And I've read all 5 and seen all the movies. And im DYING for the release date for Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince!!!!!!!!!!!!! Ek ok. Quote:

(this one can be found of page 643 of Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix)

"Did you like question ten, Mooney?" asked Sirius as they emerged into the entrance hall.

"Loved it," said Lupin briskly. "'Give five signs that identify the werewolf.' Excellent question."

"D'you think you managed to get all the signs?" said James in tones of mock concern.

"Think I did," said Lupin seriously, as they joined the crowd thronging around the front doors eager to get out into the sunlit grounds. "One: He's sitting on my chair. Two: He's wearing my clothes. Three: His name's Remus Lupin..."

ok! SKIP THIS PART IF YOU JUST WANT TO READ THE CHAPTER!

Thankyou's and so forth

DerryBabe- Simon Cowell and Draco Malfoy. Hmmmmmm Somehow they've GOT to be related!!!! Men thicker than Ron? Oh wow. I feel sorry for you!

Hello- I do intend on finishing it. If I loose my motivation I can just watch The Sound of Music DVD that I bought for my mom, (not knowing that I was going to be in the play at my local children's theatre only 9 months later!) So I guess you could say I was a fully developed, healthy, Sound of Music baby, by the time I auditioned.

FreeSpirit- You don't sound lame, you just sound like (my version of) Professor Flitwick!
Well of COURSE Draco auditions! IF MUDBLOOD GRANGER CAN AUDITION, THEN SO CAN I! (in the words of Draco)

Empress of Cats- I AM continuing soon! 12 hours after I posted chapter one and two I am beginning to write the third! Thanks to my slew of reviews!

MeredithAnn- I'm not a big fan of Snape, but him directing, now I find that keenly amusing!

Takker- OOO THANKYOU!!!!!!!!! Before I wrote this story I checked to see if there were any like it. There were no Sound of Music spin off's but there was a Rocky Horror Picture Show though! OOOO YAY WELL WRITTEN!!!!!! TEN BOTTLES OF HAPPINESS AND CHOCOLATE FOR YOU!

Blackiebrens- I hope this update is soon enough for you! So I hope you can wait!!

Katrine- HAPPY FACES!!!!! Did you buy any of my happy bottles?

Padfoot Gone Girl- your screen name makes me sad WHY OH WHY!!! Sadness. But thankyou SOOOOOOO much for reviewing. Yes, Ron does need contacts! MORE! Yes im typing as fast as I can!!!

HarryGinny4ever- I'm not usually a Hermionie Ron person. But I have accepted the fact that they r meant to be! But then if I pair together Ginny and Harry then I guess I would be one of those OBHWF people (one big happy Weasley family), which I find weird. I honestly don't know who Harry is destined to be with? Maybe there will be a new girl in the 6th book! AH I CANT WAIT FOR THE 6TH BOOK!

Major Actress- im not going to spoil the cast. im thinking I will reveal the cast in the NEXT chapter ahahahA!

Celebrian Lossenhelin – im not usually a Ron Hermione shipper either! But it is meant to be in the eyes of JKR so yeah. HORRAY FOR THESPIANS! I was in the play SOM this spring/summer it was awesome, I still keep in contact with a lot of the teen cast. I love it. I cant afford 2 do another play this fall SADNESS! They are doing bye bye birdie! And I wanted to be in that SOOOOOOO BAD! But I am going to go see that, and Alice in Wonderland a billion times! Ive seen it once and the set is all out! Its amazing. So I will be ok. Maybe I could afford one spring of 2005? Hopefully.

Spezlee- well I sure do hope it is interesting!

Hermes- I will probably reveal the cast in chapter 4, but I might stick in some foreshadowing. But you probably wont understand the foreshadowing unless you have seen The Sound of Music (or have been in countless rehearsals and 16 shows, as I have)

Evenstar of the undyinglands- I ramble a lot to, but since I am writing in Word, I can edit my rambling!!!! I will keep writing! This is one of, if not my most favorite story that I have written! I have way too much motivation for this story.

SexySlytherin Chick- THE NEXT CHAPTER IS RIGHT HERE! IN FRONT OF YOUR FACE! AHAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!

