Jun's offer to paint Gilderoy Lockhart had been a genuine one. She just also hadn't expected him to take her up on it. Which, perhaps, retrospectively, had been rather foolish since the man wasn't exactly known for his modesty. When that morning Jun's assistant had informed her that Gilderoy Lockhart had an appointment with Jun this afternoon to work on his portrait, Jun had given a surprised 'oh' but then grinned rather widely. She looked forward to being able to quiz Lockhart about his experience at teaching at Hogwarts. Which, frankly, was all sorts of ridiculous. Somehow, Jun suspected that the school hadn't invited him for comedy value, which just cast all sorts of doubts in Jun's eyes about the education system that her child might have to enter. As much as she joked about sending Cathy to Durmstrang, it wasn't really a joke. Sergei had done perfectly fine there, and the fact that he was now in prison was only a minor mark against the school. Plenty of people who had gone to Hogwarts were also in prison.
"Just take a seat there," Jun said to Lockhart as she showed him to the studio at the back of the shop once he had arrived and been offered some tea. She proceeded to set up the easel and find the pencils she needed for sketching. "Is there a particular way you would like to be painted?" She asked turning to look at Lockhart as she signed the question at him. It hadn't escaped Jun last time the way the man looked at her quizzically whenever she did it, but it hardly stopped her from doing it. Never had before, was hardly going to now. "I'd suggest leaning against a pillar? Or perhaps sitting down on a..." There was a small pause. "Throne?" Because that would be amazing. Especially if Jun could make the gold shimmer the way Gilderoy's hair did.
