Walking into the museum, you and your date think it’s just going to be the everyday museum, couple of paintings over there, couple of statues somewhere else. But this museum, it not any old museum. This is the museum of wizarding history. Many things have gone in wizarding history, and today you are able to revisit the good and the bad, all in one place. Feel free to take pictures; this is quite an amazing place.
On the first floor there are many paintings of important people in wizarding history. People such as the golden trio and Dumbledore. There are also paintings of less desirable people such as Lord Voldermort, but they all played an important part in the history of our world. After you have explored this section, you move on upstairs, where is a selection of clippings from the Daily Prophet, describing various events such as the battle of Hogwarts. Also on this floor are historical artefacts such as Harry Potter’s wand, the goblet of fire, and the deluminator.
On the third and final floor, there is a walk through history of the wizarding world, showing story by story our entire history. This is matched with moving pictures, which grab your attention. After finishing the walk through story, you can leave the museum by following the moving stair cases, just like the ones in Hogwarts, back down to the entrance hall. Hope you enjoyed the experience!  | |

Simon should have known...he should have realized his brother would deal him some sort of payback for signing up for a blind date through the matchmaker in Diagon Alley. And Jonathan sure didn't disappoint, returning the favor and signing him up for one of his own. And now he was supposed to show up at the Wizarding History Museum at the scheduled time and meet a random woman he didn't know for a blind date. Yes....just what he needed during his free time from work.
Well at least if anything were to go wrong its a place that was half-way interesting. He briefly remembered visiting the museum with his family at some point growing up. Not that he likely remembered what he had seen the last time and he was sure there had probably been more added to it or changed around. Otherwise people wouldn't return time after time...right? Simon might not have returned this time had it not been for the arrangements made on his behalf.
Speaking of which, Simon had found himself slipping though the front door of the museum, gaining access to the entrance hall that lay beyond. The YATI was dressed nicely and clean-shaven which was his usual and looked around the room as if he had some clue as to what he was looking for. Maybe someone as nervous as he was perhaps.

Eunice entered the museum and said to herself, Date.Nice. I'm going to kill my best friend for this..
She walked gracefully inside the museum, and towards a moving painting, the Trio.
She stopped and looked at the painting but, she's thinking something else. What does he looks like anyway? she asked herself.

After a while, Simon had started to wander into the first main room instead of loitering in the entrance hall, security likely wary of those that might appear to be troublemakers. He wished he had been given some description of the young woman he was to meet to make it at least a little easier. Looking over one exhibit, the YATI kept an eye out as well for any one who might have looked to be looking for someone. He had been about to move on when he spotted a woman who appeared around his age looking at a portrait of the Golden Trio.
Simon paused in debate before quietly making his way over to her, thinking over what to say when he finally reached her. "Um...you wouldn't happen to be supposed to meet someone here...would you?" he asked. No point beating around the bush though he hated to feel so unprepared.

Eunice's mind was wondering, wait...Imagining what her date might look like.
She sighed. Thinking to herself, I better make the best out of this.
Suddenly, someone spoke behind her and she looked in a way like from top to bottom. Do I know this guy? Eunice asked herself.
She realized the guy was talking to her then she replied and smiled,
"Yes, actually...Why do you ask?"

"Yes, actually...Why do you ask?" Simon watched and patiently waited as she turned towards him, wondering what would be the reaction. The young man did his best not to be self-conscious especially as she appeared to be looking him over completely. Was his appearance off and something to be judged by? The former Gryffindor certainly wasn't sure but then she answered breaking the silence that had originally left him wondering in the first place.
"Because I might be who you're wait for..." he answered trying to bring them closer to seeing if they were each other's missing person. "...if its a date that you're here for anyway." He had been correct in the first assumption about her waiting for someone...maybe the second belief would also be right.

"Pleasure meeting you at last...I'm Eunice by the way, and you are?" she asked. That was very rude of you Eunice..Looking at a guy like that..Anyway, he's cute..well, handsome actually.. Eunice said to herself.
Eunice can't help but smile again and this time sweetly.

Eunice can't help but smile again and this time sweetly. Whew...that was a relief that he hadn't put himself out there and made a foolish mistake. "Nice to meet you as well," Simon replied returning the smile she gave him with one of his own. "I'm Simon," he added giving his own introduction.
So far so good.
"Well...shall we explore the museum?" he asked, extending his arm in the direction of the rest of the exhibits on the ground floor. Now that they had found each other they could freely wander and see about enjoying the blind date if possible.

Eunice thought then suddenly she asked,
"So why did you join this blind date?" then smiled.
