George surveyed the kitchen counter critically, wondering if there was enough Firewhiskey. They didn't have much, for some reason, and he could only hope that one of the guests would arrive with a bottle or two. Although, he thought briefly, given the grim atmosphere hovering over all of them most of the time now, he wasn't sure how many people would actually feel safe enough to venture out and attend their little shindig. Fred was downstairs, warding the shop and the street entrance to the flat, in fact. All the guests had been told to arrive via Floo, as it was marginally safer than walking through the Alley late at night now.
Shaking his head to clear it of the gathering - and uncharacteristic - negative thoughts, he set about finishing the food preparations, such as they were. A few bags of crisps were shaken out into bowls, some pretzels and popcorn likewise, and that, as they say, was that. Just as he finished, he heard Fred's footsteps pounding up the stairs and his voice calling out that he was heading to his bedroom to change. Immediately after, he heard the whoosh of the Floo. Calling over his shoulder as he fished around in a cabinet for some clean glasses, "Welcome, whoever you are, to the birthday party of the year - presents on the table! Alcohol in the kitchen!"
