We'll just have to hope that Ginny doesn't scare her off of the girls' room. I'll have to say hello when I get the chance.

A party sounds nice, really. I'm willing to pitch in, certainly.

Do you think we should get something for Mr. Styles? What with his... illness and all. I haven't seen him since he got carted off.

You'll like her, Ron, she's very polite. I think she's around Ginny's age. I hope they get along..

Any ideas where we should hold it? The office is big enough for us, but if we're inviting the people from the palace staff as well, we might have to go someplace a little bit bigger.

Oh...that I don't know. Are you getting him something? I was just going to...stay out of his way, until he called us.

They likely will. Ginny gets along with most people who aren't me... or Malfoy, or any given Death Eater.

Isn't the Palace some swanky deal itself? Maybe Brocklehurst'll let us hold it there, if we ask.

That... Might be a good plan, actually. Perhaps we could just... Send along an interesting plant, or something.

Well, I'm almost definitely sure Sarah isn't a Death Eater, Ron. She doesn't even own a wand.

Good idea. Though, he might be a little preoccupied. Wedding plans and all. I wouldn't want to bother him..

Maybe I should just..send along some water plants that he can put in that fish tank he's got.

Sure, let me know the going rate and I'll pitch in. And what about holding an office secret santa?

Do you have a date in mind, yet?

Just whatever you can spare is fine, Rose...Er, what's a secret santa?

A..a what? I don't-..what?

A secret santa is where you put everybody's name into a hat and mix them up. Whoever's name you pick is the person you have to (secretly) buy a gift for that year. It's fun and it means everybody in the office gets something special.

...The calendar kind of date, Neville.

..Do you think we should have one of those?

....Oh.

Right. [this is Neville blushing furiously and yet secretly relieved] Well, nothing's certain, yet, but I was thinking maybe the 20th or 21st?

[charmedillusion]

...thank you again, by the way.

I was just going to ask you that! Is it always this perpetually bright, even in the bleak mid-winter?

[snake_slayer]

Oh...you're welcome, Sarah! My pleasure, really..

Uh, well...not usually. Today's most likely a curse day, you get those.
