Order Only: World Cup?

[alt_sirius]

Okay, so, all of Sherwood's been talking about it, but since we're all outlaws here no one has much in the way of details. I got elected to ask.

Have they really gone and secured the rights to play the World Cup Finals here? Where, then? (Last I'd heard it was going to be somewhere in Canada, but that was over a year ago. Things have been known to change with sufficient application of persistence. And gold.)

And is everyone in the whole realm supposed to go?

If all the camps are going down to skeleton crews, well, I mean to say, we could get dozens out, perhaps.

Of course, there are some who want to throw together some kind of plan to disrupt the match, or the celebrations around it. I have to assume MLE have thought about that, though. And possibly the camps, as well.

But surely the whole country can't simply shut down for the final, can it?

She shan't get Sorted into Ravenclaw because her dad's too thick to notice that the conversation is a private message, so she won't be able to read it.

Anyway, she doesn't cry when I hold her. How soon do teeth grow in?

I have no idea! Do you suppose Poppy knows? Or Molly surely does. I'm afraid to ask, what if it's months?

She's fine, Moony.

You could always use my Grandmother Melania's failsafe. She always said when my father or uncle was fussing or teething, she'd have the elf rub a little firewhiskey on their gums. And on particularly bad nights, mix a little in the milk.

Whatever you do, don't sing to her. Then you'll find out just how much louder than Harry she can be.

Well, she did go to sleep, finally.

I should probably take advantage of the opportunity to go to bed myself. I'll get her drunk on firewhiskey tomorrow, that sounds like an excellent plan, thank you ever so much for suggesting it.
