Title: Donation of the Relics, IV
Challenge: 400
Word Count: 100
"Participating in the celebration" meant memorizing a 400 year old "acceptance speech" that was heavy on thees and thous, gratitude for the reign of "Elizabeth the Glorious," and talk about the miracles of Simon Magus. It was all very disturbing, especially the references to miracles, and Severus wondered if most of Wizarding Britain had been secretly Catholic.
Regardless, he had to memorize it, wear an exact copy of the standard Hogwarts teaching garb in the 16th century, and listen to the same "sermon of gratitude" the then-rector of St. Simon Magus had preached.
At least the ceremony concluded with alcohol.
