Prompt: #55 scented invitation
Every morning Harry Potter came down the stairs of Grimmauld Place and was greeted by a large stack of the day's owl posts. Only a fraction were auror business; the bulk was entreaties to endorse various products, requests for interviews, and, of course, fanmail.
This morning, however, even before coming downstairs, he smelled a heady combination of violets, roses, musk and--good heavens--a distinct whiff of leather.
An elegant purple scroll was the obvious source. Harry opened it cautiously.
An invitation from Romilda Vane to a Christmas party--a private Christmas party.
Ridiculous... why did it feel so tempting?
