Professor Reactions
After the concert, the professors gathered near the staff table, still slightly stunned.
McGonagall
"…I must admit, that was… spectacular."Her lips twitched."If teaching doesn't work out for Mr. Roy, the music world seems eager."
Flitwick
"Marvelous! Outstanding! The magical synchronization of lights with the rhythm—oh, beautifully controlled magic!"
Sprout
"Oh, the children were so happy! I haven't seen Hufflepuffs dance like that since the last Quidditch victory!"
Hagrid
"That was brilliant! Gave me goosebumps the size of Blast-Ended Skrewts!"
Snape
Snape merely said:
"…He is going to cause a school-wide mania."
But then, under his breath:
"That was… competent."
The other professors stared—Snape had just given his highest possible praise.
Rita Skeeter's Special Article (Next-Day Prophet)
The next morning, the Prophet screamed with a magically flashing headline:
**"SECRET CONCERT IN HOGWARTS!
HEADMASTER ROY—THE WIZARDING WORLD'S NEW YOUTH IDOL?"**
Rita wrote with dramatic flair:
"Sources confirm that an exclusive, invitation-only concert shook Hogwarts yesterday afternoon.Students describe the event as 'life-changing,' 'breathtaking,' and 'I screamed so loud I fainted.'
The Headmaster himself performed multiple songs, displaying unprecedented magical-musical synchronization.
Yaksha Music Club members have declared him their 'Eternal President.'
Parents now are demanding a public concert.
Is Hogwarts raising scholars—or idols?"
The entire wizarding community erupted.Parents owl'd the school.Witch Weekly begged for photos.The Quibbler titled its article:
"HEADMASTER SECRETLY SIREN?"
Roy's response?
A shrug.
The girls' response?
Murderous glares at anyone swooning over the paper.
Roy Teasing the Jealous Girls
After breakfast, the girls dragged Roy into a quiet corridor.
Daphne:"Roy. We need to talk."
Astoria:"You made the entire school obsessed with you."
Hermione:"You should have SEEN the Ravenclaws this morning. One of them had your face on her notebook."
Cho:"Hufflepuffs made a fan badge!"
Cassandra:"Four girls asked when the next concert is."
Ginny:"FIVE, actually."
Roy smirked.
"Are you… jealous?"
All six girls froze.
Daphne crossed her arms."…No."
Astoria: "Yes."Cho: "Maybe."Ginny: "Not the point!"Cassandra: "I'll hex someone."Hermione: "This is completely irrational—BUT YES."
Roy put a hand behind his head, smirking wider.
"Well, I can give all of you a private concert later."
The girls' brains short-circuited.
All of them:"WHAT?!"
Roy:"Calm down. Not that kind of private concert. I meant just us, music only."
They all looked away, blushing furiously.
Daphne muttered,"…Still. You're too popular."
Roy leaned in just a little.
"Don't worry. I only perform for my girls."
Five hearts stopped.One wand dropped.
The jealousy dissolved instantly—replaced by flustered smiles and pink cheeks.
