"Nah," Rus looks disgusted. "Too many people about. I've been to Birnum Wood though." He looks surprised. "You don't? We're from the North-west Lake District."
"It isn't going to be alive," Rus rolls his eyes. "Why green?"
"That makes sense," he nods. "Then I'm sure there's a department that does nothing else but wand monitoring and spell refreshing." He nods thoughtfully. "I suppose you're right. Good for the house too."
"You could diversify," Rus says, trying to be helpful. "Tea shop in the front and your apothecary in back."
"They wouldn't know, I'd do it so quickly," Rus protests. "Besides, they aren't looking for us any more. I doubt they'd notice." He considers briefly. "Well, all right. Polar bears will work. Make them huge!" He holds his hand off the ground as high as it will go above his head. "Like that. And make them snuffle horribly!"
Thank you! Q did a 'happy new year' post. Oh lor! Probably a combination of all of those. Hopefully, it ended shortly after midnight and now her ears are ringing! And...today she's gone! YAY! :D
