Kitty had never been in a play before. They looked very fun, but she'd never really felt like enrolling in one out of a case of nerves. But as soon as she'd seen the flyers for this event, she knew she had to be in it. This would be her last and only chance to do something like this while at school, and the fact that she was graduating this term (just thinking this made her sad) made her want to do this even more.

After a little while of researching, she knew what she would perform - just she wasn't 100 % certain what role she would audition for. At first she thought you had to audition as one of the characters from the play, but after talking to several other students she realized that many of them would be acting scenes from many different plays - not just the Fountain of Fair Fortune which they were auditioning for.

She arrived on the scene a little later than most of her classmates. Not late (that would be unbecoming of the head girl) but one of the last in line to audition. She was also dressed forMhe part. While the super pale makeup was normal for her, today it was also part of her costume. And what was NOT normal for her was her wild hair, which was deliberately combed upwards and sideways and every which way to make it look like she were a mad scientist.

Smiling at anyone who stared, Kitty waited patiently to be called in. Then it was her turn. She took a deep inhale, closed her eyes, then slowly exhaled Yoga-like. Relaxed, she walked boldly into the Room of Requirement.

Red curtain. WHEW! Kitty smiled at Professor Myers and pointed at her wild hair. "It's for my audition today, this isn't my new style."

"So, um, good morning Professor Myers," she started somewhat awkwardly, though she wasn't nervous. The need to clarify about her hair kind of messed up her intro. "I'm going to be playing a scene from a play I saw when I was a kid, but I've edited it just a little to take out a swear word or two." Because he wouldn't likely approve of students dramatically shouting swear words around!

And with that, the Goth skipped her way towards the stage and stood at the center. She crouched her shoulders and forced a stony expression into her face, and stared to her right. "I had him! No, I had him!" She stalked off to the edge of the stage and began muttering under her breath in a sing-song voice. "His throat was there beneath my hand...his throat was there and now he'll never come again."

She jerked her head around to stare at someone non-existent behind her. There was pause for a few seconds, as though she was listening to something being said. "When?!" she hissed, advancing towards that non-existent person. "Why did I wait? You told me to wait! Now he'll never come again!"

The next few lines she skipped because they contained a swear word. Honestly, she'd sworn a few times back in London - but not at Hogwarts where younger kids could hear or older people could scold.

"They all deserve to die," she continued, starting to sing now. "Tell you why, Mrs. Lovett, tell you why. Because in all of the whole human race Mrs. Lovett, there are two kinds of people and only two. There's the one staying put in his proper place, and the one with his foot on the other one's face! Look at me Mrs. Lovett, look at you! No we all deserve to die! Even you, Mrs. Lovett, even I. Because the lives of the wicked should be made brief. For the rest of, death will be a relief. No, we allllll deserve to die."

Kitty dropped dramatically to her knees and extended her arms to her sides, forcing a look of absolute sorrow on her features. "And I'll neeeeeeeever see Johanna, no I'll never hug my girl to me - FINISHED!"

And she stood dramatically, dropping the sadness and replacing it with a look of indignation. (Anyone who'd ever seen her attack the Statute or defend Muggles in a debate would recognize that look as Pure Kitty DuGray Valentine - co-opted for Sweeney.) "Alright! You sir, how about a shave?" She pointed at Professor Myers for effect. 'Come and visit your good friend Sweeney. You sir, too sir?" Pointing now to something to Professor Myer's left. "Welcome to the grave!"

"I will have vengeance.
I will have salvaaation.
Who sir, you sir?
No ones in the chair, Come on! Come on!"

And she curled her lips above her teeth, revealing plastic vampire like fangs. She spoke in a raspy voice. "Sweeney's. Waiting. I want you. You sir! Anybody! Gentlemen now don't be shy!"

Then she forced the pained expression back on her face and extended her arms, and cast her gaze up to the ceiling. This time she did not drop, but rather spun around slowly in a circle while singing.

"Not one man, no, nor ten men.
Nor a HUNDRED can assuage me.
I will have you!
And I will get him back even as he gloats!
In the meantime I'll practice on less honorable
throats.
And my Lucy lies in ashes,
And I'll neeeeever see my girl again.

But the work awaits!
I'm alive at last!
And I'm full of JOOOOOYYYYYYY!!!!"

Shaking with pride and nervousness, Kitty approached Professor Myers. "That's Sweeney Todd, a creepy Muggle play about a serial killer. I don't know who I want to audition for, but I'll be happy in whatever role you want to give me." Smiling, she strolled out of the stage, hardly daring to believe she'd just sung for Professor Myers.
