While many had likely made resolutions for the New Year, the Senior Obliviator was still very French in spite of living in Britain for a handful of years. Gazing around the space, Dante had to admit more effort had been put into this little party; however, it all was still rather subpar to him. The look on his face was proof enough that he wasn't impressed in the slightest.

His face remained deadpan while browsing at the silent auction items. This was, of course, out of pure curiosity. Throwing away Galleons was not on his agenda, and, unsurprisingly, none of the items piqued his interest. Brooms were a waste, ice cream was unhealthy, his clothes came directly from France, and he had no need for stationary or fireworks. Only the paintings were worth considering, though only a few moments were spent looking at them before turning away – they just weren't his style.

But it took everything within him to not roll his eyes at the last series of 'items.' The Parisian simply read through the names and blankly blinked. "Un peu désespéré," he muttered under his breath. And all this to support Hogwarts? Was the school lacking funds as well as its own castle? How sad, how very sad indeed.

Did someone say all-you-can-eat dessert buffet? Frankie didn't need to be told twice! With a newborn at home in addition to the other mini-him and Hadleigh's running about, the blond was not one to pass up food ... or a nap ... or something that would give him an adrenaline rush for a few hours. But food was a priority right now for the Auror, so the buffet was his first stop.

Within a matter of minutes, he had a full plate of just desserts at hand. He then meandered over to the seating area and looked around for any familiar faces, unashamedly sneaking a bit or two of a random dessert item from his plate. He of course recognised Minister Hollingberry and ~~Professor~~ Department Head Flamsteed, but then Emilia came into his line of vision. Frankie honestly couldn't say he knew her all that well, but they were in the same division and that was reason enough for to him to take a vacant seat next to her.

"Pretty impressive shindig they've set up this year, isn't it?" he commented, setting the dessert plate on the table and unashamedly taking a plate containing non-dessert food from a server (he could already hear Hady scolding him in his mind for even considering eating dessert first). After popping some food into his mouth, he then asked the YATI, "How was your holiday?"
