 Anyone? Please? Don't make me choose someone xD James is my REAL name | Pokah Face | Scheming Marauder | True Marauder | Foster the People
Had it not been a more high-profile event, and had he not received the semi-invitation, which was more like an advertisement really, while he was working on Level 2 in the Ministry of Magic, Roderigo De Lacerda probably would never have stepped foot into a shop like Madame Primpernelles. He wasn't too much of a high maintenance wizard, and thus would never really have need to purchase any sort of beautifying supplies.
The notice he saw at the Ministry requested the mandatory presence of Hit Wizards and Patrol Officers of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement, but also suggested that all employees of the Department, which would include Roderigo in his Wizengamot Division position, to attend this event. As such, he decided to wear his nicest dress robes; sleek kashmir robes that were a deep maroon color with a black collared dress shirt beneath and matching dress pants. His usual curly mess of hair was straightened and sleeked back. But that was as far as he would go in terms of the cosmetics or beauty category.
Nevertheless, the Spaniard did enjoy gatherings and social events. He tried not to allow the overly obnoxious amounts of cosmetic merchandise and the slightly nauseating fumes that wafted from the large cauldron get to him. Taking note to not enter the raffle or bother with the gift bags (why would he need make up?), he took too walking around, smiling at those he knew. He noticed that the Minister of Magic himself was here, accompanied by the scary Potions Professor he had dealt with for two years when he was at Hogwarts. Not necessarily having the desire to force a conversation with the two (Professory Lafay looked like she was in an ever sourer mood than normally), he stood near a less crowded section of the shop, near a shelf with an eye watering display of assorted Ellsberry products. He hoped dearly that someone, anyone, would come and talk to him and rescue him from this horridness! |
