 catching up; apologies if this doesnt make sense *tired* Ability is nothing without Opportunity | | Creativity is Intelligence having FUN
Corin listened intently to the discussions all around. “I wouldn’t mind helping in any which way I can—media liaison, investigation.... and I suppose I can consider lending a few of our house elves for the time being.” He just needs to tell his mother, since well, its going to be her houselves.
As for the fundraising, he thought Ivy’s idea was pretty viable—until Cassandra pointed out fancy gigs also need money to put up to begin with. He sighed quietly, they really didn’t have much options do they. “I suppose if we are to have a fundraising it would be best not to have to bring it inside the castle.” Because that requires cleaning and beautifying and... yeah resources they don’t have. “How about something we can just hold outside on the grounds? Something that the students or the faculty doesn’t have to strain themselves having to put together or look after? Something like.... a school fair? Hogwarts has wide open spaces— plenty of room for merchants to push their wares on their target market’s front doorstep. All we really need to do is open the gates, secure places the outsiders aren’t allowed to go into and let them bring their gear and set up shop. And as an incentive, we don’t charge them rent space—provided of course that Hogwarts gets a cut of all their earnings. Minimal cost, maximum income.” That’s the name of the game right? “And perhaps, we can open this as something of a small event—students and faculty can bring their family and friends; Parents and guardians can come in free--”because after all, they are already paying for the student’s education “—everybody else pays a small entrance fee. Small. After all you want them to spend their money on the merchants.” |
