The room is eloquent, with tapestries hanging on the wall and portraits of famous wizards and witches line the wall, willing to give their advice if you want it (or if you don't). In each corner sits a suit of armor, regal and rigid.
Unless you have reserved this room, though, you are not permitted to enter. Please direct all inquiries about the use of this room to Lucy. this room is currently: CLOSED please make a reservation at the ordering station if you wish to use this room List of previous events held in this room: ☛ Private dinner of Jared Descoteaux & Renée Bishop ☛ Private meeting of Damien Jackson, Gabriel Vartann, & Francesca Lancaster ☛ IUMO Division party ☛ 2072-2073 (Term 26) Triwizard Champions Reunion ☛ Family Tea Time Event: Teddy Bear Picnic

| *has permission from KATH* For... the hoard of RPers *points at you all* Lovely™ | Captain Hurted | Ariana's Bane | Resident Antagonist | Unparalleled Delight Daxton was already regretting insisting he could find the bathroom on his own. Or, well... technically he had found it just fine. It was just... finding his way back that was proving to be the issue. So while his mum was sat waiting for him at the table and eating her food, Daxton had managed to get himself lost. Not like it was hard; this was a totally new place, he was all kinds of tired, and making a mental map of the layout required a level mental energy he did not currently have.
Short of lying on the floor and curling up into a ball until his mum came and found him (which he wasn't far off doing), the only thing left to do was walk until he found his way back to her. Which was what had brought him to this room. Granted, Daxton actually knew for certain that he'd not passed through this door at all, but he'd taken to pushing open every door he encountered and taking a peek inside in order to satiate his curiosity, and this one was no exception.
The door opened, which didn't surprise Daxton at all, as he had no reason to expect any different. He might have simply moved on at once, but the inside was so fancy and eloquent like nothing he'd ever seen before, that the boy's jaw dropped and he walked right on in instead.
Carefully shutting the door behind him, he cast his eyes around, quite taken aback by the relative splendour of the place. At once, his attention was drawn to the surfaces, and he automatically looked for any trinkets he might be able to pilfer, while noting at the same time how very quiet it was in here. He liked it.
Keeping his footsteps soft, Daxton prowled moved about the room. He'd just caught sight of something that was practically begging for a new home (read: his pocket) when a sudden movement caught his eye. He froze in fear, but a second later noticed that he was still very much alone. But the portraits...
... the portraits were moving.

| *more pointing* ¼ of the Sisterhood of the Traveling Pls Katherine Moss was just waiting for her mum, thank you very much. She was in the Malkin's, looking at new designs and her daughter, Katherine, was eating her lunch. After the 9 year old was done, she got up to go to the bathroom to wash her hands. She got out only a few seconds after the other boy and saw him try a door he shouldn't. Couldn't he see?! It wasn't for his filthy shoes to ruin - oh, he ENTERED! She gasped, frowned to herself and went after the boy. She didn't care at all if the owner caught him or not - she was rather worried for the fact that a rule was broken.
She didn't enter, because she wasn't going to trespass. She stood by the door with her hands on her hips and glared at the boy coldly. "You aren't allowed here." She KNEW so and therefore, he had to leave. |

| <333 ∞ 17 | RP entrepreneur | defies gravity | Miss George is flawless | blanket burrito lyfe It was so exhausting to be the most responsible of ten children and not get the credit of being the oldest. Saffron Sarah Dakota Stemp was not the oldest child, but if she had been born a mere seven minutes earlier, she would have. Corbin being the oldest was probably fair though, because he smelt and was short and he needed to have something going for him if he was ever going to get married or continue their family name. (She was planning on keeping her surname if she ever found someone good enough to marry, so Corb didn't have to worry too much. And there was also Ringo. Or Maverick. And McCartney. Not to forget Sparrow and Jude too.)
Being the most appreciated child, of COURSE, Saffy had been treated to lunch and some sweets in Diagon Alley with her grandparents after an amazing gymnastics class. She'd gotten into a little fight with one of the WORST gymnasts E VER !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! But fights at her gymnastics class couldn't be fixed by storming over to her bag and wielding her beaters bat. That was what Nanny said. And Grandad just smiled at her, petted her hair and told her that her talent was too good to show to those that weren't blessed like she was.
It was a wonder how anyone thought that Lilah was the favourite.
Bag of sweets in her hand, little miss thaaaaaang went to go try climb one of the bar stools to ask if she could demonstrate her springy skills. Climbing with a bag wasn't the best idea she'd ever had and so she decided to just sneak to the side and find someone out back. Someone who would think she was sOOO smart for finding her way out here. It wasn't hard. The door was easy to open and she found OTHER children there. Ahem. EXCUSE ME. "I doubt your back handspring would fall in any league with mine. Tell me where an adult is."

