Private message to Harry and Granger

[alt_draco]

Harry, I know I was non-committable on Hydra's invitation yesterday, mostly because I still don't much fancy the idea of having tea in some ramshackle Camden shop with a relation I scarcely know, but see here, I've had second thoughts. I think we ought to go.

Do you think you can get leave from Buckingham? And bring Granger? I have something else to give to her, but if you don't think you should bring her then I suppose I'll just give it to you to give to her.

It's not really ramshackle at all, it's quite cosy. And they have interesting things on the shelves, or at least they did over the summer. Your mother even found something there one time, I remember. I think you'll like it.

And the Pondses are nice people.

Harry wants to come so yes, I think we'll manage it. Why, what else did you find?

Did you forget I have my discerning and exclusive reputation to uphold? Though I suppose if Mother can enjoy her visit, so can I.

I never said they weren't nice. I'm sure that they are. They rather have to be.

I found another set of boxes. Well, one half of a set. Harry should have the other, somewhere. They were given to us as Christmas gifts when we were twelve, from Regulus Black.

Well, I don't think your mother took tea or anything. Just went shopping.

What do you mean they have

You've got another set? That's marvellous! Are they really the same sort of thing? Do you think they were made with the same properties? Then I'd you'd really be able to tell things about how they work.

I wonder where Harry put his? I'll have to look.

Of course she didn't take tea. Mother doesn't take tea in places like that. Not that you do, in fact, know particularly much about my Mother.

They look like they have the same craftsman, so I expect that they also transport items, though we'll have to find Harry's to know for sure. That gives us four boxes, then, though I'm still wary of the other, more recent ones.

Yes, do have a look for it. It's more square in shape than the other one, with a circular pattern carved on the lid.
