As you walk down the first floor corridor headed towards the History of Magic classroom, the faint sounds of music can be heard coming from that direction. It's not all that loud and seems more for the benefit of Professor Glendower as she is putting herself in the proper mindset for class.
Outside the classroom door hangs a large, ornate sign with the message, Make an Entrance. It is the same sign that hung outside the room last year, but she has written in her own flowery cursive the word Respectfully underneath it as she realized that some students needed the reminder. She was all about creativity and individual interpretation, but it was important to be nice too!
Once inside the classroom, you'll find Professor Glendower who might be singing along to the music as she happily dances through the rows of chairs, placing a chocolate frog on each desk. Welcome to History of Magic!
Cutty was about to answer the two boys he'd been working with. They both gave very good clues and he felt no inkling of insecurity at his guesses. But then Professor Glendower called to end the class and put back the costumes. Cutty did this. But only the feather boa. The lipstick he kept on even after gathering his things and heading out.
Where was Walker? He felt like if anytime NOW was the time to make kissy faces at him.
But what if he didn't throw the first punch? What if he liked it?
"Thanks for the lesson, Professor Glendower." Merlin. Theatre people. That was fast becoming Cutty's boggart.

Ian heard the professor say that time was up. He looked back to his partner and shrugged. Oh well. Ian walked over to the prop box and removed his costume items. He walked back to his desk and picked up his satchel. walking toward the door, Ian waved to the professor. have a good evening, professor. Thank you. He reached into the satchel and grabbed the chocolate frog and bit into it as he left the room.

Where did that leave them?
Ravenclaws were meant to be smart, and sometimes smart meant making it up as you went along. "It looks like a tiara." Just saying. And if it was a diadem, then... samesies, y'know? Play along, Ravenclaw!
"Do... you... are you a girl?" That question had gone so well when she asked the 'Puff.
Speaking of the 'Puff, the girl was off again, changing costumes and still talking really really loud and close, and Dot had no clue what she was supposed to ask next. This person was a female and she wore disguises and she liked to be set on fire. Was she a spy? Who... no, the fire part seemed way more important.
"Are you dead or alive now? And how long have you been dead, if you are... dead?"
Oh, guessing? You taking notes there, 'Claw? This was how this game was played. "YES YES, good. I wrote that book. I love cheese."
Layla wasn't sure whether the sigh she released was a relieved sigh because the lesson was over and she could take the diadem off and leave or it was a sigh of annoyance because she had been cut short. The Ravenclaw kinda wanted the participation points you know? If she had to stay at this place she had better form some allegiance to a house and if she was gonna do a good job she might as well do it really well.
So instead of leaving like the other students were she quickly answered the young girl with a small smile. Kid looked kinda.. Who knew really? Layla wasn’t one of those super doting types, she loved her Nephews but they were pretty much it. “I’m most definitely a girl.. Or a woman rather. A very long dead woman.” Was that good enough? Could she just guess now? “And this thing here” she pointed at the tiara Diadem. “Gives me great wisdom.” Yep. She was practically giving it to her on a plate. Did she have to keep this Scottish accent up?
Now what the miniature Slytherin didn’t know was that she had actually been listening in to her conversation with the other girl. And she had heard all about her cheese loving ways and DID have her textbook open to search. Mostly because she wanted to get this lesson over and done with and the other girl seemed to be stumbling over her guess. She waited for a few minutes just in case she did come up with her answer but when she didn’t the Ravenclaw leant down and whispered into the younger girls ear. “Greta Catchlove.” Back to her normal south London accent. She was right yeah? Of course she was right she had actually looked it up.

PLUS she sort of liked the heightened-Slytherin version Kyroh. Not better than the ACTUAL Kyroh, though. JUST to be clear.
Maddie nudged back, a small smile playing on her lips. "You were right. S'cause you're smart." She then took a bit of her long blonde fake hair and poked his cheek with it, just cause. It was SOFT for a wig, yeah?
"You are correct, Salazar Slytherin." She was correct TOO, right? Opinionated, driven, arrogant, rather unlikable? Kyroh really WAS a good actor. "Let's hear some parseltongue, yeah?" Juuuust kidding. Heh.
Smart? Him? Heh. Kyroh didn't smile or beam or anything. Because he was Salazar and he probably didn't get super excited when people called him smart.
But he WOULD probably giggle if someone poked his face with hair. Hehehe.
"RIGHT!" Oh er-"I mean- correct of course." GLARE. LOOKING DOWN AT YOU. Really, he didn't know how long he could keep this up for, but it was a good thing that Glendower starting to speak again. Leaning closer to Maddie he lowered his voice. "Hassssshaaaassssaaaaas Ssssssssssshshsh hassaslalasslasss" There. Totally Parseltongue. He even wiggled his fingers in front of her face cause that was how the language worked DUH.
Pulling off the robe Kyroh made his way to put it back with the other costumes. But he left the beard on.
He could rock the beard brilliantly.