| *hoards with silence* Talikins|Huffledor|Purple|Ted Velvet| |Lochnessie|Redhead|Bladger|⅓ Ferocious Trio It had been a long day at speech therapy and it was with puppy-dog eyes that Ethan had managed to convince his sister to take him to get another nibble of the world's best cookies. Leaky's cookies had to have been Ethan's favourite and without a doubt he would do almost anything to be rewarded with such a treat, perhaps even utter the odd word here and there to a stranger. This would have been something huge for such a quiet fella.
Following Ness, very closely, Ethan waddled into the shop with big, curious eyes. When people said that quiet people were observant, well they were't lying. He noticed everything: the piano, the bar, the people and that door. That was something he'd never actually seen opened. Was it open to the public? He tried to tug his sister that way but she appeared to be in deep conversation with another adult.
He fumbled, unsure what to do. He was afraid to go look all alone, but he was rather curious.
Oh curiousity, thank you for killing the cat. He very slowly urged himself to take a few steps closer and closer until he was inside.
.................................................. ......................
He didn't notice the elegant lounging, or the moving portraits. His attention was one thing. There were people. His age. BUT PEOPLE. HE WAS ALONE AND PEOPLE.
He just stared as his mind did the freaking out......
Awkward?

| sorry for the wait <333 *blows kisses* astronomizzle ♧ gryffinDORK | & the rest is drag ♣ #badluckDerf With mommy and daddy busy with customers, Sachiko had made all the right pouty faces and batted just the right eyelashes to get the latter to agree to her having her lunch of blueberry pancakes in the SPECIAL room that she liked to call her throne room because it was PRIVATE and only SPECIAL people got to use it. Special people who got permission from daddy and, since she had her daddy wrapped around her delicate pinky finger, that meant that SHE could use it.
So, with a small plate of pancakes balanced on one hand and a basket of freshly picked cornflowers draped over her other hand, the Leaky Cauldron Princess strut towards what SHOULD have been a closed because this was HER throne room.
Snorting like an angry bull, she stomped the rest of the way and stood in the doorway with one hand - the one with the basket of flowers - on her hip and the other hand still balancing the plate of pancakes at her chin's level while using her bum to try and shove the other girl standing there out of the way. THIS WAS HER SPOTLIGHT. "Excuuuuuuuuuuuuse you," she scoffed. "What do you think you all are doing in MY room?"
HUFF!

| Lovely™ | Captain Hurted | Ariana's Bane | Resident Antagonist | Unparalleled Delight So stunned was he by the moving portraits on the wall - actual moving portraits; not digital screens, but painted surfaces - Daxton had completely checked out of his other surroundings. It soon transpired that this was unwise, because through the quiet there suddenly cut a voice that rang in his ears. The boy jumped, startled, and turned to look back towards the doorway.
His expression totally impassive now that his initial shock had passed, Daxton stared at the girl, though he directed his gaze somewhere in the region of her shoulder rather than her face. He had just decided it wasn't worth attempting to respond, and was planning to wait until she got bored and left before leaving himself, when a barrage of other children suddenly appeared.
A girl who immediately blurted out one of the most bizarre sequences of words Daxton had ever heard; a boy who said nothing at all, but was there and blocking the exit all the same; a girl who waltzed in bearing food, pushing past everyone else, demanding to know why they were in her room. Her room? This entire room, with all its riches and finery (to his mind), belonged to her? Daxton wordlessly regarded at his surroundings again, and then back to the newest and loudest arrival. Even if he could have answered, he wouldn't have. There was no need to incriminate himself.
The urge to steal something had suddenly become significantly stronger, but Daxton was no idiot. He was hardly going to do something like that with four potential witnesses.
He did not say anything. The only move he made was to take step back, away from the others, watching them all with narrowed eyes, as though they were the ones in the wrong, trespassing on his territory, never looking any of them directly in the eye.

