Seeing as Wingbeat would be opening later, Finnigan's was presenting a more laid back option for Halloween this year. Dominic had magically dimmed all the rooms just a little, and they were lit with magical jack o'lanterns. A cauldron of Honeydukes' finest products waited by the door - charmed to let every customer take exactly one sweet and the bar was serving up themed cocktails, including Black Magic (Calvados, Creme de Mure, lemon juice and honey, warmed), Pumpkin Spiced Beer, Vampire Delight Martini and Departed Spirit Shot. Seamus had even cajoled Romeo into making colcannon and barmbrack for the occasion.

The roost was a little more elaborate, as usual, decorated to resemble a pumpkin field with pumpkin beanbags and cauldrons for apple-bobbing. There were apples strung up on strings from the ceiling, too, for games of snap apple.

The Den and The Corner looked much as they usually did, apart from the jack o'lanterns and a few spare 'cobwebs' in the corners. Everything was ready, and Seamus and Dominic were expecting a busy day.

"Misha, he is just a bit over one year. Tsveta, she is seven, but already I think she is acting older." Viktor grinned over at his kids, proud regardless. "Yes. I think we might do a few days in Hogsmeade, when I know there is snow, so they can play properly. Every child should get to play in the snow near Christmas. Plus the village was lovely, though I know there's been some changes since I vas there." He nodded. "Good idea. I vill have to do that. Where would I find that out, do you know?"

He nodded again. "Nothing wrong vith watching," he told her. "I haff always done much of that myself, though never able to do anything vith the watching like you." He gestured at her sketchpad and smiled. "My mother, she vould tell you, I vas a very quiet child, alvays off on my own." Shy, or at least not nearly as social as many people. A more retiring soul. He'd learned how to be more outgoing but even now it wasn't always the easiest thing in the world.

"Seven, really?" Bryony would have guessed much younger - but that was perhaps because she was thinking of Viktor as being closer to her brother in age, and Rowan wasn't even married yet. "The WWN does weather reports in the mornings, covering most of the populated wizarding areas," she said, in answer to his question. "I'm sure they'd mention snow in Hogsmeade." She liked to have the radio on while she was working, even if it had started as a habit to cover her desire for her own wireless to use to listen to Quidditch matches.

Bryony smiled, thinking that her own mother would say much the same about her - though she wouldn't mean it as kindly. "I should let you get back to spending your day with your children," she said politely, feeling that she'd taken up rather more of his time than was proper. "But I've enjoyed meeting you very much."

"I haff to admit, I count on my fingers sometimes to make sure I have it right," Viktor said with a small laugh. "She grows so fast. I only vish her father were around to see her grow." Mikhail was missed often, sometimes more by Viktor than by Tsveta these days, as she grew and remembered what felt like a little less every year. "Good to know. I'll make sure to listen." He nodded his gratitude.

"And I, you," Viktor said, giving her a little half bow and a smile. "Feel free to come to practice sometime, I think I can be trusting you not to spy for someone else," he said, a faint note of teasing in his voice. "And the game box is always open as well."
