Ok so maybe they were a bit more into the alcohol then Don had originally thought they were. Had this been a friendly gathering then he’d have felt the need to play catch up, but since it wasn’t he didn’t feel that need. He just wanted to enjoy his drink, eat some crisps and get this serious conversation done and dealt with. Though it was decidedly looking as though they were going to go around and around and never really reach a conclusion.
“Personally I don’t see there is much we can do. We can risk not going in to show our outrage at the situation and consequently be dragged in kicking and screaming or we can willingly go in at our summons and deal. They haven’t given us much information to go on.” Neither seemed like a good idea to Don because he was afraid that either could end up with a stint, or longer, at Azkaban and he didn’t think the others in the group could pull of a break out from there.
