I can't believe I forgot
Nov. 5th, 2010 10:44 amto get fireworks on Sunday! Haruman had reminded me that we'd be able to get some in Hogsmeade, but then I didn't write it on my list. And Parvati didn't think about it, either. I guess everyone's going to our Aunt and Uncle's, so Mum and Dad don't have to worry about hosting everyone at home, or Haruman could have had extra to send us when we forgot. It's Diwali, you see, and that means lighting oil lamps and new clothes and sweets and fireworks.
Luckily Rohani got quite a number of them, and candles besides, and the six of us or so are going down by the lake at dusk to set them off. She got permission from Professor McGonagall and Mr Dawlish, as long as he's there in case they go off-course.
Anyone who wants to join us for the candlelighting is welcome!
Oh, and Mum sent a whole tin of sweets, and Parvati says we ought to share them round as they won't last and we really oughtn't eat the whole lot. There's a little tiny box of Turkish Delights, too, but those are mine!!
Oh, and Rohani said that Desai and Gupta want to read out the story of Rama and Ravana, which if you've never heard it before it's snitch. So you could come for that if you wanted.
It's so nift that Diwali starts on a Friday this year. Last year it was nearly impossible to do anything because it was Monday straight through, and everyone had lessons and homework all week.
