Honours for the Fat Friar

[alt_mcgonagall]

Students, you should be aware that at the Halloween Feast on Saturday, we shall play host to a delegation from the Ministry of Magic, at Hogwarts to present the Fat Friar with special honours. These represent his extreme devotion to the ideals of the Protectorate, which as you know culminated in his martyrdom at the hands of Muggles and their kin.

These honours represent the first in a series of awards to be given to prominent members of the spectral community who, each in their own way, have represented the Protectorate's ideals throughout the ages. Hogwarts is grateful to have the opportunity to host this marvelous event.

Order Only

The Fat Friar? That silly sot? And he's meant to have somehow presciently known--in the sixteenth century!-- that there would one day be a Protectorate with ideals to uphold?

Nonsense..

D'you know, I feel bad for Nick. Looks like his own celebrations are going to, ahem, pale in comparison.

I'm afraid that Sir Nicholas's special day has been thoroughly upstaged. I understand that he's quite beside himself at the moment. Professor Lockhart was in here this afternoon with one of his first years who'd got frostbite while sitting in their common room. Apparently Nick's up the tower, freezing them all out of the dormitories.

I feel certain that by tomorrow, Professor Lockhart will have a new heroic exploit to boast of.

Professor, will the Lord Protector be coming again?

[alt_mcgonagall]

No, he will not. However, a senior Ministry official will be in attendance.

Thank you, Proofessor.

I should think not, Mr. Macmillan.
