Mobile Call: Harry to Hermione

[potterglow]

*speed -dials Hermione's number but ends call before it rings*

You better be bloody appreciative, Draco.  Okay, it's just Hermione, my best friend and I'll ring her and well, what's the worst that could happen, seriously. You are a coward, Harry, honestly.

*speed-dials Hermione's number and waits*

*Answers, sounding out of breath but cheerful.* Harry! How are yo-- Oh, just a moment. I've got to set the mobile down.

*In the background.*

Crookshanks! Get out of the tree! I've told you about a thousand times now that it isn't for climbing!

*Picks the phone back up.*

Sorry, he likes the Christmas tree.

[potterglow]

*chuckles* He always seems to like all that he shouldn't.

Hello. How are you?

[hermione_aglow]

Brilliant, really. I sent Ronald off to the store to buy some new Christmas lights while I untangle the strings I have and put them on the tree. Aside from a quick spell I used to untangle the lights, I have insisted on doing it all the Muggle way, so I think Ron is going to take his time with returning home. And that should give me enough time to wrap his presents and make them look perfect, *in a bit of a louder voice* and I just know Crookshanks won't tear up the paper and chase the ribbons because he is such a good cat! *with her regular voice* That, and I found a ward that I can cast around the tree that'll repel him. Humanely, of course

*laughs* I see you are quite busy. I could always call later, you know, when Crookshanks is not trying to conquer the Christmas tree.
