alt_dracoJust a reminder to all the quidditchers I got in touch with: we're meeting at 09:00 at Malfoy Manor tomorrow morning for our first Quidditch Club meeting. Bring your gear and your brooms - after Harry goes through the agenda we'll have a scrimmage and then, just after 13:00, we'll break for a light luncheon.
If anyone can make it to New London on Friday afternoon, we'll be having our first meeting of the Junior Society for the Improvement of New London. It'll be a picnic lunch on Hampstead Heath, and then we'll walk around the Heath and pick up rubbish and mend loose fence posts. Let Harry know if you can make it, and which sandwich you would prefer: cheese and cress, cold chicken, or potted shrimps.
On Saturday afternoon the Culinary Appreciation Club will be meeting to try out a new Burmese restaurant that's just opened near Hyde Park. Let Harry know if you're interested - he'll need to know by Thursday to make the reservation. Also, the restaurant owner wanted to be sure that everyone is well aware that Burmese food is on the spicy side and that no, it's not "just like curry."
On Sunday afternoon the Avid Art-Goers are catching a matinee performance of Hex and Dodge! at the Lyceum. The theatre manager can only reserve eight seats, so let Harry known straight away if you would like to attend andDaphs wil he will be sure to add you to the list.
Let's see... I know there will be some other events going on next week, too, but I'll be on the YPL trip and won't be able to attend. But yeah, the Investigators of Ghostly Phenomenon might hold a seance at 50 Berkeley Street, and the History Club will be checking out the new Protectorate Collection (if not next week then likely the week after). Just let Harry know what you're interested in and he'll take care of the rest.

Date: 2012-06-27 12:47 am (UTC)Do you think Harry could ever be a leader? You know, the confident, take-charge sort of person that everyone seems to expect him to be?
Re: Private message to Pansy
Date: 2012-06-27 01:03 am (UTC)During the YPL group thing we had, he was really good at that. And he also was a good leader during the Tasks. I mean, during the Second Task, he pretty much decided how things were going to go. And everybody else was more experienced and older, but they still did what he told them to, and it wasn't just because of who his father was either. Even though it didn't work out quite the way he had in mind.
And the thing is, Draco, you're such a good leader, because you have that confidence and everything, that maybe it's easier for him to just sit back and let you do things sometimes.
I think if he ever were to decide to step up more at school, there'd be people there who would listen to what he had to say. But maybe he hasn't had anything he's wanted to step up for yet?
I'm not sure how that's something that can be fixed, but having him take responsibilities of little things where the stakes aren't quite so high is a good start, I think. So maybe he'll get a bit more confident.
Re: Private message to Pansy
Date: 2012-06-27 02:03 am (UTC)It's true he doesn't mind me taking charge. If he did mind, I'm not sure our friendship would have worked out so well, back when we were younger.
But I did tell him that he can be as involved as he wants to be with all of this club nonsense. He said "Okay, I don't mind doing some stuff." Ha, so good with words, that one.
Re: Private message to Pansy
Date: 2012-06-27 02:15 am (UTC)You've said before that he's got a hard time of it sometimes, dealing with the fact that he is important, and that people look to him. Maybe it's his way of being in control? By deciding not to do things?
I don't know. Anyways, maybe if he sees becoming a leader as something good, or something with a purpose, something that helps other people, that might be better? Maybe? We'll have to see.
