The dust has settled, the House Elves have cleaned up all the construction mess and decorated the room for a party. Blue and bronze streamers hang from the walls and small blue candles with bronze flames hand in the air, lighting the room. Most of the lab tables have been pushed back, so that there’s a dance floor. In the southeast corner of the room, a band, Garrick the Gruesome and the Ghastly Ghouls have set up with their instruments, and are making final sound checks. Two of the lab tables have been cleaned and covered with a blue table cloth, and placed against the north wall. The tables are covered with bronze plates loaded with every kind of snack imaginable, from curries to tiny meatballs, crisps and chicken legs and Chinese dumplings and a fruit and cheese platter. There’s a large section of desserts, including a giant spotted dick and several treacle tarts, and miniature pumpkin pies. On the west wall is a massive bar, manned by eight House Elves. They have a plentiful supply of every brand of liquor in existence, a machine making frozen margaritas and daquiris and another making alcohol-free brain-freezey drinks for those who want them. A special champagne fountain has been enchanted to refill any glasses set near it. There is also coffee and tea, just in case someone wants it.

After making sure all the decorations, food and drink are ready, Sara bangs a spoon on a glass full of champagne to get everyone’s attention and raising her glass to toast the assembled Ravenclaws, announces:

Welcome to the Grand Opening of the Ravenclaw Bar and Lab!