| ¼ of the Sisterhood of the Traveling Pls At that moment, Katherine decided many things:
1. This other boy in the room was a type she should never associate herself with, because he didn't leave a room he shouldn't be in the first place,
2. This other girl was an idiot, and even worse, she was loud!
3. The next boy would be very easy to manipulate if it came to that,
4. WHO DID THIS LAST GIRL THINK SHE WAS?????
Katherine shoved RIGHT BACK, but she did it with some class (unlike the GIRL, HMPF): She tried to shove the girl with all of her body so it looked CASUAL and she GLARED with such cold, grey eyes that made someone wonder how an only 9 year old could look so coldly. It'd give anyone chills. It was Katherine's favourite look. "Excuse you," she snapped as she folded her arms and took a step to stand inside too, "if it is so special, learn to lock it!"
It was as if it had been a completely different girl who'd just scolded the first boy for entering places he shouldn't. Stupid GIRL - she could have Katherine on her side, but now she was all #TeamTrespass.

| ∞ 17 | RP entrepreneur | defies gravity | Miss George is flawless | blanket burrito lyfe Golly. With a roll of her eyes, Saffy properly put her hands on her hips and cleared her throat. What was it with the looks she was getting from these people? The only thing wrong here was that she had glitter on her face and they didn't have any on theirs. AND there wasn't a jar of glitter in her hands to share. Poor little twinkle-less bores. OH. Another girl. One with food and flowers this ti-excUSE ME. Her brown eyes focussed in on her, and then she smiled. Princess to Princess! "I was just telling these..quiet..quieters that my gymnastics skills are better than theirs." Because by their stance and posture, none of them had even set foot on a balance beam and had no idea on how to extend properly.
She already knew she was coming out in rashes that didn't look like glitter because of their inadequacies!
Saffron moved to stand next to Sachiko, each step bouncing her ponytail a little more and catching any speck of light against the pink glitter ribbon accentuating on the top of her head. "I bet you want to share those pancakes with another Princess, huh Elsa?" And then mAYBE they could get that weird quiet starey kid to don some antlers and be Sven. Or she could just show them her skills.
WHY WASN'T ANYONE ENCOURAGING HER TO SHOW THEM?
SHE COULD EVEN TEACH THEM.
Ugh, peasants.

| Talikins|Huffledor|Purple|Ted Velvet| |Lochnessie|Redhead|Bladger|⅓ Ferocious Trio The completely-horrified expression struck on Ethan's face secured itself there a little longer. Finally, he was able to close his eyes, open them and then close them again wishing he'd wake up from some dream. He'd been hoping that when his eyes would open again, none of them would be there. Yet, life didn't work that way; you couldn't just blink away people and it took an eye peek for Ethan to register that.
What was he to do in a situation like this? Flee? Fight? He debated both options.
If he'd flee he'd be making those girls extremely pleased as he'd be obeying them. He'd be able to return to Ness and act as if nothing at all had happened; he'd be able to get his world's best cookies. There wasn't anything bad about fleeing. Perhaps, fleeing was the safer decision ...but something urged him to consider his second option closer than the first. Fleeing suited him in every manner but it would make him seem a complete fool or coward. He didn't want that. even if he was a real coward inside.
Fighting would involve standing still, keeping his ground and supporting the fellow boy who clearly needed help with these girls. How hard could that be? .........Oh who was he kidding. It be mission impossible for him, especially if it involved any, talking to these strangers. He'd probably end up stuttering from his nerves and then they'd all laugh at him and then to top it all he'd never make friends if they all went to Hogwarts one day. It would be the biggest crisis of his life.
Fleeing it was, sorry fellow brother. He urged towards the door, but stopped at once at the sight of all the shoving.Why did his escape have to be blocked?
Ethan breathed in and out, then stood there freaking out further. He would not let himself cry of anxiety in front of these strangers. He had to stop any form of such and thus his heavy breathing continued. |

