I don't suppose anyone thought to ask where all the guests are going to sleep. Especially if more than one relative per student is coming.

[Warded to Tsunade]

If my grandparents come, can you dose me with small amounts of Euphoria Elixir while they're here?

There ought to be enough room for everyone. Hogwarts is very large, after all.

[serpent_child]

It's not whether there's enough room. It's if there's enough beds, and where they're going to be when they have to sleep. Even if I give up my bed, my Gran shouldn't have to sleep in the Slytherin boys' dorms.

[slug_healer]

Well, if worse comes to worst, your Gran could stay with me and my dad can stay with you?

Provided that Professor Dumbledore hasn't already made arrangements for the parents already.

[serpent_child]

I suppose. But I'd still have two grandfathers to accommodate if they all come.

[dreadof]

I'm pretty sure that there must be some rooms where they'll stay.

[serpent_child]

I'm pretty sure you're putting more faith into the organization of this stupid idea than it deserves.

[dreadof]

[ouch, harsh. But he dismisses it.]

Oh come on, it's not like he wouldn't think about this ahead of time.

[serpent_child]

[Harsh comes pretty naturally to Orochimaru, especially if he's annoyed.]

Even brilliant wizards can come up with bad ideas.

[italianscanspar]

Eh, who knows? S'Hogwarts, innit? I'm sure they got someplace for the folks.

[serpent_child]

I'm sure they have some place. I'm just worried that place is going to be the floor of the Great Hall.

[italianscanspar]

Aw, I doubt it! Hey, even if it does end up bein' the floor, I'm sure they'll make it cushy and posh for the occasion.

[serpent_child]

I don't want my grandparents sleeping on the floor at all. They're old and deserve better than that.

[He doesn't want them to come, period. But he's starting to learn about keeping up appearances.]

Warded to Orochimaru

[slug_healer]

Why?

By the way, both of my parents are coming. I'm pretty sure they would like the chance to see your grandparents, so there's that for possible distraction.

Warded - Tsunade/Orochimaru only

[serpent_child]

Because I'm annoyed that Professor Dumbledore got it into his head that every single person here is going to want the same thing and sent out invitations without asking who wanted visitors. I don't want them to think I'm mad at them, and I trust your potion making skills over mine.

That would be good. I don't know if all three of them are going to come or not yet. But my grandfather will appreciate having people he can speak to in his first language and he's the one who said he was coming for sure.

Re: Warded - Tsunade/Orochimaru only

[slug_healer]

I would agree with you, on that. It is rather presumptive.

All right, I can make you some for the weekend. Do you want to meet me in the Great Hall after dinner tonight?

Also-- minor change of plans -- Dad's coming, Mom's not, 'cause of Nawaki.

[She was looking forward to seeing the little bugger again, too.]

Re: Warded - Tsunade/Orochimaru only

[serpent_child]

It's also going to get annoying if any of the teachers decide to give homework. A day visit would have been better.

Okay. Thank you, Tsunade.

[norgesangen]

Hogsmeade.

[serpent_child]

That would make sense. Do you know for sure if that's where they're staying? Or are you guessing?

[norgesangen]

Ah. No, I just reckon.
