Hogwarts Dawn

So since we have only 2 nominations for minister at the moment and we're doing nothing about an election, I have questions for everyone but especially those who want to be Minister:

1) Are we still thinking of subjecting CHILDREN to the castle by bringing them here?

My opinion: I'll do anything in my power so that they aren't here. It's abuse to bring people who are free to this castle and I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy let alone kids.

2) Should we stay at Hogwarts or leave?

My opinion: At this point, I feel that we have enough that we can go to Hogsmeade or Diagon Alley. Take everything we took for there and bring it back. We can have stipends out of the ministry account and then people can decide to stay or leave.

What a week right? Anyway thanks to Padma and her team to make sure we don't go on fire, we have our journals back. I didn't think they would come this useful.

Anyway, we've decided that we all need a break and on Friday night, we'll be Apparating to Diagon Alley and then walking into London and finding a restaurant. I can't tell you what's around the Leaky anymore or what kind of cuisine, but we'll try to find something that can accommodate us all. We'll be working with Scorpius and magazines to transfigure clothes into Muggle clothes.

This isn't mandatory, but please let me know how many are interested so we have an idea. Also this is a little experiment to see that nothing bad happens if we leave all together. It's also a little test run for more Muggle excursions.

Starting next Monday at 10 after the Heads meeting, we'll have muggle training, trying to learn as much as we can about Muggles. The hope is that we'll be able to move a little more freely.

Also starting tomorrow, Lucius will have Treasury and Commerce, while Kirley and Myron will work for DAMN (blame Parvati for this.)

So want to look with me for clues in Diagon Alley? Unless you're busy.

Good news on the Greenhouses front! Well, at least in Greenhouse Three.

First off, the Mandrakes are coming along beautifully, and will need to be moved to bigger pots soon. Second, for anyone looking for Bobotuber pus, we should have some ready within the week. Also, the Bouncing Bulbs might need to be moved, as they're upsetting the already touchy Mandrakes.

Third, the Flutterby Moths have returned to the Evergreen Environment. This is an excellent sign, considering how useful they and the slugs can be for future plants.

Anyway, I'll be working on cleaning up some of the overgrowth and making sure there are clear markers for each of the identified flora. If anyone would like to help, please feel free.
