She knew from experience from her long ago marriage, that there was not always a lot of free time to give away. Especially if those pros had family's that expected them to be home and spending their down time with them. Truly, a reasonable request. And one she'd made back before her and Bogdan's divorce when she actually cared to spend time with him.

That truly felt like eons and eons ago now.

She'd just finished up the last of her interview's for the day when she'd decided a break, and a reward, was in order. Spotting St. James park, she made her way that direction and found a food vendor in order to get herself a small popcorn and a bottle of sparking water, before she began to just walk - letting her feet take her wherever.

She'd not gotten far when the sight of a familiar figure caught her attention. Wasn't that one of her colleagues? ... And was he asleep on a bench? With an amused smile, and perhaps a hint of judgement, Rose made her way the man's direction. The closer she got, the more she could see (and hear) the man was definitely asleep - mouth hanging wide open. Deciding to have a bit of fun, she sat down on another bench not too far off and took popcorn pieces - one by one - and aimed them directly towards him. Maybe she'd get lucky and actually make one in.

It was so easy to feel like an old man in this situation, when it actual fact he wasn’t that old at just forty-five. Wizards could live a bloody long time these days, but he didn’t feel he really fit into that great wizard category. With his muggleborn roots set deep, and because he had spent a lot of time with his family recently, Theodore found he didn’t use an awful lot of magic when he wasn’t at work. It was food for thought, actually, as Theodore was really craving doing something big with his later life.

This particular nap didn’t seem to be doing much good for Theodore, probably the heat beaming down on his face that he did not have sun protection on. He lived a reckless and dangerous life, so you see. OR it could have been the tiny popcorn pieces that were being launched at him. Some thwacking him on the head, some missing completely, some landing in his lap.

And ONE landing right on target, into his mouth and down his throat. Immediately, Theodore tried clearing his throat and by this point was awake and standing, dropping the popcorn pieces that were in his lap, then clutching at his throat.

CALL ST MUNGOS, THE MAN WAS CHOKING.

Did this woman not know that popcorn was one of the leading causes of choking??? ~~in children~~
