Oh, that was wonderful. Every second of it. Warm and familiar and quick and so, so real. The little things, Tonk's not understanding a woman falling in love with an older man (heheh) and the joke about reasons Sirius won't live to be 40, and the political discussion and war talk (especially the Alan bit!) all of it just made this chapter so meaningful and still, it really felt like a dinner party. Very well done. :D
