It was there that the Professor could be found today, strolling along the racks of costumes and checking them over for damage. She trusted the students but there was no doubt that general wear and tear from their everyday use was inevitable and she was responsible for fixing any holes for the next student - With magic of course, Fergersnout was terrible with a sewing needle and the likely outcome of any attempt at handsewing would be worse than it started as.
Satisfied that there was nothing to correct, she was temporarily distracted by the fake plastic skull sat on the shelf amongst the other props. Like a moth drawn to a flame, the History of Magic Professor picked it up, held it aloft and faced it towards her. “To be or not to be, that is the question” she spoke over-theatrically to herself. For a fashionista like Desiree, the costume closet was right up her alley! Seriously, why had none of the previous professors thought to have one of these?! Best idea ever!
Which costume would she choose today? Perhaps a medieval princess like Snow White or Sleeping Beauty? Or something from the 1700s like Belle’s outfits? Or from the Regency or Victorian era, like the heroines of the classic romance novels she loved? The possibilities were endless!
She entered the closet just in time to catch Professor Fergersnout’s performance. “Hello, Professor,” she greeted, applauding politely. “Lovely rendition of Hamlet!”
