I Solemnly Swear That I Am Up To No Good

[alt_sally_anne]

One last outing before we all go back to school, right? Anyone coming? I should warn you that Jeremy's coming with me. He stopped pouting about not getting a quidditch day at the Burrow when I pointed out that Mrs Weasley is BEREAVED and perhaps doesn't feel like hosting yet this summer. (He wanted to organise one here but Mrs Stretton said no.) But he really wanted to come flying with us, at least.

(And one last posting before our year starts dropping off this lock. Who all has a birthday in the autumn? Hermione, yours is in September, isn't it?)

What? She

What?

Oh, Sally-Anne. How horrid. Honestly. And it's even worse because from their point of view, they're trying to be reasonable. I still want to slap her, though,

[alt_sally_anne]

Yes, she absolutely thinks she's being reasonable.

And in a lot of ways she is.

I've been thinking about it and wondering if I should recommend Megan Jones to them. Jones isn't very well connected, especially with Dolores Umbridge inside a plate. And she'd be competent enough at the sort of things they want from their staff.

True. She did get through her OWLs. And you're right that she doesn't have much else in terms of connections. Harry'd probably know more. They talk sometimes. Or Justin or Sue, of course.

That's...a pretty good idea, really. I'd never have thought of the Strettons, but it makes a lot of sense.
