My dear students, this week is a traditional Indian festival, Diwali. It is celebrated to mark the victory of light over darkness, knowledge over ignorance, and -- among Indian wizards -- pure wizarding blood over the blood of muggles and animals.

Naturally, I do not expect anyone to celebrate with me who does not want to, but on Wednesday evening there will be a special dinner that I've arranged with the house-elves, followed by a celebration at the lake, and all who are interested or curious will be welcome to join me.

I've been thinking I'd like to organise some sort of regular get-together for those of us at Hogwarts who are on the Council -- including the young ones. I could arrange for a hamper of treats, something a bit more luxurious than one would ordinarily run across, and invite everyone for tea on alternate Sunday mornings, or maybe monthly. Do you think you'd have time?

Yes, of course. I had been thinking along those lines myself, in fact! Tea sounds lovely. We can use my office if you'd like, or -- no, your quarters or mine would be more suited; better to take things firmly out of the realm of professors and students. But a chance for the children to get more comfortable would be an excellent idea.

And, in case I do not remember to say on Wednesday -- may your festival be filled with joy and prosperity, and may the Creator rain down blessings upon you and yours.

Why thank you, my dear. May you be blessed in the coming year with success, prosperity, and happiness.

Let's use either your quarters or mine, to encourage the children to begin to think of us as colleagues, rather than professors. We could even alternate. I'll host the first time.

It's a deal. Alternate Sundays? If we plan things for early enough, it ought not conflict with my preparations for the Sunday lectures -- I have, after all, set matters up so that they need minimal involvement from me, for the most part. (Mr Weasley's dragon aside.)
