Reporter: I was really interested how you’re going to spend your first pay packet, whether you had any idea what you’d like to do with some of your money?
Emma: Um…I’m afraid I’m really going to bore all of you but um…I’m afraid I’m going to stick it in a bank until I’m 21!
Reporter: Daniel, are you going to be a saver?
Dan: Probably…um….I….no, I don’t have any idea.
Reporter: Rupert?
Rupert: Well, speaking as a wizard um… well we’re going to get paid muggle money, and I don’t really understand it.

Oh gad.
So my awesome piano teacher is/was doing my composition for my film.
He’s going to the hospital to check out a tear at the back of his eye which may turn into a detatched retina today.
This may complicate matters somewhat.
Also ;A; WHY
In 1808, Napoleon, running out of scenic holiday destinations to invade, somehow totally forgot about his neighbor to the south, Spain. So that year he dispatched his troops, kicking off the Peninsular War.
Only 20 years old and working as a barmaid in the town of Valdepenas, Juana Galan was not expecting a surge of French soldiers to come storming through her village. But on June 6, that’s exactly what happened. At that time, most of the men were fighting Napoleon’s forces elsewhere in the nation. Juana, unfazed by things like rifles and Frenchmen and French riflemen, began organizing the women in her village to form a trap for the approaching army.
When the army arrived, Juana and her friends were ready. They dumped boiling water and oil on the French troops, which by all accounts will instantly take the fight out of pretty much anyone. Then Juana, armed with only a batan, beat back the heavily armed French cavalry with her squad of village women, almost none of whom were armed with guns.
The French retreated, giving up on capturing not just Juana’s town but the entire province of La Mancha, leading to ultimate Spanish victory. Today, she is seen in Spain as a national hero, a symbol of resistance, strength, patriotism, feminism and hitting shit with a stick.
