when: 26 May 1982 where: Alice's cottage on the outskirts of Hogsmeade who: Alice and @fidemaledicta and @afracturedstar
Alice had been getting ready all morning. Really, she’d been getting ready far longer than that, but that had been for the mission, and this was more for the people coming to her house bit. Alice would never be a hostess like her mother, she didn’t want to be, but in an odd way what Astraea Lestrange had taught her still shone through. She tried to tidy before people came over, and she liked to have food out for people to snack on. Today, she’d also pulled her little dining table into the center of the living room and opened the leaves so she could spread out the Gringotts floor plans on it. She also had some scotch, in case Sirius wanted a chaser after the polyjuice. Alice knew she would. She’d also had to shoo Frank out. Even though he knew about the mission, and had been helping her prepare by working on her Rodolphus walk and controlling her fidgeting, she wasn’t sure he was technically supposed to know. Once everything was ready, Alice had nothing left to do but sit and pet Cinnamon and munch on biscuits while she waited.
