Who: Dan and OPEN!

What: Birthday Party

When: Tonight at 7

Where: Dan's flat

Rating: ?

Status: Ongoing

It wasn't billed as a birthday party because Dan really hated calling attention to the fact, but it was what people knew it to be anyway. He had set up tons of food in a corner (not just finger food either, real food, to help people keep drinking for good times), and drinks in the other. The master bedroom was warded from intruders although the guest bedroom was not- at this point, Dan figured he'd just do his mates a solid- and there was music playing from an unseen source.

WHO: Justin and Parvati
WHEN: Wednesday at lunch (backdated slightly)
WHERE: Justin and Wayne’s flat.
WHAT: Coworkers having lunch on Justin’s day off.
RATING: PG
STATUS: done!

( He got off at 8, then napped. )

Who: Parvati and Lavender

What: A long-overdue conversation

When: Saturday evening

Where: Their home

Rating: SFW

Status: Ongoing

It was funny, Parvati thought, in sort of a morbid way. She didn't know when she stopped feeling like a Gryffindor, but it must have been years. It wasn't until she was confronted with a scary concept that Parvati realized: you're a bloody Gryffindor, bloody act like it already.

Funny that it had been a Hufflepuff who helped her realize it.

Parvati sat at the kitchen table, drumming her fingers nervously next to her untouched mug of coffee. Lavender was coming home, and Parvati was going to tell her. And then...who knew.

Owl to Neville Longbottom
Hi Neville,
Can we meet for lunch or dinner sometime? I wanted to talk to you about something.
Parvati

Owl to Justin Finch-Fletchley
Hi Justin,
I know I'll see you at work but I was wondering if you wanted to grab a coffee or something.
Parvati

Thanks for the other night. You're a real friend and I appreciate you putting up with me.

note spellotaped to Lavender Brown's bedroom door
I need to tell you something.

Owl for Harry

Merry Christmas, Mate! I had no idea what to get you for Christmas. You are hard to shop for, I admit and my fall back was a tie.

Instead, how about we have dinner together? My treat?

Neville


Owl for Hermione

*Included with the Christmas card is a voucher for Loop.

Merry Christmas my dear Hermione,

I didn't know where you shop for your wool, so I went to Loop. It's at 15 Camden Passage, Islington,
London.

Maybe we could even go together if you want.

Love,
Neville


Owl for Parvati

Included is a voucher for Foxglove

Merry Christmas Parvati!

I hope this will help sweeten your life. I know you are working a lot lately, so I wanted to treat you.

Much love,
Neville


Owl for Lavender

Hey there, lovey!

I owe you an outing to the spa, so book a date and I'll take you wherever you want for a weekend. Just you an me, unless you want to open the invitation and share. I think after the Holidays are over we'll all need the rest.

Love you,
Neville


Owl for Ginny

Included, a considerable voucher for Spinwitches

Merry Christmas Ginny!

I didn't think you'd need an other care kit and I know very little about Quidditch except that you are amazing, so I wanted to help out.

Much love
Neville


Owl for Lisa

The card is attached to a basket of Honeyduke's best candy.

Merry Christmas Lisa!

Don't eat them all in one sitting, it's a bad idea. Haha.

Neville


Owl for Andrew

Included is a voucher for Yamaha Music London and a Sugarquill.

Merry Christmas Andrew!

I didn't know where to get your gift, so I pulled some strings and I hope this will please you.


Neville


Owl for Luna

Included in the card is a voucher for Foxglove

Merry Christmas Luna,

I hope you are spending a nice holiday so far and that this will sweeten your life a little.

Much love,
Neville


Owl for Lucy

A very Merry Christmas to you Lucy. I hope you are having fun and I promise to go see at least two movies with you.

Who: Alicia, Andrew, Emma, Ginny, Harry, Hermione, Lavender, Myron, Neville, Oliver, Parvati, Ritchie, Romilda, Victoria (ALL THE GRYFFINDORS)
What: Gryffindor Reunion!
When: Sunday, 6PM
Where: Harry's Flat
Rating: SFW? (Harry hopes)
Status: In progress

Kreacher had essentially kicked Harry out of his own flat all day while the house elf cooked and prepared for the Gryffindor dinner. He'd offered to help, which only insulted Kreacher further. Rather than offend his houself, he'd done the only sensible thing and left.

