A/N: Sorry for lack of updates the story must go on!
Becca smiled as she made notes on her clip board as Ginny and Lexi finished Take Me or Leave Me. These students were so artistic they could easily be Off-Broadway or even farther. "Okay now that we have gone through all our duets for the first time around I want to go over La Vie Boheme, I taught you the basics yesterday and today I want you to add your own flair." Becca explained to the group of students and then glanced at the clock, "Scratch that, we will come back to La Vie Boheme this evening for our second practice." She grinned clapping her hands together the students picked up there things and left.
Outside the cast of sixteen plus Harry all headed off in their own directions to their various classes Harry, Ron and Hermione had Transfiguration with Lexi and Neville, While Ginny and Luna went off to Potions in the dungeons. "Hermione?" Lexi asked as they were walking, "I know we have never really talked before but you are a great singer!" Lexi smiled. "You are too!" Hermione smiled back as they opened the door to Professor McGonagall's room, even though they were just at play practice they still managed to get there early. "Hello Professor," Lexi nodded her head as she took her seat the others followed suit as Mcgonagall arose and looked around "You are awfully early the five of you weren't you just with ?" The five nodded, not long after students started to trickle in and class began.

Later that evening the cast members were all gathered outside the rehearsal space they were referring to it as now. Becca hadn't shown up yet and the door was charmed shut, so they all were gathered around in a small circle some sitting on the ground, a few standing and one leaning against the wall that was Jake. "So what are we going to do if Bex doesn't show?" he asked looking at the crowed that surrounded him.
"What do you mean if Bex doesn't show up?" A voice asked but the owner was unknown. "I mean what if she went AWOL? What if we were that bad?" Jake continued talking to the detached voice without noticing the rest of the students slight giggles and that Harry had his camera aimed directly at Jake.
"First you were anything but bad, and second she didn't go AWOL!" The voice laughed and the crowd's laughter became more noticeable but Jake was still oblivious. "And how do you know that?" Jake asked the voice, "Because I'm right here!" Jake turned to see Becca standing right next to him and he appeared like he had a heart attack. "Is he still alive or am I going to have to perform CPR on this guy?" Becca spoke as she unlocked the door and went inside the students followed Jake was in the back walking slowly with his head held slightly low like a wounded dog.
"Okay we are to continue where we left off which was La Vie Boheme before we do anything I want to make sure we all know the words correctly no matter how embarrassing they are," Becca scanned the room to make sure all were at attention. "You would not believe how many times I have had to work with actors who could never get the words right and that ends now!" With a flick of her wand lyrics landed in everyone even Harry's hand. "Since I taught you the basic tune I will call your name and you will read off your line in the tune you have learned." Becca explained.
"First the lovely Mimi will you start for us with 'Dorothy and Toto' without Neville okay?" Hermione nodded took a couple of calming breathes before she started.
Hermione:
Like Dorothy and Toto
Went over the rainbow
Just to blow off
Auntie Em!
"Good, good but you need to let go a little bit more okay? You seem to have tensed up a bit since earlier," Becca commented. Hermione nodded before trying again this time it was brighter and humorous. "Fantastic! Moving on… Neville you try that line." Neville looked at the page before repeating what Hermione had just sang with just as much if not more enthusiasm. "I knew you guys would get into this!" Becca exclaimed happily before continuing calling out various names and lines. They continued that way through the end of practice.
"VIVA LA VIE BOHEME!" The whole cast cried out at once, Becca jumped out of her chair "That was great! I hate to say it but we are done for tonight, but just keep it up!" Becca punched the air and dismissed the cast and Harry.
A/N: Short but sweet I think next we will fast forward a few weeks to set building and dancing.
