Contributing for a worthy cause such as the much needed rehabilitation of the Library was something the Vanderbilts take special pride in, being the kind of family that they are, and have donated quickly and generously-- new library furniture, new and replacement books titles, distinguished auction pieces they would hope would fetch a good price-- anything in the effort to get the hollowed hall back to its former glory.

Of course what Corin didnt expect when he accepted the invitation to the event was that there was a dress code, the kind he'd usually expect from Muggle Halloween. He felt he has earned enough silver hairs already ~~in fact his entire head~~ to gracefully decline that minor detail and dress sensibly as a man of his stature. But when his contacts informed him that even illustrious members of the Board was making an effort to dress up... well suffice it to say he begrudgingly started to alter his coat to come up with something that could pass for a costume.

So there walks in the Silver Fox dressed as another silver haired character-- the Elven King Thraduil of Mirkwood, created by a genius named JRR Tolkien. Would anybody amongst here recognize it? Well he made sure Tolkien's complete works and works based on his work were part of the books they donated. Ignorance in this regard is definitely not bliss.

He set his 5 galleons down (since he assumed his contributed books are safely tucked away somewhere in the school already) took a name tag, and with his named penned in stuck it to the left side of his chest. Now that he was here.... he was rather concerned about the extent of the damage. He still considered this place his home away from home after all.

Oi! He has forgotten how difficult it was to move around in this thing.

Salander swaggered in the door-- yes thats how he usually walks, but may have been even be more noticeable today since its been a while since he wore this costume. But today was a day where he does what he loves-- he gets to wear a costume, he gets to visit Hogwarts AND he gets to visit his old NAP room. Which he heard burned down....

... too many darned books he always said. Fire hazards they are. And see where it got them eh eh? Thats what they get for not listening to the former Head Boy.

He walks right past the sign up table-- because he's used to walking past tables that require registering, plus his PA did say whatever it was that needed to be handsomely contributed has been done and he just needed to bring his own handsome self to grace the event. Simple instructions, easy to remember. Yup he can handle that.

"'Scuuuuuse me..." he drawled as he parted the crowds with his armoured hands, noisily clunking his way further into the hall. "Huh.... definitely a lot less of them fire hazards... good good!.... Now where them La-Z-Boys?"
