| Harry and Mandy's flat, 1 week after the Trio's meeting at the Hog's Head |
| Public |
|
Mandy had been sitting by the window, looking at a preview catalogue of this fall's dress robes from her favorite designer when two owls flew in. One was unmistakably Daphne's and the other looked like one of Hogwart's loaner owls. She took both letters and then shooed the birds out. "Harry," she called, "You've got an owl from the castle." Judging by the writing, it was the ghost. Mandy chucked it unceremoniously onto the side table and opened Daphne's letter.
When Harry came in, she beamed at him. "Daphne says that Triny's little elfling will be fully trained and available for purchase in a month! It's a little female! I've been thinking of getting a cottage, and anything bigger than this flat will really need an elf. How great is this?" she rambled quickly, completely forgetting about Hermione's owl, which said:
Dear Harry,
I've gone over my research again, and I have come to the conclusion that Mandy and I really must resolve our grudge. It's better to be safe than sorry, and I would hate to lose the opportunity to pass on due to some silly disagreement. Would you be willing to arrange a metting for us and coerce her into attendance?
-Hermione
PS How are the Runic transcriptions going?

Mandy considered it from an academic standpoint, comparing what she knew of ghosts and what she could infer from what Harry was saying. She might be a fashionista, heiress, and real estate agent, but she was also a Ravenclaw and had been Head Girl.
"So, she's resolving all ties to this world including grudges she holds? I mean, she's not trying to make up with Malfoy, Lestrange or anyone else with a blind prejudice against Muggleborns, but she is trying to make up with me. It must be people with whom she's had personal disagreements. Am I right?" she said with a clear interest now. At least, she was academically interested which seemed promising.
