My dear Romilda,

I thoroughly enjoyed speaking with you last weekend and I would like to extend an invitation for you to join me for an evening at the Casino of Sidi al'Nasir on the 5 June.

I understand the chef has an all new chocolate concoction you might like to try.

Yours,
Rodolphus Lestrange

Romilda had been quietly stepped out the back of the bar for a break. The girls upstairs were being impossible again, and Jane just made her want to scream. Instead of letting her temper get the better of her, she would just stand out the back and count to ten, or twenty. One day she had to count to thirty just so she didn't go in there and lose her temper at the staff she was supposed to be supervising. There was no way that would help them to gain respect.

As she leaned back against the wall, she heard a bird swoop down. She'd never seen a raven up close, and was surprised to see that it dropped a letter in her hands.

She was surprised by the invitation. Of course, he had said he would invite her back to the club again, but she had thought nothing else of it all week. Thinking of the night of the fifth, that was only Tuesday.

Anthony was on late shift that night, so she shouldn't have any trouble. Now that she was in charge of the girls, she didn't need to stay to work as late.

The raven was hanging around, no doubt for a reply. For only a split second she questioned the logic of accepting a dinner invitation with the head of the Death Eaters. But she shook her head. He had been a complete gentleman, albeit flirtatious. She doubted he planned on doing anything untoward in public in London. He wasn't stupid.

She asked the raven to wait a moment as she raced back inside and penned a quick reply.

Dear Rodolphus,

I am free on the fifth to join you for dinner at the Casino, and I thank you again for the invitation.

I do look forward to trying out what the chef has to offer, amongst other things.

I'm afraid my skills at Apparition are non-existent. Is there, perhaps, a portkey that might help me make it to the club in time?

Kindest regards,
Romilda Vane.

She bit her lip in anticipation as she gave the return letter to the raven, looking over her shoulder to see if anyone spotted her. It seemed safe, and the raven was swiftly on his way.

Rodolphus leaned back in his chair and gave a satisfied smile. He hadn't been entirely sure she would say yes, whether she might think that his invitation had been nothing more than an off-the-cuff remark designed to rile Antonin.

He pulled open the drawer of his desk and pulled out a single silver sickle. It was an innocuous thing for something to carry. He used his wand to scratch an 'R' on one side then cast the portkey spell along with a timing spell.

My Dear Romilda,

I am delighted that you have accepted my invitation and I look forward to spending the evening with you.

I shall be the envy of every other man there to have such a beautiful woman accompanying me.

I have enclosed a timed portkey. Simply hold it in your hand at 7pm on the 5th and it shall take you directly to the foyer of the club where I shall be waiting for you.

Yours,
Rodolphus
