Order Only: Private message to Pansy

[alt_sally_anne]

So wherever we move has to be deep enough in Order territory that we'll feel safe, not likely to turn out to be owned by muggles who are alive and want their homes back, with low enough rent that everyone can afford to live there. We need either a building full of flats or a cluster of houses close together because while the two of us can live together just fine, Ron and George sharing a flat will eventually be a disaster. If we're all sharing a building full of flats then George and Fred will need to agree not to blow the whole place up. (Or, you know, to do experiments that might result in blowing the whole place up. I realise they would be unlikely to SET OUT to blow the place up.)

But, I mean, I want to live near you. I assume Fred will want to live near George. I think Justin and Hydra might like to live nearby, and Draco and Hermione, and maybe Susan?

Is there anyone we'd want to make sure there isn't quite enough space for?

Is there anyone who has time to find something? Our fallback is to move into the Burrow until we find something else but that's really not my first choice.

I want to live near you too! And ugh, you're right, Ron and George together in the same flat would be an utter disaster.

I've got a few ideas in mind.

1.) I buy the rest of the flats in my building, and we just use that. Minus, it's in London, but plus, if we've got the whole building, we can make it quite secure. Minus, it might take some doing to track down all the rest of the owners in like a day.

2.) I buy up a building that just has one owner and there's enough room for you and Ron, me and George, Fred, Sue, Draco and Hermione, and Justin and Hydra for certain, and perhaps there's room for a few more and we see if anyone else, like if Jeremy and Ced, or Ken and Jack, or Stebs and Wayne, or Ernie and Linus want in -- that's rather a large lot -- Draco might go in on it if it's a large building), and we can all just use that. It might be simpler that way, and yeah, like #1, if we have the run of the building, we can make sure it's secure, and renovate it how we'd like, and all that. And if I own it, it'll probably be a set-up where rent is enough to cover upkeep and taxes and things, but that'd be quite low if it's split however many ways.

I can poke around either one tomorrow, just take the day and just work on that -- I think it's worth it, seeing as how the lot of you can't fit in my flat, and Merlin knows Draco would just love living at the manor.

Is there anyone you wouldn't want room for? I mean, other than the obvious -- no invite for Patil or Finnigan, ta very much. Fred might want to ask Terry if he wants in, because, you know, part of the package, all that, but he probably wants to stick close to his folks for the time being anyways, so. Lav's a bit eh, but if we're offering to everyone else in our year who isn't, you know, an utter and absolute git, I suppose it'd be rude not to extend something.

Unless we're keeping the list short -- just the ten of us, eleven with Terry.

I can look at smaller and bigger options -- a six flat building would cover the short list.
