Introduction:
The Great Hall resounded with the noise of students talking, owls screeching, and the general chaos that occurred when gathering that many people into a room at one time. Albus Dumbledore stood calmly in front of the crowd, and with a wave of his hand, silenced the mass of people.
"As you all know, I've gathered us here to promote a greater sense of inter-House unity," the old man began. As he spoke, several food items flew between the Hogwarts Houses' tables, striking various people.
"I feel that the yearly competitions between each of the Houses have divided us as a school, and so, I have devised a plan to unite us once more."
Dumbledore began handing out a stapled stack of papers to several students and teachers, and there was a general grumble about having to do more work.
"No, no!" the Headmaster chuckled, a smile stretching across his face. "This is the script for a play, based on A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens. We will improvise the story now, and you should consider these lines to be more of a rough guide than an actual script that must be followed. Be creative, and together, we will produce a finished masterpiece. Only teamwork and cooperation will allow us to accomplish this! Now!" Dumbledore, finished passing out the scripts, grinning even more broadly, knowing that this was going to be a great success. He settled himself offstage, close enough to the actors to gently help them along should they get stuck.
"Let us begin!"
