Who: Pansy Thorndike and Bastian Dunstan
When: Monday, 19 September
What: Discussing the future of education
Where: Thorndike Farmhouse in Sudbury
Status: In-progress thread

Most of the children had been picked up already but those who were still there were playing in the yard while she and Bastian sat at the table in the garden, keeping an eye on them and sipping tea. Pansy still hadn't made up her mind about being a surrogate for Luag and Nate, but in true Slytherin fashion, she was trying to find a way to have it all. Children might have mellowed her out, but she did still like to have her way sometimes. (Though it was so rare). She was hoping that in this possible future, what she wanted, and what would be best for the girls, would work out to be the same.

"I can't tell you how much of a help it's been, having you around to help with the school," Pansy said as she took one of the biscuits that Flopsy had made and dipping it in her tea.

Who: Pansy & Luag
When: Tuesday, 6 September
Where: Nate & Luag's home, Middle of some god-forsaken-island-with-dragons-on-it, hebrides, scotland
What: Tea & Whiskey
Rating: Maybe PG13 if that?
Status: In progress thread

It was occasionally nice to have an evening away from the children. Not that she'd really had an evening off to do anything by herself since Tommy died, but even the evenings off to go meet up with a friend were nice and enough. Although this wasn't strictly for fun. Pansy trusted Luag's opinion since he seemed to have a similar mindset. And was more easily accessible than some of her other friends. Most of her friends had plenty of their own troubles to deal with. And perhaps, if Nate was around, after whiskey tea she could get a reading. Maybe it was all silly and she shouldn't bother Luag with it even. Before she could cancel though, Luag was flooing over with Cody and getting him settled with the girls and Pansy's parents (and the ever vigilant house elf), and Pansy was following Luag through the floo to his home. Taking a seat at the kitchen table, she rested her hands on the table as she sighed.

"It's so odd to hear nothing but silence in a home. Happens so rarely," she said.

Who: Pansy, her children, & Anyone who might have a reason to be there: slytherins, friends, people with children at the school - just tag yourself in if you want.
When: Saturday, 3 September 1pm to 6pm
What: Morgan Thorndike's Sixth Birthday Party
Where: Holyhead Harpies Pitch
Status: In progress thread
Rating: G/PG. Anything more than that and Pansy Thorndike will smack you and instruct you on what is proper at a children's birthday party.

[Note: Owls went out Saturday morning including a note and a portkey to friends of Pansys, children at the school and their parents, and other folks who might have a reason to be there. (If you think your char might be there, they were probably invited) The portkey activates at 1pm and transports guests to the Holyhead Harpies pitch. An area has been decorated with tables and chairs and there is plenty of food and drink. There were various activities for the children (and children at heart to do). Ginny and perhaps some other Harpies players were around. OOC summaries or threads at the party are allowed. Presents not required.

Who: Justin Finch-Fletchley and Zacharias Smith
When: Friday, 2 September, afternoon
Where: St. Mungo's
What: Zach gets injured at work
Rating: PG13/R?
Status: In progress Thread

It had become standard for the badgers of level one to work through lunch. The security detail, however, changed shifts every four hours. Zach and Robbie, among others, had taken to practically living in their offices. There was so much to do, meetings to attend, things to get done to hold the fort down. It had been a surprise when the wizards had stormed in, demanding access to the Minister's office. Had they really thought that a hostile take over would work? Perhaps they were expecting to find Level One deserted. Instead they found a group of devoted Ministry officials prepared to defend the Minister's office.

The rest happened rather quickly. There were spells fired on all sides, but before long, the leader of their group was lying dead on the floor and Zach was on the ground, clutching his left arm and blood pouring from a gash in his head.

There was a rush of movement then and before he knew what was going on, Zach found himself being fussed over by healers at St. Mungo's.

Now he felt like he was floating, smiling goofily from pain potions when he heard a knock on the door and saw Justin come in.

"Hey.." he said tiredly.

Zacharias was settling into his new office adjoining the Minister's. He wasn't sure if he had the training to be a personal secretary, but now he was Amos' assistant. So he managed his schedule and was a buffer, preventing others from bother the Minister unnecessarily. It was definitely more work than his previous job, but it put him in a better political position. Let the resistance think he was still their man for now. Soon the truth would come out. When the time was right, Amos assured him.

Zach flipped through the memos coming in, sorting what the Minister needed to see and what he didn't. He almost missed the knock on the open door. Looking up, he smiled at Justin.

"Hey. Come to check out the new office?" he asked casually.
