Antonin spent much of the time while Morag and Gabrielle were shopping using the muggle telephone to contact various business contacts in the muggle world. If Lee can combine a muggle cell phone with some version of a magical system, I may have to adopt him.
"Hello, ladies," Antonin said with a smile, "did you buy everything?" he continued as Morag and Gabrielle came into the sitting room of the suite at the Plaza.
"We've plenty of time for you to make yourselves ready; I've got a portkey to the foyer of the Casino." He took a few minutes to warn the two women about the 'no magic' wards on the club.
Several hours later, they arrived at the Casino of Sidi Al'Nasir. The doorman nodded to Antonin with a polite, "Welcome back, Captain. Welcome, Madame Dolohova, Mademoiselle Delacour."
Offering an arm to either lady, Antonin lead them into the dining room, where a table was waiting. "In honor of our guest, Morag, I've taken the liberty of ordering a French menu tonight. We shall start with oven roasted Tomato Crostini, followed by a salad of mixed greens served with Boston Lettuce leaves, topped with sliced pears, pomegranate seeds and dressed with a light champagne-pomegranate vinaigrette. For the main course, grilled Filet Mignon or Coquille St. Jacques Provençale, sautéed fresh “dry sack” scallops, finished with a light tomato concassé, and for dessert, chocolate mousse cake. The wines here are excellent, may I suggest a Burgundy, Bordeaux or Californian?"
As usual at the Casino, the service was impeccable, and the food excellent. After dinner, Antonin nursed a cognac, and gestured to the rest of the club, "Gabrielle, through that door," he nodded his head in the direction he meant, "you will find a nightclub atmosphere. Perhaps you would care for a little champagne, and go and let the young men fight each other for the chance to dance with you? Morag and I might check out the gambling tables, or I'll let her look into the Casino's library. We might catch up with you later, or you can use the portkey I gave you to get back to your room."
