Chapter 11
The Reviews
The next day Hermione received the Daily prophet with her breakfast. She had been interviewed immediately follow the performance the previous night and the writer said that the article would be in that morning's paper.
She flipped through the boring stuff that didn't have anything in the least to do with her and finally go to the article about the play.
The Phantom at Hogwarts
By: Emilie Bliss
Just last night Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry performed Andrew Lloyd Webber's Phantom of the Opera. The music of the night has since then been ringing through my ears. Professor Severus Snape was amazing as the Phantom. His voice was almost like none other I had ever heard before. Ronald Weasley was incredible as the part of Raul the breathtakingly handsome Viscount who's love for the leading lady is strong enough to with stand the Phantom's intervening. The cast in general was amazing.
I was actually able to get in an interview with Miss Hermione Granger after the show. Miss Granger has been known as the know-it-all of Hogwarts since her first year and now she is the Head Girl. When she agreed to this interview I was thrilled. Miss Granger said, "This is my first major show. Sure, I did little shows when I was in muggle school, but that's nothing compared. It actually reminds me of the Broadway show in New York," Miss Granger exclaimed in one of the most thrilled voices I have ever heard, "We had practice almost every night since the casting and since then I hear tell of some inter cast romances," she blushed as she said this, "but I cant say who these said romances are between. I think the couple would kill me if I even thought of telling anyone about their fling."
The previous week we had received reports from a certain little bug that Miss Granger had not been feeling quite herself. When asked Hermione offered an explanation. "Last week I had had a loss of appetite. I had been brought to the hospital wing after passing out by a fellow cast mate. Madam Pomfrey said that I should be fine and recently I have been feeling a lot better."
And we are all thrilled that she has been feeling better as opposed to last week. The entire cast and crew did a marvelous job on the show and I do suggest that if you are already a Phantom fan that you should go see the show.
Hermione looked at the review and smiled. They didn't portray her as anything she didn't want them to. She had always been a bit conscious about what reporters say about her ever since the Rita Skeeter episode. She looked up at the teacher's table wondering if Severus had read the article yet and as she looked at him their eyes met.
He mouthed the words, "Meet me out side by the entrance doors now." Hermione looked at him in near astonishment, but never along she just nodded.
Severus got up and left out through the door behind the teacher's table, and Hermione excused herself from the Gryffindor table taking a doughnut when Ginny and Harry both glared at her.
I really like reviews people.
