I Solemnly Swear That I Am Up To No Good

[alt_hydra]

Are any of you trying out for Professor Carpenter and Mr Krumgold's Revue tomorrow?

I keep calling it Daphne's Revue but then she corrects me and says "oh no, it's really Gerald's. I mean, Mr Krumgold's. And Professor Carpenter's as well, of course!"

I hadn't really planned on it, but Daphne keeps asking me if I'll at least do a dance solo. She says that Mr Krumgold will want a "dainty line" for the chorus, whatever that means. I suppose I might as well, seeing as it doesn't sound like it would take up too much of my extra time, and I do want to show support for my housemate's endeavours.

I know that Remy is trying out as well. He says he wants a starring role. And Pansy, you're doing something with the music, aren't you? What of the rest of you?

And has anyone seen how much information about "Hogwarts through the Ages" that Linus Moon has thrust upon Daphne? I'm sure she's absolutely swimming in parchment by now.

Yeah. I'm trying out. I've been trying to memorise a monologue thinger. It'll be dead hilarious if I can get it down.

[alt_hydra]

Oh, that's good to hear.

Only you've not much time to memorise it before tomorrow?

[alt_ron]

Well. I've almost got it.

I think.

[alt_justin]

Hullo,

Well, as I've already told you, I think it's the sort of thing one ought to show willing to do, only I haven't any illusions about being selected to sing a solo or anything of that nature. I wonder if she'd be amenable to people offering to perform if we can do it in groups, what?

Well, I did ask her if the chorus could have people who sing but can't dance, as well as people who can dance but not sing. She seemed to say that it would be fine if the chorus had both, but that everyone should audition by doing what they feel they are best at.

I suppose that doesn't leave much room for people who don't feel they're much good at singing, dancing, or reciting funny bits of dialogue.

If you just did something in French they'd probably all be very impressed.

I thought I might. Not for any major role, though. But it might be fun to take part. Both of my roommates are trying, too.

I'm no good at acting, and I don't like the idea of getting up on stage in front of other people. But Evelyn and me are thinking of volunteering to do stuff backstage to help.

[alt_evelyn]

I've been working on makeup glamours.

[alt_pansy]

Yes, I'm helping with music selection and arrangements.

[alt_ron]

And you should totally do it.

You'll be great.

No idea what a dainty line is meant to be, though. Maybe they're going to costume the chorus as a bunch of sweets?

[alt_pansy]

I think it means she thinks Hydra's slim and graceful. Which she is!

[alt_ron]

Oh.

Well, yeah.

Who says that, though? A dainty line?


Mr Krummould, I guess.

What's he like, anywiz?
