Hey so sorry I haven't updated in so long I've been bogged down with research homework but here's the next chapter. Keep on reviewing

Chapter 7 a little fight

Harry kept training Ginny every day for the next few weeks leading up to the performance, though some days weren't as productive as others. Harry continued to go to rehearsals and watch though most of the time he came out wishing to bang his head against the wall or with a major headache.

He had also stated to both madams that under no circumstances where they to ask for his help again, he had been questioned for days on end by the members of Gryffindor house about his dancing ability and he had taken to hiding out in the room of requirements most of the time.

It was now one week before the final show with just 4 more rehearsals until the dress rehearsal and harry was beginning to lose it. He still did his homework during rehearsals and most of the time continued with the silencing charm but when he didn't he had to constantly remind himself of why he did not want to interfere.

That evening after dinner he walked with Ginny to the rehearsal, they had managed to keep their relationship a secret luckily for harry who was certain that the second Ron found out he would be at the receiving end of many death threats.

As harry sat down and began his potions essay he decided to forgo the silencing charm today, Ginny was singing one of his favourite songs which he had coached her on just last week so he wanted to hear how she would do.

The cast began the play and harry watched as they got the blocking and choreography for the first scene exactly as he had taught them, maybe there was hope for them yet.

He continued smiling as the play went on, he had taught Ginny well her rendition of think of me was truly beautiful, as he listened an idea suddenly came to mind and he pulled out a scrap of spare parchment quickly scribbling a note on it.

He got up and sneaked over to the other side of the hall near the doors where the two madams were sitting. He stood behind them, leaning against the wall and slipped them the note.

Madame Richeston finished first and she turned to him eyebrows raised. Harry simply shrugged and waited for Madame Heinsoon to finish.

"What do you think?" He asked

"If she comes from recommendation of you then I'm sure he'll agree" Madame Heinsoon said.

"And he'll get to meet her at Christmas, so yes we will pass along the message" Madame Richeston added.

Harry grinned as he turned back to the play and realised they had reached little Lottie. He listened and watched as Ron sang to Ginny. He was an o.k. singer really, but to harry it was obvious that his acting left much to be desired.

For example the way he was looking at Ginny now, he seemed almost disgusted by the fact he had to act as a love sick man with his sister. Harry shook his head and made his way back to his desk packing away his books and parchment. He had a feeling he would need to make a quick getaway.

As Ron left the stage harry braced himself for the torture as Malfoy's thin voice began to wail from the stage. He hastily conjured ear plugs with a spell he had found last week for this purpose and began trying to sneak to the back of the room.

Unfortunately even the earmuffs couldn't block out Malfoy's awful singing and harry pulled them out vanishing them and turning smartly on his heel striding towards the door hoping no-one would see him.

But it seemed his luck was against him today as the music suddenly stopped as Malfoy yelled

"POTTER!"

Harry sighed and turned back to face the hall the occupants of which were all now staring at him,

"Yes Malfoy?" He asked

"What do you think you are doing, walking out on my performance?" Malfoy replied

"Oh, you call that a performance do you Malfoy?" harry asked as he strode further into the room dumping his bag next to the door. "Because I call it HELL!" He yelled the last part and everyone jumped.

"Now I know none of you have any appreciation for the fine art that is opera, if you did you wouldn't even dare put this play on, but to say that was a performance undermines all of the arts" Harry began.

"So your saying you can do better potter?" asked Malfoy

"Malfoy, if I didn't know I could do better I wouldn't have started this argument" Harry retorted

"Really," Malfoy drawled "Prove it"

Harry smiled as he heard a chuckle from behind him that sounded distinctly like Madame Richeston. This was what he had been waiting for,

"Fine I will" harry said, barely concealing his smirk as he made his way up to the stage, as he walked he pointed his wand to his palm and whispered an incantation making a white mask appear there, he then placed his wand at the side of his head whispering another incantation and making a glamour form there showing grotesque scaring.

He slipped the mask on and kept it in place with a mild sticking charm before shedding his outer robe just off stage leaving him in a tight muscle shirt and three quarter length tracksuit bottoms, he muttered another spell pointing to his feet and his shoes turned to jazz shoes.

