AN: Good morning everyone and happy Tuesday. I am very sorry for not updating sooner but life gets in the way. Same with writer's block. It comes at the worst times. I hope to update more in the future, all of my stories in fact. So some of you have asked what my characters sound like when they sing and I like to reference The Phantom of the Opera at the Royal Albert Hall when I picture them. Now on a side note please don't forget that I started a new story called My Mockingjay, it's The Hunger Games from Peeta's perspective so please go check it out. So today is January 24, 2017 and this is the first chapter today. Once again anything you recognize is JK Rowling's and anything you don't is mine.

Hermione POV

I listened intently as Professor Burbage taught on Muggle electricity and what it did for them. It was rather basic and easy for me (after all I was Muggle-born) while the rest of the class struggled with it. Mind you my classmates didn't seem to be paying attention very closely. To be perfectly honest I couldn't blame them. The cast list would be posted by the end of the day. There had been no call backs on Wednesday and I didn't know if that was a good or bad thing.

Everyone was nervous, myself included, but it would be better if I focused on my studies instead of a cast list that would barely affect me. I wouldn't get a big role and I was okay with that, deep down I knew I would only get a minor role. Besides I needed to focus on my studies not on a Muggle musical that would distract me from finishing my schooling at the top of my class.

"Now does anyone know why I am teaching on Muggle electricity and why they use it?" Professor Burbage asked hovering in the front of the room.

"No," Neville said leaning back in his chair. "I don't even know what the bloody word means."

"Feet on the floor Mr. Longbottom and five points from Gryffindor for swearing." Professor Burbage said as she turned to the chalkboard and frowned darkly. The Professor wouldn't be able to write anything on the board now that she was a ghost. "Miss Weasley would you please come up here and write down the definition of the word electricity."

Ginny jumped up from her spot between Luna and myself and went to the board. She pulled a large dictionary closer to her and slowly wrote on the board. The science dealing with electrical charges and currents.

"Thank you Miss Weasley, you may be seated." Professor Burbage said turning to look at the class.

"We'll be using electricity for the Muggle play, won't we?" It took me a moment took recognize the soft, apathetic voice. It was Draco Malfoy. I turned to look at the man but he was absently staring out the window his eyes dark.

"Very good, Mr. Malfoy. Five points to Slytherin. Muggle electricity is fascinating and is very crucial to the production we will be putting on. What you need to remember as we go through the process of putting on this show is that Muggle's don't have magic, they can't make things levitate or move at will. They had to come up with different ways to make things work on stage when it shouldn't be possible."
"But we won't be working with the electricity." Seamus Finnigan said from the back of the room.

"You will but not directly. The seventh years won't be working on the electrical aspect of this show, that's the sixth years' job, but depending on the role you get there could be pyrotechnics, flashing lights, smoke, special lighting effects and countless other things. Could you imagine for a moment that you're onstage singing and you step in the wrong spot and get injured. That would be awful, no one wants that to happen. And that is why you need to know these things, so you won't get hurt."

There was some nervous muttering but I ignored it. As long as they followed Dora's and Ron's stage directions everyone would be fine.
The bell rang shrilly and Colin, who was sitting behind me, jumped up so fast he knocked his chair over. There was quite the stampede as my classmates ran to their dormitories where the cast list had been posted. Luna and Ginny were both standing by my side as I slowly got up from my seat.

"Are you ready to do this?" Ginny asked linking her arm through mine.

"No." I said blowing out a heavy breath.

"Let's do this." Luna said winding her arm through mine. The three of us made our way out into the hall and up to Gryffindor tower. I had never seen Hogwarts so empty before and it was rather unnerving. We told the Fat Lady the password ("Sforzando") and the gateway opened. Luna was considered an honorary Gryffindor and spent half her time in our dormitory, no one really minded.

It was quite the stampede once we got through the portrait hole to be honest.

"Maybe we should wait?" I asked hesitantly as students from each year pushed each other out of the way to get closer to the giant noticeboard.

"Congratulations Hermione! You too Ginny, Luna." Fay Dunbar said before running up to our dormitory.

"Uh-oh." I whispered feeling my stomach flutter. Some of the girls around the room where glaring at the three of us while others looked shocked.

Luna dropped her arm from mine and quickly pushed her way through the crowd. She gasped sharply and turned to look at me. I swallowed thickly and slowly made my way up to the giant poster that took up a quarter of the wall.

I gasped so hard I thought I would fall over. Luna and Ginny both quickly grabbed my hands and led me across the common room to one of the squishy overstuffed armchairs by the fireplace. I fell, stunned, into the chair.

"I guess you weren't expecting this." Luna said patting my hand gently. All I could do was blink in response. No I had not been expecting this! I had been expecting a small role in the chorus! Bloody hell.

I moaned and dropped my head into my hands. This was not happening, no I must have been dreaming. Dreaming, yes I was dreaming.

"Hey Granger!" I jumped and looked up. Romilda Vane was smirking and pointed at the cast list. She had hated me ever since a rumor had gone around the Harry and I were dating after the war. "Have fun making out with Snape!"

There were startled gasps around the room and one second year girl I didn't know even screamed. My heart slammed in my chest and it took me a moment to make sense of her words. Making out with Snape, why would I ever have to do that? And then it slowly clicked into place. I hadn't checked who the Phantom was. No, I had been too shocked at my own casting to even check it.

It took me a moment to respond and I was looking at Ginny and Luna in horror when I whispered the words, "M-My Angel of Music is Who?!"

AN: Please Review! It helps so much more than you realize. Reviews help me create a story that everyone loves. And the only way to make sure I know you all like it is with reviews telling me what you think, what you love and hate about it. Also any ideas you have would be greatly appreciated and I would give you credit if I used your idea in the Author's Note. Seriously guys every little bit helps. The definition of electricity is from the online Dictionary website.
