Gilderoy was coming over, I was terribly excited, there seemed to be an absolute lack of social events. I, personally, blamed the awful war, how could one possibly hold a nice party when there was a risk of being blown to smithereens? I had stocked up on alcohol, and put on one of my nicer dresses.

Ooh, "I'm coming, Gilderoy!" I ran to the door, pausing before I opened it. "What did we drink at Hogwarts? Sorry, precautions, precautions."

The sound of a friendly voice made me smile.
"Take your time." I glanced nervously down the corridor and hoped she wouldn't. "And, I think it was Apple Martinis, wasn't it?" Ah the good old days back at Hogwarts. Care free, easy living. I sincerely wanted house-elves to cook for me now, my own mixtures were generally atrocious.

Apple martinis, I should get one of my elves to make me one, I thought to myself as I opened the door, a smile across my face. "Gilderoy, don't linger outside, do come in." I quickly yanked him inside, I really didn't like leaving the door open for too long. One might end up inviting in someone quite unsavory.

With a trip and a stumble, I entered Rita's apartment. She shut the door quickly behind me and a small wave of relief washed over me.
"Good thinking." I stood there for a moment and just took her in. A smile broke over my face, and not the fake one reserved for press photos (which were thin on the ground these days), but my real one - and I can honestly say I haven't the faintest idea what that one looks like; I never agonized in front of the mirror for that one.
"Rita, you look stunning, as usual." And she did. Her hair was wrapped close to her head in tight little curls and she was wearing an exquisite little cocktail dress. "You've no idea how glad I am to see you." I could feel my turn of phrase wending its way back to me already.
