Othello. He wished his Chocolate Frog card listed him as famous for playing Othello in the Royal Shakespearean Theatre. That remained Kingsley Shacklebolt's little secret.

Kingsley perfected his acting skills while still in school. His family was not the Slytherin kind of Sacred 28 pureblood maniacs; his family tree contained a great-uncle who married a half-blood and he wasn't disowned. But overall, anything to do with Muggles and Muggleborns remained frowned upon.

Ravenclaw was a perfectly acceptable house to be sorted into, and his parents were proud when the hat chose it for him. The private library hidden within Ravenclaw tower included Muggle literature.

First, he discovered Hamlet. Next, Macbeth. Third, Much Ado About Nothing. By the end of his first year, Kingsley managed to devour all of William Shakespeare's plays.

There were nuances a 12-year-old had no hope of understanding, but Kingsley went back, reading them again and again each year until he considered himself an expert.

He found other Ravenclaws who shared his love of the playwright, and for four years they'd staged productions in the common room. No one had brought that up in almost 30 years, so he wondered if no one now remembered it besides him.

In addition to Shakespeare, Kingsley also read as much about Muggles as he could, while secretly hidden away behind the curtains of his dorm room bed at night, with the tip of his wand lit up. If a Muggle writer could be the penultimate author, Kingsley hungered to know what else non-magical people could offer.

Kingsley's knowledge of Muggles, coupled with his acting abilities, ended up playing a large part in saving the Wizarding World. And for that, he was given a Chocolate Frog trading card.

The card told of his time as undercover protection for the Muggle Prime Minister - Muggle knowledge (at the time he was apparently the only pureblood within the entire bloody Ministry capable of wearing a three-piece suit) and the ability to play a part.

It detailed his spy work for the Order of the Phoenix within the Ministry - performance skills again.

His recurring role as Royal on Potterwatch - oratory skills necessary when on stage.

And now Kingsley had been elected the Minister of Magic. A role that could only be properly filled by a wizard or witch able to calmly proceed as if they knew what they were doing, even when they didn't.

Kingsley set the card down with a sigh. There still continued to be so much work left for Kingsley and Harry to do, leading the wizarding world into better times. Othello would have to wait.

Luckily for Kingsley, all the world's a stage, and all the men and women merely players; they have their exits and their entrances, and one man in his time plays many parts.
