Saturday's YPL event

[alt_sinistra]

YPL students:
Our first meeting with Mrs Pencarrow, for the mural and art project, is on Saturday at 2. She’ll present an overview of the project and common artistic techniques. We’ll then decide on a topic (bring your best ideas).

Finally you’ll have an opportunity to sign up for time to both work on the mural and for the tours of the Hogwarts paintings and portraits she’ll be offering (you’ll be expected to attend two over the next 6 weeks.)

Our guests are welcome to participate as well, of course, to the degree they wish - please come to the meeting and sign up for times that suit you.

Fourth years:
Due to a necessary meeting, I’d like to reschedule our class on Tuesday night the 13th.

I’m open to either meeting at midnight on Sunday (going into Monday) the 11th, or for two hours the following Tuesday (the 20th) beginning at 11 instead of midnight. If you’ve a strong preference, let me know and we’ll decide in our evening class next Tuesday.

I'll wait till I see the list for sure, but I'm inclined to say that the board is mostly just probing around to see if you can provide a good explanation for why the programme is designed as it's been designed, and are throwing in bits about me to throw you off balance. But I know you- you believe in the way you've decided to run things, so much so that you wouldn't dream of letting anyone else fill your shoes. I think if you keep that in mind, it will make this all the more bearable, love.

I... yes.

It's - all right, I think I can do this better than most people, and I'm stubborn about that.

It's not so much that I think mine is the only way. (Maybe I do, but I try to be open minded.) But more that I care that whoever does it does right by the students, and there are so many possible wrong ways.

I'm sure that there are people on that board who would admire how you put the students first. though I fear that they might keep silent about it in the face of the others. Because as a whole the board cares more about making sure that the YPL creates Protectorate-loyal students.

So, basically, if you substitute "doing right by students" with "doing right by the Protectorate," then you're golden as a gold snitch.

Right.

Repeatedly. In large letters. With rubrication and flourishes. I can manage that, I think.

On the bits about us, actually. Half-had the thought of going about it by pointing out that the Protectorate wants people to have more little witches and wizards, and that modelling relationships to students is a part of that. But I'm not sure I want to go there, either.

If you're saying you want to have my baby you could at least buy me dinner, first. Or, you know, a pie?

But yeah, best not start planting seeds. In heads or elsewhere.

That made me laugh, love. Much needed, thank you.

It was mostly on my mind because I got the quarterly selection of pamphlets from the Department of Wizarding Repopulation again yesterday. Though they swapped out the matchmaking service one, finally.
