Enjoy! :}
In the month following the opening of audition letters all the auditioners (*1) (is this a word?) looked over their lines endlessly and practiced their chosen audition pieces. Hermione had chosen one part in the series' first episode where her character, Selene Broadway was singing- she knew she could pull it off easily and hoped that no one else had chosen that part. She doubted they would because even though the lyrics were easy, well they were hard to pull off if you didn't put in the right emotions into the piece.
Ginny had decided to do a part where she was to play her guitar and sing in another language- she didn't have to worry about the audience not understanding because there was a screen where the audience could see the translations bright as day. She did this because she loved the sound of foreign music and she'd always wanted to try it. Well now was her chance and she was determined to rock at it.
Luna however wanted to shake things up a bit so she chose the part at the end of the first episode where she and her 'brother', Dimitri Hollywood were fighting. It was probably the most exciting scene in the whole first episode judging from what parts they had in their scripts.
"Gin, how's the song coming?" Hermione called walking up the stairs into the Weasley's attic which the girls had claimed nearly seven years ago for their practices. The Weasley house was the most central of the three houses which was why they chose it.
"Almost perfect," Ginny called back. "All I need now is to get back up singers and other musicians so that it sounds fuller. Could you and Luna help?"
"While Luna may speak fluent Japanese," Hermione said sitting down on the piano they'd dragged up there that summer. "I only know a few choice words. Though I suppose that I could try; it would be a great experience."
"Yay," Ginny cheered. "Come on let's go get Luna! She won't mind because she's already memorized not only her audition piece but her lines along with your lines and mine."
"How did she get her hands on our scripts?"
"We won't live long enough to find out," Ginny laughed dragging Hermione back down the stairs and they ran down the street to Luna's house. Luna had always been a little strange which was why they'd friended her. She'd always do something strange that no one could explain and she'd never tell anyone how to do it- it was to the point that the twins wanted to hire her for their troublemaking's.
"Ugh, how long until these stupid auditions start?" Draco complained. "I'm so bored!"
"Sorry dude but we still have four days before the auditions though the auditioners should start arriving any day now," Blaise said equally bored. He'd banned his friends from drinking that whole month so they'd stayed remarkable sober after that last incident- and thankfully the police and more importantly the press hadn't caught on to it.
"Could always go to the gym, Dray," Harry said also bored. "Still want that six-pack don't you?"
"Yeah, I guess," Draco sighed and Theo laughed.
"So have any of you actually looked at your scripts besides me?" Blaise asked looking at his friends. "Judging by your faces I'll take that as a no."
"I looked at mine," Theo said smirking.
"How many times was that?" Blaise asked. "And did you go any farther than the cover page?"
Theo stopped smirking. "Shut it Blaise."
"Thought so," Blaise smirked. "Hurry it up and go get your scripts; that's what we're going to be working on until all three of you have them spot on perfect. We will not be getting any re-do's because of you three Idiots."
Harry, Theo, and Draco all got up and trudged out of the room sighing. They were all thinking the same thing: We are so dead.
"Narcissa Darling?" Lucius Malfoy approached his beloved wife who was sitting in their living room window overlooking the gardens.
"Yes, what is it, Lucius?" Narcissa asked turning in her seat to look at him.
"Should you still go and oversee the auditions with me?" Lucius asked worriedly. His wife had been sick for the past couple weeks and he didn't know what was wrong with her; he was deeply worried about her health since she could barely keep any food down.
"I'm fine Lucius," Narcissa reassured her husband, knowing what exactly he was thinking. "It's just a teensy tiny bit of morning sickness. The doctors say it should ease up a bit in about two to three months."
"Morning sickness?" Lucius asked going pale. "As in the morning sickness that comes with pregnancy?"
"Yes, Lucius, that morning sickness," Narcissa sighed as her husband passed out on the floor. "You'd think that after the first one he wouldn't get so worked up about another, even if it has been nineteen years."
"Hermione, are you ready?" Mrs. Granger called up the stairs. "The plane leaves in an hour and we need to get going before we miss it!"
"Almost ready Mom!" Hermione called as she shoved her point shoes some books and her laptop into a rather large travel bag. "There all set."
"Hermione, hurry up or we'll leave the female lead behind," Ginny called up.
"So mean, Weasley," Hermione called back down. "And besides, here I come."
Hermione aimed her travel bag over the stair rail and chucked it at Ginny who caught it. "You could've hurt me, Granger!"
