Happy Almost New-Years!

[alt_daphne]

And since I'm sure that we'll all be very busy celebrating tomorrow and the following day, I wanted to announce that the cast of the Revue will be meeting in New London on Wednesday, 2nd January, at 1:00 pm. I've arranged for a private room at Featurette, a cafe in Piccadilly Circus. Please bring your scripts along with you, as we'll be discussing our parts, as well as arranging the rehearsal schedule for when we're back at Hogwarts.

Please let me know here if you will be able to make it, so I can put in our order for tea ahead of time.

And again, Happy New Year!

Hullo, Daphne,

I say, that sounds splendid. Remy and shall both be happy to attend.

You and Zabini seemed to be enjoying yourselves, last night. It was quite a smashing fête, what? Too bad Zabini wasn't able to out-bid that young gentleman on the ankh that captured his interest. (I say, there seems to be rather a surge of interest in things Egyptian, isn't there?) There were a number of items that looked well intriguing but--not for the sorts of bids they were hoping to receive, even if it were in the best of causes.

Have your holidays been going well?

Thank you again for organising the get-together. I'm sure we shall all be quite pleased to get ahead of things before the term begins.

-Justin

Hello, Justin,

Egyptian and Persian themes do seem to cycle in trendiness, it's true. Why, just a few years back, (before you were here), I organised an Egyptian-themed birthday celebration for Blaise. I hadn't expected the culture to be popular quite so soon since then, but the people and their interests have spoken.

My holidays have kept me very occupied, to be honest. But I can't say I've ever been one to enjoy idleness - I find that a full schedule agrees with me.

I'm happy to hear that you and Remy will be able to make it, and I certainly hope that Hydra shall be able to attend as well!

Private Message to Daphs

Could I put my name in for tea? If you'd rather keep it to just the cast, perhaps you and I can meet later and chat more about the arrangements I've sorted out so far.

Re: Private Message to Daphs

[alt_daphne]

Of course you may! I had rather thought you might want to accompany Draco, anyway. Only I do hope that Linus Moon doesn't insist on an invitation. He means well and some of his historical research has been quite helpful, but he can also be a tad over-bearing, and I'd prefer to keep Wednesday's discussion focused on the script and rehearsal schedule. If it's not too late by the time we've finished, we can discuss the music.

Re: Private Message to Daphs

[alt_pansy]

I'll tell you what... If Moon does show, I'll sit with him in the corner and let him talk my ear off.

Re: Private Message to Daphs

[alt_daphne]

What a good friend you are! I should feel quite guilty about subjecting you to that, but... I'm not sure that I do, entirely. After all, I experienced it often enough before hols and feel it's high time it were someone else's turn!

Private Message to Daphne Greengrass

[alt_ron]

Um. I thought I should check. I mean, am I really meant to be playing the lead part? Or were people just having a laugh when they said that?

Because I haven't got a script, and it sounds like I should have if I'd really got a part, yeah?

Re: Private Message to Daphne Greengrass

[alt_daphne]

Yes, you were cast as the lead. Well, the male lead. I'm the female lead.

I wasn't sure if you knew - that is, you left school before the cast list was posted. I hope you don't mind that I went through Pansy and Sally Anne to make sure you found out, only you already speak with them quite a lot already and...

Well, I'm very sorry about your Father. Pansy says you'll want to be in the Revue in spite of what's happened. I'm sure everyone will be glad to hear that.

Scripts were supposed to have been sent out to everyone, so I'm not sure why you've not gotten yours. Maybe the owl was waylaid, seeing as you've probably had loads of post lately? At any rate, I can provide you with one on Wednesday, if you decide to meet at Featurette.

Re: Private Message to Daphne Greengrass

[alt_ron]

I'll come Wednesday.

And, yeah. You're right there's been loads of post here. I'll ask Mum if she knows whether it's come. The script, I mean.

And, thanks. For saying that about Dad.

Re: Private Message to Daphne Greengrass

[alt_daphne]

Of course. Only you've probably heard it so many times over the last week or so, you're probably sick of it. But I do mean it, and "my deepest condolences" sounds so artificial, like something from a script, in fact. It's probably just best to say things exactly as you mean them, in situations like this.

I'll put you down for tea, then. I think Pansy will be there too, you'll be happy to know.

[alt_padma]

We'll be there!

The gala was really amazing, wasn't it?

[alt_daphne]

Oh, indeed! And I just adored the robes you were wearing. Were they your Mother's design?

And speaking of, that reminds me that I need to ask Professor Carpenter about costumes. Lizzie and Samantha said that they wanted to help with that end, but they've also got parts to play, as Margaret and Josephine. Hmm, I had better start asking around.

[alt_linus]

Dear Daphne,

I fear I must tender my regrets for the gathering on Wednesday. I do hope you don't mind awfully that I shan't be able to attend, but I'm in the early stages of organising a new research project, and I'm afraid I should be rather distracted. In any case, surely you have enough to go on by now, in the way of supporting information on the historical periods your Revue dips into, yes? Should you need any further research, of course I would do my best to accommodate, but between this new project and the ongoing detentions, I'm rather afraid I'm likely to be a bit squeezed for time for a while. Well, for the entirety of the upcoming term, quite frankly. Please accept my apologies for any inconveniences this may present, and as always, my gratitude for your understanding and graciousness. It has been a pleasure to work with you on this, and I am certain the Revue will be a great ornament to Hogwarts and a star in the firmament of your own CV.

Yours sincerely,
Linus Moon

[alt_daphne]

Dear Linus,

I think it's safe to say that you've already surpassed expectations as our historical researcher. Certainly, should anything come up you will be the first person I ask, but I think we are well-prepared to portray the various eras that the Revue encompasses. Best of luck on your new project!

Sincerely,
DGG

[alt_lavender]

I should hate to miss it! I'll look forward to seeing you there.

[alt_daphne]

Wonderful! I'll put you down for tea.

[alt_susan]

I'm so sorry I can't make it, but I really am very excited about playing Agnes!
