From the Ashes

[letters sent to each staff member, excepting, of course, the Headmaster]

Treasured coworker,
As the end of our first week approaches, I know we're all feeling pleasantly surprised, though possibly a bit overwhelmed, by the dozens of precious and precocious students we now find in our care. I thought to organize a casual sort of get together to mingle and discuss our progress and plans for future enlightening of young minds. Snacks and strong spirits light cocktails will be served.

When Friday, 11:00p.m., after our charges are safely tucked away in bed
Where The Muggle Pool Paradise Ballroom

Attendance and, considering the location, attire are optional. RSVP either by owl or in person.

Sincerely,
P.L.K. Wentz III

What (who the hell thought teaching was a good idea?)



Jon was having serious, serious thoughts about this whole 'teaching' business. He also wanted some more coffee, but it was far away on the opposite counter and he really couldn't be bothered to lift his head from the table, much less a wand.

Seriously, he hadn't been near that bad at 13, had he?
