WHO: Daphne Greengrass & Theodore Nott.
WHAT: A get together.
WHERE: The drawing room at the Greengrass Estate.
WHEN: Tonight, after dinner.
RATING: TBD. Should be low.
The drawing room at the Greengrass Estate was decorated for Christmas all ready. Alexander III made sure even if the matriarch and patriarch of the household were not there to celebrate in the holiday with them, that the house was at least decorated. If it were up to Daphne, the house would have stayed plain and normal. What was the point of decorate if it was just going to be taken down in a month or so later? All the decorations did was dry up and leave nasty little pine needles behind which infuriated the hired help to clean. Despite Daphne's protests, in the end Alexander III had the final say, he always had the final say when it came to the home when their parents weren't there.
Music was echoing through the quiet halls of the large home. It's source came from a string quartet magically charmed to play music tucked into a corner of the drawing room. Seated off to one side of the couch, Daphne's attention was on the book in her lap, fingers slowly turning the pages as the sound of a fire crackling in the fireplace before her mingled with the music emitting from the corner. The entire room smelled like a mixture of cinnamon, evergreens and wood burning from the fireplace.
Yawning slightly, Daphne idly flicked lint from her skirt as she sat quietly. She did tell the servants to prepare for a guest, she just didn't have a time set. Later meant any time in Daphne's eyes, and considering she really didn't have much else to do, she could only sit and wait. Unlike most of her former housemates, though, Daphne was a very patient girl. It was a virtue she was blessed with. Give her a good book, a nice place to read and she could wait for the world to end. Which by the looks of things in the journals and in the Daily Prophet was likely going to happen soon. For now, however, she would just wait until Theodore Nott decided to come over. Being out of Hogwarts meant that she had to plan these sort of things, she was no longer able to just go to the common room and chance upon him, or find him in the library. However, sitting in the privacy of her own home was definitely one of the numerous positives to not being at Hogwarts.
