The party's just wonderful so far. The illusionist was quite amusing. I particularly liked his interpretation of the invention of Apparation. And I had the great luck to be standing by Mr Deller, who provided a bit of context for us about early Hogwarts. He's got quite a talent for storytelling.

Professor Siz, I absolutely love what you've done with Spence. It's just beautiful.

What on earth has got into Teddy?

He's being quiet, polite, friendly, and ... inoffensive.

Huh.

I wish I knew what Mr Malfoy said to him.

Yeah, I haven't seen him around lately.

And what happened in the Palm room? Whatever it is, Ptolemy Baddock doesn't look happy about it.

It really looks like a giant mess in there. I couldn't get a good look, because House-elves are cleaning it up, and they didn't want me going in.

Did you know that Siz invited about a dozen Healers? If anyone suddenly gets ill, they won't have to go far to find help.

Maybe I should ask Draco to stay far away from them? Because they might notice Padma.

Siz introduced me to two of them, although the one I'm finding most interesting to listen to is Healer Kosta. He's a specialist in Dark Curses and treated both Raz and Professor Dolohov.

Well, the downside is that if Patil goes THAT wobbly, people will realise straight off she's under a potion or spell or some such.

Are you taking notes for Fred and George? This was the 'heart's desire' potion, right, not the love potion? Because I don't think I've ever seen a love potion that resulted in someone clinging to the other person's leg and sobbing, 'I've always loved you.'

Downside: I don't think you need to be a Healer to guess she's under some sort of hex.

Speaking of the Twins, these are excellent fireworks. Do you know if the Twins supplied them?

Thank you so much - and I hope you had an excellent evening.

It's a pleasure to get to use some of that space to its full potential for once. I can really only take much credit for some changes to the library and the addition of the duelling salon. Much of the rest just is letting the good bones of the original house show to their best advantage (very magnificent and showy bones, mind.)

Perhaps sometime I can show you more of the details - there's a room we closed off for the party that's one of my favourites, for example. I admit I spend most of my time when we're at Spence there, if I'm not in our private rooms, the library, or sometimes the kitchen.

I'm also delighted you enjoyed Sulo Blandis's work. I particularly liked how he dug down to find something other than the same old stories we've all heard dozens of times. (Granted, he emigrated a couple of years ago, and I suppose there's a freshness of perspective that comes with that.)

It was fabulous, indeed. I'm very glad we worked out a way to not be too overt about the source - much as I wanted to be, there's a delicate line, you know. And I know Tallie handed out at least a dozen cards to people who were very interested in their work.

Do pass on my compliments to the twins, if you would? As I said to Cedric, I particularly appreciated the house animals being done so thoughtfully. And I thought that one of the quidditch brooms was exceedingly clever too, all of them spinning off and then coming back together.

I'd be delighted to have you.

Really, I think the house does most of the work itself. The light's so gorgeous in some of the rooms, it doesn't take much to set things off gloriously. And even at night, with the lighting charms, the proportions of the rooms frame things so well.

Some of the work for finding the furniture for the party - we needed to replace some things for more comfortable seating, really - is very much the work of a couple of people I consulted. I'll send the names and details round, if you like.
