( Owl to Ron Weasley )

WHEN: March 1, late evening

STATUS: Open, in progress.



The House Elves have carefully crafted the Gryffindor-themed cake pictured above, as well as a whole table-full of other goodies. Seamus has pulled out most of his liquor stash - a bottle or two of Firewhiskey, some Cognac, a lot of Butterbeer - after making sure that anyone fifth year or under has gone up to bed. Hermione has distracted Ron with their supposed prefect rounds while the rest of the cubs set up and decorate the room - garland, party hats, perhaps Dean has painted a "Happy Birthday, Ron!" banner. Embyr may be setting up a drink mixing station with Seamus' supply. Someone is setting up a way to play music. Just before Hermione and Ron re-enter the Common Room, many of the Gryffs grab fistfuls of Parvati's carefully-made confetti and get ready to throw.

The portrait hole opens, and the party begins....

WHAT: The 6th & 7th Year Muggle Studies class performs Romeo & Juliet
WHO: Hogwarts students, anyone who came to the castle for a day. Unfortunately, castle wards do prohibit the families of Muggleborn students from attending.
WHEN: Sunday, 3:00PM
WHERE: Hogwarts, Great Hall

Professor Burbage thought it was a good idea to put on Shakespeare, and of course she chose the most cliched play for school-age students -- Romeo and Juliet. The Great Hall is transfigured into a stage and small auditorium. The costumes are a strange mismatch of Muggle and magical, but at least the time period is right. The show goes off fairly well, excepting a mishap with the fake blood during Mercutio's death scene and the fact that the balcony wobbled and creaked. Also, someone had stage fright and got sick just off stage (if it was you, own up to it!). Otherwise, everyone enjoyed it and probably laughed at the funny and the not-supposed-to-be-funny bits.

ETA: Apparently some Slytherins decided to convince Peeves to throw rotten vegetables at the stage, so the play was interrupted fora time just before Act III.
