'Midnight Shimmer' Necklace
Designed by:
Difficulty: Beginner
SALE MAKE - please note that the specific items used in this project will only be avaiable for a limited time as they are in our Winter Clearance Sale. You can easily subsitute these for similar items.
Create a statement necklace easily, using only a handful of materials, including stunning Obsidian gemstones and gold Zamak accent beads.
Cut approx. 50cms of your illusion cord from the reel. Close a crimp bead on one end of the cord, as close to the end as possible. Add a calotte over the top of this crimp bead and close it.
Begin to thread on your beads, start with 3 obsidian beads, then alternate between a gold Zamak spacer bead and another Obsidian bead. Repeat until you are approx. 10 beads into your design.
Take one of your hammered rings, and using your illusion cord, thread through the holes around one side, and finish at the bottom centre. Take care to show as little cord as possible on the visible side of your hammered ring, much like you would in sewing.
Continue adding your beads in the same pattern previously used (1 Obsidian, 1 gold spacer). Continue until you've added approximately 8 more beads in total. Add another hammered ring in the same way as your last one, threading your cord from the bottom of the ring up to the top centre.
Finish your necklace by matching the bead pattern on the top section of the opposite side of your necklace. Add a calotte onto your cord, followed by a crimp bead. Holding both of these flush to the last bead, squash your crimp bead and close your calotte into place. Trim any excess cord off using cutters.
Add a jumpring and a lobster clasp to one calotte; and a jumpring or extension chain to the other to serve as your clasp closure.
Finally, using two jumprings attached to a tassel charm, add to the centre middle of your beaded necklace to complete!

Disclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter etc. I am only messing with the characters.
Author's Note: Please read this before reading the story, to clear up a few things. This story is going to be AU. It takes place in Hermione's seventh year of Hogwarts. Also, Dumbledore is alive, Slughorn is still the Potions professor, and Snape is, of course, the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor. Enjoy!
Chapter One - Problems
I had never thought much about the one year age gap between Harry, Ron, and me until recently. I'm sure that to some, one year means very little. However, it is proven that girls mature much faster than boys; and although Harry and Ron are very smart and clever in their own ways, it doesn't much amount to their maturity level. It also doesn't help that our interests have begun to differ to the point of argument – me, of course, with my books, and them with Quidditch, and, as of the past two years or so, and increasing interest in girls.
As awkward as this may be, I can't say I haven't been thinking about boys differently myself – because, in fact, I have since I was thirteen. But their interest in girls is much different than mine in boys – and I have more often than not picked up the drift of many of their conversations about them. I am not sure if it is normal to talk of girls as much as they tended to last year – and, quite frankly, the manner in which they spoke of them was rather distasteful. I am thankful, however, that I have never heard my name in any of these discussions, and was hoping that this year would be the same. But when I arrived at the Burrow in early July, I received a surprise that knocked anything so trivial from my mind.
From the moment I arrived, I noticed a large change in both Harry and Ron. Harry was quiet and spoke only when spoken to; Ron, on the other hand, talked very much. He rambled most of the time, and I felt it was to fill up the abundance of silence Harry left hanging in the air. I won't deny that I didn't help contribute to this. Everything was so awkward; I didn't know what to do. However, I must admit it was almost comical to see and hear poor Ron make up for all of the silence by himself, but Harry knew as well as I that there was no longer anything to say. Everyone knew the truth about Harry's destiny, and I'm afraid that it had begun to weigh heavily on Harry's heart. While I could have said something, anything, to comfort him, no words could come. There were times when I almost did say something, but the words became lost in my mouth somehow, causing me to swallow them back down.
Needless to say, we all of us spent a lot of time alone at the Burrow that summer.
Once at school, I began a very demanding daily routine. Mainly it involved studying, of course. To this day, I still can't imagine why I spent so much time studying, as I have an excellent memory and I knew everything I studied. I would guess that studying was the only thing that helped me escape the hassles of life, which, up to that point, were actually not that bad. Once I began my seventh year, I noticed the lessons and homework that the professors gave us were harder than I had ever imagined. But if Harry and Ron were struggling, I never knew of it.
Because in fact, I had hoped that the start of the new school year would knock some sense into the both of them, but mainly Harry. However, I had hoped in vain. Harry had taken up a habit of staring out of the window in the Gryffindor common room, while Ron was hardly ever there at all. I felt as if our "trio" was slowly beginning to melt away, much like the snowflakes of the first snow. I tried several times on different occasions to engage Harry in a conversation, but he shrugged them off. If he absolutely had to speak, he responded with one or two worded answers. My heart ached for him horribly. Then, on October the first, I decided to give it one more shot.
After dinner that night, I found Harry sitting by the window, staring out of it as if he were expecting something, like he did every night. Everyone had gotten used to it by now, but I sat down next to him and was silent for some time, watching him.
As much as I would hate to say it on any other occasion, he had grown up, in more ways that I had ever noticed. His face was sharper, the angles were more pronounced. He had let his hair grow out over the summer, and while it did frame his face nicely, I couldn't help but think that he didn't grow it out just to change his look; it was more or less the fact that he didn't care how he looked. His eyes, as green as ever, had changed as well. They reflected a sadness I couldn't name, and I felt an intense emotion of sadness and hopelessness watching him.
"Harry…" I began. I had no idea what to say. Our almost icy silence toward each other wasn't something I knew how to mend. I wanted to reach out to him, to hug him, to do anything to let him know that I still cared for him, that I still loved him as the best friend I had ever had.
"Harry…" I said again, my voice wavering. He wouldn't even look at me. "Please, Harry, just look at me for one moment."
He obliged, turning his face towards me. Our eyes met for one moment, and then he looked down at his hands, which were resting in his lap.
"I don't know what's gotten into you lately Harry…but I just wanted to let you know that I…that I still care for you, no matter how much you choose to ignore me. We're in this together, aren't we? Aren't we, Harry?"
I don't know what made me ask him that with such question in my voice. I knew we were in this together; Harry, Ron, and me. But after asking the question, hearing the words come out of my mouth, I began to doubt myself. Were we in this together?
Harry was silent for the longest time. I found myself almost dreading his response. I wanted him to nod, I wanted him to say, "Yeah, of course, 'Mione," and everything to be back to normal. I wanted Ron, Harry and I to start laughing again, to stay up until all hours of the night doing homework and scheming about nothing in particular. I missed our friendship; I missed Harry.
Just as I was about to give up hope, as I was about to turn and leave him alone, I heard him speak.
"Hermione…it's over. You can't deny it. Ron's still trying to. Dumbledore expects so much of me. I'm as good as dead. It's over."
"No! No, Harry. You know that's not true!"
Harry said nothing. He turned his head to look out of the window again, his face bearing an emotion I had never seen on it before. He looked…defeated.
And then I left him.
I'm not entirely sure of why I left him. I could have stayed, I could have tried to coax more words out of him, to break him down, to make him realize his withdrawal from us was unhealthy, or even borderline mad. But, as I practically ran down countless flights of stairs, I realized Harry was right. He was so right.
This wasn't my battle, or even Ron's. This was Harry's battle, the battle between him and Voldemort. I was a stupid girl for ever thinking that anything I could do would help save him from what he had to do. When he confronts Voldemort for the last time, he will be alone, and neither I nor Ron would be there to help him. Up until this point, I had so much faith in the fact that Harry was strong, and that he was brave, and he could never die when facing Voldemort. It had been that way on numerous occasions. But I mentally slapped myself when I thought about it. Harry had been lucky each time he faced him. Sheer, talent less, unconvincing luck.
After rushing through the halls of Hogwarts, I became quite breathless. I slid to the floor, contemplating everything that has been happening, and everything that would happen in the near, unsuspecting future. I panted, my heart thumping madly in my chest. I wiped my forehead with the back of my hand. And then, quite suddenly, I began to cry.
Oh, all of the reasons to cry! I was crying for Harry, and for Ron. I was crying because I was frustrated. I cried because of all the homework I had to do, and the demands of my professors day in and day out. I cried because I didn't know what else to do.
Finally, I made myself regain composure. I gave a tremendous sniff and stood back up, wiping my tears away. And then, quite suddenly, I became aware of someone watching me. I squinted in the darkness and realized it was Professor Snape.
A wave of panic swept over me. How long had he been standing there? He made no effort to move or to speak, even with me staring at him. When my stare turned into a glower, however, he stepped forward and cleared his throat.
"Are you quite done, Miss Granger?" he asked.
"Why do you care?" I snapped.
I can assure you that at any other time I would have been my respectful, bootlicking self. But now however, my nerves were tapped and I was in no mood for his snide, sarcastic comments.
Snape narrowed his eyes and stepped forward again. When he spoke, his voice was in a deathly whisper.
"You should take care not to speak to me in such a tone, Miss Granger."
I resisted the temptation to roll my eyes. It was quite like Snape to make himself seem better than us mere students. My emotional distress obviously meant nothing to him. As a matter of fact, I wouldn't be surprised if he was annoyed by it.
"I'm sorry sir," I replied, forcing my voice to be as sarcastically polite as it could. "I didn't realize you cared so much about me. But yes, I am done crying, if you're so curious to know."
My words made Snape absolutely livid. I was about to add something on top of that when I heard a voice speak behind Snape.
I recognized the voice, but Snape very obviously didn't. He whipped around quickly, his body visibly tense. But when he realized it was Dumbledore, he let himself relax, but only a little.
"Yes?" he said curtly. He sounded very unpleased that Dumbledore interrupted the confrontation.
"I apologize for this, but we need to have a discussion in my office immediately. I daresay you can continue after, if you wish."
It amazed me how old Dumbledore sounded. I was watching this scene when our eyes met. I thought I almost saw a twinkle there.
"Yes, yes, of course," Snape said shortly. "And no, this doesn't need to continue."
With that, he followed Dumbledore, and I watched them until they disappeared around the corner. They had left me alone, and I decided to go back to the common room and to try to get some sleep.
Well, that's the end of chapter one. Kindly inform me of your comments, suggestions, or anything else. I do like to know that my stories aren't complete fiascos. I am also looking for a BETA, if anyone is interested. Thank you.

