more invitations!

(( Dated just after Henry sends out his half of the invitations. )) Invitations go out, identical save for the addressee's name, all of them hand-written (not by a Dictaquill; heaven forbid!) on a heavy smooth parchment, the wizarding equivalent of good stationery

Camilla,

Congratulations! I'm very happy for you. I'll be there--with two guests, if that's alright?

Bella Swan

[c_macaulay]

Bella,

Of course, please do! Edward will be one of them, won't he? Who is the other? Will they have special dietary requirements? I think the room might take care of those things, but you never know.

Camilla

[unbittenapple]

Camilla,

Edward's sister, Alice, if she accepts. And I'm sure they'll be fine, but thank you very much for asking.

Bella

[c_macaulay]

Bella,

Wonderful! I'm so glad you can all be with us on such very short notice. (Needless to say, the date was not my idea.) I look forward to seeing you all!

Camilla

Camilla,

I'll be there, of course--do you still want me to use the 'litmus charm' on you-know-who?

Shaun

[c_macaulay]

Shaun,

Yes. A thousand times yes. Bless your heart.

Camilla

Camilla,

I have. She has told me what God has asked of you, and I swear I will guard you as I always have. A thousand congratulations to you, my angel.

-Silas

[c_macaulay]

Silas,

I'm so glad she's explained it all to you. Will you be there? You could bring someone with you, if you like. It's going to be Tuesday, in the Room of Requirement, at four.

Camilla

[ghostorangel]

Camilla,

Of course I will come, my angel. You will always be my angel, human though you might become. I will bring my lord with me, if I may.

-Silas

[c_macaulay]

Silas,

I'm deeply touched. Of course you can bring your lord -- who is that? Besides God, that is.

Camilla

Susan, who was just now getting over what she could only think of as a post-Halloween hangover, smiled when she read the owl. Good, Henry had actually asked already. She was extremely curious as to how the whole thing had come about, but that was a better question to put to Henry than to Camilla.

Camilla-

Congratulations! Certainly I'll be your maid of honor, though I'll tell you up front I've no idea what they're meant to actually do. Can I help you with anything in particular beforehand?

-Susan

[c_macaulay]

Susan,

Thank you! Honestly, a lot of the things a maid of honor is supposed to do are things we won't be dealing with. Throwing a shower, shopping for things, scouting out locations for the reception and what have you -- none of that is going to apply here. We already know what I'm wearing and what you're wearing and what Henry's wearing, and I'm positive Francis is not going to require assistance in that department either. (Our friend Francis. He's going to be the best man. Apparently Henry asked him to be best man before I actually accepted the marriage proposal.) So really what's left ... hm, well, you have to stand there at the front and look pretty and not fidget very much, because you're the primary bridal attendant. The only one, actually, because I'm not having bridesmaids. It's going to be a very little informal ceremony, I think. And also, traditionally, the maid of honor gives a toast at the wedding reception, and sometimes a little speech. But don't feel you have to do that! I'm sure I don't know what on earth

[fabernathy]

Wear what they've already got?

My God, Camilla.

[c_macaulay]

I know, I know, I'm sorry! I can't do anything about it now!

-C.
