Nolan had been keeping his mouth shut after that SASSY comment from Braxton, but now that they'd gotten to brainstorming he found himself coming up with a few ideas himself. He nodded at everyone's ideas of fundraising, which was obviously the best place to start.

"At this point, I don't even think it would be that out of line to ask for a small donation from parents before we do anything like planning a fundraiser, which will of course cost us a bit of money to hold, I'm sure," he said. "Muggle universities do it all the time - they ask their alum to give a small donation from time to time. Would it be that uncalled for for US to do that as well?" he suggested.

"That could be done hand in hand with a ball or something of some sort, to give people something to look forward," he added. "Both of those are options. Considering that parents are probably aware of the situation, I don't think many wouldn't be willing to donate a few galleons here and there if we sent a nice owl to them asking them for a favor. We can always hold a ball or party, free of charge, as a thank you when we finally have the money," he added.

He knew that if Scarlett's school needed some money, he'd be more than willing to toss in some galleons to help the cause. Surely other parents were that willing too!