Chapter 7 : seven

Background: Font color:
The following morning, Lorcan left early to check on his dragon. A report had come in from a village down river that the Vipertooth had been seen by muggles. Luis hadn't been too concerned, saying that it wasn't the first time and there were more than enough ancient cultural myths still in play to make people keep quiet about it.
"Apparently, if you talk about seeing a dragon, bad luck will come your way," Lorcan said, slinging his backpack onto his shoulder. Scorpius, Louis, Juan, Pedro and the twins were in the dining tent. It was an hour after dawn; Scorpius had never been a late sleeper but unless he'd had something to get up for, he was quite comfortable staying in bed reading a book. He found he liked dawn in the jungle – the smell, the sound and the sense of peace that floated over the camp. That morning, with Lily lying beside him snoring gently into her pillow, he felt completely at ease with life.
"Do you want me to come?" Lysander asked his brother, standing up also. Lorcan made an apologetic face.
"Actually, no. It will be easier if I go alone today. Why don't you stay here and...I don't know...umm."
"I should never have come," Lysander mumbled miserably. Scorpius cleared his throat.
"I have something for you to do," he said, and the blonde man smiled brightly. "Rose and I have to work on the curse today, but Lily...has nothing to do. Why don't you take her down to the river for a bit? She likes the water."
Lysander nodded seriously. "I wonder if she will let me sketch her."
"What?" Scorpius blinked.
"Lily," Lysander answered. "She would look lovely down by the river. Would she like a portrait of herself, do you think?"
Louis burst out laughing. "I should think so, but for your own sake, don't make her look fat or ugly or anything. She always said the left was her best side."
Frank appeared and flopped into a chair as Lorcan disapparated and Lysander rushed off to find his sketch pad and his drawing materials.
"Any coffee?" Frank pulled a hand through his already shaggy hair and closed his eyes briefly.
Louis' eyebrows lifted as he pushed a coffee across the table. "Trouble in paradise?"
"Paradise? I think you mean Hell," Frank replied, raising the mug to his lips. "But, no more. I am a free man. I have stepped out of the proverbial frying pan and put out the fire."
"Finally grown a set then, Frankie?" Louis grinned. "Took you long enough."
"Fuck you," Frank said, flicking his cigarette at the other man, who merely ducked and laughed. "She's no bloody picnic, your cousin. And the only person who is allowed to call me 'Frankie' is my mother."
Rose appeared a little while later, looking thoroughly pissed off. She stomped around, snapped at Pedro, apologised, and then smashed the tea pot against the edge of the table. Her face dared someone to challenge her over it. Juan took out his wand, fixed the pot and handed it back to her without a word. Something in her face softened at such a simple act, and she made her tea in silence, sitting at the table as far away from Frank as she could manage.
"Where's Lily?" Louis asked.
"Here." Lily breezed into the dining tent, Lysander following, muttering to himself. She was dressed all in white, her hair long and flowing over her shoulders. "It's so hot," she declared, sitting and waiting to be served. Rose pushed the tea pot at her absently, setting her cup down at the same time, pushing that away too. Lily reached for the sugar and gasped, shrinking back from the table. Scorpius saw Rose roll her eyes.
"Whose cup is this?" Lily asked in a whisper, pointing.
"Mine," Rose answered almost challengingly. "But you already knew that."
"Oh Rose," Lily said with a delicate shake of her head, reaching for the cup. "This is not good. See that shape there?" She indicated the cup; Rose did not bother moving to look. "It's a club, which means you will suffer from an attack of sorts. And this here is a skull, which means there is danger in your path."
Frank peered over Lily's shoulder. "Actually, I think that looks more like a sun, or an acorn. All good, Rosie, don't worry," he added, giving her a wink which she ignored. Scorpius watched them closely, not knowing why; there seemed a double meaning in Frank's statement, an apology of sorts and he wondered if Rose picked up on it.
Lily huffed. "I think I know better, thank you, Frank."
He laughed. "Whatever you say."
"Are you the Divination professor at Hogwarts? No, you're not, so don't laugh at this. It's serious."
Frank shrugged. "I'm not laughing, and I did take Divination at NEWT level you know. Got myself an O, if I recall correctly: what did you get?"
Lily scowled.
"Some of us have work to do; Malfoy, hurry up," Rose commanded, standing up and walking away without a backwards glance. Juan and Pedro followed her, glancing back at Lily and shaking their heads. They didn't care much for Lily's brand of divination, preferring their own age-old ways.
"Well," Lily sniffed. "I was only being honest. The leaves do not lie."
"No, but you do. Smile, precious." Frank pulled out his camera and snapped a picture of Lily's cranky face, which transformed into a dark thunderstorm that Scorpius had never witnessed before. "Page one, I think, or perhaps you're more suited to page three?"
"Go crawl under a rock, Frank!"
"Gladly, if you'll tell me which one you just vacated."
Scorpius stared, too shocked to do anything.
"Screw you," Lily seethed. "Just because you're Rose's little play thing and almost family it doesn't give you the right to speak to me like that."
Frank laughed. "Right, I forgot, no one puts Lily Potter in her place."
"One day Rose will get sick of you and then I won't have to put up with you anymore," Lily snapped. She looked at Scorpius, a smirk spreading across her face. "He's shagging Rose."
"I know," Scorpius said blankly.
Lily blinked and Frank's laugh was dark. "Sorry, sweetheart, not quick enough but then again, you've never been too bright, have you?" His voice had lost its teasing tone and a hard look had come into his eyes. Scorpius laid his hand on Lily's arm, totally confused but certain he had to do something.
"Come on, Lily," he said. She glared at Frank once more, shook herself free of Scorpius' fingers and stormed away, hair swinging. Scorpius swallowed. "What was that?"
Frank sighed, stretching his arms above his head leisurely. "That," he announced, standing up, "was one of the many faces of your girlfriend, mate. She's mental, truly she is."
Before Scorpius could respond, Frank had wandered away.
Working with Rose that day was as tense as it had been when he first arrived. She would barely speak to him, except to bark orders and ask short, sharp questions and when it was time to finish up for the day, he was glad to be away from her. She wasn't at dinner, neither was Frank or Louis. Lorcan was still out with the dragon, and Lysander was tucked up in his tent putting the final touches on his sketch of Lily.
Scorpius and Lily ate dinner in their tent, and afterwards, when she clearing up and he was settled snugly against the pillows, stretched out on the bed, he brought up a subject that had been gnawing at his brain for the last twenty four hours.
"I didn't know Rose had a child."
