"You went to Hogwarts, right?" Arya moved closer to the girl with a smile. The gift bags could wait for now, she clearly had other things to do.
The store seemed to be filling up quick. And... Merlin's beard. The Minister was here! This was the closest Ellie had ever been to the man. He was kind of intimidating. Especially with Professor Lafay right next to him...
But Ellie's attention was turned elsewhere when she heard a girl speak to her. Ellie smiled back at the girl, even though she was rather disappointed that the girl had to ask. They graduated at the same time, not three months ago.
"Yeah, I did. Arya, right?" Text Cut: Caroline Schermerhorn-Astor

Caroline Schermerhorn-Astor was usually informed of such important events via RSVP, always with her impressive name scrolled elegantly across the all-important, hard-to-get invite. But she has received no such missive, and had only seen the advertising when she was checking on her own paparazzi coverage came across the Daily Prophet at the newsstands.
She took her sweeeet time looking for the shop, being used to people waiting for her to grace them with her loveliness. Finally, she spotted the dazzling entrance and, after the customary flipping of her hair and throwing her shoulders back, sauntered confidently through the threshold....
... only to see two young girls.
Yes they were young-- children really-- compared to her. But dont ever tell her that. Or remind her of the fact that she is now a grandmother.
Sparkling blue eyes surveyed the brightly colored shop, her immaculate smile only slightly lessened. Has she missed the party? She was confident that she has perfected the art of being fashionably late and no party ever started without her. Finally, her eyes returned to the two young girls. Were they the sales people? Merlin she could swear they seem to be getting younger every year. She neared the two girls and, once again flashed that gorgeous smile "Hello! Are you the....beauty consultants?"That sounded uplifting enough for such humble positions isnt it?
Ellie had stopped to observe the hair products. These would be good for her wedding tomorrow. Especially the heat one, since it would be in Florida. OH, this was perfect. She would have to remember to purchase that.
Her train of thought was interrupted by a lovely blonde woman with a nice smile. She was quite cheerful, too. Ellie raised her eyebrows... and then furrowed one down in confusion. Beauty consultants? Ellie glanced at Arya before looking back at the woman.
"Err, no. Just... here for the reopening. And some shopping." For her WEDDING. She couldn't stop thinking about it! Naturally.
