Heath had no idea where this lesson was going from here, but whatever it was, he hoped it wasn’t more debating. Coming up with facts to support his point was exhausting after a while, and the flaring tempers and emotions that came with debate were even more exhausting. He listened intently as Holden gave the next set of instructions, and his mood instantly brightened. Not only was it not a debate, but there was an opportunity to show off his acting skills. Best lesson ever!

Already the wheels inside Heath’s head were turning. Dinner party with all five members of the Black family… The only time that all of those people would have conceivably been together for a dinner party was prior to Andromeda’s disowning. He knew that her daughter, Nymphadora Tonks, was born in 1973, so she would’ve had to have been disowned before that… which would’ve made Sirius and Regulus very young when it happened. Hmm, this was going to be a challenge! He knew he wanted to play Regulus, but he’d never played a character younger than himself before. Could he pull it off?

Then there was the question of what happened at this dinner party. He thought for several moments, and - Ooh, he had it! What if the party happened on the day Andromeda was disowned? Maybe she announced her engagement (marriage?) to Ted Tonks at the party, and the skit could show the family’s reaction to the news. Yeah, that was good! Now he just needed four more people to play the rest of the Black family. Normally Heath would shy away from group work, but this sounded too fun to pass up. Dark eyes darting about the room in search of people who weren’t already working on collages, he said, “Does anyone else want to do a re-enactment?”

A thought suddenly occurred to him, and he raised his hand. “Professor, are we supposed to perform for the entire class or just re-enact the scene amongst ourselves?” he asked. Holden hadn’t said, and he wanted to make sure he did this right!
