not going down on Friday Who: Remus Lupin + Ginny Potter + Anyone in the Wizarding House! Or guests of the Wizarding House? When:this Friday night, after Lily left the houseto dance on tabletops, take too many shots, kiss but forget... Where: The Wizarding House (basically that one with Lily, Sirius and Ginny) What: Remus is not going down on Friday is a little under the weather on a Friday night so he's being an unhappy homebody.