| astronomizzle ♧ gryffinDORK | & the rest is drag ♣ #badluckDerf Pouting her lips, Sachiko gave the wicked stepsister girl a look up and down. Evil stepsister because only those sorts of people gave nasty unattractive looks like that in the stories daddy read to her. Hopefully that girl would turn into a pumpkin and roll out of here.
Huffing, Sachiko was tempted to THROW some of her syrupy pancakes at the back of the girl's head, but that would be a waste of perfectly yummy pancakes and thus she refrained. Besides, there was someone MUCH more WORTHY of her time being brought into focus. "SAFFY!"
Okay. So one of these peasants wasn't really a peasant. Sachiko would be willing to share pancakes with her for SURE.
Clearing her throat, Sachiko set the flowers down so she could hook her arm around Saffy's and look royal TOGETHER. And since Saffy had called her Elsa..."Of course, Anna," she BEAMED. "I always share with you." Well, mostly. There were some still things that she would never ever share with anyone. Like mommy and daddy. THEY were hers and hers alone.
As for the REST of these people...the two quiet peasants maybe. If it meant she got something out of it. But not the wicked stepsister. No pancakes for you. She even waved her finger in that one's direction.
And, teeeeeeeechnically, Saffy had just admitted that SHE, Sachiko, was in CHARGE because Elsa was a QUEEN and ABOVE just a regular princess.
"It's special because MY daddy owns this place," she huffed, sticking her tongue out at the end of her thought. "Does YOUR daddy own anything?"
Sachiko then stared at the boy closest to her. The one that looked like he was about to cry, so she may as well ask. "Are you going to cry?"

Nikolai Kaiser Minister's Office Diagon Alley Employee:
Ezekiel Ransom-Kruus Ollivanders x12 x12
| Lovely™ | Captain Hurted | Ariana's Bane | Resident Antagonist | Unparalleled Delight Suddenly, things in the room took a series of interesting, yet mildly confusing, turns. All Daxton really knew was that the girl, who had originally stormed to the door to inform him that he was out of bounds, was now shoving and glaring at the bossy one who apparently owned this room. Or, at least, her daddy did. The sparkly one and the bossy one already knew each other, and one was called Elsa and the other was called Saffy... or, no... Anna.
Daxton narrowed his eyes for a long, calculating moment. It did finally occur him that they were using play-names for each other, and he rolled his eyes at the realisation. He had no patience for silly pretend games, for girls who declared themselves princesses. Those games never made any sense, and they definitely weren't fun. Daxton had half a mind to inform the girls that he was a Prince, officially, because it was his name, just to see how they'd react. In the end he decided he didn't care enough to make the effort to find out. In any case, between the two of them, the loudness (he hated noise) and the pancakes (he hated pancakes) and the glitter (he hated glitter) were already enough to grate on Daxton's nerves. He wasn't going to encourage them any further.
Still he stood there, carefully watching the others, his eyes lingering on the snappy girl who had first arrived, wondering what might happen. A fight, maybe? As long as he wasn't pulled into it, and nobody touched him, and they were quiet about it, Daxton might find a fight rather fun to watch. Though he'd initially been anxious about the situation, he'd actually found this whole debacle entertaining, as long as he could remain on the sidelines, uninvolved. As he thought this, Daxton's gaze drifted to the other boy in the room, who also hadn't spoken a word. As usual, when he encountered someone who didn't speak straight away, he assumed the boy couldn't speak at all. It seemed he wasn't the only one who noticed him, though, as the little bossy one soon asked the boy if he'd cry. Cry? What made her think that? Daxton stared at him, but, unable to read faces as well as he read words, he couldn't see what she obviously saw.
While the attention was focused on that boy, though, Daxton realised he had an opportunity. He was stood not too far from one of the surfaces that lined the room now, and had spied something small and ornate and perfectly pocket-sized. While everyone else was busy looking at each other, Daxton casually reached out and took it. If anyone noticed, he'd simply make like he was just taking a closer look. But if not?
Well. If not, it belonged to him now.