"You lived!" Hermione laughed as she descended the stairs with two of her four suitcases. "And remember who we get to see, so forgive me."
"Lucky," Ginny sighed. "If only I could become the female lead."
"Still," Hermione laughed. "You're getting paired with Potter."
"Still, Draco's much sexier with that four-pack and platinum hair," Ginny sighed. "Oh, and those eyes…"
"Okay, you can stop drooling now and help me bring my stuff out to the van," Hermione teased while mock punching Ginny with her elbow.
"We're going to be late you know," Luna said going up the stairs to go grab another of Hermione's suitcases for her. The two girls looked at each other and scrambled to get the rest of their things into the van.
The plane ride was seven hour's including the rest stops; without the stops the plane ride was about 5.5-6 hours. They'd gotten first class seating so that the ride was actually quite comfortable and enjoyable. The downside however was when Ginny and Ron both found out that they were scared to death of the view and had to sit in the isles the whole time. The twin's laughed at both of them for the whole ride even when other passengers complained and the flight attendants told them to shut up or get off at the next rest stop (which was their actual destination.)
"Holy crow, that was fun," Fred laughed seeing his younger siblings bolt off the plane as fast as they could when it landed.
"I'd say that ranked in the top five trips we've ever been on, don't you say Fred?" George laughed along with his twin until Mrs. Weasley smacked them both on the back of their heads and proceeded to scold them in public.
Hermione and Luna ignored the commotion while they searched for their escort to the hotel they would be staying in. The Malfoy's had sent three limousines for the girls and had booked their stay at one of their many hotel's in the area. When they located three men in suits holding signs for each of the girls they dragged their family over.
"Hello, I am Hermione Granger," Hermione said shaking the hands of each of the driver's. "And this is Luna Lovegood and that girl over there with the red hair is Ginny Weasley. Everyone else is family."
"Pleasure to meet you, Miss'," the drivers said in unison before leading them to the limousines. I took the a half hour to get to the hotel from the Airport and they immediately checked into their rooms and went to unpack and got ready to go over to the Malfoy mansion where the girls and their parents had been invited for a quick get together before the auditions for the TV series officially started.
"Luna, I think you should wear that lavender full length dress," Hermione said as her friend looked through the cloths she'd brought. "You know the one with the halter top."
"And you should wear that emerald one with long sleeves, the V-neck that it basically skin fit till about mid-thigh," Ginny told Hermione. "I'm going to wear my red-brown one that looks kind of like those dress' ancient Chinese girls wore."
"Hermione, can I borrow those white strappy heels you bought from NMC?" Luna asked picking up the lavender dress.
"As long as I can use your dark green ones," Hermione replied putting on her dress, thankful that it fit.
"I'm stealing your chocolate brown pumps, 'Mione," Ginny called from the closet.
"Let me put your hair in a French twist, Luna," Hermione said getting out her hair supplies while Ginny put on her shoes.
"Oh, I call her make up," Ginny said as she got the last shoe on and fetched her make up kit.
It went on like that for nearly an hour before their parents threatened to leave without them.
"Ready," all three girls cried in unison racing as fast as they could while still being graceful in the death-like heels. "Don't leave us!"
"Ugh, why do Mom and Dad have to ruin my favorite night of the week (Friday) by throwing a gathering of auditioners?" Draco groaned.
"Hey, there'll be hot girls, Dray," Harry said suggestively.
"So you can work your British charm and leave none for the rest of us?" Blaise laughed.
"Shut it, you Italian's for some reason keep getting more girls than us Brits," Harry joked back.
"Hey I'm half Greek!"
"Yeah, yeah, yeah," Harry laughed. "You remind us often enough. And besides, most of the sexier chicks swoon for Draco then proceed to forget the rest of us."
"So unfair!" Theo complained. "Between you three there are no Sexy or reasonably hot girls left for me!"
"Not our fault you're Russian," Harry, Draco, and Blaise joked back in unison.
"Hey, I'm not the one who started the Cold War so why does being of Russian decent make me the least desirable," Theo laughed. "I am pretty decent."
"Only once they get to know you," Harry said.
"And forget about us," Draco put in smugly.
"And get past your drinking habits," Blaise laughed.
"Shesh, you three are harsh," Theo whined.
"Come's with the friendship, my friend," Draco laughed mock punching Theo's arm. Within five minutes they were all wrestling and trying to prove dominance while ruining their outfits for the night. Or at least they were till their mothers came in and started yelling at them to stop fighting and get ready all over again or else... They complied in a hurry; even though they were all at different levels of spoiled, all four knew to never mess with their mothers.
