If Mrs. Malfoy thinks Big Band Jazz is on the decline in 1981, she might want to check out the recently founded Vienna Art Orchestra or composers/arrangers like Thad Jones, Mel Lewis or Bob Brookmeyer. If she manages to leave Azkaban, that is.

Rumour has it that Big Band aficionados should keep a very close ear on a promising young lady named Maria Schneider. By the time the Triwizard Tournament is reinstated she could be ready to raise to the top of the crop.

I'll make that suggestion to Narcissa next time we talk, but right now she's a little busy (although she's also bored out of her skull).

Well done! I always wondered how different Harry Potter would be with a few competent adults around . . . and between Alice and Remus, this is shaping up to fit that bill very nicely. Thanks for the time and thanks for sharing!

That's the problem in JKR's world - there's no responsible adults in his corner.
