Oh, congratulations! That's wonderful! I would suggest lunch, but I tend to work over my lunch break... perhaps drinks at the Leaky sometime next week? I believe Thursday might just work...
I would love for you to let me know how it goes, of course! He's dreadfully knowledgeable about all things wand-related, but the poor thing has no self-esteem whatsoever. But you should feel free to tell him that I fully vouch for his abilities because I couldn't agree more-- a course on wands would be fascinating for them!
I completely agree with you about the Beastiery, of course; it would make for convenient access whenever the subject of magical creatures was brought up, and perhaps the owner would be willing to host a sort of workshop? I also feel that with some restoration, cleaning, and extension charms, any building would suit our purposes particularly well.
Well of course it's professional, Luna, because that's what you are! You're a professional! And you should take all the credit for that. You made all this happen! I'm simply looking to help pull some strings and call in some favors-- I should hardly be thanked just for having a couple of conversations; no, you're the real hero of this project-- though I will say that I am extremely excited about it and the potential behind it!
