the fact it was only 5 minutes away) soon enough they were behind stage.
"Right Lizzie, Dallas, Ellie and Taylor your up first remember Enjoy yourselves!" Steve told them as the announcer yelled out 'please welcome don't hold back!'
The bolts didn't have long to wait before it was their turn. After don't hold back had performed their first to songs it was there turn.
Saph and Harry were having a 'good luck' kiss and Tash yelled at them to get a room as don't hold back came back stage.
"It's great!" Lizzie said excitedly "Just ignore the crowd and it's just like a normal practice!"
The Bolts were announced and they came on stage and began playing Welcome to my life. The crowd was going wild and Harry caught Saph's eye as they sung. Harry could see Ron's gob smacked face in the audience and he nearly laughed. He was having the time of his life.
"We're now going to play a song called Waiting by Green day!" Harry announced over the screaming crowd.
I've been waiting for a
long time
For this moment to come
I'm destined
For
anything...at all
Downtown lights will be shining
On me like a
new diamond
Ring out under the midnight hour
No one can touch
me now
And I can't turn my back
It's too late ready or not at
all
I'm
so much closer than
I have ever known...
Wake up
Dawning
of a new era
Calling...don't let it catch you falling
Ready or
not at all
So close enough to taste it
Almost...I can embrace
this
Feeling...on the tip of my tongue
I'm
so much closer than
I have ever known...
Wake up
Better
thank your lucks stars...
I've
been waiting for a long time
for this moment to come
I'm
destined for anything at all
Dumbstruck
Colour
me stupid
Good luck
you're gonna need it
Where I'm going
if I get there...
At all...
Wake
up
Better thank your lucky stars...
The crowd went wild again and Harry grinned as they headed of stage passing Blood rush who were going next.
"That was amazing!" Harry said they all agreed
they sat back stage listening to the other groups Saph was sat next to Harry holding his hand they sat in silence for a bit before they were joined by Drake and Rick from Blood Rush and Lizzie and Dallas From Don't Hold Back.
"Its amazing out there" Drake said running his finger threw his blond spiky hair "I can't believe the crowd!"
"Yeah it went great!" Dallas said taking a swig from a bottle of coke "everything's sounding good!"
"I can't wait to get back on stage" Tash agree and everyone else nodded
Soon enough they were joined by Liquorice then Lizzie and Dallas and also Ellie who had joined them headed of to find Taylor ready to go back onstage to perform the next four of their songs. Once they had gone Dark spirit also joined them. Harry and the Bolts took this as their cue to go prepare to get back on stage.
"Please welcome back The Bolts!" The announced yelled
The came back on stage and set up.
"We're going to sing My Immortal by Evanescence next!" Saph yelled down her microphone.
She began singing and Harry began playing the song on his guitar as Saph sung. After My Immortal Harry him microphone and announced the next song Broken wings.
They were enjoying themselves and before them new it they were singing Spellbound (or the Dementor effect) and then finally Demons and Angels (another song of their own) then it was time to get off stage.
"Saph you were great!" Harry said hugging her
"Thanks you were too" she said
"But your version of my immortal was amazing! I have never heard you sing like that in my life you were fantastic!" Harry smiled
Saph blushed and Harry pulled her into a kiss. Before they headed over to where Tash was yelling at them to get a room.
"Shut up Tash" Harry said sticking his tongue out "Or I'll go up on stage and announce to the world that you cheated on that Mick bloke with his cousin"
Tash pulled a face "he wasn't worth it anyway"
The others laughed. After Dark Spirit had sung they headed back on stage for the final act where they wee all going to sing a song together which was written by Steve before the curtains closed and they came back stage where Steve, Madison and Dan had put on a little back stage party. After ten minutes they were joined by Hermione, Ron, Ginny, Fred, George, Lupin, Tonks and Moody
"You were amazing!" Ron said awestruck
"Thanks" Harry grinned
"You really were!" Hermione agreed
"The best!" The twins nodded together
"Awesome" Ginny grinned
After the Party they headed back to headquarters they headed up to the boys room where Jay produced a huge bottle of diet coke and a bottle of vodka with some glasses. He passed round the cups and the Bolts drank up having a laugh cheering their success. An hour and a bottle of vodka later Hermione, Ginny and Ron came up to find them. Harry and Saph were on Harry's bed kissing, Jay, matt and Tash were having a loud conversation about chickens.
"Er sorry to interrupt" Ron said
"No probs" Tash said picking up a new bottle of vodka "Come join us we were just celebrating"
Hermione was watching the pair on the bed kissing passionately
"Have you all been drinking?" She asked
"Yeah want some?" Jay asked snatching the bottle of Tash
"No thanks" Hermione said giving Ron and Ginny a look that clear said if you accept I will tell your mother. "Its bed time"
"Aww well" Matt said "hear I'll split the love birds up "
He pulled Saph of Harry
"Bedtime" He said
"You sound like my mum…" Saph said grumpily
Harry just gave an attempt at an evil glare "Were not even that pissed yet…" He sulked as the girls left the room.
Matt rolled his eyes and jay staggered over to his bed
"Good stuff that is" he said "You should have seen Harry when he drank a whole two bottles to himself" he told Ron "Couldn't even stand let alone walk straight he tried to kiss Saph and missed and ended up kissing a lamppost!"
"Well nighty night" Matt said turning of the light.
