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.

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.)

Perfect.
