And then the crazy Astronomy professor started reciting a line from, arguably, one of Shakespeare's best plays. The young Gryffindor gave him a round of applause when he made quite the dramatic pose. Maybe he wasn't crazy after all. He did seem to understand her passion, unlike some of the other professors at Hogwarts. So bonus points for that. Now he just needed to stop creeping around girls' bathrooms and sneaking up on her.
"Oh, professor, there is no need to tell me who the Aldridges are. I've studied them both, among many of the greats, back at WADA," Demelza said with a nod of her head. Such talented men, they were. But let's not forget about the women in the acting industry. So inspirational, they were! "I sadly didn't have the pleasure of watching Prentis Aldridge play Othello. When I went this past summer, Silas Osgood had the role. But Iago was played by Clifton Branagh. It was interesting to see an ancestor of Sir Kenneth Branagh's take on the same role he once played, though he played Iago through film and not on the stage."
Flamsteed then went on to tell her this theory about the mirror. She considered it for a moment, only coming to the conclusion that he was basically telling her that she was at least half-right. The mirror was indeed broken. "A two-way mirror? Hmm." She taped her chin. It was a possibility. "Then why hasn't anyone fixed it yet? Should I find a Ravenclaw? They are pretty smart, you know."
But he suggested that maybe she needed to act a scene from Snow White. Naturally, Demelza couldn't pass up an opportunity to perform for someone. "Oh, I think my Evil Queen is rather fantastic." She then coughed to clear her throat and then closed her eyes. When they opened, Evil Queen Demelza inched closer to the mirror and stared into it for a moment before...
"Mirror, mirror on the wall. Who is the fairest of them all?"
