Order Only: Tomorrow night

[alt_bill]

Tonks, Remus and Sirius:

I'm still planning on dropping in at the beer garden tomorrow night, but probably a little later than I had originally planned. The Ministry's holiday party is tomorrow afternoon and evening, and I do have to go. It's a bore, but I must put in the face time and schmooze, what with the recent promotion and all. The Lord Protector's speaking, too, so my presence is definitely required. The speech is scheduled for about four pm.

I think I'll be able to break away and be there by about seven.

Mum, are you joining Dad for it? (Percy's planning on being there, too, by the way.)

Oh, yes, I'm planning on going. I do rather enjoy the Ministry party every year. Although I must admit I'm a bit surprised by the change in location; I hope it won't be a terrible mistake if it snows tomorrow. What made them decide to hold it outside?

Oh, there'll be a large tent up, with strong warming charms. I gather they thought that the view over the river would be pretty, and it'll make an interesting change, I suppose.

I'll see you there then.

I'm admit I'm feeling a tiny bit glad that the cleaning staff aren't sincerely invited to that party. Not sure I could stand the schmoozing, so better you than me.

Besides, small business folk like Mr Ponds and I have got to keep the doors open so we can welcome you paying lot whenever you roll in from your first-round engagements.

(We'll be looking for you, and looking forward to seeing you.)

I'm sure I'll enjoy my time at the beer garden much more. So I'm glad you'll be open!

See you tonight.
