There was so much excitement, Shreya almost didn't know where to start. Of course, she wanted to watch the auditions. But she also wanted to observe the stage crew. She had only ever acted in Muggle productions before, and she was looking forward to what magic could bring to the set. So she joined June's group for now, taking a spot by Norman. She kept one ear open for the monologues though—just in case she heard anything interesting from the thespians.
Shreya was content to observe and let June take the lead. It gave her more time to think of set and costume design ideas, which she occasionally jotted down on her clipboard as they came to her. "I'm glad you're here. Transfiguration could be a huge help in this department," Shreya mentioned to Norman. In Muggle theater, they relied on several huge, heavy set pieces. Transfiguration would surely make the process a lot easier...and more intricate.
Avalon smiled back at Lisa as she flipped through a few monologues. How these actors and actresses managed to read these scripts cold—without much preparation at all—was beyond her. "I think a comedic script would be perfect you for. Something light, airy, and happy! I'm excited to watch." She gave her housemate an encouraging nod. A play with a bunch of Ravenclaws as the leads? Now that would be a real house pride moment.
Once they were split up, Avalon headed over to Professor Peralta's group, trunk in tow. She found a spot near Eden and Ingrid, particularly interested in the latter's sketchbook. "I'd love to see your designs someday! Maybe we can work together on an outfit sometime," she whispered to the third year, pointing to her own sketchbook in return. Fashion design was always more fun when you could combine creative ideas.
She got to work once the Charms professor gave the directions, rummaging through her own trunk and the one provided to them to find some inspiring materials. Settling on a glittery piece of pastel tulle, Avalon figured that she would design a costume for a fairy. She whipped out her sketchbook and used the pencil tucked behind her ear to map out a general design—her fairy needed a pretty dress, iridescent wings, and lots of sparkles.