. . . . . .
Gymnastic? Elsa? Anna? SHOUTING? WHAT were these stupid creatures?! Surely they weren't regular HUMANS because every human being had a base IQ, except these two. WHO shouted really when she saw her friend? Katherine'd stopped doing that when she was... actually, no, she had never shouted; EVER, because she had MANNERS.
Ugh. These two were JUST the type she loathed with passion, and she wasn't shy of showing it on her face. Her judging eyes examined both from head to toe when the two claimed they were princesses (of the whole immature idiots, maybe?) and concluded again: she had to stay away from the gymnastic one because EWWW GLITTER. Katherine was almost a grown up now, and grown up girls didn't have THAT.
And the pancakes? HAH. THEY WISHED. Katherine was NOT even touching those. She bet the girl burnt them or something.
She missed the other boy's hand movement while studying the girls, of course, and she also didn't see the other boy was about to cry as she had been too focused on these babies. Instead, she answered "Of course he does!" with all her sass and a look that clearly explained what she thought of her tongue, "he has a prestigious clothes shop in muggle London." She would have added a smart remark about how he was a wizard but opted out of selling products to girls like her, but she couldn't form it in any clever form, so she left it at that. And anyway, the girl's attention lasted for only 0.03 seconds - cry???
Her blue eyes landed on the other boy, and she gasped. "How rude are you!" she exclaimed at the girls as she rushed to stand by that boy to show him her support, "it's okay. You got me." Actually, no, it was not okay - especially if he burst into tears on Katherine's precious clothes, but she was too busy trying to show everyone these two girls that she was the best better than them, so of course she didn't mind some snot for now.
The boy had better appreciate her help. |

| Squib Community Meeting Starts here! Puff by day, snake by night | Mj's bestie | Always UP to Something... Erec had gotten there early of course. He wanted to make sure the leaky was paid for their reservation as well as making sure everything was how he had asked it to be. As he walked into the private area he was happy with the setup. Chairs set up in meeting style, but also a back table with refreshments. He hoped this would do well and that squibs and wizards could come together this evening and support each other and support the squibs having more opportunities.
Checking his watch he had walked back out and placed a sign to show where the meeting was and then went to get ready pouring himself a glass of water. Once this was over he may head to the bar, but that would probably depend on when it was finished and how well it went.

| Sal got noisy in my head so xD || also with permission for Lauren Ability is nothing without Opportunity | | Creativity is Intelligence having FUN Stradivarius Schermerhorn S.A. Salander has arrived. With the esteemed Missus on his hand of course. He paused by the entrance as if a doorman should be announcing their presence...
-- Scratch that. No he doesnt want their presence announced, something quite un-Astor like, as the venerable clan takes to making their mark wherever they go as de rigueur, just as it is that any family member going any place usually sends tongues wagging. But he thought today, and for something as sensitive as this subject matter, it would be best to take a more subtle (read: secretive) approach.
Seats have been arranged for seating, and he glanced at his wife before he took a seat himself, still in front (but of course), but somewhere off to the side. |

| ~ Mrs. Steve Harrington ~ It be like that sometimes. Ever since the meeting held earlier at the Ministry, Lucas had been interested in the further action that would be taken. He was all for Squibs joining them and was willing to go all the way for what he believed in. This was the reason he was here today. Schedule completely cleared for this particular time was something he had made sure to get done.
Lucas nodded in greeting to Erec and the other man and woman there before he took a seat. Not too much to the front but somewhere close enough to be able to see all the happenings that would go on there. |

| Dem Carters | even 🕊🕊 have pride | | Expecto PAWtronum 🐈 | U-NA-GI When Sky had first told her about the incident of the last meeting concerning this particular subject, Roxanne had been slightly concerned. I mean, informing your employees about a change in a way that sounded pretty much like "this is what we're going to do despite objections"? That wasn't quite right. But what had her more worried was that her niece had been the only one to speak out, making the younger woman very uncomfortable. So, when this meeting had come up, she'd decided to join Sky as a sort of support system, since Grayson was busy with ambassador duties, Mariane was busy with her restaurant and Sam was busy with the family business. Besides, she had made a bit of a name for herself on both sides of the Channel (though the French had a much higher opinion of her), so she felt that her support and presence would help give her niece's ideas a bit more weight.
Upon entering the room, it was obvious that there was only four people there so far besides Sky and herself. Still, she lead her niece to two seats in the back of the chair grouping. Here, it would be easier to observe. Yep, she'd called her Aunt Roxi in on this. She was better at this political-y type stuff than she was, and that was something she needed right now. Sky followed her aunt to the two seats with a look at her boss. Not a dirty look, but one that was more "look what you made me do". Hopefully, this wouldn't turn into one of those things like what had happened the last time this subject had come up. But at least she had back up this time in case it did.

