Summary: What happens when Hogwarts decides to participate in other religious holidays… such as the Jewish holiday Purim? lets just say that there aren't any drinking laws alrighty?
Disclaimer: J.K.R owns every character and setting I just come up with the weird…sometimes perverted ahem ideas and I got the holiday info from 1. my head and 2. but mostly from my head lol go me!
April was quickly approaching Hogwarts and thanks to Dumbledore's new idea of the cultural/religious exchange they had gone through many how might Harry put it lightly? Unusual holidays. They had already gone through el Día de los Muertos: that was some type of Mexican variation of All Saints Day, Kwanzaa: a type of African American holiday, and now Purim: a Jewish holiday.
Dumbledore looked down at the students in the Great Hall, his periwinkle blue eyes sparkling, and held out is sweeping arms in an attempt to calm the student body. The rest of the school took some time to actually quite down but became pacified eventually. The Headmaster cleared his throat and started leafing through a thoroughly ancient looking manuscript that seemed to come from the air it's self. " Ahem," he paused while squinting at the foreign language, " The ancient holiday of … well pretty much what every one of their holidays are about really." Dumbledore recalled closing the book, keeping his thumb in his place, " Always the same… really, they fought, they won, and then they ate." Many of the students snorted into their plates at this, as did Snape for some odd reason. " Well anyway," he concluded brightly, " The national rather than the religious character of the festival made it appear appropriate to celebrate the occasion by feasting. Hence it was the rule to have at least one festive meal, called Seudat Purim. The jovial character of the feast was illustrated in the saying of the Talmud that one should drink on Purim until he can no longer distinguish 'Cursed be Haman' from 'Blessed be Mordecai,'" Many heads shot up at the idea of drinking until they couldn't tell up from down of male from female for that reason.
" Bring on the drinks then!" Fred and George whooped into the air.
" Well it's more than just drinking yourself silly." Dumbledore countered:" You all get to dress up, it's part of tradition, of course! Now anything is accepted; in the Hebrew Talmud, it mentions that Purim being the only time that a man can dress as a woman and vice versa, so my instructions for you all, go all out, and at the end of the night, there will be a prize for the most original costumes!"
Everyone immediately turned toward their neighbor and started to glib about their masquerade costume idea and what the prize could be, because of course Dumbledore had failed to mention it.
Author's Note: hmm ok this was just the first chapter…. Just wondering should I continue it?
