WHO: ALL OF GRYFFINDOR
WHEN: Saturday post dinner
WHERE: Gryffindor Common Room
SUMMARY: ic/ooc for the Gryff sleepover!

Parvati (and anyone who volunteered/got roped in to help) spent most of Saturday getting the Gryffindor common room set up for the Gryffinparty. It was meant to be a way to get to know the younger years and make them feel safer/let them know the older years were there for them, but with today's news, turned more into a comfort party for everyone.

All the lounges were moved to the side to create room for masses of pillows and blankets (Parvati expected everyone to strip their beds and bring down all their bedding for the giant sleepover!) and the area with the couches formed a mini fort. She also encouraged everyone to bring all their sweets (and stole some of the dessert from dinner to bring back up) and stockpile them for everyone to share.

She wasn't sure if anyone would still be in the mood for makeovers/face painting/dancing but people could easily claim a seciton of the room to run that activity if they wanted. Please claim an activity below if your character did run anything, and comment with how they were feeling/what they did/etc etc You all know how ic/oocs work!

Any interested students were welcome to attend the auditions, either as one to audition or one to watch in support. Those who wanted to audition were required to sign up and then were called up in random order once the actual auditions began.

Professor Slughorn was strong armed into greeting all of the students who came for auditions. He spoke briefly about all the WADA graduates that he had taught and went on a bit of a tangent about one in particular (really fantastic, always brought down the house and always had the best seats for me) before encouraging everyone to take this seriously and work hard for inter-house unity and the opportunity to participate in a cultural activity.

Alecto Carrow then 'introduced' Professor Mulciber and Librarian Pince. Professor Mulciber will be overseeing backstage development. Students who participate in helping to create sets, costumes, etc., will be given additional Charms extra credit. Librarian Pince is the stage manager.

She had people read from selections of works and sing parts of wizarding songs. No scripts were passed out but she assured them that it was a new play that would stun the wizarding world with it's class and deep meanings. Take that for what you will.

The cast list will be announced on Sunday, the 5th.
