London today
Dec. 29th, 2010 08:44 amIt was quite a nice Christmas at the Brown's. Mrs Brown hosted dinner on Christmas Eve, and I don't think I've ever been anywhere so crowded on the holiday. Usually Daddy and I I almost wanted to escape into the kitchen for awhile to help with the serving, but Mrs Brown said of course that sort of thing was only for mudblood servants and I mustn't shame her by doing such a thing. So I tucked myself in a corner with my punch glass and simply watched everybody until dinner was served.
I never knew that egg nog could turn some people's noses so red, or make their voices so loud.
I received some lovely gifts on Christmas morning. Mrs Brown got me some robes, a very nice blueish grey that she said she picked because they should bring out the colour of my eyes. I thought it was ever so nice of her to notice a detail like that. I think that on the whole that Mr and Mrs Brown liked the watercolour of their house I painted for their Christmas gift, although I heard Mrs Brown say she'd never seen such strange colours.
Today, Mrs Brown is taking me to London. We are going to spend the morning standing in line to see the traitor's body, because it's important that everyone see what happens to enemies of the Protectorate, but she thinks we'll probably be done by about noon or so. Ginny, I know it's late notice, but do you think you could get away to meet up with me in Diagon Alley? Mrs Brown plans to stop in at several of the after-Christmas sales and said she can spare me for an hour if I would like to meet up with a friend. I suppose it wouldn't be enough time to do something like go to the ballet, like Lavender and Padma did last Thursday afternoon, but we could meet at Fortescue's for hot chocolate or ice cream.
