Fun & Last Minute Preparations

I took advantage of the nice long weekend (it was parent-teacher conference time at Hogwarts, so there were no classes from Thursday afternoon until today!) and had fun getting my spoilee's package ready. Olive sent Marty off to pick something up, but he'll be back before the 21st and when he gets here, I'm sending him right back off to Hermione Bagnold!
