One of the scenes in my play is going to take place in the Great Hall. They have decorated it for Esmée's arrival and made it look a bit like Beauxbatons with some blue streamers and a welcome sign in French to make her feel more at home. The scene will start with the Great Hall's big doors decorated with a welcome sign in french. The doors will open by sliding them off stage to the left and right revealing the Great Hall with the four tables in a row and a blue banner at the front of the room saying "Bienvenue, Esmée!". Little blue streamers are strung around the room and blue fireworks are going off in the sky above.

The first kind of magic we can use are magical forms of fireworks. One person will stand at one end, and someone at the other. They shoot a spark at the same time so they hit in the middle of the stage and explode. Of course, this could be dangerous if something catches on fire or a spark hits someone, but we can make it safer by having trained wizards who have practiced this doing it and people who know the water and repairing spells well. The next thing we can do which really shouldn't be all that dangerous is changing the colors of stage equipment and props during the show. For instance, we can have a flashing stage bottom by constantly changing the color to all sorts of things while people are dancing. This could be potentially dangerous if the spell hits someone instead of an object, but if we are careful about it, it really shouldn't be a problem.

Ivey heard Carrie screaming her name and looked up to see her trying to get her attention. She looked down at her dress which was a bit of a... mess. Straightening it out more so it had the look of 'pretty summer dress' and not 'wrinkly mess'. She fastened her best friend badge to her dress, right next to her prefect badge and thanked Rose for it. Ivey loved shiny things and this was the perfect addition to her robe. She noticed Sky had taken off down the long table and decided to prance behind her telling her about everything that had happened over the summer. Right as she went to get up from her seat, she noticed Will and Tarma coming into the room. She waved at both of them and watched Maxim walking up to Sky. Ivey decided to join them, walking up right as Maxim commented on Sky's ferociousness. "Now, now, she's only scary if you decide to bring a Niffler into the common room and it takes her shinies while you're in class not watching it." Ivey giggled and glanced over at Tarma - who had still not noticed her Niffler had gone missing, must have been a bit busy with the sick crup. "Hey Carrie!" Ivey called across the table to Carrie. "Would you say a Niffler in the common room is a good idea?" She grabbed a strawberry pastry off the table as it was being passed by and glanced down at her schedule.

Shiny

Nope! Hmm, Carrie?

I slap Rose because I'm also really thirsty and am thinking about taking said water jug... though perhaps I should just go and get my own.

What I ended up doing was not what I set out thinking I would be put in charge of. I rushed behind stage to find Prof. Decibel because I wanted to show off my new song selection. She wasn't entirely impressed with it and told me perhaps something else would be more fitting. While she was off fixing up someone else's act, I managed to explore the stage a bit. I watched the people in charge of props working carefully on paper macheing something which I quickly backed away from and then all of Hogwarts best writers working on wonderful scripts which I thought they're best doing by themselves. While I was looking around, I noticed something though. The way people were set up backstage wasn't a very good system. The writers were trapped in by a choir and the prop makers while the choir had to keep stepping around the jugglers practicing. I devised a system pretty quickly and began moving people around until there was enough space for everyone and they were all positioned in spots that were suiting. Prof. Decibel approached me beaming. "I know just the job for you," she said. "Why don't you be our director?" Of course, I accepted.
