Oi!

Right then, who didn't get the owl that the battle scene spells were supposed to be illusion only?

I certainly wasn't expecting to get almost bashed in the head from a Merlin-blasted exploding podium!

No, I just heard Karoline say that Perks has to do it. But she's sent for Professor Sinistra to see if we can get polyjuice potion so she'll look like Bundy and no one will know she's been replaced.

[alt_percy]

Oh, for goodness sakes. Using Polyjuice potion for something like this?

Try acting.

[alt_neville]

I must say, the first Act turned out to be even more exciting than everyone expected it would be.

[alt_gredforge]

Makes us quite intrigued to see Act 2!

THEY ARE GOING TO MAKE ME GO OUT THERE AND PLAY ALECTO CARROW.

DO YOU KNOW IF SHE'S WATCHING? IS SHE IN THE AUDIENCE???

Re: I Solemnly Swear That I Am Up To No Good

[alt_neville]

Blimey.

Um, I haven't seen either of them. Either Mr Professor Carrow or Miss Professor Carrow. Fortunately.

Re: I Solemnly Swear That I Am Up To No Good

[alt_sally_anne]

Well that's something.

And I know all the lines.

Okay.

Re: I Solemnly Swear That I Am Up To No Good

[alt_neville]

You'll do fine. It'll be okay.

Re: I Solemnly Swear That I Am Up To No Good

[alt_gredforge]

Ooh, what a golden opportunity, Perks. Have fun.

Re: I Solemnly Swear That I Am Up To No Good

[alt_terry]

No, Neville's right. Play it straight. Don't do anything extra to draw attention to yourself.

Um, just don't smile, and look confident as you can.

[alt_sally_anne]

I didn't ask for polyjuice potion.

I think Moon thinks that it will confuse the audience since I don't look anything like Bundy. Also it will make the costume fit properly. Abbot, can you help me with this? I think Bundy outweighs me by a stone. Or two.

[alt_lavender]

Do you need a hand charming the robe to fit? I can Reducto it really quickly!

[alt_sally_anne]

Yes thank you, that would be very helpful!

[alt_lavender]

No problem. The show must go on!

[alt_padma]

Well, she wasn't Miss Professor Carrow for the whole first half!

Besides, it's your girlfriend going spare trying to find Perks a proper costume.

[alt_percy]

If you see her, you can assure her that, all things considered, it's really going rather well. Of course, the first Act was truncated, but the audience didn't see too much amiss.

[alt_penelope]

More to the point, Bundy was hexed deliberately, I'm sure of it. And not by Perks.

Could you come backstage, Perce? I need someone who can cast the Priori.

[alt_percy]

On my way.
