Chapter 7

A Cast List

The next day everyone was up bright and early to see the cast list. Even Ron got willingly out of bed before lunch. Ron was still completely in shock of Hermione's new look. That morning she had her newly straitened hair down, and was wearing shiny lip-gloss that kept making Ron stair at her lips.

"What are you staring at Ron?" Hermione snapped as they walked into the common room.

"Huh? Oh, um, well, nothing." He suddenly seemed to find something very interesting on his shoe. Hermione looked over her shoulder at Ginny who rolled her eyes and glared at her brother.

At the board in the common room there was a crowd of students trying to read the cast list. Lee came out of the crowd with a huge smile on his face.

"I got Collins!" He said giving them a thumbs up. They walked up to the board and looked over the heads of some of the younger kids to see the list.

Roger - Harry Potter

All others are in the chorus

-MM

The four Gryffindors congratulated each other, in another part of the castle, the Ravenclaws were gathered around the cast list. Luna sat on the patchwork couch reading The Quibler. She had gotten up extra early just to be the first to see the list.

In yet another part of the castle the Slytherin's were also gathered around a copy of the cast list. Draco Malfoy came down the steps into the common room. Pansy, hearing footsteps behind her, turned.

"Hey Malfoy," she said strutting over to him, "saw that you're playing a cross dresser in the show. How, well, appropriate."

"Well, Pansy," he said in a low voice, "what part did you get?"

For about two seconds Pansy looked as if she'd been slapped, but she quickly recovered, "well, who said that I wanted a big part?"

"Whatever." Draco muttered before walking out of the common room. Blaise had seen the confrontation with Pansy and fallowed Draco out.

"Draco!" he yelled chasing after him, "hey, Draco."

Draco finally whipped around, "What? Do you want to take a stab at me too? Tell me I'm week?"

"No," Blaise said shaking his head, "I wanted to say that you were really impressive at the auditions, and kudos on the great part."

"Oh, thanks." Draco said looking at the ground.

"Listen," Blaise said also looking at the ground, "I want you to know that I'm really sorry that your parents kicked you out."

"Yeah, well, shit happens."

On the other side of the Gryffindor common room Harry watched the two girls. He watched Ginny laugh and chat. She tossed her highlighted red hair over her shoulder and he couldn't help but feel a pang of regret.

"Hey man," Lee said coming up behind him, "you okay?"

"Yeah. Yeah, sure." Harry said avoiding Lee's eyes.

"You should talk to her mate." Lee said quietly.

"No" Harry said bitterly, "She wouldn't listen to me, I mean I wouldn't listen to me, so it's a lost cause." Harry stood up and ran his fingers through his messy hair and stalked off.