Lily glanced at him, her expression unreadable as she flicked her wand and the cutlery and plates stacked themselves neatly at the end of the table. "It's the family's dirty little secret; well, that and the fact that Dom is Vincent Ingleback's mistress."
"The Quidditch player?"
"Yep," Lily murmured. "Anyway, why do you care about Rose's kid?"
"Just curious."
"Poor boy. He's better off where he is, with Teddy and Vic, especially when he's got a workaholic head-case and a mental patient for parents," Lily sighed. "I never knew what she saw in Frank Longbottom and then she went and got herself pregnant. Now she's stuck with him forever, in a way."
Scorpius swallowed his shock. "Frank's the father?"
Lily's lips curled. "They were nineteen when William was born and Rose handed him over to Victoire pretty quickly. I could never do such a thing," she added with a haughty sniff. "Her parents were so sad, Scorpius. It is tragic really. Children don't ask to be born – Rose and Frank were irresponsible. If they didn't want a baby, they shouldn't have had one."
"I'm sure Rose had her reasons for letting Victoire raise her son," Scorpius said softly, climbing to his feet. He wanted to pace the small space, like he often did when he was thinking but he forced his feet to remain still. "She's not callous or mean. A little hot-headed maybe...and anyway, she lives in a tent. That's not the life for a child."
Lily sniffed again; she had been clearly expecting to find an anti-Rose ally and wasn't getting one. "She didn't try hard enough. Anyway, enough about Rose: when are you coming home?"
"I don't know."
She came and took his hands, looking up into his eyes. It was a look he had seen many times before and only now did he realise how completely manipulative it was and how completely she had been manipulating him. Shock rushed over him, cold as ice and he swallowed, forcing a deep breath into his lungs.
"Please, I miss you," Lily purred.
"I have a job to do," Scorpius answered firmly, but his voice was watery and weak.
"Rose will just have to find someone else," she insisted.
Scorpius pulled his hands free and folded his arms, ignoring Lily's gasp. "You don't have any respect for what I do, do you, Lily? You don't care that this is where I want to be at the moment. You only care about yourself." He paused, shaking his head. "I never realised you were so selfish."
"Scorpius! How can you think that? I came all the way across the world to see you!"
"No, you came all the way across the world for your own reasons. It has nothing to do with me," he said.
She pursed her lips; she looked more like Rose than she would ever admit, especially when she was sulking. "I'm sorry that you think that, really I am. What can I do to make you believe that I do care?"
"I don't think there is anything you can do at the moment, Lily."
She dropped her gaze, looking back up at him swiftly from beneath her lashes. She stuck her bottom lip out and then pulled it between her teeth, nibbling on it gently. "Really?"
He sighed. "Lily, listen..."
Slowly and deliberately, she undid the buttons on her crisp white shirt, never taking her eyes from his face. Despite himself, Scorpius felt his temperature increase and his heart speed up. Lily was, regardless of her flaws, beautiful. The shirt fell to the floor and he watched, stomach in his throat, as the rest of her clothing followed it. Naked, she took his hands again.
"Scorpius, I miss you."
He closed his eyes as her lips fell on his neck, moving to his chest and back up again. He shook his head, bit his lip, and stepped away, not knowing how or where he found the strength to resist her, only that he had. She stared at him in shock and anger and without another word, she scooped up her clothes and fled into the little bathroom.
Sighing, Scorpius took out his wand, transfiguring his desk chair into a lounge so he could sleep. Lily returned from the bathroom as he was spreading a blanket across his make-shift bed. She glared at him, before crawling into his bed and turning her back. She sniffed dramatically and no one said another word. He stayed awake half the night, listening to Lily sleep, his brain sorting ruthlessly through the jumble of words and images in his head. He has always known Lily has a selfish side, but he had never thought she was mean, and she had been nothing but to Rose since she had arrived. She looked down on Frank, tolerated the twins because they fawned over her and even had Louis eating out of her hand.
Scorpius glanced at the lump Lily made under the thin blanket. He had never been able to understand why she had picked him, out of all the men at her disposal, to be her lover. Sighing, he rolled over again, looking up at the canvas roof of his tent. He liked it here, in Peru, in the jungle, even though it was hot and sticky and wet and there were too many insects, he was proud of what he had been able to accomplish. Lily made a little noise is her sleep and Scorpius bit his lip, conflicted. He had been mean, cruel even, and that wasn't like him.
"Lily," he murmured, knowing instinctively she was awake.
"What?" came the eventual petulant reply.
"I'm sorry, okay?"
She sniffed, hesitated and then lifted the blanket. He crawled off his make-shift bed and nestled in beside her, letting her rest her cheek on his chest and she was still there at dawn, curled around him. He slid out from under her arm, looking down at her, feeling himself, against his better judgement, soften.
She looked so small and delicate; perhaps this new behaviour of hers was simply because she was feeling uncomfortable so far from home and in such strange surroundings. He knew he had been when he first arrived.
Rose was still moderately frosty towards him – towards everyone in general – but he was pleased to discover she had thawed out a little. She didn't snap, she didn't swear at him and she was pleasant enough to work with.
Lunch time found them both kneeling in the dirt in the cavern with a mountain of texts and spellbooks, wands out.
"Should we try it?" Scorpius asked.
"Why are you asking me? Aren't you the expert?" she snorted.
He shrugged. "You're the curse-breaker, aren't you?"
"Shut up," she growled good-naturedly. She took a deep breath, swallowed and held her wand out towards the entombed artefacts. "I'll try the mask."
Scorpius nodded. The gold mask was the largest of all the treasures. It was an ornate thing; his mother would call it 'gaudy' but he thought it was beautiful for the past that it spoke of. The more time he spent in the dark with Rose and the artefacts and the more time he spent on the dig site simply listening and absorbing the more he could see how history and the lure of what once was could have a hold over someone. Like his passion for books and knowledge, Rose, Louis and the others were enamoured with what they did.
She let out a breath. "Here goes." Slowly, with measured, precise movements, Rose wielded her wand like a conductor might wield a baton but instead of hearing music, they heard a low rumble and the walls of the cavern shook. "Shit," she hissed, dropping her wand and wiping the sweat from her forehead. They exchanged a worried glance.
