So we managed to get DS8, now DS9 into Gryffindor after all!

His ninth birthday was a Harry Potter themed birthday party. Complete with sorting ceremony (he knew exactly what to answer now for Gryffindor, and of course for his classmate with the bright red hair, the hat screamed "Gryffindor!" at once, but we also got a few happy Hufflepuffs and Ravenclaws), potions class (the glassware abstracted from DHs science resource room, the ingredients making very nice layered cocktails), wand making and clasp making for cloaks.
It was the first kids birthday party that was WAY more fun than stress. You haven't lived until you have herded eight 9 year olds with black cloaks and LED powered glowing wands through a 19th century fortification in a Professor McGonagall costume...
