Two favours to ask...
I'm to have lunch with Mrs Malfoy on Tuesday, and I haven't a clue what to wear, and my wardrobe does desperately need a bit of updating. Do you have any suggestions on where to shop on Monday? (I'd planned to stop in somewhere while I'm in New London, but this obviously puts a bit of urgency into the choice...)
I've got a bit in savings from the YPL work, so for once money isn't the first thing (though I'd prefer a couple of unexciting but usable robes to one that I could only wear a couple of times before people noticed.) What would you suggest that would be suitable for a nice lunch or dinner somewhere, but not need too much attention during the school year?
(Dear Merlin, please don't tell Diana, or I'll be deluged with fashion magazines and advice from her and all of her friends. And you know that they've all got such odd ideas of colour.)
Second, related to the first favour: could you send that copy of that etiquette guide you like by owl this week, so I can review it? I can't imagine Mrs Malfoy lunching anywhere that isn't quite public, and I'd obviously like to make a good impression. I feel tremendously out of practice, especially since I've been eating most of my meals in my room due to the observation schedule.
(And avoiding that certain someone, too, yes. Not that he's made a lot of effort to try and catch me thus far. I did pick up a small gift for him, but I'm still not sure if I'll actually give it to him or not. We'll see.)
Dad said in his latest owl that the connection I'd put him onto for the Sing Amis came through - not any of the rarer ones, but several of the dragons. I'm glad to have helped, and far better than my trying to track them down from here. I've got your previous list of things for the stockings and such, but let me know if you've any additions before Sunday.
Love,
A
