It was true that Shakespeare was full of Elizabethan English, an early rendition of their modern language which could make reading his plays a little complicated but that kind of added to the romanticism and interest of them. “I imagine many Muggles would think that we are a little set in our ways too, don’t you? We do after all live in a castle lit by candlelight,” she chuckled. Hogwarts probably wasn’t far off from a Tudor castle.

As for Hamlet being her favourite? “Merlin, no. I much prefer his comic works to his tragedies. Twelfth Night is such a hoot!” She could appreciate that tragedy made for an interesting storyline but Apollonia often longed to leave the theatre in tears of laughter rather than sorrow.

Desiree considered the professor’s point. She often wondered what muggles, like her grandparents, would think of Hogwarts and the Wizarding World in general, She imagined the reactions would be pretty split. Some, like her grandmother, would probably be intrigued. Others, like her grandfather, would probably be exactly like the professor said, stuck in their ways. “I think so too,” she replied after some thought, “though one could argue that many muggles are set in their ways too. Anyway, I like living in a castle. It’s nice and cozy.” That, and it reminded her of the fairytales she grew up with!

Desiree giggled. “Oh, I stand corrected!” Twelfth NIght… that sort of rang a bell, but she couldn’t recall many details of that particular play. “It’s been a while since I read Twelfth Night. The main characters are Viola and Sebastian, right?”

Her eyes wandered to the pretty red gown again. “Speaking of which, this costume looks rather Shakespearean, don’t you think? Are there accessories that go with it?”
