Diwali

[alt_savitha]

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.

Private message to Ron Weasley

I'm not sure if you could tell this from Professor Sandoval-Pennifold's comments, but you rather thoroughly impressed her, I think. I appreciate you doing me credit this evening, my dear.

I'll ensure you have the opportunity to duel with her again. In the meantime, let's see if we can arrange the time for a little private tutoring. Perhaps you can surprise her.

Do you rea Thanks, Professor. For saying so.

I definitely have things I want to work on after tonight. It was interesting some of the combinations she used... I sparred with her once over the summer, but I don't think she took it very seriously that time. This was different.

I'd like to surprise her.

And not just her.

Excellent. I'll check my calendar for next week.
