!network post, bill weasley, percy weasley, rhy maresh

A bit late, but thanks to Rhy and Alucard for hosting a great party. I think that's the most I've talked or danced at a party since ~~my wedding~~ [...] well, in a while.

[Rhy Maresh]

Not even on topic, but I sort of got my tent from when I was staying in Egypt. It's a wizarding tent, so it's bigger on the inside. In case the trip involves any camping. I can put up wards so no one can spot us if necessary, keep people away and all.

[Family + Remus]

Who's willing to help out with perhaps some portkeys to save on the cost of travel? I know I'm pretty much back to myself for the most part magically speaking, but I don't want to make a mess of it just in case.

You're very welcome, Bill, and I am so glad you enjoyed yourself.

BILL

Oh! That's fantastic. I meant to get back to you about Egypt, but I got so busy planning the ball that I forgot. Did you look into the [...] what did you call them [...] keyports?

I did, thanks. No complaints here. Then again, no Weasley complains about parties or events where a lot of food is readily available.

RHY

It's all right. I figure everyone's busy settling into new routines and the like. And if ball planning is anything like wedding planning, I totally understand. Portkeys. Haven't asked, but I know I can get them. It's just a matter of making sure we have the coordinates for somewhere that's a bit away from things. Don't want to be seen arriving out of thin air. Also, might want to try a portkey before then so you know what to expect with it.

There is always plenty of food at my parties. And I saw how much food we went through at the ball on the cruise. I was prepared.

BILL

Having never planned a wedding, I couldn't say. But I am very intense about planning parties, parades, and tournaments. It's been the main thing I've thought about for the past month.

I'm also happy to make other travel arrangements, but if portkeys are easy for you, I'm willing to try them. I've traveled by magic before, if that helps. And if there is a cost for them I would of course be willing to pay. And if you're handling the travel, I would be happy to book us lodgings.

Yeah. I've seen people who could out eat a Weasley. It was a very original experience.

RHY

It's a lot. Especially with my mum. Didn't have much chance to throw parties otherwise. I'm the oldest of seven. I think a wedding was about all the party I was getting. We had it at the house in the backyard. It was nice, though.

Don't know much about muggle transportation outside of the cruise. But as long as you know not to lock your legs or hold your breath for some reason, you should be fine. You don't have to worry about the cost of it. It's part of the friends package that I just decided on right now.

There are quite a lot of active and powerful people here, they need their sustenance.

BILL

Seven! I'm a little jealous. I was an only child until my parents adopted my brother. Not that we didn't have plenty of fun, but I can't imagine the kind of trouble you could get up to with seven of you.

I'll remember that. Do you have any recommendations for lodgings? Or did you prefer to camp? I've never really been able to travel, so any new experience sounds wonderful to me, and I don't have a strong preference.

Yes. I'm sure Mum's glad she didn't have to worry about that.

RHY

Well, Percy aside, the lot of us got into a lot of trouble. I'd perfected the art of "Well, I don't know where they went. I'm not their keeper, am I?" while they hid somewhere usually in the room or elsewhere that I actually knew.

I camped mostly because we were working with the pyramids. I really don't know what to offer up. Admittedly I'm not very up to date on the lodgings situation outside of that. When I got home, I stayed at the Burrow until Mum and Dad gifted us some family Cottage by the sea. So all I know is quite a few years of camping or the Burrow or Shell Cottage. Well, the rooms on the cruise were pretty fancy, I guess. I'm far more useful when it comes to budgeting and financial concerns than anything, but I can see what seems reasonable.

It is no small feat, making enough food for all these people. I'm grateful that I could pay someone to do it for me.

BILL

Ha, smart. You're such a good brother.

I've been trained in how to keep finances for the palace and the kingdom, but personal budgeting is new for me. My family has always been fairly lucky with wealth. It feels different spending the money here, though, since this all is [...] a vacation, I suppose, and I'm trying not to spend it needlessly. I've no need for luxurious accommodations, so anything modestly comfortable will suit.

I can only imagine.

RHY

It's what being the eldest of seven means.

Then I suppose we can look around. My entire family has offered to help with the portkeys. So if you need any for your other destinations, then you should have plenty of people willing to make them for you.

It was a wonderful evening, wasn't it? The decor, the food. Perfect in every way.

[Second Filter]

I know how to make portkeys. I learned the spell as part of my duties working in the offices of the Minister of Magic. Is there someplace you'd like to go, or are you asking in a general sense? It would be very nice to see London again, even though there's no Wizarding World to speak of.

I'm glad to hear you're doing better. Is there anything you need?

It was, definitely. I appreciated it.

SECOND FILTER

I know how, but I guess I'm trying to avoid something that will hurt me. Uh. Actually, Rhy invited me to come with him and Alucard to Egypt. I'm not certain exactly when we're going, but I can ask easily enough if he has an idea of it. I'd be happy to visit places outside of that as well if anyone wishes to.

Yeah. I can do most of what I could before. I'll work on the rest of it.

Egypt! How exciting! Of course, it won't be exactly the same as we know it, but I remember our family trip there very fondly. Do you know of any other details? Where you'll go, and for how long? Be sure to take photographs!

No. It won't be, but it's been a while since I've been back and I am hoping to see some things I haven't before. I believe I'm meant to help in the choosing of where. I'm taking them to see the pyramids, of course. The rest of it, I'm figuring out. I'm planning on photographs. Do you want me to bring anything back with me?

Stubbornness is the reason I'm where I am now, but I'll ask for help when I need it.
