A/N: Reviews please! Luv Ya! I've decided to cast OC's (Just a heads up)

Sitting in what was to be the future rehearsal space for RENT, Ginny and Hermione were sitting waiting for Rebecca Thompson to arrive. Hermione was looking down at her hands, she had painted her nails a very vibrant shade of blue and her hair was now darker with lighter highlights. It hung in loose curls that went past her shoulders but was in a tight high pony tail. She looked up to see the rest of the people in the room.

Across from her and Ginny, Ron was sitting next Harry although Harry wasn't auditioning, next to them sat Neville who was chatting to Dean and Seamus. Farther over was a girl with dark skin that Hermione new was Lexi Anderson from Ravenclaw she was talking to Luna. Then there was a tall kid with caramel colored skin leaning in his chair with drumsticks in his pocket he was trying to ignore Lavender trying to flirt with him. Altogether the room was pretty full.

The door swung open to the hall way were everyone was crowded and Rebecca stepped out. "First there are rules" She said. "Let me make it clear you are not to call me Ms. Thompson, Becky or Rebecca, you may call me Bex or Becca we on the same path?" She glanced around the room at the students with her amber eyes. All the students who were talking shut up to listen to her.

"Secondly, RENT is very free-spirited and it needs the right kinda people's to make it work" She continued glancing about the room. "You need to feel the characters pain and emotion, just 'cause you can sing and dance don't mean your gonna get the part." She looked at Lavender Brown in particular who had sunk into her seat. Hermione giggled quietly. "Third if you make it to the cast remember your input is very important." She said looking around once more. "It takes more then a director to make a play. Lastly just have fun!"

Her eyes brightened and looked around the room and saw that only Hermione was smiling and she examined her wardrobe. "It seems that we have a RENT-head here trying out for the part of Mimi?" Becca asked. Hermione nodded happily. "Okay then lets see your stuff! Umm... what's your name?" Becca asked. "Hermione." She stated.

"I see well I'm gonna call you Mimi anyway kay?" Becca asked smiling, she motioned for the students to follow her and lead them into a brightly lit room with a hardwood floor where the students sat, three metal tables and a small cat walk with a set of stairs below it. "This as you may know is the room of requirement." Becca told the students who looked at her confused. "Now the reason I want you all in here is to test for stage fright." Becca stated calmly. She motioned for Hermione to stand up. "Tell me what your singing." Hermione turned to face her audience. "Out Tonight from the play." Becca nodded and with the flick of her wand music filled the room. Hermione smiled and she threw off the leopard print jacket she had been wearing to reveal torn fishnets, a short plaid skirt and a low cut baby-doll top.

"Whats the time?

Well it's gotta be close to midnight.

My body's talkin to me it says

time for danger"

Hermione had now got a captive audience mostly from the guys and Ron was staring at her blankly and Harry's eye were about the size of baseballs. Becca had an approving smile plastered on her face.

"It says I wanna commit a crime,

Wanna be the cause of a fight!

I wanna put on a tight skirt and flirt

with a stranger!

I've had a knack from way back

Of breaking the rules once I learn the games

get up life's to quick I know some place sick!

Where this chick I'll dance to the flame.

We don't need any money!

I always get it for free!

You can get in to if you get in with me!

Lets go.

Out Tonight!"

Hermione hit the high note loud clear and strong without the trace of a British accent like she had been practicing for more then a few days. Maybe even months?

"I have to go

Out Tonight!

You wanna play

Lets runaway we won't be back before it's Christmas day!

Take me out tonight

Meow!"

Even though she cut it short she ended the song there the only person who clapped was Becca the rest of them were too shocked to see Hermione preform like that. She sat down as she got some feedback from Becca "Good, good very good I definitely want to her more of you!" She smiled "I will put you on the list for dance auditions for Mimi, okay Mimi?" She laughed using Hermione's new nickname. Once Hermione sat down Becca examined the crowd. "Ummm... you with the drumsticks you are?" She asked pointing to the kid who was sitting in jeans and a tee-shirt. He stood up ran a hand through his short hair. "I'm Jake, Jake Summers from Manhattan just moved to London " He spoke with a true New York accent and Hermione knew why she had never seen him before.

