Let's pretend HSM came out back then, k?

I do not, nor ever have, owned what I am writing about.

That came out wrong…

Lily evens sat in the old Hogwarts Theater, in one of the fronts seats (by habit). With its beautifully carved accents Lily wondered why they had never used it before. Apparently there had been a termite infection and seeing as termites were a muggle problem, no one knew how to fix the problem.

Lily was admiring the woodwork so much she did not see a certain Head Boy and his best friend come in and take a seat in the back. Of course, they (James) noticed Lily and made a move to go and talk to her when Sirius slammed his foot, hard, onto James' toe. Silencing him, James' cries were not heard and the introduction began.

"Welcome, welcome, one and all to our chapel of the arts, our cornucopia of creative energy. When I call your name you will come into the room on my right and try out for our musical. You will each perform what you have prepared. Any questions, good? Done. Adenisio, you are first."

People got up and started looking for their friends and chatting.

Seeing the back of a long, black haired girl sitting a row ahead of James and himself, Sirius said in his smoothest voice "What are you trying out for, beautiful?"

"Why you-!" The person said in a cold voice be was cut off when she saw who she was addressing.

Sirius noticed, too, and at the same time as her his eyes widened to the size of softballs and they shouted (at the same time)

"Sirius!"

"Bellatrix!"

"What the hell are you doing here?!" They screamed.

"You first!" The both screamed…together… a the same time…again…(This is getting old)

"I'm here to make my parents mad." He grinned smugly like it was an ingenious scheme to annoy ones parents. Well, it's Sirius everybody.

She let out a shy laugh "I never thought I'd see the day when I agreed wit you, Sirius."

"Well, I'm a very agreeable person." He pouted, not fully aware of the extent of this 'cousin bonding' moment.

They sat in awkward silence until Belletrix's name was called. Once she was out of hearing distance Sirius whispered to James, "Mate, do you realized what just happened?"

"Yeah, hm…" He replied, distracted, someone a few rows ahead of them had stood up blocking his view of Lily.

"Bellatrix, as in Bellatrix Black, as in part of my 'Most Pure and Noble House of Black' (He said it in a mock voice), as in my cousin!"

"You say something?" James said finally turning to Sirius.

"BELLATRIX IS TRYING OUT!"

"What! Why didn't you tell me!"

"Uhh," Sirius said putting his head in his hands.

"Miss Evens?"

Lily stood up at the sound of her name, "Right here!" She called raising her hand.

"Right this way, please."

"Alright," she said, closing the pine door behind her "what have you prepared?"

"Well, I'm trying out for chorus so I thought I might sing something from the opener."

"Very well, go ahead."

"Let us be glad
Let us be grateful
Let us rejoicify that goodness could subdue
The wicked workings of you-know-who
Isn't it nice to know
That good will conquer evil?
The truth we all believe'll by and by
Outlive a lie"

"Very good, very good."

"Really?" Lily answered stunned; no one had ever said anything about her voice-not that she had ever performed for someone.

"Yes, yes, the list will be posted in the common rooms."

Lily hurried out of the room, amazed by Professor Davenport's compliment.

"James Potter!" James scrambled out of his seat, startled by the announcement. Pulling open the door he saw a middle-aged woman whose hair was pulled back into a bun, wearing a bright purple shawl and overly large glasses.

"Hello, I'm Mrs. Davenport."

"James Potter." He said, aware of the fact she was carefully examining him.

"Well, um," James said clearing his voice, "I've prepared a song my cousin showed my over the summer. Her father is a muggle, so she saw it on the fellyvison, or something like that."

Living in my own world
Didn't understand
That anything can happen
When you take a chance
I never believed in
What I couldn't see
I never opened my heart yeah!!
To all the possibilities
I know that something has changed
Never felt this way
And right here tonight

"Perfect." She muttered. James, aware of how horribly he sang was shocked. He had never heard the song before, yet he knew he had messed it up.

"Excuse me?"

"Your perfect for Fiyero."

"What? Listen, I'm not sure if you just heard me, I really don't think I have the right voice."

"Voice?" Mrs. Davenport said, looking confused, then a look of comprehension crossed over her face. "Oh, yes, quite horrible voice, but simply fixed by an easy charm before every show. But you look the part, and that's what counts."

"Well, if your looking for handsome I'm sure Sirius Black is a better choice." Very uncomfortable with the idea of being one of the leads.

"Sirius Black? Not sure I have a Sirius Black signed up." She flipped through the papers on her clip board. "Oh, ah, here we are. Sirius Black, crew."

"What?!" James was sure Sirius was signing up with him. When I get a hold of that little rat I will… But James was cut off from his thoughts by Mrs. Davenport looking at his song.

"Hopefully my charm can fix your voice. By far the worst I've heard in years. I didn't think anyone could mess it up, though. My sister directed the performance, actually. Well, in the movie. Polar opposites, we are. I'm a witch, obviously, she's not. She always had a thing for what inside, the soul that is. When I came home from school I would call it an inner eye, never got the joke, really." She looked confused, like it was hard for a non-magical person to comprehend a magical joke. "I learned at an early age, it's what's on the out side that will get you though life. I performed on Broadway, while she taught in a school, telling children about the meaning of 'theater'. Always a softy. Ah, well. Not everybody can turn out right. Perfect, in your case. James, is it? Right, James, you have a gift, use it wisely. You can go."

"Crap."
