OWL: Millicent to Pansy Date: February 20, 2006 Characters: Millicent, Pansy Location: Their homes Private/Public: Private Rating: G Warnings: None Summary: Millicent tries to arrange a funeral
Arranging for Rosmerta's funeral had so far been a lot easier than she'd thought it would be. When Miles owled she'd expected to be forced to find a plot, a priest, a church…but all that was already arranged as it seemed. Rosie had apparently thought a lot more of dying than some – and the result was a detailed outline of what she wanted, where she wanted it…really all that was left was to find the time.
Friday it seemed - a lot sooner than she'd thought – and had planned for. So now she had to find somewhere to hold the wake.
She'd sat for a good long while considering her options. Really without the Three broomsticks there were only three options in town, and of those there were really only one she'd consider using. She picked up her quill and wrote a quick note to Pansy.
Dear Pansy,
How are you doing? I heard the ball was a success. I'm sorry I couldn't be there but there was no one to care for Ella and Liam if Justin and I went. Besides, we're hardly rich, so we couldn’t have donated anything anyway.
Actually I'm writing you about a favour – or business actually. Rosie's funeral is on Friday and I need a place to hold the wake. Could you arrange something at the inn? Miles will pay for everything, so spare no expenses, just send him the bill.
