If you are not spending this evening celebrating the lifesaving work of St Mungo's hospital, you are not only forsaking your duty to support this most necessary institution, you are missing a simply splendid party. This year's committee has surpassed all previous efforts!

The Serengeti theme in the buffet is so realistic, I wondered if we'd be expected to hunt our own game in order to eat! And the oceanscape in the witches' lounge is marvelous. Ned reports the wizard's facilities are done up as an owlery!

And the ballroom is a masterpiece! It certainly puts last year's to shame. The lights and the music--The Ocelots are simply the sharpest band of the year, and to think they agreed to donate their set!

And so many enchanting costumes!

I Solemnly Swear That I Am Up To No Good

Someday we're going to free everyone in the Protectorate from tyranny. Everyone, not just a bunch of women who've been locked up and raped and forced to bear babies that can be murdered. All the muggles from camps and all the muggleborns from slavery and people will be able to read whatever books they like and criticise the government and anyone who wants to leave will be able to and the Sleepers will all wake up.

And we'll try you for war crimes (that's what it's called, yeah? war crimes are things that YOU think are legal but are so horrifying and atrocious that once your repulsive group leaves power the rest of us get to charge you with crimes for).

And you'll probably expect to be fed to Dementors. But even though you think you're incredibly important and the world basically revolves around you, you probably won't even be sent to Azkaban for life. We'll send you there for, oh, ten years. Maybe twenty. And then we'll let you out but you won't be allowed to own a wand. And you'll be considered a disgrace to your family and they'll all pretend they don't have any idea how you went so utterly wrong.

You're a terrible person but you're a petty sort of terrible person, you WISH you were Bellatrix Lestrange but you never will be.

I like that idea, a lot, her not being allowed to own a wand. There are worse punishments for her that I can imagine, but that's about the best. Which would make it the worst for her. If that makes sense.

Sounds brilliant! (Totally forsaking my duty here, sorry. Maybe next year? I'd need a proper date, which always seems to require a bit too much planning.)

I just didn't even think about it until it was too late! Shame, because it really does sound amazing.

I'm not at the office now but I'm on call. I've actually worked the night of the gala for three years in a row now so I'd say I'm due a night off if you remind me next year in time to buy tickets!

Does anyone have a truly dreadful costume?

I don't precisely know him but I've definitely seen him (he's hard to miss) and a MAYPOLE? Are you serious? A Maypole.

Did he bring a troupe of children to dance around him with ribbons?