"Alright," Scorpius murmured eventually, opening Ye Olde Forgotten Bewitchments and Charmes. He skimmed the contents page out of habit, already knowing what was contained within the books pages, and opened to chapter seven, Magic of the Ancients. He read in silence, his eyes watering from the dull light.
"What does it say?" Rose pressed. He looked at her out of the corner of his eyes, noting the way her hair hung in snake-like tendrils around her face, and the way her eyes caught the lantern light and how the side of her cheek was golden. There was such strength to her expression, such determination and he saw in her eyes a thirst for knowledge that matched his own. He sucked in a breath, stunned for reasons he couldn't fathom. "Malfoy?"
"Sorry," he muttered, aghast to realise he had been staring at her. "Umm...maybe try one of the smaller artefacts."
Rose nodded and turned to a small golden dagger. She closed her eyes briefly, took a deep breath and Scorpius watched as she lifted her wand and waved it through the air. There was a hissing sound and they both looked to the dagger; green light blazed around it, forming a bubble and then, after a moment, the bubble burst with an audible snap and the light faded.
Scorpius' grin was echoed on Rose's face and he laughed. She winked, swirled her wand through the air again and the dagger floated from its place in the wall, hovering in the air before her hand.
"Can you check it, please?" she asked, eyes shining. He nodded, lifted his wand and performed a simple curse revealing spell. The dagger was clean and Rose closed her hand around it happily. "We did it," she whispered, turning the dagger over in her palm. "Look at this, Scorpius! We're the first people to handle this piece in thousands of years."
Slowly, with a type of reverence he understood, she passed it to him. It was heavy for such a small thing and he let it rest on his outstretched fingers for a moment before he passed it back for her to wrap in protective cloth and seal.
"Let's go show Luis," she suggested, climbing to her feet and dusting off her knees with her spare hand. He followed her out of the cavern, down the earthen tunnel and into the light, unable to keep from grinning.
Luis was in his tent and the old man's eye lit up when Rose handed him the dagger. "You did it," he whispered, touching her hand. "Well done, Rosa. I knew you would work it out."
"We can't break the curse around the mask yet," Rose said with a small frown. "And we haven't tried any of the other artefacts, but I think we're nearly there, aren't we, Scorpius?"
He nodded. "There are a few more spells I want to try tomorrow and hopefully, we will have the cavern curse free in a couple of days."
That night, Scorpius drank more alcohol than he had since he was eighteen and on holiday with his cousins. His eyes kept finding Rose across the dining tent and he watched her, marvelling at the change in her. Their victory that day had completely washed away the bad mood she had been carrying since breaking up with Frank. She was smiling and laughing and not even Lily's presence seemed to bother her.
Lily tried to talk to him about the portrait Lysander had done and how she wanted to frame it and give it to him but he was barely listening and by the time she stomped away in a huff, he was ridiculously drunk.
The party wound up slowly, with the Scamander's stumbling off to find their beds first, followed by Juan and Pedro, supporting Luis between them. Louis was passed out with his head on the table and Frank was almost asleep in his chair, a lit cigarette burning dangerously close to his fingertips.
Scorpius jumped as Rose sat down beside him. "You should go to bed," she said quietly after a moment. "We've got heaps to do tomorrow."
"Are you saying I can't handle my alcohol?" he managed to slur and she laughed, climbing to her feet and rummaging in the cupboard under the sink. She returned with a potion vial between her hands, which she placed on the table in front of him.
"Drink this, and get some sleep."
He snorted. "Pepper-Up Potion?"
She rolled her eyes. "I don't want you unable to concentrate tomorrow, Malfoy."
"What about you?"
"Just drink the potion, Scorpius," she said firmly and he obeyed with a sigh, fumbling with the vial's stopper until she snatched it from him and uncapped it, watching as he drank. Within moments, his head was clear and his senses returned and she nodded.
"Do you need a hand here?" Scorpius asked, indicating Louis and Frank.
Rose shook her head. "They can stay here for all I care," she muttered and then sighed. "I'll manage. Good night."
"Good night, Rose," he said softly, turning towards the darkness and his tent. He heard Rose shake Louis awake, and then Frank. Louis growled something, swore when Rose pushed a potion on him and Scorpius heard him grumbling as he stalked away.
By the time he reached his tent, the camp was still and silent. Scorpius turned and glanced back at the dining tent to where Rose and Frank were sitting. He watched them talking: she dropped her eyes and put her head in her hands as Frank stood up and pulled at his hair before he made to turn away.
Rose reached for Frank's hand. He hesitated and Scorpius saw her lips move; they were too far away for him to hear what she said, but the look on her face said it all. Frank sighed and closed his eyes, before he swooped down and pulled her to her feet, spinning her around and lifting her so she was sitting on the edge of the table. They shared a few words and then he cupped her face and kissed her.
Scorpius turned away, going inside his tent to find Lily curled up on the bed asleep. He slipped out of his clothes and was about to crawl in beside her when he heard Louis' voice race through the night.
"Oi! I've got to eat on that table you two!"
"Just because it's been a thousand years since you've gotten shagged, Weasley," Frank drawled.
"Ugh. Normally I'm okay with you molesting my cousin, Longbottom, but if you don't take it somewhere else I will curse you."
Scorpius heard the air snap and moments later, he could hear Rose's laughter coming from Frank's tent. He took out his wand and cast a charm around his tent – the last thing he needed was to listen to them making up. When he lay down, Lily stirred, rolling and wrapping her leg across his middle. He froze. It felt like there was a thousand miles between them, but something about the moment felt natural, calm, and he had never felt that before, not with Lily or with any other woman.
He rolled, wrapping his arms around her. She opened her eyes and smiled sleepily, letting him kiss her and pull her close and afterwards, he feigned sleep, and when he heard her breathing deepen and felt her body grow heavy against his, he slipped out from under her arm. Barefoot and naked, Scorpius padded to the entrance of his tent. He took down his charm and listened, waiting, but he wasn't sure what for.
The night was silent. It mocked him, that silence, warring with the freight train of emotion that flooded his head as he realised just why he felt so calm, so comfortable and so at peace. He snuck a glance over his shoulder – she was still sleeping, her hair spread like fire over his pillow.
Never before had he made love to Lily and wished she were someone else.

