It was a mild evening, and though dusk had only just begun to settle, the fairy lights were already twinkling in the ferns and brightly coloured flowers that were spilling from pots in between the hodgepodge of furniture Melinda and Cho had gathered through the past couple of years they had lived here. Off to the side, against the wall to the neighbours, was a table with a buffet of various finger foods. As promised, Melinda hadn’t baked for tonight, however she hadn’t held back when she had moved the best of the leftovers from the shop to the always accessible cooler right next to the buffet. Cho, it seemed, had also gone all out and had held true to her word when she had said she would pick up the best mixing to make a punch that would have people dancing all night.

The punch did indeed pack quite a, well, punch, and with the punch bowl surrounded by bottles of beer, liquor and juices, along with bowls of both fresh and frozen fruits as well as a number of other drinks mixings and trimmings, Melinda would be surprised if anyone couldn’t find something they liked.

Before the guests had arrived, the girls had redone the Charms and Wards on the garden to allow the guests, who didn’t come up the three flights of stairs, to arrive either on broom or by Apparation, as well as keeping the upbeat music – that was loud enough to be fun, but not so loud as to drown out conversation – from bothering the neighbours.

Already people were dancing, and Melinda had had more hugs and kisses than she could count. With a bright smile she grabbed her drink, and waved at Cho; this was going to be a great evening.
