"You're a bit keen, but at least your here now," Varius said, shaking off her apologies and removing his outdoor cloak and throwing it over the girls head. "I did expect you to be at the door upon my arrival but I suppose late is better than never."

He dusted of his sleeves and tapped his cane on the marble floors, giving of a wonderful tapping sound. Canes were like wands - you couldn't have any old cane; there was a special bond there. "My, my," Varius exclaimed haven actually taken notice of the cloak-taker-girl, "They certainly splashed out on the service's uniform! Nice frock - hopefully the Headmaster will let you keep it once this shindig is over. Is he paying you well? Probably not. Just typical of a school, really. Here, take this." He pulled out a galleon and placed it on the top of her head, patting it neatly down, "My tip to you for your work... just don't crease my cloak! Do you know how many Bott's beans that had to be sold to get that? Nor' do I. Funny that. We have something in common, see? Wonderful."

This girl probably regretted bumping into Varius by now. For anyone who didn't know him, he was pretty random, energetic and slightly relentless and blunt in his opinions. And if it weren't already obvious, quite ignorant to his surroundings. He actually wondered why the girl was still standing here and wasn't transporting his cloak to the cloakroom. Did she expect more money? Surely a galleon was a plentiful tip!
Cadence raised her eyebrows at the man and popped her hip, placing her hand on it. Did Cadence LOOK like the sort of girl who would have such a job? Did he realize how expensive this gown had been? When he handed her his things, she eyed them then looked back up at him, her eyes flashing dangerously, and then dropped all of it on the floor... including the galleon. "Sorry, I guess that since it isn't my job to be treated like a house elf, I'm a bit out of practice. You'll have to excuse me for dropping your things. My schedule stays pretty busy between studying for OWLs, training for gymnastics, and competing in ballroom competitions," she said in a tone dripping with sarcasm.

Okay, so this guy was obviously an alumni, and looking at his face, Cadence had to admit he looked slightly familiar, like someone she had seen in a dream once or something. Though Cadi probably shouldn't have been rude to him, he had deserved it, ordering her around that way. Psh, yeah right. Hanging people's things dressed like this. What a joke! Crazy man!
