Plus, she could hit people in the head with a volleyball and claim it was an accident.

Nessa turned her eyes on the inquisitive young Slytherin. "Oh of course you can play volleyball. You can do whatever you feel your character would be doing at the beach." And that did not just have to be sunbathing. In fact, she wasn't sure they did much of that 150 years ago, based on what the swimsuits looked like. She approved of the way this girl was really trying to get into character. Holding out one hand, Nessa took her wand in the other and conjured a ball to rest in the palm of her hand. "Here you are," she said, tossing the ball over towards her. "Go for it!"

Perhaps someone else would want to play...

She looked around and joined the others in the beach outfits.

Nessa nodded as the Hufflepuff girl asked a similar question. She did hope they all realized that their characters were up to their interpretations. She thought she made that clear. "Yes, dear," she smiled. "You may do what you feel your character might do at the beach.. really get into your character!" She glanced at the ball on the floor near the girl's feet. Hm.. where did that come from?

Where they ready to begin? Nessa began to turn to the class when she noticed her dragon had a question. "Well," she began, giving him a small, yet encouraging smile at his desire for further character development. "It was speculated that he was later tracked down by some dragon handlers and taken to a reserve. It wasn't as well-documented, so it can only be speculated, but there has been anecdotal evidence to the claim." She hoped that was the case at least. She hated to think of the alternative.

Nessa looked around the room, beaming proudly at her students. It looked like they had all gotten into costume and were really embracing becoming their characters. "Are we all ready?" she asked, looking around at them. It seemed that way to her. "Let's begin!" Eeep, she was SO excited! Banishing her podium out of the way, she turned to the front, and now empty, part of the room. Normally she would have like to have an actual set and props, but as this was a classroom exercise and not an actual show, a bit of magic would do. Waving her wand, she cast a modified daydream charm at the front of the class, making it appear to be covered in sand with a warm ocean breeze. That should last till the end of class.

"Now.." she said, turning back to the class again. "We do not have a script so this will be an improvisational exercise. Act and respond how you think your character would act based on how you interpret your character." One reason why it was important to visualize their characters beforehand. And they all discussed what happened so it really shouldn't be difficult, not to mention she was there to direct if need be. "Muggles.. take the stage, so to speak. That includes you Dodgy Dirk." She gave a nod in Alexa's direction. "And the Toke family as well.. you are all on vacation at the beach. Act your part." Nessa gave them all a big beamy smile and stepped out of the way for them to get started.

OOC - Thank you all for being so patient while I had family stuff today! So basically we are going to try to act out this moment in Wizarding History. You should all have your parts, which I have listed below. And if you are just jumping in now, that's ok! Just grab one of the Muggle sunbather spots, there are still plenty. We are going to start with the progressive events of scene one, where everyone is on the beach then the dragon comes to attack, the Toke family fends him off/chases him away, then they perform memory charms (just pretending today, hehe).

A few posts from each person is all that's necessary, depending on how many you feel you need to get your character's actions across. To get started most people will be doing beachy things - until the dragon attacks -but remember, it is up to YOUR interpretation of the character. Please have fun with it and I'll be around for any help or questions.

SPOILER!!: Cast of Characters

Scene One
Ilfracombe, a seaside resort in North Devon,England - 1932
A large group of vacationing Muggles are attacked by a rogue Common Welsh Green dragon. A Wizarding family is also vacationing nearby, becomes aware of the attack, and successfully fends off the dragon, preventing any fatalities. Once the dragon is dealt with, the family performs a mass of memory modification charms, as deemed necessary by the Secrecy Statute. One Muggle escapes
