Journal: Alicia Spinnet
It’s that time of the year again: back to school. Quite a few of you helped out with the trips to Diagon Alley to get some of the Foundation’s kids ready to go, and for that we are truly grateful. Now we’re asking for your help and support again, this time with helping a handful of students (and in some cases, their families as well) getting safely on-board the Hogwarts Express:

1 first year students and their family is spending the weekend in London, have requested assistance at the train station.
4 students (second year and up) are without transportation to King’s Cross for various reasons. Portkey and Floo access will be provided.

If you can and if you are interested in helping out, please contact me and I will pair you up with a student as well as fill you in on the hows and whys.

Private to those with children: During a talk with Dominic Chambers (the handyman at Finnigan’s) talk fell on the possibility of Transfiguring The Roost into something other than a bar setting and that maybe this could be used for playdates. This would be fun for the kids, it would give us parents a chance to get together while giving the children a new experience and it will give Dominic material for his portfolio.

Would any of you be interested in this? Maybe once or twice (or more) a month?

	Hi Alicia, I'll double check my shifts with Seamus, but I'd be happy to help in either scenario, although perhaps the older students might be a better idea. (Reply to this) (Thread)

Oh, you're a dear! It will only be a matter of a couple of hours at most (more likely less), but it would make a great difference.

Private to Dean: I have a 5th year boy, sweet as the day is long. Lives with his great-grandmother in Porthmadog, Wales, so it would be Apparation to get there (or Portkey, if you'd rather), Portkey to Holyhead and then Floo to London.

	It looks like I'm not working anyway, so it's not a problem and he sounds great. I'm happy to help. I'll make myself a note for Monday. No need for a Portkey there, I'm happy to Apparate. And flooing has got to be better than getting across the Underground with my school trunk was! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	As much as I adore you, you know you can't rope me into helping with the Express. However, anything else you need, you know I'm here. See you in a bit for our flight. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Private to Alicia/Adrian _alicia_ 2014-08-27 09:23 pm UTC (link)
	You know I can rope you into doing anything, but I know not to take advantage of it. See you real soon, and if they have any of the breakfast danishes with fresh fruit, I might just cherish you a little more. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	This would be an excellent idea, and I would gladly bring Lucy to such a gathering on the days that she is with me. Thank you, Alicia, for suggesting and arranging for this. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Private to those with children _alicia_ 2014-08-27 09:29 pm UTC (link)
	Sounds good, Percy, and I will get back to you when I know more. Credit has to be given where it's due, though, and this all sprang from Dominic's idea. Are there any weekdays that are better for you than others? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Private to those with children abidingpercy 2014-08-31 12:08 am UTC (link)
	Then extend my felicitations to Dominic as well. None in particular. My arrangement with Lucy's mother means that there are no specific days of the week when she is at mine - four days in a row at each before switching. It would probably work best if you schedule according to others' schedules and Lucy and I will be there when our schedules match. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Excellent! Thank you, Harry. Private to Harry: Melissa Peters (Muggleborn mother disappeared during the war) is staying with her father Gary Rutherford, her stepmother Anna and half-brother Benjamin are staying at the Rhodes House Hotel by Hyde Park. They're visiting from Newcastle and have been in London since Saturday. All of the Rutherfords are Muggles. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Should I stop by and introduce myself beforehand do you think? Will they want the traditional Kings Cross arrival? I'll bow to your expertise here. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I just talked to Andromeda, and we're both interested in bringing Teddy. With both of us on board, we should be able to make it whenever it's scheduled. This is a great idea Alicia. Thanks. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Private to those with children _alicia_ 2014-08-27 09:47 pm UTC (link)
	That's great to hear, and I've noted down both you and Andromeda. Thank Dominic, it really was his idea, and it all came about watching people playing in the sand for Dean's birthday. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Georgie, I knew I could count on you! Private to George: 3rd year girl from St. Ives? The kid has a wicked sense of humour. I think you'd like her. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Ward dark_blaise 2014-08-28 02:31 pm UTC (link)
	I don't. I shouldn't be able to see anything about playdates. Though I find it interesting that you want to do them in the same area Weasley wants to set up a regular weekend party suite. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	The train still leaves at eleven, right? I could let someone else open up, just this once. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	_alicia_ 2014-08-28 12:56 pm UTC (link)
	Yes, it still leaves at eleven. Private to Seamus: It'd be really great if you could, because I actually think you may like this kid: 4th year boy, a right chatterbox from just outside Sligo. Lives with his Muggle (much) older half-brother. (Reply to this) (Parent)

That would be lovely, Dominic, and we can use all the help we can get. However, I think I've found escorts for all 5 students at this point, BUT... I would like to keep you as back-up in case anyone has to cancel. I would do it myself, but it's Isla and Liam's first day at school, so I'll be meeting everyone there instead so as not to just leave everybody hanging.

Private to Dominic: Or you could talk to Seamus. He said something about getting someone else to open the pub so he could lend a hand.
