Back to Hogwarts! The students board the train despite the rumors, but to placate parents' worries, there is a guard of hitwizards that fly around the train throughout the journey to Hogwarts. It seems all will be well, but of course there is always a bit of trouble inside the train. ALGIE AND AUGUSTA'S cat goes wild throughout the train, scratching TRUDY and VOLUNTEER. But that's not as bad as poor LIZZY'S predicament. LANCELOT stuffs her in her trunk without her getting a good look at the culprit! House elves find her in time for the feast.

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!
