Default Visitor Entrance and Security Check-Point *START HERE*

Here is where you will arrive by Floo, Portkey or whatever other mode of transportation you have chosen. Before you can step foot in the area marked off for the Cooper/Belle wedding, you must check in with Security. They will be screening to make sure everyone not only was invited, but also is wearing the appropriate attire - black or a shade of purple. If you're not dressed appropriately, Security will change the color of your clothing for you. And if you refuse to have the color changed, you will be refused entrance, by order of the bride!

From here, be sure to stop by the Guest Book and Memory Pensieve to let the couple know you were in attendance!

OOC: Anyone who works for the Ministry is invited to the wedding so don't worry about not actually having a hard copy of the invitation. Only adults are allowed at this wedding, so if you're character isn't of age, they shouldn't be here! The bride and groom aren't particularly fond of children

Here are some avatars to be worn to show you have passed the security checkpoint with the appropriate attire. If you received loaner clothing from Security, please choose the appropriate avatar! Thanks!

Forrester walked in along with his officers, no one had arrived and he was sure it wasn't going to for a long time.
"Okey everyone we had training and we had excelled in it... I have watched you fight my clones, my traps, my spells and my magic and you excelled in it" Forrester started explaining.
"We will run security while having fun... Keep your eyes open and always try to settle stuff up without making a big deal out of it... I don't guess we will be covering security here but we will switch shifts so that no one sticks with being here all the time, unless someone wants to stay here all the wedding... Again one important thing we have to look for is Rae and Branxton, if you come in contact with them, try to stall them and use the letters system to contact me or Nicoli, head of MLES... Don't engage with them unless you see it necessary" Forrester continued.
"Now that we have settle that down... Please change to your purple and black uniform and we will all meet back here"

Clarissa followed Forrester into the area where Security had been set up. A quick glance around showed that no one, aside from other pertinent Ministry personnel, had shown up.

Ah...the mission. That was a none too pleasant experience, but she was certainly glad that she had the chance to take part in it. It only made her stronger, she thought.

As Forrester dismissed them, Clarissa immediately set off again to a small changing room she had noticed when they had entered.

**
Not long after she had disappeared did she step back into the Security area, now dressed in an off-shoulder light purple dress with matching shoes. Though she had a feeling that she would have a nice time, she also knew that she had to maintain a sense of awareness at all times.

Forrester didn't take too long to put his black tux on and head out to the security position. He quickly noticed that the others hadn't came back yet except for Clarissa. What's taking them so long?Ray asked himself as he waited for them,
"Clarrisa please pin this on your dress" Ray said as he handed a badge with the signs of aurors as he placed his own badge that ressembled the one he handed Clarissa but with the initials "HA".
He noticed a security personel and decided to get a bit of information about his job here.
"Hey Mr... I'm Forrester Hufflepuff, head division of Aurors... So are you going to be posting here?" Forrester asked.

"Ah Mr. Hufflepuff. How are you this fine day? I am here to make sure that the guests are dressed right for this event. I see you are dressed just right so if you would like to enter you may go ahead. My name is Mr. Wyatt Potter."

Clarissa accepted the badge from Forrester, murmuring a quick Thank you before she flipped it around and carefully pinned it to her dress. Once that was done, she brushed her fingers through her hair before going over and joining Forrester and one of the members of the security team.

She shot him a quick smile, but remained quiet for the time being, only choosing to look about in a meticulous manner.

"Yes sir. I am also hoping that some of the other Security Members will be here soon to help out so then we do not have to have people waiting to enter the wedding." Wyatt said to Forrester.

With a tiny pop Egypt made it do the wedding. She knew she was a bit early, but she didn't want to be rushed or be late trying to get through all the security that was going to be up for the wedding.

Egypt knew Nathan would be working this wedding and she might not get to see him nor spend time with him, but she still wanted to go to the wedding. She had on her brand new purple robes for the ceremony. It was a deep shade of purple, almost black cherry. She didn't like wearing black dress robes. She had her hair done in a tight updo with purple clips that had real butterflies on them. She wanted to look pretty.

She walked over to the Security Desk to check in, and waited her turn.

