Clarification
Oct. 20th, 2008 08:37 pmThe feast and its attendant joys does not, in fact, occur on Saturday, the Hogsmeade day. It occurs on Friday.
It required Professor Acton to point this out to me. I am, firstly, horrified by my absent-mindedness, and secondly, horrified by the fact that professors shall have to deal with various mischief-making urchins throughout Our Lord's visit.
The revised schedule is as follows:
1.00 PM: Lord Protector arrives. Meeting in the Headmistress' office.
2.00 PM: Tour of the grounds for the Lord Protector and Harry Marvolo, culminating in a light tea.
4.00 PM: Press opportunity.
5.00 PM: Wine-and-cheese reception for the Lord Protector. Amycus and Alecto Carrow excluded for purposes of keeping order in the castle.
6.30 PM: Feast begins.
7.30 PM: Toasts. Reporters
8.00 PM: Students excused; press opportunity.
9.00 PM: Lord Protector leaves.
Fortunately, Harry Marvolo has Friday afternoons off in any case, so no further modification will be required.
