The clock had just struck seven pm when Rhad stepped into the foyer of 54 Diagon Alley. He had put a great deal of effort into his appearance today, which was saying something considering how rigourous his grooming regimin already was.
But tonight was special.
Tonight he had to preemptively convince Lavender Brown that he was the right person for her, no matter what other people might say to her down the line. And people would talk, of course they would. That pissant Michael Corner or even the great high slut herself, Daphne, would consider it their "duty" to warn her away from him. As if anything he was doing was immoral.
He sighed quietly, irritated just thinking about it. Sometimes he wished they could go back to the days of arranged marriages and skip all this dating nonsense. Then proper matches could be made and they could forego the whole frustrating dance of "attraction." That was a bigger lie than anything he'd ever said.
But tonight was about Lavender. He would have been to thoroughly charming, utterly engaging, and just humbled enough to make it seem as of he had seen the "error of his ways". As much as he deterested Draco Malfoy the man's own foray into this business would be a helpful comparison. He would be the misguided heir who, yes, once saw the world as black and white but now everything seemed so grey, and if only a beautiful, intelligent woman could help him find his new place in the world...
With that settled he struck a nonchalant but artful pose and waited for Lavender to appear.