As the Limousine approached Malfoy Manor not only did the girls gasp but their parent's also joined in. The front of the Manor was a giant garden of countless types of flowers. The drive approached the front where a huge circle drive allowed the limousines to leave easier. There were lights everywhere and the Manor itself was ginormous and looked to be hand carved out of marble. To say it was beautiful was an understatement by the nth degree.
"Oh wow," Luna sighed.
"Holy mother of Judah," Ginny gaped wide eyed. "Who knew that something could be this beautiful besides the white house? Wonder how much the taxes on this place are."
"Probably millions," Hermione said. "If I had enough money to own this place I'd just buy a nice looking normal house and spend the rest of my money on learning and Dancing."
"But that's you 'Mione," Ginny stated looking at the brunette. "Not everyone can live a simple life and not want the world."
"True," Luna said. The girls started laughing while their parents were still staring at the front of the giant Manor house.
"Welcome to Malfoy Manor," a servant greeted them at the door. "If you would hand me your jackets please, Margaret will show you to the Ball Room."
"Oh my God, they have an actual Ball Room," Ginny squealed handing the servant her outer layer.
"Actually, Miss, we have seven ball rooms," the servant Margaret said as she led them towards a huge set of double doors at the end of the hallway. "We're currently only using the smallest one because we have so few guests."
They entered the ball room and Hermione gasped, "You call this small?"
"Yes, this is small," a tall blonde French looking woman said approaching the group. "Hello, my name is Narcissa Malfoy. My husband, Lucius, is the director for 'Broadway V.s. Hollywood', and my son, Draco, is acting the male lead Dimitri."
"It's nice to make your acquaintance, Mrs. Malfoy," Hermione said curtsying and kissing the older woman's hand. The others did the same but instead of curtsying, the men bowed. "My name is Hermione Granger. I'm auditioning for the role of the Female Lead, Selene Broadway. This is my friend Luna, who is auditioning for the role of Dimitri's younger sister Annabeth. And this is my other friend Ginny Weasley, who is auditioning for the role of Selene's best friend Tasha O'Brian."
"Ah, I know who you are, Ms. Granger," Narcissa said smiling. "We saw your concert The Nutcracker. My husband and I went that last night and we simply loved it. It was then that we decided to confirm you as an auditioner. I do so hope that you'll succeed."
"Thank you, Mrs. Malfoy," Hermione said curtsying again.
"Oh, don't be silly," Narcissa said. "Call me Narcissa; there is no need to be so formal, Hermione."
"Thank you, Narcissa," Hermione smiled.
'Yes, I do think this girl is the one who is perfect for the role of Selene,' Narcissa thought happily. 'She'll be a real pleasure to work with and she's not spoiled rotten like most of the other auditioners.'
They chatted for a few minutes before Narcissa had to go and greet some of the other guests and in that time the group wandered in different directions to meet other people. Once Narcissa left Hermione went in search of Ginny and Luna.
"Oof," Hermione grunted as she walked in to something hard and warm, falling down in the process.
"Watch where you're going," a cold voice said from above her.
She looked up into the molten silver eyes of none other than Draco L. Malfoy, the most talented actor of his age seen in the last fifty years. "I'm sorry, Mr. Malfoy. I was looking for my friends and I didn't see you there."
Draco grunted before turning back to his friends whom she'd just noticed. Among his friends were none other than Harry J. Potter- one of if not the most talented singers of their generation- Blaise Zabini- male model, second in the singing career second to only Harry, and famous actor- and Theo Nott- gorgeous Russian actor known for his lead role as Romeo in one of the newer versions of 'Romeo and Juliet.' There were others in the group but those four were the top dogs.
Hermione apologized again before hastily retreating to go back to her search for her friends, though this time she had gossip to share.
"Wow, that girl was hot," Theo whistled as he watched the brunette hastily retreat. "Why'd you have to snap at her, Dray?"
"She was annoying," Draco said. "She was probably looking for more than her so called 'friends'."
"Shesh, that's harsh," Blaise said. "And what if she truly was only looking for her friends?"
"Then all the better," Draco said his voice getting colder by the second. "Not only will she leave me alone from now on, but her friends will too."
"Your evil, you know that Dray?" Harry said. "I'm not even that harsh. I at least try to be nice and polite."
"Which is also why your fan girls won't leave you alone," Draco growled.
Blaise rolled his eyes and changed the subject before they escalated to a full on battle in front of all the guests.
