WHEN: 8 o'clock to whenever, 16 December 1942
WHERE: Slughorn's office.

Welcome to Professor Slughorn's annual Christmas party! All of the Slug Club was invited, and got to bring a date if they so desired.

Rationing has made the party less extravagant than in years past, but nevertheless, Sluggy had managed to drag up a enormous caskets of mead and butterbeer for the party. There was victory cake, scones, finger sandwiches (cucumber, chicken and tarragon, egg), and some various other snacks. There were many several guests, including brand spanking new Kestrals Chaser Darren O'Hare, Head of the Department of Intermagical Cooperation Niles Derwent, and popular romance novelist Berenice Bloxam.

There was enough booze for everyone to get pleasantly drunk. When Barty and Minerva showed up, Slughorn laughed genially and asked them to stay. He looked at Algie and saw trouble, though, and had Pringle escort him back to Gryffindor. SIGH.

Each Slug Club member left with a small chocolate bar. Yes, it was probably illegally procured. But no one needs to know this.

HAVE FUUN.

( THE CASTING )

WHO: Everyone who wants to audition!
WHERE: Great Hall
WHAT: Auditions for the Christmas Nativity
WHEN: After dinner
STATUS/RATING: OOC/IC Log

( It came upon a midnight clear~ )

At lunch time, Professor Stonem announced that they will be holding a Christmas Nativity play, and that she will be running it instead of Professor Beery, although he'll be assisting (they exchange sweet smiles up on the head table).

She says that this one will be much more under control than the last one. She doesn't need to tell the students that it ended up a bit of a mess, with a number of things having gone wrong.

What professor Stonem DOESN'T say is that this play will be done 100% Muggle (except for lighting). No Magic. They will find out after the play is cast. So it's an excellent way to get your characters into an uncomfortable position.

For conversation's sake, we can "cast" the previous play's cast (1940). If you did not claim a spot on the pcal, you can claim one of these for your characters.

Mary - Sophia Lestrange
Joseph - VOLUNTEER (fell asleep)
Wise Man 1 - Alphard (forgot his lines)
Wise Man 2 - Julian (spoke oddly out of nerves)
Wise Man 3 - Evander (did a good job)
Shepherd 1 - Gilbert (hit someone with their staff)
Shepherd 2 - Myrtle (cried over being cast as a boy)
Angel 1 - Millicent (hit too high of a note.)
Angel 2 - VOLUNTEER (did a bad job overall)
Angel 3 - Helena (magical costume started to disintegrate before Berry kicked her off stage)
Donkey - Student who has left school
Sheep - Minerva (was hit by the staff)
Cow - Hagrid (ran wild on the stage) dragging Lance (the cow's butt) along with him.

Auditions are on the fourth! Every character who auditions earns three house points!
