"Must be one of Kellen's," Allegra answered, knowing he had been taking Divination the previous year.
With a dramatic flourish she struck a Hamlet-esque pose and began, over-enunciating her words as she read.
"Ode to a Crystal Ball.
On the fair night of a full moon, Within the cavernous room illuminated by the flickering candles, The Seers doth gaze into your visage. Oh, that I were that orb into which thou gazeth Feeding thou those secrets of thine future And easing thy mind as the green cloud Brings forth news of longevity and health. The smell of incence refreshes my soul And I am at peace."
With that, Allegra dropped her head in a bow, her soliloquy at an end.

"Hey there. I guess we both had the same idea. I hope Drew left us with something to munch on. That is the one thing I know he loves" Violet said with a giggle.
Looking around, Violet settled for some cookies and butterbeer to wash them down. The smooth taste of the beer warmed Violet's stomach very nicely.

"Nice," Arianna clapped for Allegra's performance. She may have just surpassed Hiro in the dramatic arts. "Very beautiful."

"Brrrravo! Brrrrravo!" Drew cried out, rolling his Rs pompusly as he gave his sister an ovation as well. Once again, he finished quickly and grabbed his seat. "Who's up next?" he asked, seeing that the other girls were the only ones not to try the balloon.

"I volunteer," Lily said, raising her hand. "My luck I'll pop it. I don't know how you didn't pop it Drew, but there's about a 99 percent chance I will. I'm just that lucky. Give me a balloon. She took one and sat on it and all was going good until 9 and a half seconds. Then the balloon proceeded to pop loudly. She stood up, looking for the slip of paper. Maybe she had gotten lucky and there wasn't one.

Arianna was about to jump up and grab a balloon herself, but Lily got there before she could and was the lucky one to receive the slip telling her to speak like a canine. The one Arianna knew she would feel the least embarrassed about if she had received it.

"I have a talented butt," Drew answered with a grin, thinking Lily got off easy, but noting that the good tasks Allegra had hinted at hadn't come up yet. With any luck, when his turn came around, he'd get one of those.

"Yeah, yeah, sure," Lily said. "We should all bow down to the butt of Drew." She closed her eyes in concentration to prepare herself for the task at hand. She thought she might just be able to throw her voice into one of those high-pitched barks. She was good at doing imitations, she always had been. It wasn't long before she was making noise that sounded not unlike the barking of a dog no bigger than a shoebox.

Violet sat very comfortable in one of the couches and watched the entertainment. The new feel to the school brought on a more relaxed environment for her fellow Ravenclaws.
"That is an interesting talent there, Drew" Violet replied from her couch.

"How about we keep that particular talent to yourself, Drew?" Allegra told her brother, making a funny face at him before cheering Lily's dog impersonation. "Well done! Well done!" she shouted with a big grin on her face.

"Nice one," Arianna clapped and cheered for Lily. The girl had done a really good impression and Arianna was quite impressed.

"I've always been good with impersonations. I've got a really good ear for it. Always have. It's my little talent. Hold on, I've been practicing this one." She closed her eyes for a second getting into her mojo. She had a mojo for each person she did. "Lily," she started in near perfect imitation of Drew's voice though not quite. "It's not my fault we get blamed for everything else. We're innocent."

Though Hiro recognized people by their voices he was even thrown off by Lily's impression. It sounded almost like Drew and if he hadn't been in the room he would have asked 'Drew' how long his throat had been hurting.

"I SO do not sound like that," Drew answered, smirking a little, though he was impressed with Lily's trick too.

"Actually..." Hiro was about to tell Drew how close they sounded but instead decided to avoid conflect by stuffing a cookie into his mouth.
