Your intrepid mods (vane_nt, kellychambliss, and thamy) have been at Hogwarts this past week to make sure everything is set for the minerva_fest. While searching for an unmoving staircase, we overheard an interesting conversation. Luckily, one of us happened to have a Quick Quotes Quill with her, so we were able to transcribe everything verbatim.
We've posted the results below. In true Hogwarts tradition, you can consider it your Start-of-Fest Feast.
