Ah, a challenge! 
Weren't there runors that DD had booked a troop of dancing skeletons 
for that particular feast? Well, maybe the dancing skeletons were 
going to perform on the lawn and the school was headed up to the 
Astronomy tower to watch, because the castle steps wouldn't afford a 
good enough view of their spectacular aerial acrobatics? I don't 
know. I'm reaching, but that's all I can think of.