Noubliz- Your name is Naomi? KICK ASS! That makes me happy! Yes Ron is super oblivious, as always. What is even better is that Hogwarts is doing a musical that I've been in! (West Side Nunz for LIFE!)

lianghwei- I can not imagine Ron singing edelweiss! My friend Brandon (who was one of the 2 Captain's when I was in Sound of Music) sang it perfectly every time! Brandon is my own personal Josh Groban! I m completely in love with his voice!! Ron, most likely, cant sing thou.

OK! THAT TOOK A WHILE! On with my genius

Chapter Three of Harry Potter and The Sound of Music: How do you solve a problem like RON?

During the past week Hermione had been in hyper-drive. She was practically memorizing the script, and singing in the halls between classes. It was now Friday, the day before the auditions. Friday morning at the professors table was quite odd. The teachers had each received a copy of the script and all the music. Professor Flitwick jumped down from his chair and waddled his way over to Professor Snape.

"Professor, may I have a word?" Flitwick said, with a slightly fearful tone in his usually unwavering happy voice.

"Yes Professor, but only one" Snape said dryly, his words like molasses. Professor Flitwick continued with a full sentence despite Snape's filthy attitude.

"I was wondering whether or not I could co-direct the musical with you?" Snape sat there, thinking about it. The endless rehearsals with one of his least favorite teachers. All the happiness made him want to hurl... and have someone there to hold him afterwards. Ah, the life of a sadistic evildoer gone good, yet left all alone in his own little world of sadness.

"Why not? Happiness all around." Snape said in a dead sarcastic tone.

"Oh goodie!" Flitwick said. "I can't wait!" He wobbled back to his chair while talking to himself about how joyful these next few months would be.

Professor Snape knew that he had just created his own person hell. Everyone around him being happy. He suddenly lost his appetite. He didn't have a class until 10:30 so he decided to go back to his bedroom. He held onto his jacket a bit tighter as he walked down to his secluded room behind the potions dungeon. When he got to his
dark-infested room, he locked the door, leaving the room pitch black, just as he liked it. He waved his want towards the wall. Within seconds his mind was consuming the graceful, Goth-metal lyrics of System of a Down's Chop Suey! He lay on his bed, staring at the blank stone ceiling listening to the lyrics.


Why have you forsaken me
In your eyes forsaken me
In your thoughts forsaken me
In your heart forsaken me
Trust in my self righteous suicide
I, cry, when angels deserve to die

"Perhaps I could kill myself, then not have to deal with Flitwick" he said to himself as he rolled over, falling into a pool of self pity. He decided not to, for reasons unknown even to himself. "I suppose I can last until after auditions" he contemplated.

Back in the Great Hall a tall, sun forsaken Slytherin was slithering over to the Gryffindor table.

"Granger." She had heard the word so many times before in that same inhuman voice.

"What do you want, Malfoy?" She questioned.

"I heard that you're auditioning."

"I am. Do you have a problem with that?" Hermionie wasn't going to let Draco bring her down.

"You don't seem to understand, Granger. This is going to be my show. With professor Snape directing, I'm predetermined to get the lead! I don't see why you even bother trying out. You'll most likely be cast as head of the clean up crew or whatnot." He twisted his neck around to look at Harry. "You don't plan on trying out, do you Potter?"

"No, I don't think I will. I would hate to unintentionally steal the spotlight from you again, as I have so many times before." Harry had thought about auditioning, but decided against it. He wasn't really the thespian type. He didn't think Draco was either. But, for Draco this wasn't a musical, it was fame, reputation, power.

"Could you please just go away, you're ruining my appetite." Hermione said, staring Draco directly into his dead eyes.

"Don't be so defensive Granger. It's only a warning." He smirked and began to walk away.

"Well that just ruined my morning" Ron said as he threw his fork on the table.

"Oh don't worry Ron; you will be ready for the audition tomorrow!" Hermione smiled at Ron, but he looked uneasy.

"I, well, Hermione, I'm not really planning on auditioning." Ron tried to say the sentence in a mumble but Hermione heard every painful word.

"Ron, please? If I get in and so does Draco, I'll be all alone, with no one to talk to."

"You have friends in other houses! What about, um-" "I know many other students, but I don't have many friends. Ron you just have to be there!"

"Well, I'll think about it." Ron didn't want to disappoint Hermione but he didn't actually want to audition. He thought that he wasn't good enough.

