The Day Lupin Suggested To Go To Cadbury World For The Teachers' Day Out

The teachers sat together in the staffroom, discussing where they would be going on this year's teachers' day out, which would take place in December.

"I'd love to go to London," said Sinistra. "It'd be great to do our Christmas shopping there."

"How about Brighton? A little bit of seaside?" suggested Sprout.

"With this weather?" asked McGonagall, not at all pleased. "I'd rather go a day to Hawaii."

"And now for something we might all enjoy," interrupted Snape, Dumbledore nodding next to him.

"How - how about - " stuttered Lupin insecurely.

"Yes?" said everyone, turning to him.

"Well, I thought," said Lupin, fidgeting, "Perhaps it's a nice idea to, erm, well, to visit a theme park."

Everyone stared at him, and Snape started to laugh.

"A what? A theme park?" said Flitwick. "What kind of theme park were you thinking of?"

"Well, it's not really a theme park, strictly speaking," mumbled Lupin.

"Go on, speak up!" rumbled Hagrid from his private sofa.

"Very well," said Lupin, finding his resolve. "I was thinking it might be fun for us all to go to Cadbury World."

They all blinked at him. Snape had stopped laughing and said, "You mean, Cadbury World of the Cadbury chocolate?"

Lupin nodded.

"Brilliant idea," Dumbledore had to admit. "There's only one tiny problem."

"No!" shrieked Lupin.

"Yes, I'm afraid," said Dumbledore. "It's not open in this time of year."

Lupin, comprehensibly, cried himself to sleep that night.
