| 'Deep breaths Inez, you can do this!'
The woman quickly made her way across the tiled floor of the Atrium that led to the entrance of the Ministry Ball that she was going to be honored at...infront of the entire British Ministry. That was just mind-blowing. She had been sitting in her tiny apartment just the other day when she recieved Minister Greingoth's owl offering her a position here after some huge fiasco.
Now she was here, in a ball gown, a babysitter at home, and about to be introuduced to a huge group of people she had never met. So she was a tad nervous. Quote:

"Oh, how lovely," she exclaimed, taking note of all the decorations. "The British certainly know how to put on a show now, don't they?" Which is what she had simply been bursting at the seams when she had been asked to go and speak on behalf of the American Ministry. She adored being in England especially, considering she had spent a large part of her childhood here, and it had been far too long since she had been back.
Spinning around elegantly on her heels, Abigail reached into her bag to quadruple check for her note cards containing her all important speech. Once she entered the room the woman pushed a strand of her dark hari behind her ear and looked about the large hall that led them into what was no doubt going to an even more lavishly decorated Ballroom. When she was admiring the large tapestry like decorations that went up the walls on either side of where the guests were walking she sort of bumped into a woman who had seemed to stop and was fumbling through her purse. "Oh I'm so sorry. I wasn't paying attention, are you alright?" he said quickly looking over the woman who she hopefully hadn't harmed. |