| I am SO SO SORRY for the lag on this! Puff by day, snake by night | Mj's bestie | Always UP to Something... Erec had just gotten situated and looked around before checking the time. He did hope both Headmasters of both primary schools would be in attendance this evening. It would really help with the new school opening up since it was a public forum this time and not just for the ministry.
His thoughts got away from him for a moment he hadn't noticed when the first few came in, but his eyes flickered back towards the room when he noticed a movement and saw Sky and Roxanne? He knew the woman from his time at the French Ministry even if they had never met properly.
The forty-five-year-old smiled in everyone's direction. "Good evening everyone. Thank you for coming to this meeting. We will get started very soon. In the meantime, if you care for any refreshments we have plenty of the back table." He would wait just a few more minutes to see if anyone else was going to join. She hadn't been sure if she should bring her daughter or not, so Victoria decided to allow her eleven-year-old to stay home. She had a long day at school and was doing homework, but Victoria didn't trust her after the last attempt to run away so she made sure her house elf was watching her at all times. The stress was certainly getting to Victoria and she had work to think about as well.
This meeting being important she was not going to miss it. So hurrying into the room she took a seat in the back. A smile wave went up to Erec and a small tight smile to the others who looked her way.
Where was Charely?

| Unforgivably Cursed | adultescent Anwen didn't have much reason to visit Diagon Alley anymore, now that her only daughter was finished with Hogwarts, but she was still able to find it easily. And since she had heard about the Squib community meeting, she decided to head to the Leaky Cauldron after work. She had some of her own thoughts on squib-related issues, but she was interested in what the meeting might entail. Hopefully it was nothing patronizing or useless.
Walking into the private room marked for the meeting, she slipped past the small group quietly, quickly noting who was there. She gave a small, acknowledging smile to Victoria as she figured she might be there and took a seat as she waited for things to get underway.

| ~ Mrs. Steve Harrington ~ It be like that sometimes. It seemed like indeed this meeting would take a while to get started. This suited Lucas just fine as he had nothing else planned for the day. Brody was off spending the day with a few primary school friends and Tallie had some other things to take care of. Refreshments, on the other hand, sounded rather appealing. So, he followed Erec's suggestion and headed over to the table to grab some lemonade and sandwiches. Ah, yes. He hadn't even realised just how hungry he was.
Now he just hoped more persons would show up so they could get this started. Lucas didn't exactly fancy spending the whole day here even if he didn't have much planned. |

| Puff by day, snake by night | Mj's bestie | Always UP to Something... A smaller crowd than he was hoping for, but Erec knew it had to get started. He took a sip of the water and smiled at everyone that had come. "Good evening I think we can get started. My name is Erec Delacroix, Department Head for International Cooperation. Tonight's forum is an open discussion for the community to talk about how we can help support and give more opportunities for Squibs and squib families. " Glancing around the room he did recognize some, but not others. Were there any squibs even here. The stress of this job was starting to get to him, but he tried not to show it. Maybe he could take a holiday once this was all started and taken care of.
He shuffled through his papers seriously wondering where any of the heads were for the primary schools or the new secondary school. "It has been our committee's position to work on bringing more opportunities in the wizarding community to everyone. We have been working with the ministry to see what positions are open that both Wizards and Squibs can apply for as well as some shopkeeper and assistance around the area. Our primary schools have joined together to open a secondary school for squib families that would like to keep their children in the wizarding world instead of having them transfer into the muggle world. "
He looked around to see if everyone was following along.

| ~ Mrs. Steve Harrington ~ It be like that sometimes. Lucas had just enough time to munch down two sandwiches (which happened to be rather delicious; he must remember to snag a few more later if any remained) before Erec decided it was time to get started. Looking around now, he could see that more persons had gathered so he quickly moved back to his seat.
The man sat quietly while things got on the way. As Erec spoke, Lucas would glance at nearby persons. He was trying to gauge, from their reactions, what were their opinions on the Squib situation. He remained firm on where he stood- to incorporate Squibs more actively in the Wizarding world. And as such, he was pleased with the Primary schools and the decision to have a Secondary school for squibs. This was indeed progress. |
