AN: Okay quick note. Mimi Chica: I really appreciated what you had to say. I planed on giving a overview of A Chorus Line in the next chapter, so look for that, and not everyone did well in the auditions, but I liked the idea of having a montage of some of the kids doing a really good job. The characters I showed were being used as foreshadowing for the cast list. The only reason I had Harry tap dancing was because I needed someone to be Mike, and to me he fit the bill. And I like the idea of Sirius being a director, trust me though his directing skills will be used as comic relief! If you have any other questions or comments then send me an email!
oh and I do live in NY!
Chapter 4
The First Rehearsal
The next night the cast members entered the great hall to see that the tables were all gone and a large stage stood in their place.
"okay folks! Everyone come here and sit in a circle" Sirius said getting up on the stage. When everyone was seated he continued " How many people have heard of this musical?"
Hermione and Ginny raised their hands.
"Well then I better explain what's going on! A Chorus Line tells the story of a group of performers auditioning for a Broadway show. All the performers come from different backgrounds and have varying abilities. In between learning audition moves, they each reveal their most personal stories in interviews with the director, Zach. A Chorus Line is about hope, sex, insecurity, ethnicity, and dreaming. In the end, only eight people are chosen for the show and get to put on splendid costumes and live out their dream. There is a lot of dancing in this show so be prepared for that. Okay everyone grab a script and we'll start the read threw. We are going to skip to after the first number, so that means that we will start with you Dean."
"Okay. Don Karr. Kansas City, Kansas. I'm 26."
Luna was next "Maggie Winslow. Also know as Margaret, Margie, Peggy whatever It's real, and I was born in San Mateo, California on a Thursday evening."
Pretty soon they were at Draco "I'm Robert Henry Joseph Mills III. That's my real name too! I was born somewhere near Buffalo. I can't remember the name of the town I blocked it out. I was born in 1950."
And before long they were at Ginny "Well as far as I'm concerned I'm Valerie Clark, but my parents seem to think I'm Margaret Mary Hullahan! Couldn't you just die! I was born in the middle of nowhere really. A little town called Arlington, Vermont. Bye bye!
After they read threw a couple more scenes. Sirius told them that they would continue tomorrow.
"Ron! Hermione! Can I talk to you two for a moment?"
They walked up to him slowly.
"I wanted to make sure you two were comfortable with your parts, because I know you guys had a falling out. Dumbledore wasn't sure if casting you two opposite each other was a good idea, but you two were the best for the part."
Hermione sighed "I think we'll be fine Sirius. Were mature enough."
"What she said." Ron said his eyes wide.
"Okay. You two may go."
Once they were outside the great hall Hermione spoke quietly "Don't think that I'm not still mad at you Ronald. I only think that we should be civil to each other."
"Yah civil is just fine with me." He replied bitterly and walked away. Hermione watched him walk away in sad silence.
What had went wrong?