"Okay Jake considering this isn't band rehearsals and you lived in New York your here to try out for Angel correct?" Becca asked. Jake nodded "Can I use the table?" He asked. Becca nodded but, before he started she asked a question to the audience "Anyone else auditioning for Angel?" One person raised her hand. It was Lavender Brown. Becca started laughing "Umm honey ? You know that Angel's a drag queen right?" Lavender then looked as if she was about to faint but her friends that Patil sisters propped her up.

Becca made a motion for Jake to start.

"Okay then this is Today 4 U!" He started.

"It was my lucky day today on Avenue A!

When the lady in the limousine drove my way,

She said dah'ling be a dear haven't slept in a year!

I need your help to make my neighbors yappy dog

Dissapear!

This akita Evita just won't shut up.

I believe if you play non-stop that pup will breathe it's very last high strung breath!"

Becca, Ginny, Hermione and Harry were all laughing because his performance was spectacular he continued with many jumps and spins and singing before walking right in front of them.

"Now who could foretell that it would go so well?

But sure as I am here that dog is now in doggy hell!

After an hour Evita in all her glory on the window ledge

of that twenty third story

Like Thelma and Louise did when they got the blues!

Swan dove into the courtyard of the Gracie Mews!"

Jake continued his flawless performance by jumping from a standing position on the ground to the table and jumping off and preforming a drum solo. He finished the last verse and took a bow. "Well no one can beat that!" Becca exclaimed.

The audition process continued through out the day many people leaving in tear such as the Patil twins, Lavender Brown and a few others. But soon all auditions even dance were finished but Harry had just been sitting there.

"Why are you sitting here?" Becca asked him once everyone was off a chattering knowing they had some form of a part. "I was wondering if I could make a behind the scenes film?" Harry asked. "Umm I guess you could play a real life Mark Cohen... You got a camera?" She asked him. He quickly withdrew an old muggle camera but it recorded sound. Becca gave him a thumbs up before walking away.

She clapped her hands loudly and put a finger to her lips for silence. "Okay I have made my final decision as far as parts. All of you here right now are going to participate in the cast and I want you to be happy with your parts because if you aren't the show will fall apart." She said sternly. "I will be announcing parts now!" she stood looking at the students and enjoying the fearful gazes.

"Mark Cohen portrayed by Neville Longbottom!" She called. Neville looked like he had just swallowed a whole apple. He had lost a lot of weight over the summer and looked very good but he had only expected ensemble!

" Roger Davis will be portrayed by Ron Weasly and we are bleaching your hair!" She announced to him his happiness dissipated with the prospect if dyeing his hair.

"Tom Collins will be played by Dean Thomas!" She carried on still watching the students nervous faces.

"Benjamin Coffin the third will be played by Michael Lewis, Joanne Jefferson will be played by Lexi Anderson" She looked and saw that Lexi had a big grin on her face. "Mimi Marquez will be portrayed by Mimi Granger!" Hermione looked around confused and realized that she was Mimi to Becca and she felt like she could scream instead she gave Ginny a bear hug who pushed her off. "Angel Dumott- Shunard will be played by Jake Summers!" He punched the air with joy. "Maureen Johnson will be played by Ginny Weasly!" Ginny got "MOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!" She called happily and everyone started laughing.

"Ensemble/Mark's Mom will be Luna Lovegood!" Luna smiled brightly. "Steve/Ensemble/Pastor/Mr. Grey will be Seamus Finnigan, Gordon/Ensemble/The Man will be Ernie Macmillan, Paul/Ensemble/Waiter/ Joanne's Father will be Roger Davies,Life Support/Ensemble/Roger's Mom will be Hannah Abbot," Each of them all excepted the parts with smiles and cheers from thier friends.

"Life Support/Mimi's mother/Bag woman Maria Dawson," Maria smiled happily why not she was the only fifth year to get a part! Or Three.

"Life Support/Alexi Darling will be Cho Chang, Joanne's Mother/Ensemble will be Susan Bones"

Becca smiled as she watched the students staring at her with a friendly look "Well it looks like all of you are ready for the first day of rehearsals so lets get cracking!" Most of them groaned and Harry whipped out his camera and started narrating.

"Day 1 Rehearsals for RENT start now!" He focused his camera on to Becca. "I have yet to hear any duets so lets practice some of those!" The students groaned as Becca sent them to work.