Wherever Uber goes, controversy seems to follow.
On Sunday in Sydney, Australia, a hostage crisis caused extreme panic in the city's Central Business District, and ultimately, it left two hostages and one gunman dead 1. The city is still reeling from the incident, which reached a climax on Monday, after a police raid, and there, on the edge of this horrific situation, sits Uber, the ride-hailing startup that has so galvanized opinions in recent months, not only in Silicon Valley but across the globe.
As the crisis unfolded on Sunday and so many people were trying to flee Sydney's Business District, some noticed that Uber had imposed surge pricing in the city, charging passengers a minimum of $100 for a ride, four times the normal fare. Uber has always imposed surge pricing when demand for rides is highest, and it's not always popular, but in an emergency situation such as this one, the sky-high prices looked like yet another incredibly callous move by a company that's beginning to gain a reputation for putting profits before people. The public outcry was fierce.
Uber's surge pricing is an automated thing, and the company quickly addressed the situation as complaints began circulating online late Sunday night, offering refunds to anyone who already paid for a ride and released a statement on Uber's blog announcing that all rides out of Sydney's Central Business District would be free until the hostage situation was resolved. "Our thoughts are with those affected and the Police Force," it reads. But while this particular incident is easy to explain away, it represents a much deeper issue for Uber.
The fact is, even though Uber didn't intentionally do anything sinister, the company's public image has grown so tainted in recent weeks and months, that the public actually believes it's capable of doing something like this. And that's an issue that's much tougher to fix.
Over the last few weeks, Uber has been accused of plotting against journalists, it's been banned in Spain and Thailand, sued by San Francisco, Los Angeles, and Portland, and was forced to shut down operations in Delhi after a passenger was allegedly raped by her Uber driver. All of this has given rise to a growing mistrust of Uber, a company that seems to grow richer by the day, despite having so many still unresolved problems.
When Uber was a smaller company, its battles with regulators and trouble with drivers were more likely to fly under the radar. But Uber is now six times larger than it was even 12 months ago, and as Uber CEO Travis Kalanick noted in a recent blog post, "This kind of growth has also come with significant growing pains." One of those growing pains is the fact that now, every slip up, every public controversy, contributes to a much larger narrative about the kind of company Uber is. Lately that narrative has skewed decidedly negative. Uber is still young enough to redirect that story. But first, its leaders will have to reconsider their strategy of growth at all costs—before it costs them dearly.
1UPDATE 8:34 PM EST 12/15/2014: This story has been updated to reflect the latest toll from the hostage situation.Go Back to Top. Skip To: Start of Article.

