My group visited a school where recent Hogwarts graduate Shivani Johns teaches.

She took over fairly recently, I think, and her predecessor was old and had some difficulty keeping up with the work. The whole school needed to be painted and also we patched a hole in the roof. Also, some places where the furniture hadn't been moved in about a century that needed a good cleaning -- we noticed those when we moved the furniture to paint.

It was good to feel really useful. We certainly appreciated Miss Johns coming in on her day off to work with us, and we hope that she finds the fresh paint and no-longer-leaking roof make it worthwhile!

I wonder if anyone wound up at the school I used to attend? The teacher when I went there was Miss Dixton. (She might have retired, however. I'm not sure.)

What sorts of work did the other groups find was needed?

Shivani Johns likes half-bloods nearly as much as her old mate, Lana Sandoval does.

She acted like anything we cleaned was likely going to be contaminated when we were done with it, was furious that she had to come in on her day off, and didn't say thank you.

Yeah. We had a good time, my group.

The teacher where we went was a nice ol witch, who'd made biscuits and brought along pumpkin juice for us, and thanked us for what we were doing.

Celia Thompson got talking with her and found out that the floo in her office didn't open properly so the fire was always smoky and mostly she just tried to make do with warming charms, so we got together and figured out how to fix that for her. And she was so happy about that. It was nice.

Miss Dixton? Yeah, she's still there, because that's where our group went.

We worked pretty hard, and definitely got a lot done.
