Sunday Oralndo. Hard Drive Productions for Harry Potter World Auditons.

When I was in the 6th grade, Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix was released. I decided to show my enthusiasm by dressing up as Fleur Delacour for the premier party. And was chosen as the best dressed, receiving the first copy of the night.  Naturally, with my poise, and charm, and relatively good dance skills I was destined to become a Beauxbatons student in Harry Potter World Japan.

I bought a brand new, French Blue Leotard, seamed tights, and listened to an actor deliver lessons in how to speak in a french accent. Despite my recent failures my destiny would take hold.  This was better than Alice.

The audition was different. I registered a month in advance. 'A' auditioned in LA, the week prior, so I would knew what to expect. It was a perfect set up.

'A' said they took, what she considered weaker dancers, without much upper body strength, but flirty and fabulous smiles. And that suited me just perfect.

There were 20 of us. They took our picture. We actually filled out forms (no one ever gets to that in Disney lol). Giving our vocal ranges, special abilities, everything.

I felt stupid. I was the only one dressed to the nines. Everyone else had on their contemporary clothes, despite this being a "Ballet Audition".  I decided to use my seemingly obnoxious outfit to my benefit. I looked serious. Not like those other girls.

They went fast through the movement. I focused like my life depended on it (It did depend on it, I couldn't, and wouldn't go home defeated.) I danced, and smiled, as turned, and jumped. My life's training culminated at that point. I was off my music a little, but I didn't stop. I was lovely, and happy, and stood watching the others dance, knowing I would be off to Japan in no time.

A few girls were weak. Especially in their upper body. No one was smiling as much as me either :) One girl though, was AMAZING. Perfect. Hands down she was going with me to Japan.

And guess what?

They didn't take her.

And they didn't take me!

They took those silly weak girls, who I personally thought were just a but awkward.

I was devastated this time. But I couldn't show it. Couldn't let anyone know. That's not Chloe style latley. I played it off, whatever, did I really want to move to Japan? No, it was just for fun.

But I will be back next year.
