RP: Catching up with a friend. When: 3 January, 2004 Who: Kenneth Towler, Jemma Dorny Where: The Alexander Private/Public: Semi-Public Rating: PG Summary: Kenneth decides to drop in on Jemma following yesterday’s Daily Prophet.
Kenneth arrived at The Alexander before the evening crowd would filter in but late enough that Jemma would be up and about. He knew her penchant for sleeping late and although it was tempting to arrive in the morning and knock on the front door of her flat, he knew better than to do so if he wanted to avoid a cranky witch who would more than happily hex him for waking her up.
Ordering a scotch, he asked a barman he recognised to let Jemma know he wanted to speak to her and waited for her to come and see him. He didn’t think she’d be long and so he remained standing at the bar, taking a sip of his drink and noticing that the place seemed quiet even for an afternoon.
He hoped it was just a lack of money putting people off, not the Daily Prophet article.
