((Sorry, hon, but me and my muns are going to be busy dragging an Italian all over Southcentral Alaska until the 21st. Otherwise, they'd be all too happy to help.))
((Ah! The infamous Italian. No worries, Lily will shuffle on without Dawn and Death. Do you want to reply with an IC-reason or would you rather I just took down the owls/comments? Either works for me.
And *nudgenudgewinkwink*. I expect details, hon!))

Brilliant! I've owled Sirius to be in charge of drinks and Remus to oversee the music. Methos will help me with decorations - I read about some interesting charms that I've been wanting to try out. You can help with those as well. It will provide an excellent opportunity to work on your wand technique.
How about food - we can decide on what we'd like the House Elves to make? I've already gone down to the kitchens and they're agreeable to any requests we might have.

Lily,
There are going to be non-alcoholic drinks at the party, right? Not that it matters, I learned a useful trick in college to bring your own drink if you think the beverages won't be sealed before. I intend to enjoy the party sober.
Food sounds great, do we want to go with a theme or just make certain we have enough variety to appeal to everyone? I'm excited to try learning technique in a fun situation, it seems easier to be able to focus that way.
I need an outfit. [here is warded and hexed SO VERY heavily] Something that will be... well, you can fill in the blanks. And I can't go buy one. Ideas?[/ward/hex]

I've reiterated to Sirius how important it is that he not just bring three kegs and a bong. Hopefully, he'll listen. If not...well, we were going to work on hexes, right?
Variety is probably best here. Merlin knows I don't think that all of the students are even human, so I figured we'd just make a list of things to request and then let the House Elves take over. They know what people eat, after all.
Come over to my room later on, bring anything you have that's even close to a party outfit, and I'll teach you a handy spell.
I'd be happy to DJ for a party. I do have to warn you that once in my wanton youth, I was supposed to be DJing, drank too much, and ended up playing "Kung Fu Fighting" twenty-four times in a row before I was forcibly ousted from the turntables. I'll try to take it easy on the booze this time.
Previous parties here have been surprisingly trouble-free, but keeping an eye out can never hurt.
"Kung Fu Fighting"? And here I thought you were the sensible one. Everyone knows that if you're going to get smashed and play a song over and over it should be something by Jimi Hendrix.
I've asked Sirius to take care of the drinks and have specifically requested something non-alcoholic as I never plan on drinking anything stronger than butterbeer ever again. Hopefully they'll be something there that you can drink without subjecting us all to Carl Douglas.
I appreciate the help, mate. And I'm crossing my fingers for trouble-free. I just keep having this horrible picture of a bunch of drunken wizards thinking it'd be fun to transfigure the castle into a bloody dragon or something. Not that I have any experience at all of the dangers of casting while drunk.
I'm pretty much crap at planning parties, but I'd still help if I weren't going to be in London all weekend. Mandatory meeting, all Watchery and stuff. It's all good, though; I'll be seeing some friends I haven't seen in a while and doing a little shopping. I'll have to get something to wear for the party. Any dress code I should be aware of?
Hey now, I'm well versed in drinks of the non-alcoholic variety. After all, they're what we mix with the alcohol to make delightful little numbers like Sex on the Beach and Screwdrivers. (You've probably not heard of these beverages. They're Muggle, made with Muggle alcohol and everything. They taste as good as their names suggest.)
Muggle alcohol is on my list of things to never imbibe in voluntarily at the moment, so I'll take your word on it. Although Sex on the Beach is not nearly as romantic as it sounds. Too much sand in uncomfortable places.
Well, in that case, I'll make sure to have plenty of wizarding alcohol on hand for you. One of the benefits of being a bloke? Fewer uncomfortable places to get sand in.

I was only trying to help the world understand the scintillating genius that is "Kung Fu Fighting." (I don't like Jimi Hendrix, anyway.)
Oh, and do keep an eye on Sirius and make sure he doesn't demolish the alcohol supplies before the party starts. I wouldn't put it past him.
cheers,
Remus

London! Stop by Diagon Alley while you're there. They have the best shops.
I'll miss you! But have a wonderful time. Tell all your Muggle Watcher friends I said hello.
Dress Code? I'm going for the 'debauched' look, but that's just me. Anything you're comfortable carousing about on the lawn with is perfect.
Have a safe trip! Don't get splinched!

So yes, count me in. I'll be glad to help.