But they'd come to establish that she wouldn't be the little girl prancing through the forest. It was all hypothetical, did she see??
Hold on. "Pardon? No villains?" Maleficent tossed her card down, now losing all interest. Once again her feet swung back onto the table and she got into a more relaxed position. "I dislike being the one to tell you but those cards aren't worth jack. Not a notable figure to be found if they've all been society's martyrs and how very one track minded of the fool to come up with these." Not a single bad guy? Not one? Well it was just as well. She didn't want to be on some bendy card that children threw about anyway.
As for what she would get, the Dark Queen could admire that. Doing nothing without something in return. "Why, an end to this game of course. You're meant to guess who I am and I doubt you'll have a clue with me reclining the way I am and I am in turn meant to make a guess but if you aren't Red then I'm afraid I'm at a loss." This could be mutually beneficial. How did the child not see this?
At the request to keep up, Brooklyn gave the crazy head girl her best superior look. She wasn’t the one falling behind anyhow. At least she knew who she was, even considering the fact she was portraying an awesome druidess who influenced potions and healed people. She still knew who she was, and obviously the older girl didn’t. “Well duh. But I’m not her, so there’s no need to assume I might be,” she responded, wanting to flick her hair but hampered by the hood of her cloak. It really was in the way, but it was important. That was in the picture eon the card in her pocket, so it had to stay up.
She actually did roll her eyes at the reaction to her saying evil people didn’t get cards. She couldn’t stop herself. “Maybe they’re not notable to you, but they weren’t made for you either. And course they aren’t really worth much.” They were really just cardboard with pretty pictures and information printed on them, even if the pictures could interact with the person looking at them. That was just a cool Wizarding thing. She could care less if the head girl, or the evil fairy, felt disappointed the list of people on the cards wasn’t more open. Especially since she couldn’t do anything about it.

She stood back a bit, allowing the children to get their things first, then when all was clear, she found an old mop handle that she picked up and used it like a walking stick. That would do, she supposed.
Wandering around the room in costume, she observed all the little acts, smiling as the students got into their character of history. Good.. not only were they learning more about the character, but they were educating their friends about them too. Just what she wanted. But now came the part that she liked least - the end of class. Still wearing her flowery toga, she walked to the front of the room and raised her voice just slightly to get the attention of the room..
"Attention, everyone! I'm afraid that time is up for our lesson today." And she would just hate to make them late for their next class even if she would just love to continue. "Wonderful job everyone! I hope you learned something new about an important figure in our history today." They didn't need to affirm that because she was certain they did.. and acting it out would only cement that in their brains. "Homework will be posted shortly.. please put everything away that you had gotten out today and you are dismissed!"
”That isn’t actually anything that benefits me. Professor Glendower can end it whenever she wants,” she continued, as evil fairy!head girl tried to say her prize for giving in was an end to the argument. That’s what it was, anyway. She hadn’t been asked any question about who she was, so the game wasn’t happening. She wasn’t about to just say who she was supposed to be portraying, and it wasn’t her fault if the head girl wasn’t even trying.
Even as her words had been spoken, Professor Glendower had announced time was up, and she had jumped down from her chair. Honestly, all she learned was that the head girl was really and truly bonkers, but it had been interesting. She decided to ignore her as she made her way back to the box, dropping the birds inside, followed by the bottle. Then the cloak came off and was dropped inside as well. See? Game over. End of argument, and she went back to collect her bag and half-eaten frog. Her Cliodne card was still in her robe pocket, of course. “Thank you Professor,” she said to the woman, still pointedly not paying attention to the crazy girl probably still reclined on the desk. She had better places to be than continuing to argue with crazies over cards.

YOU OKAY MAN? "....psssst.... you better be faking...Plus I don't have a CLUE who you are, so we gotta work this out...."
Success. Ruby opened her eyes, wrinkling her nose somewhat at the nostril blowing but otherwise proving that playing possum was actually pretty effective at times. She sat up. "Maybe I should be an actress."
Not that she thought the money would be worth it.
"Ohh I'm Dymphna Furmage. She like, got abducted by pixies when on holiday and then hated them forever and kept trying to make the ministry destroy all pixies. All I got from yours was the WWN." But that part had been fun.
And... class was over? Cool. That was the BEST. Class being over. That went for all classes, always. She got up, shamelessly grabbing Zahra and using her as a lever to do so, and then dusted herself off.
Time to put away costumes then. Ruby got rid of it all and then spent a moment primping and preening as her regular self.
