Challenge: The Great Hall - Welcoming Feast

Note: this is yet another Motherless Child drabble series, set about two months after Snape and Lupin have adopted their werewolf son, John.


Letter received by Deputy Headmaster Severus Snape from Fifth-Year Prefect Parthenope Goyle and several other students, July 2004:

Dear Professor Snape,

We, the undersigned, have great concerns about the health and appropriateness of the food provided at the Welcoming Feast in September. There is nothing quite like assembling again in the Great Hall each year, but the predominance of red meat, crisps, biscuits, and cakes makes it difficult for anyone to maintain a healthy diet.

We would humbly request that the following be added to the menu:

Pulses
Green vegetables
Soy milk
Brown rice
Salad bar
Fresh fruit
Wheat grass….
