Well…on to the story!

For later: ANYTHING in italics and bold is Draco; just italics is Ginny; this is both of them at the same time


It was the last day before auditions (as it was Sunday). Hermione and Ron were finishing a potions essay in the common room. Harry was in the library getting frustrated. He still hadn't found a monologue yet. He was starting to give up and just chose one he didn't really care about. As he was putting up the books, a small green book caught his eye. It was lying on the ground hidden in the shadows. Harry picked it up and looked at the title. A Little Book of Men's Monologues for those Who Just Cant Find the Perfect Monologue and only have a few More Hours Left to Look For THE One Collected by Uknee d. Ittfast Harry looked at it strangely, but as he was desperate, he sat down with the book. Automatically he found two perfect monologues and now was having a hard time choosing between the two. One was a hilarious monologue from a play called The Royal Family. The other was a serious and semi-sad monologue from A Doll's House. He finally chose the one from The Royal Family and left the library grinning.

OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoO

Ginny Weasley was nervous. Tomorrow were the auditions. She was standing in an empty class room where she had a Professor conjure a piano. She charmed the piano to play to her song (All I Ask of You) and was getting ready to start practicing. She has just memorized her monologue and felt pretty much prepared there.

As Ginny began to sing, she didn't realize that she had company.

Draco Malfoy was walking past a random empty classroom on a random floor, when he heard a voice singing from the room. The voice was beautiful. It had a light and mysterious tone and was just breath taking. Out of curiosity, he walked silently into the room to see Ginny Weasley with his back towards him singing a song from the play that Draco knew very well.

Say you'll love me every waking moment

Turn my head with talks of summertime

Say you need me, now and always

Promise me that all you say is true

That's all I ask of you

Let me be your shelter

Let me be your light

You're safe, no one can find you

Your fears are far behind you

Draco joined in the song expecting Ginny to jump, or turn around or anything, but surprisingly she was to into the song and didn't notice him sing.

All I want is freedom

A world with no more night

And you always beside me

To hold me and to hide me

Then say you'll share with me

One love, one lifetime

Let me lead you from your solitude

Say you'll need me here beside you

Anywhere you go, let me go too

Christine that's all I ask of you

Ginny heard the voice sing with her. At first she was about to jump and turn, but the voice enchanted her. At the end of Raoul's verse she turned and started to walk towards him like she was in a trance of sorts.

Say the word and I will follow you

Share each day with me

Each night each morning

Say you love me

You Know I do

Love me that's all I ask of you

At this point, Draco moved in and kissed Ginny straight on the mouth. At first Ginny kissed back, then seemed to snap out of the trance and pushed Draco off.

"WHAT THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOUR DOING" she shouted at him.

Draco just smirked back and a furious Ginny ran from the room, turning back only once to glare at him.

oOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoO

"Ugggghhhh….I HATE him!" Ginny said to Liz later in the library.

"Do you think he likes you?"

"No, afterwards he just smirked. No, he can't, can he? Grroosssssss"

"GIRLS, please!" Madame Pince called over.

"HmMm….I bet he was just trying to get to you. I wouldn't worry. I'm going though. Night!"

Liz left, and Ginny was left to think of what Draco had done.

OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoO

The next morning, Harry awoke with nervous butterflies in his stomach. He walked down to the common room only to see a new piece of parchment on the Common Room board. He and Ron walked to it. It Read:

Dear 5th and 6th year Muggle Studies Students:

If you are singing a song from the Phantom of the Opera that requires more than one person in it, I will pair you up with someone else who has prepared the opposite part to that same song. I will give you a few minutes before to practice with this partner(s). If this is the case, Please sign the list below:

I look forward to the auditions today held in the Great Hall during the double period. DON'T FORGET!

Thank you,

Professor Yuletide

Below this note, another sheet of parchment was hanging up with a small list of names and songs. As this applied to Harry, he signed the list and wrote his song on the line (All I Ask of You) and said a silent prayer that he wouldn't be paired up with someone like Pansy. He shivered at the thought.

Hermione joined them a second later and they walked to breakfast and then to their first class, and finally to lunch. The Muggle Studies Class was after lunch.

"Oh…I can't eat! I'm so nervous! I think I know what it is like before one of your Quidditich matches!" Hermione stated during Lunch. Ron was shoveling down his food, and Harry was just barely eating. Down the row, Ginny was picking her food, just like Hermione, her face was slightly paler though.


I'm not to sure I like this chapter very much, but whatever.