Kanye West is "refusing" to spend Christmas with Kim Kardashian West's family.
The 'Bound 2' rapper is growing increasingly frustrated living in his mother-in-law Kris Jenner's house with his wife and their 17-month-old daughter North but his 'Keeping Up with the Kardashians' star spouse is happy with how things are.
A source said: "Kim and Kanye are by no means on the rocks but his tolerance for her family is wearing thin.
"As their first Christmas as a married couple approaches, he's disappointed that they're no closer to being in their own home and isn't delighted at the prospect of spending more time at the centre of the Kardashian circus.
"At the moment, he's refusing to spend Christmas with her family, which she won't budge on. With Kim refusing to address the problem, something's got to give."
Kanye is said to be desperate to relocate his family to Paris.
The source said: "Kanye is desperate to put some distance between themselves and Kris by relocating to Paris.
"But as far as Kim's concerned, family come first. Initially she was receptive to his idea of a Parisian base, but as time has gone on Kanye's come to realise she's in no hurry to move, which he finds incredibly frustrating."

The Dishoom team is in Ahmedabad today…
Varun Dhawan, Jacqueline Fernandez and John Abraham's Dishoom releases on Friday, July 29. The film is one of the most exciting action-packed films that we will see this year. The actors have been promoting their film at various TV shows and across India. The actors have travelled to Indore, Delhi and now Ahmedabad to meet their fans and tell them about their film. Every time they step out, you should see how crazy the fans go. But even after such tiring days, hopping from one city to another, they were really enthusiastic to meet their fan in Ahmedabad.
We saw the actors in Ahmedabad today and while they were travelling in the city internally, the actors tried to learn Gujarati. Yes Jacqueline, Varun and John were speaking in Gujarati and the difficulty they faced while getting the right accent and the correct words was hilarious. In fact, after they got the correct words, they kept repeating it. They even spoke to their driver and their crew in Gujarati. We have to say it is hilarious!
Directed by Rohit Dhawan, the film is about two buddy cops who unite to find an premier Indian cricketer who has been kidnapped a few hours before the most crucial match for his nation. How they race against the clock to find him, makes up the rest of the story. Parineeti Chopra and Nargis Fakhri will also be seen in small cameos and a song, while Akshay Kumar will also be playing a small cameo. Aren't you excited for this film?
Till then check out the cast's Gujarat diaries in the video right here and tell us what you think about their Gujarati in the comments section below!

Downtown Arena Experience Now Open
You can now get a sneak peek at Sacramento's new downtown arena.
The Kings are taking appointments for an Experience Center on J Street that features a full mock up of a suite and an area for virtual tours of the center's concourse and plaza.
Two kiosks provide the 3-D renderings, and fans who have downloaded the Kings app will be greeted with special messages inside -- much like they would be in the real building.
The team has also launched a new website and social media initiative to keep the public up to date on the latest arena developments.
SacramentoESC.com hosts a count-down clock, news releases and a space for live video of upcoming demolition.
Fans can also follow the arena on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram. The project's hashtag is #PowerForward.
And while the pro-arena folks are making preparations, there's another group who is still working to stop the project.
Two attorneys who announced plans last night for a new referendum against the arena project say they're discussing the best ways to launch a signature drive.
Attorneys Patrick Soluri and Jefferey Anderson -- who previously alleged backdoor dealings between the City and the Kings -- say they'll need about 13,000 signatures to push a vote, and likely have 60 days to get them.
The pair told the city council they had plans for a political action committee. It's unclear where the financial backing would come from.
An environmental lawsuit has also been filed against the city and the Kings.
A group of residents call the new arena design "hideous" and say it looks like a "crushed up aluminum can."
They also cite large traffic impacts and say plans have not taken into account the possibility of "riots or bonfires" after championship games.

"So, don't forget to join us to help celebrate Copland, Shostakovich and Bach!"
Radio 3 announcement
The scene is the offices of Copland, Shostakovich and Bach, a firm of lawyers. Aaron Copland is American-Jewish and lively; Dmitri Shostakovich is Russian and gloomy; Johann "JS" Bach is elderly, German and going deaf. None of them particularly likes being a lawyer, but it's a living. They are playing pinochle, a card game unknown outside the USA and perhaps played only by characters in American fiction...
Aaron: Pfui, Dmitri! You've taken my last $5! What kind of a friend are you?
Dmitri: A very bad friend. But a good lawyer. That's why I took your last $5.
Aaron: Well, OK, let's play another hand and I'll see if I can win it back. You on for another hand, JS?
Bach: What's that you say?
Dmitri: You know he can't hear you. Just deal him a hand.
Bach: I can hear you all right!
Dmitri: Oh, yes, you can hear when it suits you, can't you, you old bat?
Bach: What was that?
At that moment, to everyone's surprise, there is a knock at the door. It opens, and a young man comes in.
Man: Excuse me, I'm looking for a lawyer...
Aaron: It's your lucky day. You've found three. Take your pick.
Man: Well...
Aaron: Perhaps I should explain. We all specialise. I take on hopeless cases. Dmitri here takes on the hopeless cases I have given up on. And JS here does divorce.
Man: Divorce?
Aaron: You want a divorce? He's great on divorce, ain't you, JS?
Man: No, I...
Aaron: I mean, JS even handled my own divorce. He was fast. So fast, I never had time to tell him I didn't want a divorce. Bam! One moment, happily married; the next moment, happily divorced. He's good. Ain't you, JS?
Bach: What's that?
Aaron: Never mind.
Man: Well, I'm married, but I don't want a divorce...
Aaron: Maybe you want your wife followed, just to make sure? Old JS is great at following people's wives. He'll follow anyone's wife. He gets into a lot of trouble following people's wives, don't you, JS?
Bach: Does someone want a divorce?
Dmitri: Look, why don't you just tell us what your trouble is, Mr...
Man: Sullivan. Art Sullivan is my name. Well, the thing is that I have been writing some music, and people keep telling me they like it, but that it reminds them of Mendelssohn.
Dmitri: Did you say Mendelssohn? I knew a guy called Mendelssohn once. Ran a hardware store. Did a very good line in cut-price kerosene...
Aaron: I knew a guy called Kerosene once. "Cut Price" Kerosene, that was his name. Unusual monicker, I always thought.
Dmitri: I knew a gal called Monicker once. "Unusual" Monicker, that was her name. She was called "Unusual" because...
Aaron: Another time, Dmitri. We have a young customer here. Maybe he isn't ready for stories like that.
Man: Look, what I want to know is, if it really does sound like Mendelssohn, can I be sued? What are the laws regarding plagiarism?
Aaron: Only one law regarding plagiarism, eh, Dmitri?
Dmitri: That's right. Admit it up front.
Man: Admit it?
Dmitri: Sure. Call it a homage. Call it a pastiche. Call it anything you like, but admit it, as Tchaikovsky did when he plagiarised Mozart and called it Mozartiana, or like when Stravinsky plagiarised Pergolesi...
Aaron: Or when Grieg imitated Holberg and called it the Holberg Suite...
Dmitri: Aaron, Aaron! Holberg wasn't a composer. He was a writer.
Aaron: You're not kidding? Now, that's clever. How does a composer like Grieg plagiarise a writer?
Dmitri: He didn't. He was paid up front to write a piece of music to celebrate Holberg's death.
Aaron: To celebrate Holberg's death? Why did they celebrate Holberg's death? Did nobody like him?
Dmitri: He'd been dead 100 years.
Aaron: Dead 100 years, and still they hated him! Boy, they sure bear grudges in Norway.
Sullivan: Look, about my case... Dmitri: Come in and sit down, young man.
Aaron: D'you play pinochle?
Sullivan: Yes, I...
Aaron: Good. You can take Bach's hand. He's gone to sleep again.
Coming soon: more wacky goings-on at the offices of Copland, Shostakovich, Sullivan and Bach!Reuse content

