Octavian had seen a sign-up sheet for a Valentine's Day event. The Encyclopedia Britannica had become Octavian's best friend, and resorting to this work, he learned that some crazy cult had swept the globe, become the dominant cultural force in the West, and co-opted perfectly good holidays. His familiar Lupercalia had become a celebration ostensibly to honor some Christian 'bishop'.
This led him to ponder many things. Over his solitary light dinner in the Great Hall, he ruminated:
How could an obscure religious fringe group based on quasi-cannibalistic rites grow to such power?
Should he sign up for this Valentine thing, in order to become more familiar with new practices, or should he abstain to show disapproval?
Would it be at all feasible to procure for his friend and sometime employee Titus Pullo a wench with whom to celebrate the Lupercalia? Pullo had mentioned before the disappointing lack of prostitutes at Hogwarts. What had he said was the modern term? Ah, yes. Spice Girls. Octavian would have to see about procuring a Spice Girl for his friend. Pullo deserved it!
