Authors babble- I really do this to much, but this time I really do have something IMPORTANT to say. I may not be updating quite so much, I am currently switching rooms… oh, and I have a confession to make.
This will NOT end happily ever after, but because I AM a happily ever after person, or at least a second chance person, their WILL be a sequel, I know it's a bit early to be telling you all this, but I thought you all had the right to know…I already have up to chapter 13 written. And I already have the whole idea behind the sequel, and if you ask me nice enough, I might just include the summary in the next chappie…now, on with the show…

Chapter 10- Got Drums?
Sup Gin N Tonic? Wow, an opening number huh? That's nice. Now Yawl know I Love yawl, but sorry, I can't. I have to practice, I sorta joined another group. Sorry, I have to go,
The one and only
Riles
"That bitch!" Jefferson stormed. "We found her, helped create her! She couldn't knock two damn sticks together before me and Solo! We taught her!"
"We?" Rivers questioned as she sat calmly by the fire watching 'Charmed'.
"OK, so it was just Solo, but he was my boyfriend! We leave for one damn year and she jumps at the next band! I can't believe she would do this to us!" Jefferson said as she threw herself sulkily on coach next to Rivers.
"I can't believe it took her a whole week to turn us down." Rivers stated dryly, not bothering to turn away from the television.
"You two!" Spike interjected in there sulking and pouting, " pop your chill pills. Riles was good, even I have to admit that. But do you realize how much practice she had to go threw? She didn't have any talent, that was practice, a lot of practice. We have talent, we were born with the gift of music. None of us have ever taken a single voice lesson and we could sing better then Riley who took voice lessons for three years. JJ, you have serious talent, you are an awesome guitarist, you play better than half of the adults I know. Riv, you can play piano the way some people dream of, and you don't even practice. Gin, well, you're a musical prodigy, you can sing, dance, and play guitar. So, to sum it all up, we have talent, she has practice, we can find another drummer, it aint nothing but a thing, and a small thing."
"Thanks ever so for the pep-talk, now, on to business, how do we find a drummer? Hogwarts is a big school." Ginny asked, interested in how this was suppose to work.
"O! I know! When my daddy was hiring a new Au Pair for us when we were little, he made fliers and hung them up around dinners and offices, we could hang them in common rooms and in halls." Jefferson said excitedly.
"And don't forget that big announcement bored in front of the mess hall." Rivers added after switching off the television.
"Great Hall, not mess hall." Ginny corrected and Rivers rolled her eyes. " and who does the fliers?"
"I will, I finished all my homework, JJ, you can come help if ya want." Spike said as he turned to leave. Jefferson bounded out after him.

WE NEED A DRUMMER!
Phire and Ice is looking for a new drummer, it could be you!
Try outs are Saturday during lunch on the Qudditch Pitch
Open to all houses, males and females welcome!
Be there or be square!
***********
Pansy smirked at the black paper with the silver lettering. She quickly checked her watch, she had exactly twenty-eight minutes to talk him into this.
*
"NO WAY!"
"Their good Dray! They need someone with talent, That's you! We all know you can do it, at least try!"
"Pansy, what part of no don't you understand?"
"Well, if your chicken…" Draco's silvery eyes flashed, she knew she had him, he was so predictable.
*******
Gin looked out at the sea of people that had showed up for tryouts and groaned. Spike, who was seated next to her smirked evilly.
"There's got to be some talent in there somewhere, all we have to do now is wait for Jeff to get here." Ginny nodded and took a sip of her water.
Ten minutes later Ginny could see Jefferson's pink and blond head weaving threw the crowd in front of her.
"It's about time." Rivers muttered.
"Ever so sorry chaps!" Jefferson said brightly. "I have detention tonight, running in the halls or some such non since. And than I ran into Dumbledore, he's alright with all this, even said he would give us a place to practice, but Spike, I hope your talent is above fifth year, no one below fifth year can even try out."
Ginny nodded, placed her wand at her throat and muttered a charm under her breath.
"Ok, thanks to everyone that came out here today for tryouts! Were sorry to inform you that due to recent findings, you must be a fifth year or above to try out." More than half of the assembled students left. "Also, you have to have a passing grade in all of your classes, including potions." about ten of the remanding people left. "You need to be able to play the drums, not a drum." a few more people left. "OK, the rest of you will write your name, year, and house on a piece of paper that we pass around. " with that a paper magically appeared and people began passing it around.
Thirty minutes later Gin stood again, paper in hand. "OK, I am going to call your name and your going to come up and play, when your done, you can do whatever, you can stay and watch the competition or you can go eat lunch, At four your all going to come back to hear what we decided. Ravenclaw, Sixth year, Ally Jordan!"
Spike Winced at the sound the tall blonde made.
"Thanks Ally, that was…Lovely. Next, Lovegood, Luna!"
Ginny smiled encouragingly at the girl. She picked up the discarded drumsticks and hit the cymbal once before standing up and walking off stage. Jefferson made a low whistling sound under her breath. "Marry Procop!"
Two and a half hours and a bottle of muggle aspirin later found Ginny calling out the last name.
"Slytherin, Seventh Year, Malfoy, Draco!"
And that was that. Gin sat, a huge smile on her face. He would suck, probably worse than some, she would go lay down and let the rest of the band figure out what to do.
Unfortunately for Ginny, that idea went out the window when Draco sat down to play. She had to admit, the boy was good, but she didn't have to like it.
*********
"But Gin, he's our talent!" Spike said pleadingly.
"He's way better than Riles ever was." River added.
"No, O hell no. I go to school with him, I manage potions without killing him, I live in the same house with him, I refuse to willingly subject myself to anymore of his egotistical, I'm-a-stupid-ass-Malfoy-therefore-I-am-better-than-everyone-eles-on-thefucking-planet Attitude! I'm sick of it."
"Gin, be reasonable. We need a drummer, a good drummer, you said it yourself, the boy is good. It's like he gets lost in his own little world or something. I know you saw it. Just give him a chance, for the band?" Spike asked, his eyes pleading.
"Fine, he gets Probation though, three strikes and he's out, agreed?"
"Agreed."
