Who: Penelope Clearwater & Oliver Wood.
When: Saturday early evening.
Where: Oliver's flat in London.
What: Penny visits Oliver to collect the biscuits he promised and to see the gigantic basket of porn.
Rating: TBD, probably not anything more than PG-13 for language.
Open/Closed: Closed.
Excited by the prospect of baked goods to make up for Oliver accusing her of sending him gobs of porn the following evening, Penelope wasted very little time getting herself ready to floo over to her good friend's flat. Her morning, like every other, started early at around seven a.m. The first part of the day involved cleaning up from the week past and doing a bit of relaxing.
When Oliver responded to her journal entry regarding Dumbledore's retirement and mentioned that he was baking, Penelope could hardly resist asking to pay him a visit. Mostly because he was baking but also she was slightly curious to see the size of the basket of porn...if he still had it. She wasn't sure if Oliver had managed to pawn it off on someone else the previous evening or not.
It only took ten minutes for Penny to change into clothes that weren't marked with cleaning solution and grease stains and to brush out her hair, which had been put in a messy bun for the majority of the morning. Once she felt she looked good enough to be in public (even if the public in question was only Oliver), Penny stepped into her small fireplace and a minute later found herself emerging into a very familiar sitting room. |

Dumbledore Retires, Hogwarts Makes Changes
Betty Braithwaite
In a move which will no doubt shock many in the Wizarding world, Albus Dumbledore, a Hogwarts fixture for nearly sixty years, announced this morning his immediate retirement from the post of Hogwarts Headmaster. Effective immediately, Hogwarts Deputy Headmistress Minerva McGonagall will be taking over the title of Headmistress. Dumbledore announced his plans to remain at Hogwarts throughout the year to ease the transition and offer his advice and aid to the new Headmistress.
Dumbledore also resigned his positions as Supreme Mugwump of the International Confederation of Wizards and Chief Warlock of the Wizengamot, where his successor has yet to be named. He cites the return of He Who Must Not Be Named, and a desire to devote more time to knitting and Gobstones as his reason for choosing to retire. Sources close to Hogwarts, however, claim that Albus' health is in question. In fact, this morning's announcement comes amid a flurry of rumors that Dumbledore has been suffering from an as of yet unexplained illness which is leaving the Order of Merlin, First Class recipient and Grand Sorcerer unable to continue in his leadership role.
The Daily Prophet has long stood among the first to bring to light Dumbledore's increasingly erratic behavior and dubious mental state, and applaud him for taking what has long seemed to us to be a necessary step in the continued betterment of the educational standards at Hogwarts.
( Dumbledore is most famous for his defeat of the dark wizard, Grindelwald. ) |
