About to volunteer to be the dragon. An older student beat her to the punch. But that was okay, because he was totally willing to have someone play the tail. Flailing her hands in the air, she said, "I want to be the tail. I want to be a dragon part." Maybe she was just a tail, but she would STILL be part of a DRAGON.
How cool was that?
A younger Hufflepuff was quick to volunteer to help with the tail, and Mo gave her a cheerful wave before scooting out of his seat to claim the dragon costume. Honestly, he didn't know how Lux would be his tail, unless they extended it, attached a stick, and let her wave it. She couldn't get INTO the costume with him.
"Come on, partner. Let's go get dressed, then."

Oh she was just waiting for someone to volunteer the part of the dragon! And she quickly rushed behind her podium to get a small vial of potion that was stored on the shelf there. "Absolutely, you can play the dragon!" she responded with much excitement. "And.. if you'd like to simulate breathing fire.." Which she highly recommended for effect. "Here is some fire-breathing potion." She thrust the vial into the boy's hands. "If you choose to use it, just hold it in your mouth, don't swallow it. And you'll be able to breathe out what looks like fire, but it's not hot enough to burn."
Mo grinned broadly as he was assigned the role of the dragon officially, and even MORE broadly when the costume reshaped around him to fit better. That was good, honestly, because he was a bit tall and broad shouldered for a costume meant for smaller teenagers, and it had been quite an unfortunate fit before it expanded to make room for him.
He accepted the potion gratefully from the professor, giving her a small salute. "I've used it before, Professor. Thanks." Not swallowing it was definitely good advice, as Mo remembered just how unpleasant an experience it was when one's stomach was on fire.
