I Solemnly Swear That I Am Up To No Good: Private message to Ron

[alt_sally_anne]

Hey, I was thinking about the wedding on Saturday, because Pansy and I tried on our dress robes and made sure they still fit and so on.

And I realized --

you're supposed to give a GIFT. To the couple. Do you have something for them? Pansy does, apparently she ordered it months ago! but I hadn't even thought about it. It's too late to knit anything, even if I could think of something good to knit that wouldn't be naff.

There's not going to be time to go to Hogsmeade, I need to find something that's available journal-order or MAYBE owl-order and I have no idea -- I mean I don't even know what would be a good gift, never mind what would be a good gift that I could afford. Pansy would let me sign my name to hers as well but it would be perfectly obvious that she'd bought it and let me sign my name to it, you know?

If you want to go in on something, that would make it easier.

Do you think a charmed pepper grinder would be utterly naff? It looks sort of nift. It grinds itself, it keeps the pepper fresh for you, it's charmed so you won't sneeze, and it walks itself down to you when you want pepper.

I think it's nift and I wouldn't think they'd already have one. They don't ALWAYS come to meals in the Great Hall, you know?

It's discounted

There's also a silver tray for receiving people's cards when they visit you, I found a journal-order place that specialises in things for people who are getting married but that's the only thing in there I can afford half of.

That's brilliant.

How much is it? I can bring you the money tomorrow if you want. Is it the kind of place you have to send the money with the order or after it comes?

And how fast will they send it?

Will it get here in time?

The pepper grinder, I mean. Not the silver tray thinger. What would anybody want one of those for?
