Order Only: Last Night
Apr. 11th, 2015 03:14 pmAll right, so that was some party. I mean, I thought Siz's wedding was I know some people have really expensive parties all the time, but this was totally amazing. As good as any of the public entertainments they put on in New London--y'know, like the Twelfth Night or Freedom Day faires where they have tents that they trick out like it's an Arabian harem or an underwater palace in Atlantis or a Greek temple or wotever. But Marlborough house is...it's a private house, y'know? And they'd made it look like the inside was a forest with glades and clearings and thickets and caves and one room had a waterfall in it! And that's on top of the house itself being... I can't even describe it. I mean, I've been to Buckingham the once, and it was the same. Dead amazing inside, but
Er, nevermind. I've just never really been in a place like that, alright?
Anywiz, I was mostly in Harry's robe pocket last night, though I did slip out into a bank of fern for a while because I heard Braithewaite say something to Travers about Fenrir Greyback. So, you remember that Greyback had a whole troop of half-transformed werewolves in the parade after Christmas. Even though it was daylight and wasn't the right time of the moon. And then Remus found out the Ministry've been experimenting on werewolves, well, yeah. I reckon that project's been a giant success. Voldemort's using them now to snuff out traitors and frighten the snot out of people. Like hit wizards only more gruesome, if you see what I mean. I guess Braithewaite's been in on it for a while and Travers had just gone along for the first time with 'her', which totally meant Auror Lestrange even though they didn't say so. Anywiz. The funny thing is they're both dead glad it's not Inferi they're working with. Someone's always got it worse, I guess.
That was the most interesting conversation I heard. That and the end of somebody's conversation about fiddlehead ferns coming in from somewhere to Borough Market and some people getting poisoned. Mostly everything else was just people chatting each other up.
Speaking of which. Did the rest of you see Zabini with Susan Spinx? I don't think he came with her--or, um, arrived with her--but he was definitely getting off with her in one of the fairy bowers. I mean, loads of people were getting seriously friendly with other people, weren't they? That's one of those things a snake can tell without looking, in case you wanted to know.
