More IC Troublemaking Time!! (also getting this up before I have to leave for the night!)

Determined to redeem himself after the fight with Graeme, Lance spent a lot of extra time this week practicing the imperius on various cats around the common room, because he wanted to make sure he could handle it on a person for at least a few seconds by time Friday rolled around.

After classes and just before lunch as everyone was heading towards the Great Hall for food, Lance spotted Lizzy Hale, muggleborn extraordinaire and creator of That Damned List. He managed to cast the Imperius curse on her for a few moments while she was on one of the moving staircases, and had her trip herself face first down the steps. (Emily can decide how hurt she ended up!)

As soon as she started tumbling down the stairs Lance let the spell drop and kept moving into the Great Hall for lunch. A growing lad's gotta eat! (and not stick around the scene of the crime.)

WHO: Everyone! ... That went home for the holidays.
WHEN: 11 o'clock to 5 o'clock
WHAT: The trip back to Hogwarts
WHERE: Hogwarts Express
STATUS/RATING: OOC/IC / PG-13

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: Narrative and OOC/IC

( Thrown at Helena's head during dinner. )

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.
