Dear Merlin, Dean! How you managed to make me look so... wow. When works for you? A weekday, of course, would be best... That way we can catch him at work. I'm thinking we should grab some flowers for his secretary... She's more likely to allow us to see him if we're pleasant.
So let me know what works for you. But I want it done this week.

How about Tuesday? Mondays are always rubbish, anyway - why make a bad day worse when you can ruin a perfectly good one? Flowers sound good. The poor thing is going to have to deal with a *really* cranky boss, so we really should try to ease the pain a bit.

And Ali? *I* didn't make you look anything. I just painted what was there. *You're* the one who made it "wow".

Dean,

Your flattery is outlandish. You made that whole thing come alive. Tuesday sounds great... I'll leave my gear (with extra wards) at the locker room. I'll Floo to your place and then we'll Apparate over to the Ministry? I'll also pick up the flowers. Poor girl. She must be a saint.
