An owl flew in the open window of the Weasleys kitchen one morning, dropped an envelope onto the open carton of eggs Molly was using and quickly flew off again. Kaity//Puff//1

"Oh!" Molly exclaimed, wiping her flour-covered hands on her apron.

Lifting itself into the air, the envelope carefully unwrapped itself, a light violin symphony softly accompanying as the letter slid out and unfolded itself.

She opened the envelope and read the letter. Kaity//Puff//2

It began: "To the Weasley family, we wish to invite you to the annual gathering of pureblood families at a currently undisclosed location until such time as you RSVP."

Molly rolled her eyes and huffed, "Always showing off."

Liz | Gryffindor

Sighing, Molly resolved to read on: "We feel it is vitally important that we few remaining pureblood families band together during these unprecedented times and wish to leave behind such distasteful terms as 'blood traitor'."

Cass|Slytherin 2

"As it is such, we cordially invite you to dine with us and your fellow blood relatives at our Manor on the eve of the Festival of Secrecy, August Thirty-Second, Two-Thousand and Thirteen."

Anah | Gryff | 2

"Oh, and we are really not kidding about the secrecy and exclusivity, so no non-purebloods need apply, as that's kind of the point of this gathering."

Cass|Slytherin 3

Molly's eyes widened as the letter continued: "Do consider this an olive branch as we're all keen to keep the old and traditional wizarding ways alive so please do RSVP in the affirmative or this message will self-destruct."

Molly sighed and pointed at the bit about "self-destruct" and looked at Arthur with astonishment as he indicated the "Yes" checkbox with his wand.

"Well..." Arthur said tentatively. "I do think it would be a good idea to build bridges, and they do seem to be trying. It's only fair we do the same."

Fairy//Hufflepuff//1

[scarletladyy.livejournal.com]

"Good." He smiled. "I'll leave you to RSVP then."

Fairy//Hufflepuff//2

Still, Molly knew deep down that Arthur was right; they did need to make amends if their new society was going to work. For the sake of their grandchildren, if nothing else.

"While I do think keeping our lineage going is...important...I think perhaps, youre going a bit overboard..." Kaity//Puff//3

Content with her words, Molly sent the response back with the owl.

"Why invite them at all?" Lucius asked with disgust when she told him Molly had accepted.

Their moods had barely increased when the eve of the 32nd rolled around, helped only by the influx of wine that Cratchley, their newest house elf, had procured for them.

Malfoy manner was lavishly decorated for such a secret party, the Weasleys thought as they approached.

Knocking the door, Molly felt simply out of place and regretted the gift she brought, thinking the Malfoys would take it as an insult.

Cratchley opened the door with a deep bow and ushered the Weasley family inside.

"Of course," Molly replied, offended by the implication.

"We brought you a honking daffodil," Arthur continued, gesturing to the potted plant in Molly's hands.

It turned out the plant wasn't a honking daffodil at all!
