Upcoming events...

[alt_draco]

Just 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 and Daphs 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.

Private Message to Draco Malfoy

I will?

So, I guess this is what you were talking about earlier. About doing stuff this summer. I guess I didn't think it'd be this...

involved?

Goodness, dear, I'd no idea you were already embarking on your career as Harry's social secretary.

You'll be happy to know Fifi's excited to trot out her lemon mousse for your friends tomorrow. Is there anything else you particularly wanted that's not finished yet?

[alt_pansy]

Brilliant. I'm quite looking forwards to the Avid Art-Goers' first meeting, it's been ages since I've been to the theater.

I think this is certainly a way to get people active during the summer months, and there's so many things for different tastes, I'd imagine that quite a few people can find at least something they'd like to do. And I'd so much rather explore New London with friends than sit at home.

Oh, and if no-one's volunteered yet, I'd like to be secretary of the Culinary Appreciation Club, Harry. I can come up with little rating cards for the restaurants, and make a scrapbook of the menus, you know, for archival purposes. I can also help out with reservations and things if you'd like.

Well, that's gone and done with. I feel like Crispin or something. I suppose I ought to say I feel like Weasley, but let's be honest: I never feel like Weasley.

He seems overwhelmed.

I'm really looking forward to the Protectorate Collection. Seamus and I have a few other ideas for places to go other weeks, too, like Apsley House and the Crofton Roman Villa.

Oh, and Harry, don't forget the Cryptomancy Club voted you vice-president, and meetings will start next Monday. I figure it'll be an introduction to Cryptomancy and how it's different from regular cryptography. We can incorporate more topics as we come to them.

So this is a plan that Draco and I had to get Harry out of Buckingham, because, you know, we figured he wouldn't want to be there much this summer at all, and that doing a bunch of things might be good for him. And anyways, if he's seen to be in charge of a lot of things, that might make it easier on him with his Father and all.

Hermione, I've talked to Draco, and he's said that it'd be up to Harry whether you came along or not. I think he was worried about Harry's treating you as he ought in public, but you can sort out what you'd prefer and think would be best.

It really is something you all could join in on, if you write ahead, of course, so maybe this could be a bit like what I was talking about earlier with Justin, you know, a chance to get to know people a bit better.

Draco and Harry,

Thanks for organising everything. Remy and I have decided we'd quite like to come along, at least to the Heath, the theatre and the Protectorate Collection. And likely the Antiquities as well, what?

I say, jolly kind of you.

Right. You missed out the first meeting of the Freedom Day Jr Planning Committee, but that's my fault for not sending the details to you.

Harry, you're honorary chair, since it's your celebration, but that's really an advisory position. We'd like you to come along for meetings, but we don't expect you to hang bunting or solicit corporate donations unless you want to do.

I'm Coordinator. Anyone who wants to show their proper enthusiasm for the Protector and for Our Lord's realm, let me know, or come along to the first meeting Tuesday at half-eleven by the New Arch in Green Park. We'll have luncheon after. (Executive committee: meet by the kiosk aside the Arch at half-ten. That all right with you, Harry?)

And, Harry. Put me down for shrimps on Friday, for Saturday's Culinary expedition (let's hope New London Burmese merits appreciation), and I've told Daphs I'm in for the theatre. I'll certainly be along for the Protector's Collection, but to be honest, I think I'll give the curiosities a pass. I hear Sarah Yaxley's opening a new show, though--same subject, really, as that Muggle collection, but a more nuanced way of viewing the matter. And less chance of catching something.

Oh, and Patil. Where are you holding the Cryptomancy meetings? And what time?

[alt_ron]

Thanks, Malfoy. And Harry, yeah, I'll come along for lunch on Hampstead Heath. I'd have the chicken, I guess. And the Ghost thinger sounds interesting, doesn't it? I'd like to do that if it's not when we're on our New London week with the YPL 3rds.

When's the Protector's Collection trip? I might go along to that, too, I guess. Depends on.

And I could do something for the Freedom Day, so, Zabini can put me down for that.

I was thinking we should have a distance flying club for people who like that sort of thing. Could do some agility drills, too. No one would have to be invited, it'd just be if you wanted to come along. I'll let you know when we're going to do the first one, yeah?
