DISORDER JOURNALS

2017 has been an excellent year for business—thank you to everyone for all of your support and for entrusting us with your loved ones' final rites/resting places/resting place decorations! Just remember, it's never too early (but it can definitely be too late) to start planning your final wishes. Why not make it a New Year's Resolution? Planning ahead means less stress for your family during what is already a troubling time, and ensures your wishes are fulfilled. Imagine showing up to haunt your own funeral to find out your wife's dressed you up in that horrible Hawaiian shirt you always hated? Planning it in advance could help prevent that.

We're all going to die—why not do it in style?

All of us here at E.L.M & Wizards Undertakers & Embalmers, Memento Mori Memorials, Coughlin & Coughlin Coffins, Pennyworth's Post-Mortem Photography, Fingers-R-Us, how many graveyards do we own now? and you know, all of the rest of them thank you for your patronage and hope to continue to serve you all in the coming year.

Forcing everyone in Diagon to give discounts to purebloods? I'd like to see them try that in Knockturn.

I'll give discounts to anyone I damn well please.

Also, don't mind the body in the back. Ferris just dropped him off and paid a premium for us not to ask for ID.

I'm happy to announce that Magpie Studios will be collaborating with the famed fashion house Ishtar to produce accessories for their Haute Couture show in January. The pieces will be in our Diagon Alley showroom in time for Valentine's day.

We also still have plenty of items for those of you who have yet to complete your Christmas shopping. And if you would like something a bit more personalized we also do commissions.

Unfortunately, we're not offering discounts so please stop asking.

I have everything from your list. I tried to get as much of it in bulk as I could without looking too suspicious. I'm currently keeping it in one of the spare rooms, but I can have it moved to the space in Wales if you want.

Anyone want any extra booze or something while this discount business is still going on? Might as well use it for something other than sweets and burn-healing pastes.

Good to see that the appetite for Christmas shopping hasn't completely gone! Don't forget you'll get my A+ customer service if you go WWW for your present buying needs!

WARDED TO FORMER DA MEMBERS

Hey, I guess you've all seen the -- well, the shit that's going down at Hogwarts according to multiple sources. And there's still some left there from when we had the DA, and I know they're all spending time together. Anyway, so if anyone wants to meet up with them over their school holiday I think we should and just hear them out and see what we can do to help. Even if it's just lifting their spirits a bit while they're away from the castle, but I'm sure if we all put our heads together we can do more.

Fred, George - I think you volunteered the shop as a meeting place? Any ideas as to when we should try fit it in? Some evening sometime?

Give me a shout if you're interested and I'll keep you in the loop!
