Private: Alicia/Richard
Ah, yeah. Well, we really need to get you back onto the social scene, because yours truly is so out of the loop when it comes to gossip, even the good gossip. But to answer your initial question - because it really isn't a secret. Do you remember Adrian Pucey? Our year, Chaser, Slytherin, grouch extraordinaire, runs his own little private business as a Potions Master? You'll like him; he's a Falcon's man as well.
I'm springing for lunch if you were one of those hats!
FIFTEEN THOUSAND!!?! A good year, indeed! Do you have any idea what we can do with that much money? I'm tempted to write words here that I'd never say unless something horrible had happened, though apparently in this case too. Richard, thank you so much. You really shouldn't be anonymous about this.
