She'd already been to the dessert bar twice today and twice she'd forgotten to make good on her promise. A chocolate frog--not for herself but her little sister. Sure, she could have simply given Jessa one of hers...but she'd already kind of mapped her sugar intake for the rest of the week (as a means of keeping her mind preoccupied) and nowhere in the imaginary budget was there room for her to hand over one of her most precious treasures to the ten year old. It was like...the principle of getting your own, except the little girl couldn't very well do that and being the WONDERFUL big sister that she was, she was obliged her.
Coffee in hand, the Auror made her way across the bar, hardly paying attention to the other selections as she headed for the tray housing the chocolate frogs. Hardly paying attention to anything actually and that seldom ended well on a good day.
This....was not a good day. With her mind being pulled in a million directions, she hardly took notice of the woman before her until she was suddenly wearing her coffee.
"Oh Merlin..."
