Yays she muttered taking the t-shirt and scowling at it's garish pattern. She shuddered, and shook her head, why me she took a deep breath and pulled it over her head, smelling the slightly plasticy smell from...something, she felt it shrink around her smallish frame and sort of framing her curves. She still hated it. Thanks she smiled at him, sensing how he didn't want to be here either before heading through, as soon as this day was over THIS was going in the bin. After she'd set fire to it though

Amaria looked at the t-shirt still in the mans hand. The man looked very familiar. Ahha she thought he might work with her. "Level two, Law Enforcement," she replied. Uhhh interesting t-shirt not her style at all. Whatever, she told herself to be a supporter.

Gaellen Tate stepped toward the waiting Ministry employees, presenting his wand just in case that sort of thing was required. Probably not, but one never knew.

"Gaellen Tate, Headmaster of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry." And one rather unhappy camper, if truth be told.

Katalin had just found out about the party so she apparated to the Leaky Cauldron so she could join the party. She stopped when she saw a line for security and waited her turn.

MLE...and Valentina.
 

With an uncharacteristic grim look on her face, Alysson approached the Security Check-in. Whatever they were going to tell her or do she was NOT going to wear one of those hideous T-shirts. For various reasons. One they were just that, hideous, very unfashionable and two they were all Borr-praising. Total no-go.

With a sigh, her face lit up slightly as she found herself facing some of her colleagues who had the pleasure of doing the security checks...and handing out hideous T-shirts. "Hey there. You know me, I hope...Alysson Zookara, Magical Law Enforcement." She more like drawled, nonetheless with a smile for the person in front of her.

This was going to be one long party.


Not sure what exactly to expect of all this, Valentina had decided to come her nonetheless. Even though she had had to close her shop for a while since there would have been nobody to assist the customers for the time being. Because Nigel was going to be here too. Hopefully. If not he was going to have to look for a new job first thing tomorrow.

Obviously annoyed at having to deal with other people already - outside her shop anyway - the redhead made her way up to one of the Security workers with a frown on her face. What were they handing out there anyway? "Valentina Pendra. Shopkeeper of Slug and Jiggers Apothecary." She informed the nearest person in charge of security checks curtly.

It was a good thing that Arya wasn't as clumsy as Sabel, else his sudden movement would have had her tripping over her own feet, which wouldn't be good in the dress she was wearing. Eye lingering on the woman that had responded to her question about the shirt, she followed beside Sabel, almost reluctant to pull her eyes away from the woman to smile at the ministry personnel. Yup. That was her. Young Arya Lovegoods.

Prometheus couldn't help but laugh, it seemed that it wasn't only the Level Two employees that were finding the shirts, rather........unbecoming. So far nearly all of the guested he had checked were a little taken back by the shirt.

SPOILER!!: Shirt Shock/Previous Check Ins

"I'll try to get something out of today though. Thank you!" Think positive thoughts, Iris! It'll only be a few hours!

"Well you don't have to, but we have been asked to hand them out, so as to give you the option!" Prometheus could understand where she was coming from, she wanted to make an impression, and the Lord Borr shirts, well.....

A fake smile, obviously. There was no real reason to be happy right now. "Oh, they've already arrived?" She asked, eyebrows raised lightly. "Yes... That would be my daughter." There was a proud tone as she said that. She had every reason to be proud of her daughter, and she'd let people know that very subtly. As the man told her to enjoy, Helena laughed and replied with, "I'll try to!" Before heading into the tent.

Watching as the lady passed, Prometheus had the feeling that Helena Beaumont didn't approve of the shirt either, like mother like daughter!

That shirt definitely didn't go with that suit, but she imagined that shirt wouldn't really go with anything. It was a bit ridiculous. At least some people seemed to be getting through this without too much struggle, so perhaps her misgivings were unnecessary. Something still oddly reminded her of her cousin, but she knew he wouldn't be there. So things would be safe, and if they had people like this working security, even better. "Good morning to you as well," she replied, graciously taking the ridiculous shirt. "I'm sure," she added with a slight raised eyebrow as she stepped inside the tent, starting to wonder if underneath her dress would count. It would look idiotic, but at least then most of it would be covered.

Waiting his turn in the Security check line, the Gryffindor looked at the many adults standing around them and then stepped up behind Jake, Lexi, and Kurumi to the security witches and wizards. "Riley Sinclair, Hogwarts, Im with the selected students chosen to attend today, please!" he said excitedly showing them his invitation. What happened if they denied him entry would he be in troble with Headmaster Tate? He already was looked upon in a wierd light because of the One-eyed Witch incident.

Well someone was excited, "Thank you for coming Master Sinclair," Prometheus grinned as he located and ticked the boys name, "And as a small thanks for coming all the way from Hogwarts, here's a free Lord Borr shirt!"
This one looked like he might actually wear the shirt, Borr would be happy!

Ahhhh so the man behind the legend, "Nice to have you with us, Headmaster," Prometheus smiled sincerely. Having been homeschooled, the elder Hudson boy, had never met any of the Headmasters, but Patroclus had said good things, "No need for wands," he added, as he crossed of the name, "but you do need this shirt" he laughed as he handed it over.
"Enjoy!"

His smile was on auto-pilot now!

"Hey Alysson," the young man grinned at his fellow Level Two'er, "Seems you got the lucky straw today!" He added as he located her name, "All good! Heres your shirt, and hopefully I will see you later!" Prometheus hadn't had much to do with Alysson, but she seemed lovely!

"Good Day Valentina," he said absentmindedly as he scanned the parchment for her name, finding it, he looked up, ohh cute red head. Grinned his boyishly charming smile, he handed over the shirt, "A gift from Lord Borr, have a nice time!"

