Week 36 - Timeline and Daily Prophet
Week 036: Commencement
Sunday, June 25th, 2006 - Saturday, July 1st, 2006
The previous week’s exams were met with several different emotions. There were the few that were thrilled, simply because all the studying in the world couldn’t have helped them pass. There were the few who were simply relieved exams were over, not really caring what was or wasn’t on them. Perhaps most popular, however, was the opinion that something went horribly, horribly wrong.
The Professors at Hogwarts have been at a loss, unable to provide the explanation that is demanded by the student population. They, like everyone else, have absolutely no idea what went wrong with the tests. The ministry has sent word that it will be stepping in, though, and doesn’t sound too pleased with Hogwarts, or its students.
The Headmaster has stepped in, in an attempt to make the end of the year at least SOMEWHAT enjoyable. At dinner on Sunday, he announced a ball would be held that Wednesday. He dubbed it the “Year’s End Ball,” but the students like to refer to it as the, “Bloody-Lucky-and-Miraculous-We-All-Sodding-Survived-This-Year-From-Hell Ball.”
Even some Professors may agree that title is MUCH more fitting.
Some students may be wondering what to do about dress robes, as they certainly aren’t allowed to venture into Hogsmeade. Dumbledore immediately addressed that concern, happy he got to speak up before the terrified whines of Tatiana Winters and Hargreaves Beckett, announcing that representatives from every one of Hogsmeade’s Dress Shops would bring their stock to the Great Hall on Monday and Tuesday, giving the students time to pick and buy their outfits for the dance.
Also announced was the annual end-of-year feast, during which the students may bid farewell to those seventh years who are leaving. That is to be held on Friday, before the Hogwarts Express leaves Saturday at noon.
The school is certainly trying to get things back to normal- will it work?
