Rose Pov

Wednesday (D-Day)

Roxy had told me over breakfast that she was auditioning the rest of the parts for the play today. She also mentioned that I had to be there with her to choose the actors so the proper "chemistry" would be there. Or I should say she yelled this information at me before running out of the hall like her butt was on fire. That actually an interesting idea I wonder if I could. The thought was interrupted by a loud bang originating near Hugo Weasley and his friend Andrew Finnegan. I could vaguely make out their excited expressions under a thin coating of black dust.

'HUGO WEASLEY AND ANDREW FINNEGAN DENTION FOR A WEEK.' Professor Kimbridge thundered; since Mcgonnal had retired she had become the teacher you didn't want to be caught out by. The majority of the other teachers you could wheedle out of your punishment if you talked fast enough but not her. Her eyes glinted as cold as steel and when it comes down to it her tongue was sharper than a razor blade.

I returned back to considering my situation. Knowing Roxy, which sadly I do, she has probably somehow got me excused from classes. The actual auditions would be at lunch or after school for the younger years the older years would have to audition in spare periods if they had one. The buzz of muttered excitement about Roxy play around me started to irritate me so quietly, I slipped down out of the hall to ask Roxy the most important question.

Where were the auditions actually being held?

I strolled along an old spider-web infested corridor in no hurry to see my crazy cousin. A sharp tug pulled me into an alcove between pillars. 'Rose, beware,' Whispered eerily the owner of the hand which was at the moment grabbing my upper arm. I wacked the back of the person's head and unmasked them, Roxy's big brown eyes stared back at me. 'What are you doing here?' I asked.

'Shhhh, peeves is patrolling.' Great the prankster ghost had gotten a bag of dung-bombs again. At least that's usually what peeves patrolling meant.

I slitted my eyes and glared at her wishing she would explain a bit more. As if only just realising that she had my arm she hastily let go. Quietly as she could Roxy lead us until we reached an empty Great Hall. So maybe this is where the auditions are. I wonder how much she had to annoy the Headmistress to get this room?

Roxy calmly walked to a small wooden ratty table and sat down on a chair and pulled a clip board. Roxy easiness with the whole situation only set me on edge. Did she expect me to rate everyone on their acting skills? I have next to zero of those so how does she expect me to rate other? I panicked Roxy grabbed and stuck me a chair and handed me paper obvious to me lack of enthusiasm or any reaction for that matter.

Roxy glanced at her sheet as she tapped her wand on the corner of a table and a yellow burst of light appeared near the door.

A boy I hazily remember being in 7th year stumbled into the room with a script clutched tightly in his hand. His dirty blond stuck up at funny angles, it was a clear shot of coping Albus or James natural hairstyle.

As he tripped and totted through his lines I kept forgetting to score him as his hair continued to distract me. It bobbed every time he moved his head; his hair had a mind of its own.

I jumped out of my seat when I realised that he wasn't in front of me.

'So Rose what you thought of him. I mean what were your notes.' I looked down at my notes guiltily seeing only a picture of evil hair coming to life.

'Umm.' Roxy sighed. 'It's fine I took enough for the both of us.' I peeked over to her page and true to her word there was a full page worth of notes. For the rest of auditions I tried to take notes but true to my word I just couldn't seem to find a lot to not take about, either they were interesting or they were dull.

By Lunch time I once again was fully prepared to get on my knees and beg Roxy to just let me go to class and escape for this constant stream of Boringness.

She cut my argument in half through with a few well thought-out words 'But I would do anything for you *insert adorable puppy dog eyes*.'

One audition that did find extraordinarily interesting was.

Wait for it…

ALBUS SERVERUS POTTER'S!

My jaw hit the floor when he walked into the room. Roxy looked pretty gobsmacked as well to be frank. He was auditioning for the part of Cato. I was even more surprised as he started to deliver the lines as he said each one pretty perfectly. Apart from the fact he looks harmless Al could pull of a pretty decent Cato. When Al left the room, Roxy and I turned and look at each-other. Without saying a word we silently agreed that Al had to be in this play one way or another.

After that I nearly fell asleep as we got the normal drone of people back again. Yay!

I'm sorry for not updating quickly. I've had an idea for this chapter for a long time just I haven't actually wrote it…..

Reviews are like chocolate. They never get boring.

That's just my weird way of saying please review and thank you so much to the people who already have
