Private Message to Pav and Lines

[alt_padma]

Daphs and I have been talking more about her musical idea. Lines, do you think Karo would be willing to help a bit, even if she is planning her wedding and all?

And Pav, Daphs asked if you'd speak to Madam Hooch about backing us up if she goes to Madam Umbridge about making it part of the YPL's activity for the year. Like the play only Madam Umbridge wouldn't have to lift her wand about it. I told her you and Lav could take care of Hooch.

Lines, I know you're excited for Saturday but we do need to think about History Club for Monday. Maybe something from the 19th Century when the conclaves of West Indian wizards took over the old Whitechapel area of New London? Or maybe you have other ideas.

(And I know you think the Omnioculars are a good idea so you'll be able to see their wandwork but honestly, we'll be indoors. You'll look like an idiot if you bring them. Seriously.)

Oh, Pav, incidentally, I checked with Gambol and Japes and they'll send us the seeds and candles and everything for Navratri next week. Gupta says he's got a few idols his parents sent with him, too. Rohani says she'll arrange for the space to be kept clear for the week, so we can leave it set up and don't have to clear it every night.

The West Indian wizards of Whitechapel sound just the thing, Padma. I'll search the library for a street map of London from the nineteenth century. I think Madame Pince showed me some old guides for travelers when I was doing a report on historical wizarding tourism economics. Maps of that sort are too fragile to bring to History Club, but if I find one she'll probably let me do duplication and enlargement charms on it, which is better because then we can levitate it and everyone can see it at once and it will be absolutely SNITCH.

That would be nift, Lines.

Only this time, could you leave off the spells that make it turquoise? It was pretty but really hard to read. Just a normal map would be great.

Oh, and did you see that Weasely's devising some sort of scorecard for tomorrow's demonstration? I'm sure you could give him loads of pointers on what to include. If you wanted to help, that is.

I'll be in the Corner this afternoon but come by after your Creatures lesson and we can talk more about Monday.

No turquoise. Right-o, then.

I'm afraid Karo bit my head off recently when I tried to engage her in casual conversation about wedding customs among wizards of the eighteenth century, and she's not speaking to me at the moment.
