alt_siriusSo, how did everything go? I'm guessing you had to leap straight back into delivering drinks. Sometimes I think we ought to stop replenishing the heating charms in the garden but then, we really do need the dosh.
Anyway, I hope that it was fairly straightforward.
We've had quite an exciting day here, on the other hand. Seven hours of contrariness punctuated by tossing two meals right across the kitchen, a 'nap' that I later learned consisted of popping the heads off all her dollies, tearing the pages out of three books and breaking the present Uncle Charlie gave her last year. And attendant crocodile tears, of course.
Then there was the whole scene when Harry, Justin and the other flyers came back here for a cup of cocoa and I forbade her coming down to visit them all. Last thing we need is for her to overhear their reports or to connect the faces she saw here with tea at Laszlo's.
Add to that, Snape was banging about in the still room complaining about the noise (a 'distraction from important endeavours' and other choice phrases) and bloody Kreacher acting all miserable again. No idea what he was on about this time. Wailing almost as loudly as Albia and apparently with just as little reason.
I've finally got her bathed and in bed but not without another row about it. Merlin, I've never seen hair that shade of green, or a face so purple. She even grew little horns when she was really going for effect.
When you do shut down for the evening, bring me back a pint or two, will you? If I'm still awake, I could use the drink.

But that's where she was glad to have a chance to see what I'm about, I guess. Another one who got attached but wasn't the right one for her bloke. Not to worry, though. We didn't waste much breath on that sort of thing. Mostly it was thinking what might come of these things we're all doing, and hoping that we can keep it up long enough to make a real difference before we get caught and stopped.
