	Yes, thank you. This is a lovely red. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Nymphadora gave it to me. She has lovely taste in wine. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Are they settling into the new house, then? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	allandsundry 2009-11-03 01:57 am UTC (link)
	I think so, yes. Marcellus says they need more furniture. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Hmmm. I should... Well. I'll ask what they'd like. I'm doing a lot of furnishing myself. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	allandsundry 2009-11-03 02:05 am UTC (link)
	Yes, I can imagine. How is that going? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	sempre_libera 2009-11-03 02:08 am UTC (link)
	It's far more time-consuming than I'd thought it would be. I've got the living spaces mostly done, although the guests rooms will have to wait, but I've no idea what to do with the entertaining rooms. I think Mother will have ideas. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	allandsundry 2009-11-03 02:12 am UTC (link)
	Of course she will. You're planning a room for your daughter, I hope? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	sempre_libera 2009-11-03 02:15 am UTC (link)
	smiles Yes. She'll have one on the same floor as my bedroom. I'd like her to pick out some of the furnishings herself, although I've got the basics in. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	allandsundry 2009-11-03 02:17 am UTC (link)
	Oh, lovely. Do you know when she'll be arriving? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	sempre_libera 2009-11-03 02:20 am UTC (link)
	I'm still negotiating with her other grandmother. There are a few administrative difficulties to clear up and then Carolina will be released into my care. It should be just before Christmas. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	allandsundry 2009-11-03 02:21 am UTC (link)
	What a wonderful present for you and your parents. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	sempre_libera 2009-11-03 02:23 am UTC (link)
	I can scarcely believe it. I'm still... I still can't believe it's real, to be honest. I never thought things would go well again. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	takes a long sip I was so used to being an exile and so used to, it sounds so strange to say now, being among Muggles. And now it's all changed. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	allandsundry 2009-11-03 02:28 am UTC (link)
	For the better, I do hope. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I don't think I can take any responsibility for that. I've heard quite lovely things from Samuel about your work, you know. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	sempre_libera 2009-11-03 02:42 am UTC (link)
	You can indeed take credit for offering me a place in your department. I'm deeply grateful. Artefacts and assessment are a damn sight more interesting than cataloguing Muggle Renaissance ceramics. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	allandsundry 2009-11-03 02:48 am UTC (link)
	Without a doubt. Although Muggle ceramics do have less of a tendency to bite one's fingertips. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Very true. That quattrocento puzzle box caused quite an uproar. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	a laugh The look on Honoria's face! Dear. Brilliant. Another glass? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	sempre_libera 2009-11-03 02:59 am UTC (link)
	I should probably stop. I know it sounds absurd, but I could barely sleep this weekend. I was so excited to have Carolina with me. Oh goodness. I think I must have had more than I thought. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	allandsundry 2009-11-03 03:05 am UTC (link)
	Well, this is nearly two bottles now. We might as well finish this one, I say. Best to do so while Severus is out. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	sempre_libera 2009-11-03 03:05 am UTC (link)
	Oh. I thought he'd moved. He's just out, then. giggles (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	allandsundry 2009-11-03 03:07 am UTC (link)
	Not entirely. He's in the process, but there's furniture to buy there as well. Or hire. I'm not certain which he's doing. But tonight he's out with that boy I'm not supposed to know about, doing God knows what. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	sempre_libera 2009-11-03 03:09 am UTC (link)
	I shouldn't laugh, really. But yes. I'd assumed. How does he think you'd not know? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	allandsundry 2009-11-03 03:11 am UTC (link)
	I've no bloody idea. Men are so foolish, really. Oh, here. Let me top you up. (Reply to this) (Parent)
