Andromeda and OPEN
Andromeda couldn't be more pleased. The event was important for St. Mungo's and she couldn't be more appreciative of the Carrows' support. She had spent a while with Ted dancing, but after that felt her duty to mingle with others and talk about the future of St. Mungo's on her shoulders. And Administrative Head, she knew that a lot of possibilities were riding on the event.
Yet, still, the death of Charity Burbage was on her mind. The woman had been a dear friend, and it was difficult to celebrate knowing that one of their own community had died with such questions surrounding her death. It had taken a lot of effort not to examine the body herself, but she knew that it wasn't her place to do so. Instead she'd turned gratefully to Ted, with tears and questions and feelings of guilt that there wasn't more she could do. She had chosen to wear black to the event, as the death felt far to recent.
Taking a small break, she explored the rather expansive dessert table. Ted was sharing a dance with another friend, and she was starting to fill lonely. Strawberry Shortcake could clearly fill that void, and she smiled as she filled her plate with sweet choices. Her hand intercepted another when she reached for a fork, and she drew her own back with a bit of a laugh. "I'm sorry," she smiled, "I'm over-eager to taste this."