When Harry returned back to his flat, the place smelled great! The majority of his furniture had been miniaturized and stored in Harry's bedroom while the dining table had been enlarged to accommodate for all the additional guests he would be having.

Just before six, a knock on the door sounded. The house elf stuck his head out of the kitchen and said, "Master Harry, Kreacher has everything under control. Go answer the door."

Owls sent to: Hermione Granger, Lavender Brown, Ritchie Coote, Emma Dobbs, Victoria Frobisher, Andrew Kirke, Neville Longbottom, Parvati Patil, Alicia Spinnet, Romilda Vane, Ginny Weasley, Oliver Wood -- and, reluctantly on Hermione's part, Myron Wagtail.

An Invitation To Sunday Dinner

on behalf of H. Potter & H. Granger

Masters Potter and Granger invite you to join them for dinner catered by Kreacher.
24B High Street. Hogsmeade Village. 18:00.

Menu:
- Roast Beef
- Yorkshire Pudding
- Roast Potatoes, Carrots, & Broccoli
- Shaved Brussel Sprouts Salad
- Assorted Biscuits

RSVP via owl so Kreacher knows how much to make.

Bringing your own food will be a personal offence to Kreacher.

You may bring alcoholic beverages.

Sincerely,
Kreacher

Who: Hermione Granger & Parvati Patil
What: Finally socialising face-to-face. Hermione passes on some gossip.

The following packages arrive early morning:

Owl to Neville



Neville,

Thank you so much for showing me your apartment. I loved it, and I think you and I will get along really well, but I've decided to go with Parvati's. See you around the village though, and please don't hesitate to stop by Foxglove!

Megan

PS. All of this is edible!



Owl to Melinda



Melinda,

I can't thank you enough for showing me your apartment. It was beautiful and I wish I could have picked more than one like all three, but I've decided to go with someone else's. I hope you enjoy this (I tried to make something with quinces but uh. Didn't turn out so hot.) and I'll see you soon!

Megan



Owl to Parvati



Parvati,

Thanks for showing me your place! Like I told you, I was going to look at other places too, and I did, but I just could not stop thinking about yours either. If you really are okay with 50g and me helping around the house, I would love to be your housemate!

Megan

Who: Megan, Parvati, Neville, Melinda, Sebastien
What: Apartment hunting!
When: Wednesday
Where: Various places
Rating: Low
Status: Ongoing

This was the week Megan found herself a flat. This was what she told herself, anyway, and it was long overdue. She was surprised at the number of apartments available, and the people who offered to room with her. Which was great, because none of them seemed sketchy, like the offers she got when she first tried to find a room in Knockturn Alley.

She figured for this go around, the problem would be in having to pick just one from all of the options she had.

Who: Open
What: Skins vs Shirts, Game 13

Where: Hogsmeade Park

Where: Town hall / three broomsticks
Rating: Low
Status: Open!

( I've got sunshine on a cloudy day )

Hermione,

I know things between us got a little weird the last time we were in the same place for a long time, but I'm looking to remedy those things now. Want to get together and talk about books? I read some really interesting stuff during my residency, and it seems like the kind of thing you'd be interested in.

We could get cupcakes too, if you wanted.

Parvati

Who: Parvati and Isabel

What: Meeting

When:

Where: Foxglove

Rating: TBA - probably not more than PG.

Status: Ongoing

Parvati had a list of things she'd been meaning to do. Now that the practice at the clinic was up and running, her pet project started up again with a few avenues to start, Quidditch with Lavender...

...and she still hadn't gotten out much. Which was a shame, considering the cupcakery was so close by, and one of the major reasons she'd moved to Hogsmeade was to get out.

So she prayed the cupcake shop was still open, once she'd left the clinic for the evening. Lavender would kill her when she found out, but Parvati's breakfast had been a banana nut muffin, and her lunch was a fistful of peanuts and some candy. She hadn't had dinner yet, but cupcakes were for every meal, were they not?

"Hello?" she called, peering into the window of the shop. "Are you open?"
