Ooo…and I am feeling very Christmassy at the moment…so excuse the Prof. Name. Tehe
Chapter 2: The Muggle Studies Class
"Good Morning! And welcome to 6th year Muggle Studies!" A cheerful voice rang through the classroom. The muggle studies teacher walked into the room from her office. Professor Yuletide now stood in front of them. A chorus of weak 'good morning' was her reply.
"Now, we will be starting a long term project with the 5th year students. Mr. Weasley! UP… this is a class." Hermione nudged Ron hard in the ribs. Ron, whose head had been resting on his arms, jumped up and looked around in shock, grasping his side.
"You didn't have to hurt me!" the class broke out into to laughter. Hermione just huffed.
"Two points from Gryffindor. Now, as I was saying, we are going to be putting on a mandatory musical!" she beamed around the class, hoping to get some type of response. When she didn't, she continued on. "The musical we are going to be putting on is…The Phantom of The Opera!" Harry heard Hermione gasp. Harry had heard of the musical. A movie of it had come on Dudley's television over the summer, while the Dursleys were out for the day. Having nothing better to do, he watched it. Harry enjoyed the play very much and had spent the rest of his time alone singing songs from the musical. Ron groaned in Harry's ear.
"Why? I can't sing, what is she thinking?" Ron whispered complaints to Harry. Hermione was smiling broadly, looking very excited.
Draco, aka the boy on the couch, in the farthest seat that you can get from the front groaned again.
"Auditions are during double period on Monday. You need to prepare a song from the musical and a short monologue from any play. Good luck to all!"
HGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHG
Straight after dinner, Hermione pushed Ron and Harry into the library to find monologues.
"Oh, I am so excited! This is one of my favorite musicals! I want the part of Christine, she is my favorite!"
Hermione pulled the books off the shelves and onto the nearest table. Harry pick up on of the books. "101 monologues for Men and Manly Women". Ron picked up another book and they go to work searching. Hermione quickly found a monologue from the play "A Streetcar Named Desire". Ron also found one quickly called "The Audition". Harry, on the other hand, couldn't find one that suited him. The others were tired of trying to help so Harry decided that he would just find one later. On their way out, Harry saw a very pretty redhead girl accompanied by a blonde girl in 5th year.

The next day was a Saturday, so the trio spent the day preparing for the auditions. Harry was surprised to see that Ron was actually putting in effort into it. He actually wasn't a bad actor, but he lacked a great voice. It was kind of plain, but it wasn't bad. Hermione had, not to be mean, awful voice, but Ron and Harry didn't dare tell her that.
All three had picked their songs after listening to the soundtrack on her magical CD player. Ron was going to sing Music of the Night, Hermione chose Think of Me (her absolute favorite as she stated), and Harry was going to sing the guy part to All I ask of you. Now they were learning the pieces with an also magical piano. Both Ron and Hermione had gone and now it was Harry's turn.
No more talk of darkness,
Forget these wide-eyed fears.
I'm here,
nothing can harm you -
my words will
warm and calm you.
Let me be your freedom,
let daylight dry your tears.
I'm here,
With you, beside you,
to guard you and to guide you
Harry looked out while he practiced to see Hermione and Ron standing there with their mouths open. He instantly shut up thinking something was wrong.
"Am I that bad?"
"No Harry, on the contrary, your amazing!" Hermione relied.
"Yeah, why didn't you tell us you could sing?"
"I never thought I could." He said, slightly confused. Since when was his voice considered good? It sounded a little, for lack of better work, ugh to him. Whatever. His mood got better though, and he was looking forward to the auditions, but he only had one problem, no monologue.
Draco Malfoy sat in the library trying to find a monologue. He would never admit it, but he was excited about the play. He was a Malfoy, they all were very talented in music and acting, of course, they were good at everything! So, he could sing, and he could act, no problem. As he was thinking this, Ginny Weasley walked into the same section of the library that Malfoy was in.
"Look what the cat dragged in. Don't tell me your auditioning, HA; you'll probably make slave girl or something like that." Malfoy said the moment he saw her.
"Well, then in looks like we'll be doing a lot of scenes together, as there is no way you'll make anything better that slave girl's servant." Ginny snapped back. Malfoy jumped up and pulled out his wand.
"Don't insult me." If Ginny was not a girl, he would have instantly hexed her, he had been taught that as a Malfoy. Never hex a girl, not even a muggle-loving girl, who had just insulted him. Ginny was not a guy, she was MOST DEFINATLY a girl. She had filled in very nicely since her 4th year, Malfoy noticed.
"Then don't insult me, and STOP checking me out." She grabbed a book off the self and walked away, leave a very impressed Malfoy behind. No one had dared talk back to him, well except for Precious Potty and his Weasel Sidekick. He had to admit she was incredibly sexy when she was frustrated with him.

"Oh Ginny, I am so excited! I love the Phantom of the Opera. My mom and I saw it when it came to London." Liz Archer said. She was a Ravenclaw 5th year, and Ginny's best friend. She was thin, short, and had longish blonde hair.
"I have no idea what it is about. I have never even heard of it before." Ginny said pushing her thick red hair out of her face.
"WHAT? HOW CAN YOU HAVE NEVER HEARD OF IT? It is amazing. Oh, I have an idea. Come with me." Liz replied and pulled Ginny up to the Room of Requirement where she proceeded to ask for a TV, DVD player, and a copy of the Phantom of the Opera on DVD, in a very comfortable room.
A few hours later Ginny and Liz walked out of the room. Ginny kept going on how it was now her favorite musical ever and how she hoped to make a lead.
"Have you picked your song yet, now that we've watched it?"
"Oh yes, I think I am going to sing All I ask of you. I'll have to say it is probably my absolute favorite now. It is so comforting. You?" Ginny replied.
"I was thinking Angel of Music. It is a pretty good song. Come on. Let's go practice!"
With that the girls rushed to the library to copy the songs from the book that Prof. Yuletide had left in there for that reason.
Review Sil-vous plait! And thanks to all my reviewers for chapter 1. Je t'aime!
MERRY CHRISTMAS
HAPPY HANNAKAH
