It's just girls, all in our year: you, me and Parvati of course, Lav, Su Li and Belinda Dunstan. Pansy's coming as well. She's checking on whether Perks can come - if her foster-family will let her, I mean - and depending on whether she can or not I may ask Morag MacDougal. Mum's got this notion that we have to be paired so no one will snatch us off the streets - as if we're all still eight-year-olds or something and we'd follow a strange wizard for a lolly! It's daft, but it does rather limit things, since we want to keep things smallish and manageable.
I did see Smith! I even told Parkinson but she said that her step-father doesn't care at all, even encouraged them to nick the cigars. Can you imagine? I know what you mean about the party being dull. And Gloss House itself is so dreary, isn't it? Lav's house is ever so much more cheerful and, I dunno, attractive. If you can say that about a house. The countryside was pretty, though - but I have to admit I think we see enough of the Highlands all year round! They really needed something for us older kids to do besides either hunt eggs with the babies or stand round with the grown-ups. They could have had music, at least. It's rather odd to think of a party involving Parkinson with no music, isn't it?
Anyway. I think we're going to see if we can get our nails lacquered and there's a load of shops round the area where we're going with all sorts of amusing things to window-shop. It should be well snitch.
