An elfin figure crawls out from under her desk, pushing away the 
cobwebs and the three piles of Snape posts:  done, to be done, and 
not sure what to do.  

Party?  I'm there!

I'll volunteer an enormous chocolate cake (as big as Miss Havisham's 
wedding cake, but much fresher).  No Dementors at this party!

I can select a delicious buffet spread, but decorations are a bit 
beyond my abilities.  

But, you know, maybe we could have a Prose Portal, so we could jump 
into the books anytime.  I'll call Mycroft right away.

Ready-for-a-Party!Debbie
thinking we could chat a bit about Snape at the party, or I shall 
propose to make some executive decisions
