It's the first day of spring

[alt_gredforge]

and we'd like to call the attention of our foreign guests to a charming little custom of the Protectorate of which they may not be aware.

If you kiss a ginger on the first day of spring, you'll have good luck all year!

Well, what are you waiting for? There are plenty of Weasleys to choose from! And one or two others with enough locks afire to spread plenty of good luck around.

You hoping Delacour will take the hint?

Keep dreaming.

[alt_gredforge]

If she doesn't, there are plenty of others who might! We consider it a public service.

[alt_percy]

What stuff and nonsense.

[alt_percy]

No one's ever done that to me.

[alt_bill]

Speak for yourself.

[alt_gredforge]

Not the sort of thing you should boast about, Percy.

We expect when it come to kissing gingers, the people who know you decide to pretend you have brown hair for the day, just so they can pick somebody else.

[alt_penelope]

Well, not because of your brothers, anyway. Rather in spite of them.

[alt_percy]

Indeed.

[alt_molly]

I've never heard of such a thing!

[alt_bill]

Sure you have, Mum. You're living it.

[alt_arthur]

Absolutely.

I have marvelous luck, every time I kiss a ginger.

[alt_gredforge]

Oi! No soppy stuff, now!

[alt_molly]

Well, when you put it that way, I suppose I do, too!

ORDER ONLY

hear hear

You would bring this back up again. Maybe I should hex you two this year for starting this bogus tradition. You better hope I don't get kissed. Otherwise I am coming after you.

[alt_gredforge]

We suggest getting a one day black dye job.

[alt_ginny]

I can arrange that for you.

[alt_penelope]

There's no such tradition. Honestly, you two.

I suppose you had to change tactics this year since you could hardly call it 'International Kiss a Ginger Day' when our visitors know perfectly well it doesn't exist outside of the Protectorate. Outside of Hogwarts, even.

For Merlin's sake.
