Sadie
Okay ig

Albeh
All right! Welcome! Common Room Mates! Could be useful?

Sadie
Sheila and I also share a dorm w them

Albeh
Ooh

Eugene
And I am in like 99% of their extra-curriculars

Eugene
AND I know Mel’s closest friend from her old school

Eugene
Nadia

Albeh
Good to know!

Albeh
Now, onto our main Point Of Business

Albeh
Hogsmeade Weekend Date™

Albeh
The plan is as follows

Albeh
Lily and Mel go to The Three Broomsticks, expecting to meet someone there. No one shows up. They shrug, and order some food. This next bit is important. Something must prompt them to leave The Three Broomsticks and take a walk. Someone directs them to the only place left to eat: the brand new, less corny, Madam Puddifoot’s.

Albeh
From there they either go to MP’s, or take a scenic, romantic walk around Hogsmeade.

Hugeh
Maybe a couple wants to sit at the last place in The Three Broomsticks, and so Lily and Mel give up their seats.

Albeh
YES! That’s the spirit.

Scorpeh
How will we ensure that it’ll be the last spot though?

Albeh
Someone spread the word that I’ll be there. People will fill up trying to catch a glimpse of you and I.

Sadie
Will that really work?

Albeh
Oh the power of nosiness has never let us down

Sheila
Who’ll make Lily and Mel give up their seats?

Me
It has to be people who haven’t gotten together yet

Me
We pretend it’s their first date. Lily and Mel know how important this can be and leave.

Me
For absolute success, we need people they know well…

Ew
NO

Hugeh
NO

Eugene
I can go with someone?

Sheila
NO

Sheila
THAT MEANS WE NEED TO INVOLVE ARIANA

Luceh
???

Sadie
Ariana and Sheila have a…

Sadie
complicated history

Eugene
I also asked her out today

Sheila
AGAINST MY A D V I C E

Augusteh
Would Lily or Mel know how important this it to you?

Eugene
Maybe?

Sadie
No

Augusteh
So what do we do?

Sadie
I’ll go with Sheila

Sheila
You will what now

Sadie
We share a dorm, they’ll know

Me
If that fails we do have a back-up

Hugeh
NO

Ew
NO

Me
I was thinking we get Augusta and Lucy

Me
But interesting that you two jumped to that conclusion

Luceh
No no no no no

Me
Why not?

Augusteh
I have detention

Me
Oh okay

Luceh
Also we don’t like each other?

Augusteh
Yeah that too

Albeh
No time to dive into any of that! Sadie and Sheila it is.

Hugeh
Okay, Lorcan and I will be there to keep watch

Me
Why you two

Hugeh
Everyone else has plans

Me
What about me?

Me
Did you two forget about me?

Me
Or do you just want to be alone together

Hugeh
NO!

Ew
You also have detention, Lysander

Me
>:(

Me
Fineeeee

Hugeh
Anyone can come, but two people won’t be as conspicuous as like ten

Eugene
It’s okay, the rest of us can sit at The Three Broomsticks

Albeh
I suppose that is it

Albeh
Now, I must go to class

Albeh
And so do all of you
