Madam Rosmerta has cleared away most of the usual tables and booths. There are still a few small tables scattered around the large room, and a cheery fire is crackling in the fireplace. Along one wall are long tables loaded with tea sandwiches, scones, petit fours, candies, biscuits and other rich treats. On the opposite wall there is tea with all the accoutrements, a fountain type punchbowl, and coffee for those who prefer it to tea. Butterbeer is also available on request.
The tables hold bouquets of early spring flowers -- snowdrops, narcissus, and crocus in pink, yellow and white. There are soft yellow, pink, and white ribbons on the candle sconces, as well.
In a back room, the models from Gladrags are bustling around, changing into the various cloaks and robes they will be showing the attendees. They can't be seen, but it is possible to hear their indistinct chatter.
After checking the arrangements with Madam Rosemerta, Ginny stands near the door, nervously waiting for Emma to show up, and worried about whether the party will come off well, and very excited about her friends meeting each other. She's dressed in an aqua green Muggle dress with small yellow flowers, and wearing the new silver snitch necklace Harry gave her.
((While screened for female characters under the age of 30, the Three Broomsticks is a public facility, so it is possible for other characters to crash the party. It'll be a lot easier if they're disguised as a female under thirty, though. *wink*))

Date: 2006-03-12 05:28 am (UTC)Oh, but I wasn't joking, Emma! I know you keep saying you don't intend to marry, but what if someone truly worthy of your beauty and intelligence happened to come here? You wouldn't pass on the opportunity to be with someone you could share a lifetime of happiness with, would you?no subject
Date: 2006-03-12 05:31 am (UTC)*Patiently and kindly* I have already spoken of this with you, Ginny. Falling in love is not in my way or my nature. I truly do not see its benefit outside of marriage, and marriage would not greatly benefit me.no subject
Date: 2006-03-12 05:37 am (UTC)*sighs under her breathe* I'm sure there's someone, somewhere whom you'd find beneficial. You don't mind if I introduce you to new people who can become your friends, do you? *totally intends to fix Emma up, anyway*no subject
Date: 2006-03-12 05:40 am (UTC)Why, of course. I could never say no to making new friendships, especially to young ladies.no subject
Date: 2006-03-12 05:43 am (UTC)Oh, that is good! *notes the emphasis on young ladies, and decides Emma must be more gay than bi, as she originally thought* I was going to introduce you to Ms. Skeeter, but she's apparently otherwise engaged at the moment. I have to meet her back here in town on business next week, though. She might be a bit uncomfortable if I actually brought someone with me, but you could always happen to find us here, and join us. She's very much in need of ... female companionship.no subject
Date: 2006-03-12 05:45 am (UTC)Oh, the poor woman. Of course I will meet her, for your sake.no subject
Date: 2006-03-12 05:48 am (UTC)*delighted smile* Thank you, Emma! I think you'll find her, hmmm, intellectually stimulating. She's quite nice looking, as well. Though she could use some help with the way she dresses. I think you'd be a very good influence on her! Entitled might be one way to describe her, which only means she needs taking down a peg, but silly is one thing she most definitely is not.
