Owl: To Terry Boot
Date: 22 January 2006 Characters: Ernie, Terry Location: 4 canon Street, Hogwarts Private/Public: Private Rating: PG Warnings: - Summary: Ernie needs someone to provide him with a bit of courage... so he asks Terry.
Ernie paced back and forth across his study. He'd decided that Terry was right and he needed to get out and about more... or at least more than just the shop. He'd hired one of the young girls from his estate to work in the shop part-time and that had helped his feelings of doing nothing other than work. But what he had planned now... well, he was sure it was a good idea, it was just making him nervous.
His father had arranged for a membership for him at the Casion of Sidi al'Nasir when he turned eighteen. He'd used it a couple of times when he was younger but not at all since his parents had been hurt. He'd kind of liked the club since no one cared about who or what you were as long as you followed the rules and didn't cause trouble. It would be the ideal place to start with this plan of getting out and about - a place to go and mix with people who wouldn't have any expectations of him.
The problem was... he was a bit nervous about going alone.
It was stupid and made him feel like he was a little kid again but he couldn't help it. He didn't want to go alone.
He sighed and ran a hand through his hair then he suddenly grinned. This had been in part Terry's idea, maybe Terry would be willing to come with him? he gave a small laugh and headed for his desk, grabbing quill and parchment and writing a short message which he sent off with Callum.
Dear Terry,
I have decided to take your advice about getting out and about more but I confess I'm a little nervous about the whole thing. As a result, I was hoping I could finagle you into coming with me.
I was planning on going to the Casino of Sidi al'Nasir this Friday. I'm not sure if you know of it. It's a private club but my father got me a membership years ago.
