 Yeahhh, Mr White! Yeah science!
Well Nathan certainly felt like a spare part – everything seemed to be pretty much in hand. Warren was on gift inspection, Forrester seemed to have the dress code stuff sorted and Alexa certainly had wand security under control. He heard the woman, whom he recognised from the sphinx incident on level 4 moaning about having to wear purple and it being compulsory to attend this thing. He had to repress a smile – at least she didn’t have to ‘work’ it. He gave Alexa a nod and a warm reasurring smile before looking around at other proceedings. Egypt had vanished into the main seating area - he wasn't sure if he would see her again today.
What would happen if the headmistress from Hogwarts and her husband showed up? The professor of Defence Against the Dark Arts… what were they to do if there was trouble? Cassandra Rae was a respected woman and his one of his little sister’s favourite professors. Surely she and her husband wouldn’t turn up to something they clearly weren’t invited to… would they? And why exactly?
He wandered over to the gift table to have a look at the many interesting parcels. Nathan hadn’t brought a gift, but Egypt had. Best to leave that sort of thing up to a woman. Besides, he was working – why should he bring a present? To have to go out and buy something for a couple he didn’t, and had no particular wish to, know. Out of his rubbish salary...
