hh_mirrorHi, Emma!
I thought we might get together and plan our day of tea and shopping in Hogsmeade, if you're still interested. I think it's going to be a lot of fun! Owl me back!

Date: 2006-02-25 09:02 pm (UTC)Dear Miss Weasley,
It shall be a grand adventure! We have been separated to our own circles for far too long, and I have been feeling quite desolate without the guidance of my dear friend. Indeed, we must meet promptly.
Quite happy and obliged,
Miss Emma Woodhouse

*sends an owl off with her response, grabs up the invitation she's been working on and runs to the Great Hall to meet her friend*

Date: 2006-02-25 09:38 pm (UTC)Ginny? Oh, dear Ginny! *She walks towards her, smiling easily* I am so happy to see you again. But tell me, what ever are the invitations for? Are we throwing a party?
Re: ::Screened for Emma and Ginny, only::
Date: 2006-02-25 09:43 pm (UTC)Hullo, Emma! It's great to see you again, too! Please come have a seat. I've got the House Elves bringing us some tea and cookies.
The invitations? Oh, remember we were discussing tea and shopping with some of the other girls? Well, I got to thinking that it wouldn't be very nice of us to only invite a few people, so I thought we might open it to all the ladies of the school. There's so many I haven't met yet. Do you think that would be all right?
Re: ::Screened for Emma and Ginny, only::
Date: 2006-02-25 09:58 pm (UTC)*She listens, and raises a well-shaped eyebrow* All the ladies of the school? Why, there might be one hundred in attendance! My sweet Ginny, sometimes there are certain truths in this world. Some people just do not have the qualities of others, and should not be within their company simply because of their shared gender.
*A thoughtful look appears on her face* And yet... far be it for me to turn my back to such women, instead of helping them find a brighter future. I am sorry, Ginny, you are correct. Oh, I do hope I can grow to have a heart as pure as yours! This social is an excellent suggestion... But might I suggest that we reserve a room in Hogsmeade, rather than allowing opportunity for chaos? Furthermore, there must be an age limit. At a certain point, possible ladies grow so silly and set in their ways that it is impossible to change them.

Date: 2006-02-25 10:55 pm (UTC)Would you like a biscuit now, with your tea?
*offers the plate*
Not be within their company? There are certain Slytherins who think that way, Emma. They believe only pureblood witches and wizards should be allowed here, at all. And that would be terribly sad, wouldn't it? Because then you and I would have never met!
*nibbles on a chocolate wafer while listening to Emma* Oh, yes! I'm sure there's loads of girls here who could use your help. You've got a lovely, pure heart, Emma, wanting to help people so much.
*smiling brightly* No need to reserve a room, I've asked Madam Rosmerta, and with the big crowd we've got, she's willing to reserve the whole pub for us, for an afternoon! Oh, and see, I've put on the invitation that Gladrags Wizardwear is sponsoring the tea, because Madam Rosmerta said they could put on a fashion show. But what do you mean about an age limit? None of the older ladies I know are silly at all!
More tea?
Re: ::Screened for Emma and Ginny, only::
Date: 2006-02-25 11:11 pm (UTC)Hmmm... well, the Slytherins I have met have been quite charming, I must confess. Oh, but we mustn't go on about that. This is about the ladies, after all.
I am overjoyed that you feel such, my dear Ginny! Some did say that my beed to aid others was for reasons selfish rather than selfless. Can you imagine?
Perhaps silly is a poor term. What I meant to say, was that older women seem to have their own views on how the young should lead their lives. It is quite impossible to help a dear friend with another lady trying to rationalize her own lifestyle by forcing it on others. Considering that our goals are to help young ladies into proper society, having older women with older ideas would be counter-productive, don't you think?
Yes, thank you. Would you like sugar in yours?
Re: ::Screened for Emma and Ginny, only::
Date: 2006-02-25 11:34 pm (UTC)You, selfish? How utterly ridiculous! You're one of the nicest, most helpful people I've ever met. They must not really know you very well.
*helps herself to another cookie while Emma explains*
Oh, I see. Yes, Mum tries to interfere some, at least with the boys. She adores Harry, so she never gives me a hard time over who I'm with. *gets a bright idea* Oh, but I know how to keep them from interfering, and still let them feel included! We just have to distract them. I don't think any of the older ladies are married, are they? Well, I suppose a couple of them are, like Psyche and Sigyn, but they're goddesses, so I don't think we have to worry about them. All we have to do is find matches for the older ladies, as well. *smirks*
Re: ::Screened for Emma and Ginny, only::
Date: 2006-02-25 11:53 pm (UTC)That sounds like a grand idea, Ginny. Unfortunately, we would like this to be a night for the ladies, do we not? Inviting gentlemen would just provide distractions. Shall we just... decline to send invitations to women over thirty? However, if they request to be present, we shall indulge them. After all, this social is to provide instruction, something I am certain older women have already had enough of.
Re: ::Screened for Emma and Ginny, only::
Date: 2006-02-26 12:22 am (UTC)Oh, yes, of course this is just a ladies' outing. I was going to put up a poster, rather than actually sending invitations. Can't really afford all that owl post. Maybe we could call it the Junior Ladies' something or other? Surely that would indicate that it's for the younger set? I think there's some witches guilds that do just that. And if we let the older ladies come along if they want to come to something that's been called "Junior," they'll likely just sit in the corner and gossip. They usually do, anyway.

Date: 2006-02-26 02:24 am (UTC)Why, that is quite a mouthful! But it must be clear to those attending that our preferences are for ladies. Perhaps then Junior Assembly for the Instruction of Ladies of Bright, Amusing, Intelligent Talents?
Re: ::Screened for Emma and Ginny, only::
Date: 2006-02-26 02:28 am (UTC)Emma, that's perfect! You really are quite clever! Oh, I can't wait to get a new poster made and put up by the Great Hall. I hope loads of girls come to our first meeting. There's so many I haven't met yet, like that Anne you were mentioning to me the other day. And I bet River'll come and well, this is all very exciting!
*grabs her quill and some parchment and begins redesigning the poster*
