A notice in the Commons

Once the new term had begun as it should, there arrived a new poster on the noticeboard in each of the commons. It was printed neatly on unassuming plain parchment, but its rhyme and reason were likely to cause much excitement. The title of this notice read, 'School Concert' in large, bold letters, attracting the attention of anyone who would stray near the board. Below the title were further details. Each of these notices were identical, and the text was as follows:

At the end of this school year you will have the opportunity to take part in a concert, arranged and performed by students of Sonora Academy. The concert will be held in the Cascade Hall, with an audience of your fellow students and school staff. Each House will showcase two performances: one group act, and one solo act. If you would like to take part in either of these performances in any way, please indicate your interest by signing your name, year, and particular interests and/or skills on the sheet below.

The final details of the performance will be decided by your House prefects and Head. Please contact them if you have any queries concerning the concert.


The three-columned space below allowed for some detail of suggestions, and also permitted students to indicate whether they desired to be considered for the solo performance, and what they would perform, or if they would prefer to remain behind the scenes. With such variety offered to the students in each House, it was unlikely the sign-up sheet would remain blank for any great amount of time.\r\n\r\n

Agreeing to join the Concert was, all things considered, a stupid thing for Anne to do. Since she'd done it, and done it in a public place to boot, she took a somewhat battered quill from her pocket once the House meeting ended and put her name on the pitifully bare list of volunteers for what would either be a credit to the House or proof that social events should be banned.

Anne Wright, 7th Year, Can do Whatever. Okay on broom, some music, Charms/Transfiguration good enough for stage-magic.

Strictly speaking, Anne could also dance. Along with music, her mother had made her take ballet lessons, and she'd been taught formal dancing as part of her etiquette lessons when she'd first come to Magnolia Grove. Since she liked to keep that information fairly quiet, however, she decided to tell Bella about it privately instead of putting it on the board for everyone to see.

Now that she was officially in, Anne's first major order of business was to reevaluate her schedule and figure out what she'd have to do to incorporate practicing for the Concert. Her second order of business was to find her cousin and her best friend and bully them into joining the event.