Forrester looked up at the young woman that appeared on the desk.
"Oh hello... I guess you are one of the first to arrive... I hope you have your gift with you and you better wait until Mr. Potter can come back and check you... If you need to go get your gift you can do so now"

Wyatt quickly came back from his break to help anyone that has come. When he got back he noticed a lady waiting for him to check her in. As he walked back he noticed she was dressed in a dark shade of purple which means she could enter. When he got back he said to the lady "Hello Ms. Riddle. I can see that you are dressed right for the wedding. You may pass and when you do make sure that you sign the guest book and leave a lovely memory for the Minister and his bride. And if you have a gift it can go ont that big table over there." pointing to the guest book and memory pensive and the gift table.

Elwood arrived with a crack, wearing a purple cloak with silver fastenings, he extended his hand to Forrester, then to Potter, "Hello Mr. Potter, I don't believe we've met, I'm Elwood Blues, an Auror under Mr. Forrester.", he placed his present near the entrance.

"Gift? No said I had to bring a gift to this affair." Edward walks up behind the lady wearing his tuxedo with a white rose boutonniere pinned on his lapel.

"Elwood, Edward please come here" Forrester ordered his employees.
"And don't get that annoyed Edward... I have already took care of that... We will present a gift from all the Auror division... I see that you are dressed well also Elwood I have asked that man would were black... Don't worry about it" Forrester said as he pointed his wand at Elwood and changed the color of his cloak to black. "Much better... Stay here Im waiting for the rest of the team" he said as he waited longer for the team. "Come on... What is taking them so long?" Forrester asked on a loud voice also he intended it to be for himself.

Alexa apparated into the Ministry already having changed. She was wearing a black dress with purple shoes and purse. She had curled her hair and it was hanging in loose curls around her. Her wand was disguised as a long purple lining on her jacket just to avoid scuffle and confusion in any outcome.

She looked around and saw Egyt, Elwood, Forrester. Edward and Clarissa. She walked over smiling and introducing herself to everyone.
"So how are you guys?"
She said speaking to the whole assembly. Looking around she realised Warren hadn't arrived. She observed the entire hall taking in the features.

"So Edward, you look amazing." She said admiring her mentor's clean cut look.
Smoothing out a crease on her dress she looked up at him.

She looked at Mr. Forrester, she thought it rather tacky to question her about her gift but she declined to say anything to him about it. "Yes of course. I wasn't going anywhere." She said giving him a bright smile. "This looks like it is going to be a lovely affair." She commented looking around.

"Oh hello." She said not knowing where he knew her name from. "Thank you very much sir." She said giving him a little curtsy. She went off to head toward the girt table to leave her gift.

Edward laughs at Forrester. "I don't know about the rest of the staff, but I'm not used to putting one of these monkey suits on. Everything looks nice. What's the procedure for tonight? Check for invitations and the standard scan?" Edward scans the room. Seems like the standard security measures are already in place. He imagines there will be an anti-aparattion charm in place during the ceremony and the floos will be disengaged. Wouldn't want any uninvited guest showing up. A lot of people would like to make this Brennan's last public engagement. Edward sees Alexa walk over. "Alexa, you look lovely tonight. You must save a dance for me tonight that is if Warren doesn't mind. I hate to have to duel with him during the reception."

"Hi Alexa I hope your fine... You like amazing" Forrester said as he looked at his employees. "Okey please take this and pin them to your cloth" Forrester said as he gave Elwood, Alexa and Edward the same badges as the one he gave Clarissa. "Please wait here till everyone has arrived... And no Edward we will not be handling invitation but regular scanning we are... I will tell you everything as soon as Warren and Cassandra appear and lets not forget Aura" Forrester said as he looked at his employees.
"Actually you all look fine."

"I'll make sure I'll save one. Thank you though." She walked over to Forrester to receive her badge.

Yeah, St. Mungo's loves patients with head problems. THe media always has a field day. 'Our Protection Gone Wacko'. It's enlightning to know I'm not mentally damaged." She smiled and took the badge pinning it to her dress.
"Forrester, has Aura showed up anywhere? I mean is she even okay?"

Elwood stretched and placed several peices of cinnamon gum into his mouth, then offered a piece to Alexa.

"Yeah, I know, I'm horrible,"he said softly, turning back around, cracking his knuckles and glancing about at the crowd of people amassing around them, "But perhaps if I dissappear inside this crowd, they won't find me." but he remained rooted to the spot, passing his left hand through his hair.
