Order Only: Private Message to Sally-Anne Perks

Sally-Anne,

I've been elected to invite you to come spend some time at Grimmauld Place this holiday. If you let us know when you think you can get away from your foster-parents, your mother would like to see you.

So give us the date and we'll make sure she is here. Kreacher will make up the guest rooms and you're welcome to stay as long as you're able.

We even promise to keep Bea out of your trunk.

Really?!?

Okay. Um. Can Pansy come too? Because the only time I have free is from very late Christmas Eve (like, ten or eleven at night) until first thing in the morning on Boxing Day and usually I spend it with Pansy, we've made plans. But we were going to her London town house, not back to Scotland.

And I want to see Mum. But Pansy -- you know she doesn't get on all that well with her Mum and Prospero and anyway, I wouldn't want to abandon her on the holiday either.

[alt_sirius]

Well, I think your mother wanted you to hers

Why not?

[alt_sally_anne]

Okay.

Yes, thank you, we'd like to come. Maybe just Christmas Day though because honestly I never know what time I'll be done Christmas Eve and Pansy's used to it but I hate the idea of my Mum sitting and waiting inconveniencing my hosts.

So maybe we could come Christmas morning? Ten in the morning? Though -- I know Tonks works odd hours and Bea's probably a bit young to drag you out of bed at dawn especially as she doesn't have siblings. So if ten doesn't work let me know, I don't want to be a problem.

[alt_sirius]

Ten should be fine.

Also, I guess I should say that if you'd really rather have Grimmauld Place to yourself on Christmas Day itself I don't blame you. But the Strettons will have me delivering baskets from five minutes after I arrive tomorrow until late Christmas Eve and then I have to work on Boxing Day and probably also on the 27th and then on the 28th I have to go to my father's house and I am REALLY not going to be able to go anywhere until I go back to school. If I'm lucky he

I wish

Well

I was just saying to Pansy, next year I'll be able to spend my holiday however I want.

[alt_sirius]

Well, you'll have to cope with a two-year-old who will want to show you all her presents and want to see yours. But I think we can manage it.

[alt_sally_anne]

Well THAT'S fine. I like little kids.

I thought for a while I'd probably be someone's nanny when I grew up.
