Seamus Finnigan has a bachelor pad.

[bianca.]

So.

[sasha.]
Hey, you! How's it goin?

[bianca.]
Hey, you up? I need to run something by you.

[sasha.]
Hey, Sash! It feels like I haven't talked to you in days, which is actually fairly accurate seeing as how it actually has been days. I don't like it even a little bit. I'm demanding your entire day on Saturday. We'll go do something fun.

[ritchie.]
Greetings and salutations!

[Bianca, Sasha, Polly, Mona, Ginny, Vicky, Morag, Hannah, Francis, Dean.]

Hey, guys! Sorry that the details are coming to you so late in the week but at least you have them before Saturday?

ANYWAY. We're going to say 6pm as a starting time, if that works for everyone. It's going to take place at Bianca's house. If you don't know how to get there just let me know and I'll send along directions. Mona suggested everyone playing instruments, so bring one if you have them! There's going to be enough food to feed an army so show up hungry!

Bianca, Sasha - If I missed anything, let me know. If the rest of you have questions just ask! I'll see you all tomorrow night!

[bianca.]
Hey.

Look, I talked to my mum yesterday about the party and things and I told her about how you and I sort of had it out the other day. She told me that I was being a man, whatever that means, and then she called me obtuse. She then apologised and told me that acting like a man and being obtuse were the same thing and she didn't want to confuse me.

In any case, I realise now that I offended you and I apologise for not seeing that earlier. I should have just left well enough alone but instead I went over your head and did what I wanted and that was unfair. I'm not the only one planning this thing for Ritchie and I shouldn't be disregarding your opinions. That's not what friends do, and we are friends.

I hope that you can accept my apology and I'm sorry that I upset you.

[Bianca, Sasha, Polly, Mona, Ginny, Vicky, Morag, Hannah, Francis, Dean.]
Hey, guys. Bianca, Sasha, and I were talking and we thought that it might be a good idea if we did something for Ritchie. We thought a small gathering of friends that he could play some music for. I ran the idea by him and he thinks it's good. You lot are who he wants invited, but it's all right if you can't come or whatnot. Just let me know! We're aiming for next Saturday evening. There will be food and stuff but if you can think of anything you want to bring, go for it.

The only thing that's really important is keeping this whole thing extra quiet. We don't want Death Eaters showing up so the less we talk about this, the better. Obviously we can all talk amongst ourselves, let's just refrain from public announcements and such. It's going to be a lot of fun!

[bianca + sasha.]
I talked to Ritchie. He's on board.

[ritchie.]
I have an idea that I want to run by you, if you have a minute.

[dean.]
Hey, I forgot to tell you that I'm up at mum's for the night but there is food from the godmum in the icebox if you're hungry. Mum insisted that she bring you a plate so if you haven't already found it, now you know.

Things got a little heated in Tristan's entry earlier. You all right?

[ritchie.]
Hey, Ritchie.

[bianca.]

Hey.

Upon reflection, that last thing I wrote was a bit rude. I should not have called the Death Eaters cowards. That was very unkind of me. Alcohol makes me say crazy, crazy things. As an apology I will consider sending biscuits. Or maybe a bar of soap, as I'm sure things are getting a little dirty out there. Just one though. You need to learn how to share.

And some muscle rub for the old guys. I'm talking to you, gramps.

Cheers from the city.

You know what I love? Cowards. Not sure if you know any? Let me help you out with an example of a coward. Let's say there's a group of people with shite morals. Let's say this group of people KILLS PEOPLE and then they RUN AWAY and hide in the woods. Best part? Their targets are kids. Kids that are a few years past puberty. Kids who haven't even had a chance to understand what it means to live. Kids. Does that make you feel powerful, attacking people who are so much younger than you? Is that what you've resorted to? Wizards who once struck fear into the hearts of the world are now plotting around a camp fire, wondering how they'll strike next.

Here's to you, men and women of the outdoors. I hope you run out of firewood.

My godmother decided that she and I were going to bake all day because that's how she deals with stress, so I have more cookies than I know what to do with if anyone is hungry. I didn't bake them so they taste good.

[mwp.]

I'm opening the pub up tonight for as long as people want to hang out. Drinks are free and I've got some nibbles and things. Come alone, bring a friend, bring twenty friends.

Let me know if you need directions.

Motherfuckers.

[bianca, richie, & sasha.]
It hurts when rocks fall.

[sasha.]
Hey, Sash. Are you going to the trial tomorrow?

You know what? Silly question.

Do you want to sit with me? I'm not going to testify but I want to go and I don't want to sit alone like a lump.
