My townhome, Cottesmore, in New London -- Ekaterina Petrovna would turn up her nose at me if I were to host us anywhere else. I can assure you she is more than adequate chaperone to protect your reputation; no one would dare insinuate she was involved in anything untoward.
The invitation will include date, time, and pertinent details. You needn't dress in anything but your Hogwarts robes. She is, I'm afraid, rather a stickler for the customs of the old country when it comes to tea, but she will not expect you to know them; however, should you wish a primer beforehand, I am happy to deliver it. (If I can remember the customs myself; it has been a good thirty years since the last time I put on the show.)
I've had a quick glance around my office library and cannot lay my hands on a reference immediately, but I am certain I own something suitable. Let me look further. A caution, however; Ekaterina Petrovna is not impressed by those who pretend more in-depth knowledge than they have. It is better to admit to her your ignorance than attempt to convince her you are more experienced than you are.