Alone Again
Disclaimer: Not mine.
Warning: Unbeta, Chase angst, OOC in case.
Summary: Chase reflects at the dark and his cold room.
1. Thanksgiving
Taking another gulp from the bottle, Robert stared at the wall in front of him, not knowing why Gregory sent him home to rest in the first place. He wanted to work, he needs to work, to ease the lonliness that he faced each year.
He stared at the empty table, and started to think of his mother, of how he taking care of her alone, without his famous dad around, and murmured, "To him I should say 'Thank you'? He wasn't there to help me with her, and he wasn't there where she died, I was alone, and nobody cares, even to him."
Took another long swallow from the bottle, and then with anger wave that filled his body he threw it to smash against the hard cold wall.
Dr. Chase spent another holiday with no one who cares about him, and loves him, nor he knows to what should he be thankful.
Even Dr. House didn't care shit about him, as he took him because Dr. Rowan Chase called him.
He laughs as he remembered a riddle 'Home is where the heart is'. How could it be true for him, he had no one waiting for him, loving him.
Alone again in the dark cold room, felt like his heart.

Into the range-topping Cloverleaf goes the 150bhp two-litre twin-spark straight four which, along with fab styling, forms the foundation of the current Alfa renaissance. On to that is bolted a new five-speed gearbox, while the suspension is lowered by 10mm all round, fattet rubber is fitted and the steering improved.
Around town, sufficient low-rev urge and a blacklash-free driveline make the Cloverleaf a doddle to drive, while out on the windy bits the engine reaches eagerly for 6500rpm with a pleasing mechanical fizz. Responsive and refined, it is swift and handles even better than its booted sister, the 146ti. A cracking motor car.

Physicist Max Tegmark argues that if there are infinite universes or sub-universes, we will encounter our exact duplicates infinite times, the nearest within \( 10^{{10^{115} }} \) m. Tegmark assumes Humean supervenience and a finite number of possible combinations of elementary quantum states. This paper argues on the contrary that Tegmark's argument fails to hold if possible thoughts, persons, and life histories are all infinite in number. Are there infinite thoughts we could possibly think? This paper will show that there are. If so, then it is not only Tegmark's specific claim about our duplication that is called into question. We additionally acquire another strong argument against Humean supervenience.

Make no mistake, you didn't buy your Element unless you wanted to buy Japanese engineering and dependability both rolled up into one car, truck, or SUV. Auto enthusiasts appreciate the a variety of features and options built into each Honda, and know that only top quality replacement Element parts will suffice when repairs are needed. Anyone who operates a Honda knows that when it comes to maintaining their vehicle only the absolute best replacement parts will do. While it may not be difficult to locate replacement parts for Honda vehicles, these days only the absolute best are required to repair your car or truck.
The first applications of the use of hydraulic pressure were in mining and supplying water across great distances. Your Honda Element has a brake system that uses hydraulic pressure generated inside the brake master cylinder. This part compresses fluid inside the cylinder and sends it to your calipers and/or wheel cylinders. The calipers and wheel cylinders are a form of slave cylinder; using the hydraulic pressure from the Honda Element brake master cylinder to pinch your brake pads against the rotor or the brake shoes against the drum so your vehicle can slow down if needed.
At Car Parts Discount, we have live customer service members here with enough expertise to help you select the appropriate Honda Element part for your needs. Don't let a broken Brake Master Cylinder spell the end of your car, truck, or SUV, and don't gamble with its condition by buying anything but the highest quality replacement parts. Make all your future car parts purchases at carpartsdiscount.com and save time and money on all your upcoming repairs. Just choose your year from the list below to find the right Honda Element Brake Master Cylinder for your 2011, 2010, 2009, 2008, 2007, 2006, 2005, 2004, 2003 model.

the following is from nola.com:
"Terminator: Genesis," the forthcoming fifth film in the popular sci-fi action franchise, is headed for New Orleans. Pre-production was expected to get underway in New Orleans this week, with principal photography set to run from April 21 to Aug. 1.
Directed by "Thor: The Dark World" filmmaker Alan Taylor, the project will see Arnold Schwarzenegger return to the role that helped him become a household name. In addition, Jason Clarke ("Zero Dark Thirty") and Emilia Clarke ("Game of Thrones") will reportedly co-star.
The local "Terminator" shoot had been rumored for some time among local film-industry workers. In the past week, however, it was confirmed when it cropped up on separate lists of upcoming local productions maintained by the city's film office and the state's film office.
It is one of a number of major franchises set to shoot in Louisiana in coming months. The superhero reboot "The Fantastic Four" will begin shooting March 24 in Baton Rouge, and "Jurassic World" is expected to shoot in Louisiana -- likely New Orleans -- starting in early June.
The "Terminator" franchise started in 1984 with the now-iconic film directed by James Cameron. It went on to spawn two direct sequels as well as a television series. In 2009, the fourth film in the franchise, "Terminator: Salvation," landed in theaters, intended as a reboot, but legal troubles halted further development temporarily. "Terminator: Genesis," which has been described as another attempt at a franchise reboot, is scheduled to land in theaters on July 1, 2015.
"I'm looking forward to sinking my teeth into Pound of Flesh because it's exactly the kind of character-driven action thriller I and my fans love best -- a movie that delivers nonstop hardcore action that's fueled by a really surprising story and real people you care about from the moment you meet them on screen"
Pound of Flesh is scheduled to begin shooting in China this March!
Skin Trade is now filming and here are two more photos from the film!
"I am the biggest Milius fan. I think what he did with that original movie, it's one of my very, very favorite movies. It's funny, a lot of people look at it and go, 'Eh, it's a big guy with a sword and cutting people down.' I look at that and I see a brilliant story about what it means to be a man, what it means to be a warrior. The Riddle of Steel, now I'm going to get too geeky, I think it's genius."
Conan the Barbarian was rated R, but Dino De Laurentiis produced a PG sequel Conan the Destroyer. Morgan could not confirm the rating The Legend of Conan is going for. "That's something that we're discussing right now, so we're kind of up in the air with it. Look, it's got to have that level of grittiness and violence and I think that we're definitely going to satiate the audience," Morgan said. (Special note from Trevor: This better be a fucking R)
He was appropriately dismissive when I brought up the counterexample of Conan the Destroyer.
"Which movie? Which movie is that again?" Morgan said. "By the way, the thing about that is I love all those movies and I'm the first guy who's in line for those. The last Conan, and I respect it, and I know where they went with it, Jason [Momoa]'s great. That guy is crazy talented. I'll say this though. We're drawing off the first Conan movie. Milius injected something into that that felt truthful. It felt epic and it felt real and tortured on some level for Conan's character and very deep. We're really focusing on that Conan that is in the minds of people. That journey and where would that character be now towards the end of his life."
"The model for us really is Unforgiven. It is and I think it's an important thing because something about that to me says grounded, real. This isn't going to be your run of the mill CG fest, throw millions of armies and that's just what it is. It's not. It is a character story and it's a good one. It's a really good one."

