Finally, Hogsmeade weekend coming up, and I jut can't wait!

Then best day ever! Then Hallowe'en!

So. Excited!

[Private Zach]
Darling, any plans for Hogsmeade?

[Private: Girl friends]
Shopping on Saturday? Then drinks in the Three Broomsticks?

This sort of thing makes me really glad that I don't have kids, and that if I do they'll be pure.

It's awful, and okay that's mean, but still.

Poor kids though, I mean it's one thing for adults, and those who are fighting themselves. The kidnapping
I dunno. I can't see daddy promoting such measures.

That sounds perfect. We can use some of the younger years to help with the grunt work whilst the place is made pretty. Brilliant, just let me know when it's been approved.

Yes, I think that'll do. Maybe some fancier words, but I'm sure it'll sound more suitable, than we just want to dance. I know! I'm, just we can make a list of all the holidays for which we should have parties, and we can make them official!

I'll bring it up next time I see her, assuming's probably not the best idea. Of course, we have most of the month, and we can worry about who to invite later.

Great stuff. I'll keep you in the loop.

You know, even the dancing can be dressed up to sound beneficial. It's exercise, etc etc. There aren't many opportunities at Hogwarts for physical activity unless you play Quidditch, etc etc. And that's a good idea. We could even have some random theme events, just because, to make them sound educational. Theme a party after a country as an excuse to serve nice food, and so on.

Yes, true. At least the idea's in the air now, and that way we can refine it as we go along. Hogsmeade might even be a good source of inspiration.

	That's very true. I'm sure some could really benefit from more exercise, and dancing is perfect for that. I quite like that idea! We should do an interntional night, every month or more, have an Italy night, France. Maybe even a history night. The fun, dressy bit not the boring bits. Yes! Hogsmeade will be perfect inspiration.

	I'm not even kidding, Josie, we are actual geniuses. When we leave Hogwarts they should put up statues to us in the Entrance Hall, or something. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	We so are! Yes, they should, we'd be loads better looking than what they have now, and really it would benefit the school! Our amazingness aside, I think it's be fan! Oh I so desperately want to have a costume party now! Imagine Greek goddesses or Tudor princesses. What fun! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	It almost makes me want to go into event planning once I leave school, you know. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	You know, I was thinking the very same last summer. It would be such a fantastic career choice! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	People don't realise that it's actually rather difficult, do they? I mean, it's not just about parties. Mother does her own organisation for Father's business meetings and fancy dinners at home, and it takes her ages. You need a good brain for problem solving and organisation!

No, of course they don't. They just think it's so very easy to coordinate everything, find the right venues, decoration, style. You have to have much more than an eye and know loads if people. So complicated. Even worse in the common room, was such a nightmare trying to get everything organised for the Slytherin birthday month last year. The parties are the most fun, of course, but there are conferences, and other things that need planning as well.

And as if important people like the Ministry high-ups are going to have the time to do it themselves! They have other things to do, like running the country.

Honestly, I'm amazed no-one's thought of a high-profile event business before. You'd need chefs, seamstresses, cleaners and musicians to get hold of, as well as dogsbodies to do the grunt work. It's a great idea, all those people who could be employed by the same place! There's something very neat about the idea, too.

Of course they haven't! Even those press conferences have to be organised properly, though I suppose that falls onto some of the lower staff.

As am I. I know we're a small community but there are so many galas, events and top-level events each year, that you'd think someone would be prepared to manage those sort of situations. You're right! Having the network would be fantastic, and would give all of those people who usually have just the one-off or occasional events a more constant stream of work. Plus, I bet the top caterers,chefs would be delighted by the press!

	Yes, I would image it's co-ordinated by the Minister's office and the Prophet, or something. But if there were to be meet and greet sort of events, that could be different. Especially at campaigning time now we're having elections for the post! It's all sounding more and more like a good idea the more I think on it, you know... (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	It likely is, but yes the lengthier events, and I imagine some of the visiting dignitary events require more elaborate planning. Oh! I bet the campaigns will be big deals! Of course it does. It's a fantastic idea. (Reply to this) (Parent)
