Is it still stmargarets birthday?

Charlie proclaimed himself completely stuffed after demolishing most of dogstar101's delicious dinner.

'Time to go, then.' Girlyswot raised a finger to attract the attention of Winewaiter!Albus. 'Have you got the portkeys ready?'

'They have all been slipped into pockets as you directed earlier.'

'Excellent. Can you activate mine and Charlie's first and then everyone else in ten minutes? We just need a few minutes to...' Albus's eyebrows rose suggestively '...get everything ready. Honestly, what is it with everyone assuming that all Charlie and I do is make out?'

'If the uncomfortable Regency corset fits...'

'It doesn't,' she told him firmly, rearranging her bosom just to make Gay!Albus feel uncomfortable in return.

He averted his gaze. 'Very well. We will join you in a few minutes.'

Girlyswot landed smoothly, safe in the circle of Charlie's strong, canon arms. She allowed herself a moment just to revel in his comforting presence.



'Here we are, then. Beaufort Castle, home of Clan Fraser. Did you get everything sorted out?'

'Think so. The pipe band are over there, and the Highland dancers are waiting inside to give us a display of sword dancing. There's a range of single malts for TDU to sample and plenty of black pudding ready to fry up for breakfast. I've checked all the charms - all the men will find themselves wearing clan tartan kilts, and the women will have plaids to put over their shoulder. Oh, and everyone will find that any injuries sustained so far will be healed, leaving only the scars.'

Girlyswot looked down. Charlie was indeed wearing a bright red and yellow checked kilt with matching socks that showed off his spectacular calves. She had a matching plaid over her Regency dress. She couldn't wait to start reeling.

Good grief, this weekend has gotten away from me. *catches up*

"You're...a lawyer!" Will said, "That makes about as much sense as sending Percy Weasley."

Hmph. Kinderjedi narrowed her eyes when she recalled the conversation she’d overheard between Will and Richard, but had to concede the point. Percy would be no match for Megan. But he might be able to help locate Betty. Was that such a good idea, though? And had Napier rescued Hazel? She’d let Percy whisk her into a shadowy corner of the drawing room as soon as they’d arrived here at Beaufort Castle, so she wasn’t entirely sure where things stood.

“What are you thinking about?” Percy asked, playing idly with a curl that had worked its way loose from her elaborate hairstyle. He looked thoroughly disheveled, in his shirtsleeves with his cravat undone and glasses askew.

“Mmm, I’m trying to decide whether to rejoin the party now or wait until morning. So much has happened, I’m not sure where to jump in.”

“I believe it was mentioned there was a decided lack of snogging at this party so far. Let’s just stay here in the drawing room for now and try to rectify that, shall we?”

KJ considered their other options, but she was entirely too comfortable to join in the flangst just now. She looped her arms around Percy and planted a kiss on his lips for her answer.

LOL - the Weasleys are nothing but practical. Of course Percy would opt in with you. :)

Sometimes being practical pays off. ;)
