"Once again, welcome to the new first years. Howarts is a wonderful school. Now that you are sorted into your new houses, the people in your houses will be your family and home now. Just to let you know, our Head Boy and Girl this year, is Mr. Harry Potter and Ms. Hermione Granger. I remind you that the Forbidden Forest is forbidden to everyone. Just before we start the Welcoming Feast, something new will happen here at Hogwarts this year, and I am proud to tell everyone what this is. For the very first time here at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, 2 groups of 2 houses will work together to perform a theartical piece by Christmas break. This show will be shown to all your parents and little children that will be coming here to Hogwarts when they get older. You may chose what story you will perform, but it must be a children's story or Christmas story. You will be under the direction of the two house Professors, after the feast, the sorting hat will chose the houses that will work together. Now, let the feast begin!" With a wave of his wand, Professor Dumbledore finished his speech and all sorts of food filled the four long tables of Gryffindor, Ravenclaw, Hufflepuff and Slytherin.
Conversations rang from every corner of the Great Hall, as everyone talked about what house they would be working with.
"We better not be working with Slytherin," Ron said, stuffing his mouth with pieces of chicken and mashed potatoes. Hermione gave Ron a disgusted look.
"Well, whoever we work with, I'd rather not be a part of this silly matter. I mean, it's great that Professor Dumbledore is doing something for the community, but what about our studies? I personally would rather study, seeing as this is our final year at Hogwarts. Ron, you should be doing the same. You too Harry," she told them. Harry and Ron rolled their eyes at their best friend.
"Hermione, you're right, this is our last year, but we can't just spend it drowning ourselves with books, we gotta have fun as well! Besides Ron and I have to concentrate hard on quidditch, if we win again this year, it'll be seven straight glorious years! And Oliver Wood said he'd come and watch us win in the finals!" Harry commented. The 3 continued to chat, until the dishes disappeared from the tables, and the Headmaster once again took the stand.
"Silence please," he called and waited as the room quieted down.
"Now, this is what will be going on. Out of 5 school days, two of them will be dedicated on working on your play with your team. Once the teams are chosen, the two head Professors will decide on a play and the students will audition for the main parts. Everyone else who isn't in the play itself, will be part of the backbone; the crew. They will design the set, the costumes, they will do lighting and props. But, there will only be little magic used. The crew will build the set by hand, and design the costumes by hand. The only magic I will tolerate will be for lighting and props. Everything else will be done without magic," Dumbledore explained. Chorus' of groans echoed throught the room as Dumbledore held up his hand, "But, the team who has worked the hardest, in terms of indivdual and as a team, will receive points that will go directly to each house. So the harder you work with each other, and the faster you get along, the more points you score, and the more chance you get in winning the house cup!"
Cheers now replaced the groans.
"Now, the sorting hat will decide the two teams," Dumbledore picked up the old hat and sat it on the stool.
"Ravenclaw! With Hufflepuff!" The hat annonced.
"That means..." Ron gasped.
"Gryffindor! With Slytherin!" The hat hollered.