"Okay." Hermione tried her hardest not to sound extremely desperate. "Well I want to get to Study of Underwater Magical Creatures early." She looked over at Ginny. She mouthed "Please" and left. Ginny did not want to break her promise to Hermione, but it would be extremely difficult getting Ron to audition.

"Ron you should audition!" Ginny said happily as she continued eating her breakfast.

"Everyone is telling me that I should! But I don't know why I should! I mean I'm not extremely brave or anything like Harry is, and I don't like speaking, or actually doing anything in front of large groups of people! I'm not a good singer-"

This was Ginny's opportunity. She had to say something now or else it could be too late.

"But- you can be!" Ginny squeaked out, hoping that she sounded truthful.

"I can?" Ron said in disbelief.

"Yeah, I was reading about a voice enhancing spell, but it only works when you're singing" Ginny said, making up each word on the spot.

"Yeah I think I was reading about that too" Harry said, looking at Ginny, almost grinning. Hermione hadn't recruited Harry to help convince Ron to audition. He didn't need asking. He also had been trying to give Ron clues that Hermione liked him for the past year and a half.

"It's a really simple spell actually. If you start practicing now, you should be ready for the audition."

"Really?" Ron's ideas of auditioning dove into a positive light. "I might want to try that then. I mean if I even try out." He just now remembered how nervous he got. In his imagination he was fearless, he was courageous, yet in real life that feeling disappeared as soon as he faced his challenge. "I think I would get too nervous to even walk in the room."

"Oh, Ron, you just need self confidence! And with the spell you won't have anything to worry about!" Ginny was seeing that this was easier than she thought. The hard part would be actually finding a spell that did that.

"So, what's this spell called anyways?"

"Um, it's well-" Ginny didn't know what to say. She was scared that Ron might see through her lie.

"It's called acroama." Harry said casually. Harry looked at Ginny. She whispered "thanks" and turned her head away; she couldn't help but smile.

"Acroama." Ron repeated the word slowly. He had never though of himself as the musical type, but if he could get over his nerves, it might be fun. He imagined himself on stage. He looked out to the audience. The bright lights were making him sweat and the dark faces in the audience were menacing. His knees locked. He tried to speak, to say his line, but his mouth just hung open, his vocal chords frozen inside a glacier of fear. Ron watched the blurred faces in the audience. He could have sworn that they were staring at him or starting to laugh.

"Ron," Ginny was shaking his shoulder. "Are you okay?"

"Umm fine I just want to go, uh, I forgot my Witches and Wizards through Muggle Eyes book." He got up and quickly left the room. He needed to think. He sort of wanted to do the musical now, but his fears were getting in the way as usual.

"He doesn't have that class until Monday." Harry looked at Ginny. Her facial expression screamed exasperated. "Just give him some time to think about it, he might surprise you." Harry had a questioning tone in his voice, but he was trying to sound hopeful.

"Yeah, since Ron is big on surprises." Harry wanted to prove her wrong, but for the most part Ginny was right. He could not think of one thing-

"Well, no one expected him to be a prefect." Well, maybe there was one thing.

"You're right" Ginny smiled. "I guess I can hope for that one percent chance. I better be going to class. It takes 5 minuets to get there since it's on the 9th floor. And if it's not too much to ask for-"

"It's not," Harry said immediately. "He'll audition."

"Thanks Harry." Ginny grabbed her book bag and walked out of the Great Hall. She remembered learning about Harry when she was around six. Fred and George told her what had happened, against her mother's will of course. She remembered them fighting. She was sitting on the 27th stair, unseen by her bickering family down below.

"She's far too young to know!" Molly's face was red out of rage.

"Someone's got to tell her!" George began.

"Or else she won't know what to believe!" Fred finished.

"I don't want her young mind dealing with all that!" Molly protested.

Even though Ginny was shocked at what her brothers told her, it wasn't the full story. Fred and George had whimsically dumbed it down. If they hadn't she would have had nightmares for weeks. She remembered pretending to go visit Harry. She would hop on her pretend broom and fly to his huge Muggle mansion within a minuet. She would fly through his open window and introduce herself. She didn't know what he looked like or anything about his personality, so her imagination filled in the blank spots. But now her life was different. She had met and was friends with the real Harry Potter. She didn't have to pretend anymore. When she was younger her imagination was vivid and overdramatic. But her six year old self couldn't have even dreamed of what the real Harry Potter would be like; a dream come true.
