Notes upon the Season, an Announcement, and an Invitation

My response? No.

[alvearium]

Severus, whatever is the matter this time.

[cauldron_brew]

The matter is that I have no intention of being trapped in a bubble with certain members of staff. Are you mad?

[quidditch_prat]

Ron and I would be glad to attend, sir.

[alvearium]

I'm delighted to hear it.

[bot_a_glove]

Pomona and I will attend.

[alvearium]

Of course you will, my dears. Good luck with the last week of term.

[rjohnlupin]

Might I bring my daughter, sir? I'm sure she'd find a trip to the North Pole to be positively high adventure, but seeing as how there shan't be any other young children present, I can see where she might be a bit underfoot.

Miss Artemsia must come, of course. Everyone would be sorely disappointed were she not, and I doubt the alcohol or the late hours will trouble her. I will forward a written invitation to her via phoenix. Sirius as well, I hope?

[rjohnlupin]

Then we should all be pleased to come, Sir. I've spoken with Sirius already, and he's keen.

Pardon my delay in responding.

I was troubled by the presence of a dark sign in the tea leaves regarding the date noted on your invitation, but upon closer examination, what I took to be a sign turned out to be not a tea leaf at all, but rather a small spider whose fate it was to drown in a tea cup. The omens no longer being dangerous (to non-arachnids, at least), I shall be pleased to attend your Feast of Lights.

Delighted to hear it, Sybill. I would ask you to foretell what you will be wearing, but I prefer, as Sirius Black would say, the element of surprise.
