The Great Hall was deathly silent, so much so that after the curtains rose, several students anxiously peered out to check that everyone was still, in fact, there. The stage was placed where the staff table normally sat, and all the house tables were gone, replaced with rows and rows of comfortable theater chairs. The candles used during the opening ceremonies were brought out for tonight and offered the only light besides the brightly lit stage beams. It was packed; every student and faculty member was present.
