It was rude of the Hogwarts folks to waste SO much time when there was SO much to do.

"Ah. My Christelle. Did you hear the Headmaster blame YOU for their not being prepared? Have you ever heard of such a thing? Don't YOU expect better?" Lord Borr CERTAINLY did.

"HO HO HO!!!" Lord Borr BOOMED just like Santa. "HOOOOOOOOO indeed!" He clapped and kicked and jigged. "Another young Gryffindor? Who is their Head of House? Are they here? I see SOME house is doing it right at that SCHOOL!!!"

To the young Kurumi, Lord Borr bowed and stooped to be nearer to her. "Welcome Miss Hollingberry and thank you KINDLY for your GIFT!" He took the cookies and tore into them almost immediately.

Now that the CHILDREN of Hogwarts HAD indeed, in spite of Mr. Tate's foolishness, joined him on the dais, he sat back down to listen to them sing. "Go on children! Sing for your Ministry!" He set the crowd to PRE-APPLAUSE. "Don't be shy! SING!"

A few other students joined him, nearly all Gryffindors plus Jake Upstead who was clearly suffering from a nervous breakdown of some sort, and Tate shoved back his shoulders in acceptance of the very painful thing that was about to happen.

"I brought the Hufflepuff and Slytherin Heads with me, sir, but the Gryffindor Head of House was not invited, unfortunately," and he wasn't going to talk about what he was afraid might happen. It was violent and might get him thrown out of the party.

"Follow me, and don't worry too much about it," he spoke out of the corner of his mouth, hoping those few standing with him would sing loudly and as close to the right notes as they were able. Everything painful faded in memory.

"Hogwarts, Hogwarts, Hoggy Warty Hogwarts,
Teach us something, please,
Whether we be old and bald
Or young with scabby knees,
Our heads could do with filling
With some interesting stuff,
For now they're bare and full of air,
Dead flies and bits of fluff,
So teach us things worth knowing,
Bring back what we've forgot,
Just do your best, we'll do the rest,
And learn until our brains all rot."
