The next day, after breakfast, Gryffindor stayed in the Great Hall to hear their parts.

"Black, Sirius," got the part of Kay.

"Aiken, Wyverna," got the part of Gerda.

"Evans, Lily," was the Robber-Maiden.

"Lupin, Remus," was the prince, a flower, one of the Robber-Maiden's pets and part of the Ice Queen's army.

"Pettigrew, Peter," was the Raven, a flower and part of Gerda's army.

"Potter, James," was the Reindeer, ("Yes! I get to be Lily's pet!") a flower, part of Gerda's army and a villager.

"Ok," finished Dumbledore, "rehearsals start tomorrow. I expect to see you all there."

"Yay," said Remus dully, "I get to play the prince. Lucky Wyverna, getting to play the happy couple with Sirius. Who plays my princess, anyway?"

"Um... Hestia Jones, I think. Yeah, it's Hestia."

"Good," he said in the same dull tone, "and who plays the Snow Queen?"

"Emmeline Vance."

"Good. She'll be perfect. And what about those two old women?"

"Amelia Bones and Dorcas Meadowes."

"And who plays the grandma?"

"Marlene McKinnon."

"Wow. This will be amazing. I just can't wait."

"God, cheer up, won't you, Remus?"

"Yeah, sure. Happy, happy, happy."

"I am going to get you with Sirius, ok? Trust me!"

He looked up at her. "Sorry."

Dolphin sighed. "It's ok, Remus. It's ok."
