Private Message to Sally-Anne

The party is so odd.

Everyone is either too quiet or too loud or too drunk and no-one wants to look anyone else in the eye or say anything important and everyone's being careful about the sorts of jokes their telling.

It sounds awful and selfish of me to say, but this wasn't how I imagined our first anniversary. Draco's and mine, I mean. Maybe it'll be better later tonight when we can go off and spend some time on our own.

Fred said that Mrs Weasley would probably be better off if she kept busy, so they've no need for Hitty, so if the Strettons start fussing, we'll just ask Hitty to help cover your shifts so that you can spend as much time as you need at the Burrow. She likes you loads and I think she was a bit put out that she wasn't wanted at the Burrow so I'm sure she'd be up for it.

That would be brilliant, with Hitty. They were SO CROSS -- well. I was afraid Mrs Stretton would confiscate my journal and I think she considered it but decided to be decent, for once. Either that or she was afraid of Harry.

The party doesn't sound the least bit fun.

I wouldn't have expected they'd be so upset. I mean none of them liked Mr Weasley.
