"Oh Merlin! Hermione have you heard!?" Ginny squeled from across the corridor.
"Heard what?" Hermione asked, shaking her head. GInny had been giddy all day, excited about something. Must be something to do with Aaron, Hermione thought.
"Aaron!" The red-head chirped. Hermione smirked, happy with her answer. "He is having auditions for his new song! A girl part!" Ginny smiled excitedly. Hermione's head shot up at the announcment. Auditions? With Aaron!
"Holy crap! Are you serious!" Hermione let out. Just then Snape walked by.
"Ten points from Gryffindor for inappropriate language, Miss Granger." He growled. Hermione rolled her eyes, but couldn't help notice the way his robes flew behind him when he stormed away, a scowl on his face. It was...she couldn't really put her finger on it.
"When?" Hermione asked Ginny, eager to know.
"Tonight." She replied, trying to keep her voice at normal volume. The girls rushed off, discussing the night ahead of them.
Snape
He stormed away from the two girls, a scowl growing in his features. More points. He took points away from her daily, mostly in his mind for just being beautiful. But she was coming to the auditions. That was great. The moment she came into the audition room and sang, she would be in.
"Insufferable beautiful girl..." He muttered on his way to his dungeons. Why everyone in love with Aaron? Was he really that good. Snape's voice was exactly like Aaron's. He didn't use a spell to remake his voice. It was natural.
"Im magicaly in love, like you were sent from above. There's nothing I wont do, so that i can be close to you." He sang his first hit, Magicaly in Love. It was the start of his career. Snape finally reached his dungeons.
"Password." The snake shaped gargoyle asked.
"Ginger." Snape responded. The snake moved, revealing Snape's private quarters.
He stalked in, his robes still bellowing behind him. He closed the door behind him, and got ready for tonights auditions.
Taking out his wand, he mumbled a couple of words. In no time, he was Aaron. His black hair was slicked back, and green eyes sparkled intensley.
Snape aparated, it was only a half hour until the audtitions started. When he aparated, he ended up in a recording studio. Girls were already lined up outside. Hundreds of them. He even saw some guys. Might as well get started now.
Aaron walked around the recording studio. "Hey, Mart." He greeted a guy that was sitting in front of the glass, where the controls were. The guy nodded in return. Aaron sat down on a stool, pulling headphones and a microphone on.
"Alright, hey guys. It's Aaron. Well, since so many of you are already here, might as well get started." He said into the microphone. Screams could be heard outside of the studio at the sound of his voice. It was silky, and sweet. Not dark and cold like his normal voice. The only thing that didn't change about him was the singing voice.
"Ok, we're gonna have the first person to audition, her name is Melanie." He announced, and a blonde, short, thin girl came into the studio. She sat down across from Aaron, and pulled up a microphhone.
"Hello Melanie, how are you today?" He asked the girl.
"Great!" The girl beamed. Aaron nodded and smiled.
"Lets get started then." He sat his guitar on it's side and started to strum.
"How could you love me?
When I caused so much pain?
How could you love me?
When I curse your name?" He sang. It was the girls turn.
"I see perfection.
When I look in your eyes.
I feel protection.
When you hold me tight." She sang back. Dreadful. He was only having them sing a verse. It was long enough, and he could get a taste of how they sang. Aaron excused the girl. He was going to announce the winner after everyone auditioned.
"Next is...Ginny Weasley?" he not-so-chalantly said. The red head bounced into the room. It was so lucky that she got SECOND IN LINE.
They sang through the verses. And Ginny was not that bad. Though to Severus she was horrible. Everything to Severus was horrible, except for Hermione of course.
Many more people went. Once a boy came in, he apologetically told him to get out. He was straight after all. Finally, it was the last persons turn. Aaron was dissapointed to find out that Hermione was not there. Maybe she changed her mind? And al this passing of great voices would have been for nothing? No, she had to come. This is what he was here for.
"Last one, folks. Hermione Granger!" His face lit up when he read the name on the card.
Hermione came in, looking BEAUTIFUL. Her hair was pulled back, and she wore a white shirt with a black vest over it. Sinny jeans really brought out her figure. She looked great when she wasnt in her uniform. Not that she didn't look good in her uniform, just that she looked alot better in this.
"Sit," He gestured to the chair across from him. She graciously took the offer and sit down in the chair. A microphone and some headphones were given to her.
"Um, how about we start from the begginging?" He asked her, and she shrugged her shoulders.
"Alright, everyone this is the last one. We're going to run through the entire song, so turn on your radio's and be the first to hear." He announced. Before he started singing, he adjusted his headphones, holding one in his left hand, pressing it agaisnt his ear.
"Ok, ready?" He asked Hermione. She eagerly shook her head.
"Im not what you think.
Just take a look at me.
Close your eyes and blink,
Do you like what you see?
There's things you don't know.
Things you wont like.
You can see past my flaws.
Just open your eyes.
How could you love me?
When i caused so much pain?
How could you love me?
When I curse your name? He sang the words truthfully. Every word he sang he meant. And Hermione knew it. She didn't say a word after he sang.
"Miss Granger?" He asked. Hermione opened her eyes in shock. Miss Granger? It was him. Snape. She knew it. All those weeks looking up Aaron's history and biography, she never found out who he was. She knew there was something about him that reminded her of someone. It was Snape!
"I see perfection.
When I see your eyes.
I feel protection,
When you hold me tight.
You must think different.
Cause you don't see.
How much I love you.
And you love me." She barely managed to get the last words out. She meant them. She actually meant them. Years and years she thought she dreaded his very presence. But the only reason she did was that he made her flushed. He made her blush and dizzy, and love him.
"How could you love me?
When im never there.
How could you love me?
If I bring you despair." They sang together.