He stalked onto stage getting into the character of the phantom as he walked towards Malfoy who was beginning to cower slightly at the expression on Harry's face. Malfoy shoved the script which he had been holding towards harry but harry simply smirked and shoved him aside.

"I don't need it" he said.

Harry turned to Ginny who had been watching all of this with a slight smirk on her face and bent down slightly to whisper in her ear

"Exactly as we practised, ok?"

She simply nodded in reply and harry turned to face the audience,

"From the beginning of little Lottie if you please" He stalked of stage and waited for his cue as he stood behind the mirror.

He heard Ron telling Ginny that he would go get his hat and took a deep breath in mentally preparing himself. He waited until he heard the door click then watched as all the lights were magically blown out. He took a deep cleansing breath before opening his mouth and beginning to sing.

Insolent boy!
This slave of fashion basking in your glory!

His voice easily filled the entire hall without any magical enhancement and a few of the girls in the audience shivered at the intensity of it. Without letting any of this faze him harry continued looking out of the mirror at Ginny

Ignorant fool!
This brave young suitor, sharing in my triumph!

He stopped as Ginny began to sing her lines exactly as they had worked on for the last week, he watched as she played the part of Christine perfectly looking around scared but curious

Angel! I hear you!
Speak - I listen ... stay by my side, guide me!

Angel, my soul was
weak - forgive me ... enter at last, Master!

He smiled as she hit the right notes then began to sing again, getting slowly louder as he sang his lines.

Flattering child you shall know me, see why in shadow
I hide!

Look at your face in the mirror -
I am there inside!

He watched as Ginny turned to face the mirror and as the lighting changed making the mask visible, as they had practised Ginny began a slow walk towards the mirror seemingly enthralled by his voice as were most of the female population of the audience

Angel of Music!
Guide and guardian!
Grant to me your Glory!

Angel of Music! Hide no longer!
Come to me, strange
Angel ...

He began quietly when Ginny finished her lines, his voice going slightly husky but still just as strong as before

I am your Angel ...
Come to me: Angel of Music ...

Harry smiled inside as he saw Ron almost miss his cue so surprised was he by Harry's singing abilities

Whose is that voice ...?
Who is that in there ...?

Harry ignored Ron and continued singing as he reached a hand out to the mirror to slide it across to admit Ginny who was now right in front of the mirror.

I am your Angel of Music ...
Come to me: Angel of Music ...

He gently took Ginny's hand and pulled her through the mirror as he held the last note. He shut the mirror just as Ron opened the door and finished the song

Christine! Angel!

Harry smiled at Ginny and looked around, seeing no-one else there he slipped off his mask and gave her a quick kiss. Ginny smiled up at him and hugged him delighted.

"That was amazing" she said into his ear

"Ahh, I live to please madam" Harry said in his low silky phantom voice.

Ginny gave off an involuntary shiver and stepped out of the embrace grabbing Harry's hand instead.

"Come on" she said, "We need to see your adoring fans"

Harry rolled his eyes but allowed her to drag him back on stage, as he went he reversed the spells he had done earlier and grabbed his outer robe.

He then still being tugged by Ginny walked out to centre stage and stared at Malfoy who was sat gobsmacked in the front row.

"Remember Malfoy, I am better than you, you are only phantom because I refuse to try out for a play that will not do the original justice" Harry said in a low voice.

Everyone sat silent still except the two madams who were sat at the back laughing into their hands. Harry rolled his eyes when he saw them and turned to leave the stage brushing against Ginny as he did so.

"Meet me in the room of requirements after rehearsals yeah?" he whispered before stalking off the stage. He grabbed his bag by the door and turned to leave.

Just as he reached the door he stopped and turned around

"Before I forget" harry said as he pulled out his wand and shot two spells at the still laughing choreographers.

He turned and strode out of the hall not even waiting to see the aftermath of his spells.

It was those two spells that broke the rest of the audience out of their trance as most of them fell to the ground laughing though a few glared at the door after harry disapprovingly.

Eventually Dumbledore was able to get everyone under control again and rehearsals started up again but no-one could get Harry's singing out of their minds.
