alt_justinMr and Mrs Ponds,
I hope we shan't be intruding on you this afternoon, for tea?
We're quite looking forward to the gathering. The parties are quite jolly, what, and today's ought to be particularly fine.
I wanted to check and make sure the additional arrangements are all in hand. Please do let me know if you need anything more to be ready. I think most of the participants shall arrive about half-three, if that's all right.
Thank you again and I do hope it stays a surprise.
See you soon,
-Justin Finch-Fletchley

I thought rather than argue it would be best just to let her see that we've asked permission.
But on that note, Tonks, have you and Ellie got everything you need for the cake? And the decorations? I do hope to surprise her. I've already sent her a card so she might not think we'll do anything else.

Ellie was making streamers, and Mr
Ponds (well, you know) was showing her how to add charms to make them more festive, and then, of course, Bea wanted to help. So we'll have some streamers, but also quite a lot of confetti. Lemonade out of lemons! And it should all be quite jolly.And do tell the Jugsons that we couldn't be more pleased to have been asked to help celebrate cousin Hydra's birthday. We're quite fond of her, you know, and no pretense about that.
Come along whenever you like. Or were you going to wait and try to come last with Hydra? Ought we think of some signal to tell you that everyone's here?
Re: Order Only
Date: 2013-07-10 04:32 pm (UTC)Remy and I are going to collect her in a little while. I rather suspect Rigel might wish to come along, so we may have Mrs Baylock as well.
We ought to have thought of a signal, dash it. What have you in mind?

He'll let you in, and there we'll all be.

But we'll have Ellie keep an eye out for when you get here, and we won't keep you standing on the mat too long.

Date: 2013-07-10 03:48 pm (UTC)We've got everything ready for you when you arrive. And if it's not a surprise, it won't have been us that gave it away.
