Plot post all in the 90s
Muggle News: Wednesday is “Black Wednesday” - the UK government is forced to withdraw the pound sterling from the European Exchange Rate Mechanism (ERM) due to depreciation of the value of the pound. This undermines British credibility in Europe as well as Conservative (Tory) credibility with the British public.
On Saturday 8th, Harry is woken at the crack of dawn by Oliver Wood for Quidditch practice, but as soon as the Gryffindors get out on the pitch, the Slytherin team shows up with special dispensation to use the field from Snape because they have a new Seeker to train - Draco Malfoy, whose father bought the whole Slytherin team Nimbus Two-thousand One brooms. Hermione insults Draco by saying that his father bought his way onto the team, Draco calls her a Mudblood, Ron tries to hex Draco with a broken wand and starts to vomit slugs. The trio go to Hagrid who gives them a pot for Ron to vomit into. There’s no need to explain what a mudblood is because Harry already knows.
Also on Saturday, Ginny is possessed by Tom Riddle’s diary and opens the Chamber of Secrets.
On Saturday evening, Harry and Ron get detention for the flying car business - Ron polishing the silver in the Trophy Room with Filch, and Harry scouring burnt-on potions from school cauldrons for Snape. Whilst there he hears a voice, seemingly out of nowhere, all “let me rip you, let me kill you” and fun stuff. Harry knows it’s the basilisk and so doesn’t mention it to Snape.
Tuesday 12th is the full moon.

Nothing happens of note.