Alex returns.
Konrad calls us from the airport to some bus that he's on. He mentions Jesse is about to get pasted and I growl. Jesse. The hateful bastard! I refuse to go, initially, but Jet is going, so I kinda have to. Since I can't control this weird block he put on me to hem the beast in. And he can. Life sucks. I'm moody all the way back to the bus and when we get there, seeing Jesse and Gabby does nothing to improve my mood. First thing I notice about Jesse is all these silver lines over his arms, disappearing up beneath his shirt. I glare at him, but he doesn't notice. He's talking to a ghost.
I can see Gabby just inside the bus, bending over some unconscious girl. I groan and slap my forehead, but don't bother to stop her. Not like I can do anything about a stubborn teenaged idiot like her. I sulk and keep out of her sight. Jet however crashes straight onto the bus, making a scene, like he does and I discover a new level of hate for the demon when he points me out to Gabby.
'Alex?' Konrad says.
'What?' I snap.
'Glaring at the bus is hardly going to help the situation. Get over it.' he says. 'Help me with this werewolf.' I turn to him and ignore the meddling demon's actions.

I have launched a quiz and the editor has not approved it
The time it takes an editor to review and launch your quiz can vary considerably. Occasionally, your editor will confer with other editors to be sure that your quiz is in full compliance of the Sploofus Quiz Authoring Guide (SQAG). Additionally, depending on the size of the queue of waiting quizzes, waiting time may increase. Another scenario is that you may notice that there are only a handful of quizzes ahead of yours in the queue, yet your quiz is taking longer than normal to be released. Many quizzes are placed on hold due to our dedicated editing system which consists of plagiarism checking, SQAG confirmation, and other tests.
The rule of thumb for quiz authors and editors alike is that there is no guarantee on how long it may take for your quiz to be reviewed and processed by an editor. Sometimes it may take less than an hour, other times it may take as long as a full week.

GBP/CAD: next buy target
Dima Chernovolov
- GBP/CAD reached buy target 1.9250
- Next buy target - 1.9370
GBP/CAD recently reversed down from the resistance level 1.9250, which was set as the buy target in our previous report for this currency pair. The subsequent minor downward correction (ii) yesterday reversed up from the support zone lying between the round support level 1.9000, the 38.2% Fibonacci Correction of the preceding upward price impulse from January and the support trendline of the daily up channel from the start of this year. The upward reversal form this support zone led to the formation of the strong daily Japanese candlestick reversal pattern – Bullish Engulfing.
GBP/CAD is currently trading close to the resistance level 1.9250. If the price breaks this resistance level, GBP/CAD can be expected to rise further to the next buy target at 1.9370 (top of previous impulse (i)).

DetailsPolini's For Race series offers a powerful cylinder built by Gilardoni, as a successor to the Polini ALU. The advantage of aluminium as opposed to grey cast iron is the improved heat dissipation. The chrome-hardened Nikasil liner makes for long service life of piston and cylinder. The former exhaust port design has been substituted by a bigger exhaust port with auxiliary ports at the sides, which among other things gives you more room for subsequent modifications. Best to be used with at least a 17.5mm carburettor and sport exhaust.

O Say Can You Sing: Bucks audition anthem performers
Jahbarri Bradshaw didn't look nervous. He looked well dressed.
He wore a blue suit, pressed white shirt, red tie and pocket square and shiny red shoes, to sing "The Star-Spangled Banner" in hopes of doing the same before a Milwaukee Bucks game this season. Tucked in the pocket of his suit pants was a tiny toy-sized Ironman drone.
It wasn't a good-luck charm, exactly. The little man with a big voice is 10 years old.
Men, women and children auditioned "American Idol" style Saturday at the BMO Harris Bradley Center. The first-ever national anthem auditions are the brainchild of John Watson, the Bucks' director of game entertainment. At the end of the afternoon, he said 171 people had gone through the audition process, which lasted from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m.
Watson, his assistant, Kris Burnelli, and Bucks' Energee dance team manager Tricia Crawford played the judges' roles, but there was no mention of anyone being "pitchy." In fact, they didn't comment on any of the singers. The trio sat quietly while each of the hopefuls took their places on a makeshift stage in front of folding chairs.
The winners will be announced early next week, Watson said. However, based on Saturday's auditions the judges picked Meri Katherine Bock of Racine to sing at Saturday's preseason game against the Detroit Pistons. Watson said probably five to 10 individuals or groups from the auditions will sing at games during the season.
Those who auditioned ranged from beginners to professional singers hoping to get noticed. Jahbarri sings in church and for school talent shows, where his mom says he is known as "the gospel prince." Everyone sang a cappella, including Steven Kryscio of Menomonee Falls. Kryscio first performed the anthem on the saxophone he carried - before singing solo.
Kateri Bluford, 18, Anwar Stewart, 19, and Jamika Deshayzer, 17, started singing harmonies in church two years ago. The trio won a round of riotous applause when they finished a version of the anthem tinged with both twang and gospel. They said they were surprised by the reaction but happy. Stewart really wants to sing for the "home team."
Some of the hopefuls forgot the words or lost their place in the song. Audience members - typically people who were there to audition or their supporters - offered encouragement or quietly said the forgotten words.
Nailing it wasn't an issue for the Latimore Brothers group, which included Willie Hampton and Nathan, Jason, Jacob and Anthony Latimore. They have sung before the Bucks' games before and it showed. Many in the audience stood to applaud afterward.
Two said singing the national anthem before a Bucks game was on their bucket list.
Neal Letteney drove in from Oconomowoc to audition. The former professional opera singer turned pastor in Greendale used to sing with a band called Bluegrass and has opened for Randy Travis. Carol Cline, a health center manager from Waukesha, has sung for one of the President George Bushes - she didn't say which one - and sang the national anthem before a Brewers game.
Each anthem hopeful had a different arrangement and a different reason for doing so.
Kaycee Lang, 11, sang for her sister, Kiah, 9, who has alopecia. Kaycee, who lives in Milwaukee, started singing in talent shows at conferences about alopecia. She wants her singing to raise awareness about the disease, which causes hair loss.
If he doesn't make it for the Bucks, Corky Morgan at the least earned a new fan. A competitor stopped Morgan to say, "My man, you have got a smooth tenor voice."
