I bought a lightly used industrial size cauldron this morning from a pawn shop down the street and have decided to start my own potions shop of sorts. Pepper-Up Potions, I suspect, will be my main product, but I'm willing to brew to order as well.
I'll sell for a full Galleon below retail price if you a) pick up potions from my flat yourself and b) promise to keep this relatively quiet as it isn't, strictly speaking, legal. Deal? |

Warded to Chester Wagtail.(placeholder for a ward re: their saturday pub crawl)
Consider this your formal invitation to my flatwarming party tomorrow.
Bring your own booze, though you really don't need to; I live above the Rover's Return in Tinworth, and they're open until 2.
And yes, this is an open invitation. I trust that anyone I wouldn't want at my party would have the good sense to stay away in the first place. |

I'd just like to take this opportunity to remind everyone that while binge drinking is fun and finally legal for us young'uns, there are certain precautions that one should take when engaging in a night of revelry.1. Always drink lots of water before, during, and after chugging down firewhiskey like there's no tomorrow. You'll thank yourself in the morning.
2. Pepper-Up Potion is your friend, but make sure you're only drinking as much as you absolutely need or you'll start building up a tolerance and end up wasting all the money you should be spending on booze on Pepper-Up instead. (Alternately, brew your own! I'll probably start doing that sometime soon to supplement my shitty wages.)
3. Know your limits. Failing that, have someone around who knows your limits. If someone passes out, make sure they're just asleep and not suffering from alcohol poisoning. Worried it might be the latter? Take them to Mungo's ASAP. There are plenty of easy, quick, magical ways to fix alcohol poisoning, but none of them should be attempted while drunk.
4. Put your journal away. Put your phone away. Put away any piece of communicative technology - box up the Floo powder if you have to. Otherwise you WILL end up calling your ex or leaving embarrassing messages to coworkers, friends, crushes, or people you barely know but feel like singing God Rest Ye Merry Hippogryffs to at 3 in the bloody morning.
5. If you get fucked up, you might end up hooking up with someone you wouldn't otherwise. This is a fact of life. Be prepared to accept those consequences. Always make sure you're getting enthusiastic consent from your partner during the act or you might end up being someone else's utter mistake.
6. For fuck's sake, use protection. Use a Permanent Sticking Charm to put condoms on your knickers if you have to.
7. I shouldn't have to say this, but I will: if you're at a party with people you don't know, always mix your own drinks and keep an eye on your cup the whole night. There are a bevy of unpleasant potions that could be slipped in ranging from the hilarious to the creepy to the downright deadly.
8. Take good care of your body between binges. It'll need the rest and care, I can assure you.
9. Club drinks are stupidly expensive. Always pregame at home or at a pub - your wallet will thank you.
10. Friends don't let friends go home with skeevy strangers. Sexy strangers, sure, but watch out for the tall ones in trench coats.
11. Try not to start any fires. Chester Wagtail, I'm looking at you. |

I hesitate to ask, but... did anyone not get completely pissed last night, or is sobriety as dead as chivalry?
On a very different note: Merlin's left tit, it felt amazing to wake up in my own flat this morning. Not my mum's house, not the Slytherin dorm - my own flat. Nothing to make your impending adulthood sink in like brewing yourself a cuppa and reading the morning Prophet all by your onesie, I'll tell you that. |
