Choir
When Megan and I practiced songs for the choir auditions, I tried loads of different ones, but in the end I chose 'Greensleeves' because its old and practically everyone knows it, so I could just sing and not worry about the words or anything.
When I was in the common room getting ready my stomach kept turning over and over and I was afraid I might be sick but I wasnt. I waited for Megan a long time but then I had to go because I didn't want to be late and make Professor Carpenter cross. Even so I was almost late anyhow because the music room isn't very close to Hufflepuff and the staircases kept moving around.
But I finally got there and I was so releived that everyone was just sitting down and they hadn't started yet. Professor Carpenter called everyone up by last name so I was one of the first ones--I'm not sure if that was good or bad. Some people had brought sheet music with them for the girl who plays the piano (I've seen her before but I dont remember her name). I didn't realize we were supposed to do that, but she had a book with common songs and 'Greensleeves' was in it so that was alright.
Once she started to play it was like I heard the notes ringing in my head and I just sang and forgot all about the people who were there; it was like someone had cast a Hypnotising Charm on me that lasted until the last note. I still don't really know if I was good or bad though.
Afterwards I just sat and waited and listened to the others; there were quite a few so I dont remember them all, but I do remember Vicky Frobisher did a Celestina Warbeck song and I have to admit she was good even though I don't like Celestina Warbeck at all. I was sort of hoping someone might do a rock song, like Gary Grimoire or the Warlocks or something, but I guess those aren't really right for choir.
It would have been nice to have someone to wish me luck, but I think I'll do alright on my own.
