Danica Quinn-SmithGryffindor Alumnus │ Healer at St. Mungo's │ Proud Mother of Two │ Married to Andrew Smith
Dani was able to hold it together, just barely, for the sake of Ron and Brianna, while they were on the platform, saying their good-byes. She’d tried very hard not to sob in front of them, no matter how devastated she was feeling to see them board the train and head off to school together. It didn’t seem possible to her that her younger child was going off to Hogwarts, and yet she was doing just that. ‘Wasn’t it like last week that I was taking her to her first day in kindergarten?’ Dani asked herself rhetorically. She knew it wasn’t, but it didn’t feel that way. It took her so long to feel she was ready to even bring them into the world, and now, all of a sudden, both of them were out in it.
Almost as soon as she asked Ron to be responsible for his younger sister, she felt guilty for doing it to him. ‘I owe him an apology,’ she told herself. ‘I shouldn’t have done that to him; he’s got enough on his plate, without me adding to it. I’ll give him that apology when I send an Owl Post package to him and Brianna. Still, I’m proud of him for stepping up and saying ‘yes’ like he did. He’s growing up to be just like his father. Andy would have been pleased too.’
Thinking about Andy, she checked her phone and found there was already a message from him, and her heart sank when she read it. His emergency meeting turned into an emergency business trip; he was already on a company jet and going to one of their other facilities, and was unsure when he’d return, but it was likely not until the day after tomorrow. Dani wasn’t angry at Andy, their jobs pulled them away from home at oddball times, and she’d certainly had her days’-long shifts at St. Mungo’s. It was the timing which sucked.
Going home and making dinner for …well, one tonight was not something she’d wanted to do, and the alternatives weren’t a whole lot better. The idea of just spending the evening at the local pub was unappealing; not for any of those outdated reasons, it was just, well to her, going to the pub without Andy just didn’t feel right, because he wouldn’t be there. Ugh. She was loathe to impose upon her friends; she didn’t want to seem … desperate and lonely, even though she was exactly that.
Dani was grateful when she got Cathy’s invitation to come over for ‘girl’s night in.’ Being with old friends seemed just the ticket for her, an evening of wine, food, and laughs about old times was just what she needed. Dani popped home long enough to throw on a pair of jeans and a nice blouse, and get slippers, and a quick trip to the store to grab a couple bottles of wine, before appearing on Cathy’s doorstep. She was a little surprised to see that Bella and Andrea were already waiting there. She smiled happily when she saw them, and she chuckled aloud, “I was just thinking of the two of you.”

Danica Quinn-SmithGryffindor Alumnus │ Healer at St. Mungo's │ Proud Mother of Two │ Married to Andrew Smith
Dani couldn’t help but smile, as she saw Bella and Andrea, as she shrugged her shoulders, laughed softly, and said in a soft voice, “Probably because the one thing I really wanted tonight was to see my friends, and here you are” She started snuffling a little, and her blue eyes started glistening up with tears, though this time they were tears of joy. She hugged Bella and Andrea in turn, and she said, You guys are the best.”
When the front door opened, Dani was greeted with the image of Cathy wearing a dress which reminded her strongly of the sort worn by Holly Golightly in that old Audrey Hepburn movie ‘Breakfast at Tiffany’s’. She laughed aloud as Cathy hugged her. It always felt like it was too long since the last time she’d seen her. “Thank you, for having me over” she said. “Andy had to go out of town on company business, but he said he would have enjoyed coming over.”
Before being asked, Dani slipped her shoes off, trading them for the slippers she’d brought for the occasion; she’d been over often enough already to know how particular Cathy was in regards to the care of her carpets. While she doubted her own carpets cost as much as other folks’ houses, she understood exactly how she felt on the subject.
Upon seeing the display of goodies, Dani positively gushed, “Oh, Cathy, you have outdone yourself this time. This looks amazing. Goodness, maybe you ought to take up catering when you hang up your Quidditch cloak, this is wonderful. Let me get a picture; Andy’s going to want to see this.” Dani paused to fish out her phone, snap off a couple pictures and sent it to Andy's phone, before setting down her own contributions to the festivities. She set out a couple bottles of French merlots, along with a bottle of champagne from home, a large bag of grapes, and a small wheel of Gouda.
She drew a deep breath, and said softly, “It’s been a heck of a day.”

 Andrea Mina Hart
Natalie Lace Dufour née Kemp
Ravenclaw Alum
Potioneer at J. Pippins Potions
Pure Blood ☾ Werewolf
☽ Dating Rosabella Winthrop ☾
Location : Cathy's Flat (Fall 2056)
Company : Bella, Cathy & Dani
Bella’s joking remarks made Andrea giggle. It was nice to be considered friends with someone. Especially someone like Danica. Giving Dani a much huge she was happy to be there. That’s when Cathy answered the door to great them, tackling Danica with a huge. "Nice to see you Cathy." She greeted. Andrea hadn’t been privy to the ways of Cathy much. It became apparent as to why when she requested, they not walk on her expensive carpet with their shoes. So, she was one of those, was all Andrea thought.
Flipping off her flats, Andrea switched to her adorable animal slippers. Yes, they were practically made for children and no she did not care. Besides, who didn’t like little bouncing wolf heads. Looking around Andrea was quite impressed at the place, way more then she’d ever care to afford. Hearing Danica talk about how Andy had to go out of town, Andrea could only imagine how hard it would be having a ‘rock’ that had to go away on business.
Following Cathy to her display of goodies, Andrea was impressed. Course the main attraction was so the wine that would make a girl’s night so much better. Just don’t go spilling it on Cathy’s overly expensive rugs. “You sure know how to throw a get together.” Andrea said with a smile. It was hard to believe that the Quidditch pro had catering skills, but it was clearly something she was capable of.
Andrea could sense the exhaustion that Danica much be feeling. It had probably been a super long day for her. “You just need to unwind, have a few drinks, and get your mind off of everything.” She told her with a small smile. “How’s things with Andy?” She asked trying to start some kind of conversation that could take her mind off the trails of the day.
