Exuberant thanks, as always. I do think everything worked out well. Glad to give Sulo Blandis a testimonial (and besides being funny and excellent, he was very easy to work with, which is rather a pleasure in an entertainer, I believe.) The fireworks were entirely snitch, though that, of course, I completely expected, and I'm so glad we decided to make that work.
And please, don't fuss about that (former) sculpture in the Palm Room. Raz had the relevant word with people before telling me, the elves had it cleared in minutes, and.... Look, you know my tastes, and what I'm likely to think of a sculpture of the solar system with Quidditch items for the planets, no matter what its pedigree and its provenance. You know perfectly well, too, that we locked up anything really valuable to us, being sensible people about the complications of teenagers, adults, alcohol, and more potential differences of opinion than I could catalogue in an ephemeris. Anyway, none of it is your fault at all.
As to the matter with Miss Patil - ah, well. Next time round, we'll be a bit more specific with the staff for the night about what 'tell us promptly about anything the least bit odd' includes. Though one can hope this challenge will be done by then. It does rather complicate planning for what might go wrong.
