So, correct me if I'm misunderstanding, but these alterations - they weren't voluntary? You all just woke up with them? Because I've seen fads catch like wildfires before, but this seems a bit much.

[There's a pause that seems as if he's somewhere watching someone pass him by.] You need some color variation in the glint and glimmer, perhaps some

People start their own shops all the time. When my brothers were here, they were working on opening a joke shop, and I helped a few other friends with selling sweets and potions, too. It's not too difficult.

[threadthefire]

That's a relief to hear.

[7thborn]

Can't say I've ever met a designer, though.

[threadthefire]

Well now you can, Miss Ginny, was it?

voice;

[7thborn]

Ginny Weasley, that's right. Just Ginny's fine, though, honestly. Otherwise it's like one of my professors followed me here.

[threadthefire]

A student, are you? What do you study?

[7thborn]

Magic.

[There's no comment. A) because they've had this conversation and B) because he's been her long enough to doubt his position.

Not that he's going to admit that. Not yet.]

[Ginny releases a soft breath that almost sounds like a laugh.]

I know, I know. We don't have to talk about it, mind you.

voice;

[threadthefire]

I rather think we talked enough about it in our previous conversation.

voice;

[7thborn]

Right. Well. We have, er, normal subjects too. History and all that. So it's not entirely unusual, I suppose.

[Pause.]

Anything in specific you design, then? You're not the sort to put magenta robes on gingers, are you, because my brothers look appalling in that colour.

voice;

[threadthefire]

Clothing, make-up, hair, whatever is necessary to make a person look their best.

...it sound apalling.

voice;

[7thborn]

I'm fairly certain they designed those robes themselves. Probably picked magenta on purpose to stand out or something absurd like that. I wouldn't know, really, I never much cared for clothes or make-up and things like that.

[A touch hastily,]

But I'm sure it's very enjoyable.

No one job is for everyone. I, for example, can't cook, but there are those who do it magnificently. I appreciate and partake of their talent, while not really caring about the mechanics of it.