But perhaps now was the best time to speak up again, given Tate had just arrived and he would make sure they got in if they got overlooked. Or that's what he hoped. The man didn't look in the least bit pleased. Giving Arya's hand a squeeze he moved forward again, this time slipping up just to the side of Tate. He spared the Headmaster a curious, concerned side glance before looking back forward to the Ministry personnel. "Sabel Dakest, seventh year, and Arya Lovegoods, fourth year, from Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardy." He didn't offer them his wand as Tate did, but the parchment of invitation, just for proof.

Yup. That was her. Young Arya Lovegoods.

"Mr Dakest, nice to see you, and Miss Lovegood, thank you for coming," he grinned at the Students. Dakest had his invite out, however, "Miss Lovegood, I will just have to see your invitation as well, protocol and all that jazz, however while we are here, have a free shirt!"


He felt like a weird, Ministry employeed Santa!



"Ahh Ah Ah, I said not on the List, not in the Party"

"Prometheus you are not funny, just let me in, I am missing out! Come On!!"

"Your whining is not helping your case!"

"This is so uncool!"

"Me? Uncool, now you are definitely not coming in!"

"Where's your Boss? Hmmmm"

"I think he will agree with me, one Hudson is enough!"

She jumped when she heard something ask for her name and department so she said "Sorry, didn't realise the line had gone down. Katalin Starr, Level Four, Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures."

Gavin nodded as the man repeated his first name as if making sure he had heard the name correct. "I'll certainly try," he replied with a small smile. The law enforcement official didn't need to know it was half-faked seeing as he wasn't so sure of the whole forced day off/celebration of a man who didn't seem totally worth the effort especially by what he had simply seen around the office. Accepting the t-shirt, he nodded an absent thanks and proceeded inside.

Nigel approached the security check in that had been set-up in the middle of Diagon Alley, his long stride limited to a slow walk to match his mood. The assistant would have preferred to be anywhere but here at the moment even elbow deep in blutuber pus but Valentina had made it rather clear that with the shop closed he was expected to be there at the celebration just as she would be there. No if ands or buts to be said about it.

"Nigel Garrettson," he supplied trying not to show his full annoyance at being out of his element surrounded by a crowd far bigger then the busiest day at the shop. "I work at Slug and Jiggers," he added quietly in case it was needed to identify him.

"Thank you for the invite," her smile grew to a grin as she looked up at the nice man. Oh. She needed her invite. Pulling her clutch out of of Sabel's outer jacket pocket, she opened it and showed the ministry worker her invite. "Here it is, and thanks for the shirt..." The one she wouldn't be wearing today. Was this the man who the whole shindig was for?

"Swell," Tate tossed the shirt over his shoulder, holstered his wand, and gave the man a mock salute.

"Good day to you!"

*giggles at you RPing with yourself* xD
 

Letting her hazel eyes take in the people around her while Prometheus went through his list in search for her name, Alysson directed her gaze back at her co-worker upon hearing his comment. "I guess so. Though-" She lowered her voice slightly so the other people around her wouldn't hear her. "I'd prefer not to be here at all, really." Sigh.

Oh, she got yet another hideous T-shirt? "Do they honestly expect people to WEAR this?!" Alysson commented with a roll of her eyes before glancing back up at Prometheus with a grin. "Yes, see you around. And good luck with...this." Her eyes went down to the hideous T-shirt in her hands again. Yes, especially this.

With a small wave she went through to the actual place of the party. Let the fun begin. Or something.

"Good day." Valentina replied shortly, seeing as she neither knew the man nor did he have a name-tag. While the man was looking for her name on a list she briefly glanced at the line next to her...and got a glimpse of Nigel.

Giving him a 'don't dare to turn around now' sort of look by raising her eyebrows she turned back to take...a T-shirt? And a quite ugly one too. Especially since it had a fat man on it. What was up with that? "I am probably supposed to thank you for that but..." She trailed off, frowning down at the T-shirt for a moment again. "Well then, goodbye." Valentina ended up saying with a shake of her head while making her way to the festivity.

Other half? Guess that means Valent...yep theres the look, Nigel mused to himself as the man told him by his words that his boss was already there. The look he was getting from the woman herself confirming it silently from behind the security man's shoulder. He mirrored the raised eyebrow himself as if challenging her doubts in his ability to follow orders even unfavorable ones before looking back at the other man, the plus of being taller then most.

"I'll try," he replied cooly, taking the tshirt and nodding an absent thanks before walking through the checkpoint himself.

While Arya was getting out her invitation, Sabel took the time to unfold the shirt. And stare at it. A long stare. Really. Were they expected to wear this? His expression asked as much, but for once he remained quiet on that end of vocalization; didn't ask, couldn't say they knew. He'd just keep it as a souvenir...yes. That was it.

Given they didn't ask for wands, he didn't bother asking about that either, giving the Ministry man a polite smile and nod. "Thank you Sir. Have a pleasant day."

Hand back in Arya's he glanced down at her, a silent question to if she was ready to go.

Hecate stepped up to the security check. Her hair was swept up, and her she wore a stunning black dress, not too dressy, not too casual. It was perfect. She waited to see Gevrik who would obviously let her through right away. She scanned the area looking for people she knew... well... yeah...

Arya tucked the shirt into her clutch before closing it and slipping it back into Sabel's jacket. Nope. She defiantly wasn't going to wear that now, maybe she'd give it to someone when she got back to Hogwarts.

Taking back Sabel's hand, she gave the man one more smile before glancing up at Sabel and nodding her head, letting him lead the way into the party.
