Bryony approached Hard Knutt with no small amount of trepidation. Her mother had insisted she take all of Wednesday off from work and report to Pineview Hall for an early lunch. Though it was her birthday, there had been no presents or cards, no excitement. Bryony had been too nervous to eat (which was good, as Iris would only have found some detail to rebuke her for) and Iris had been distracted, ordering her house-elves around to prepare for the evening's dance. Eventually, she'd shooed Bryony away as if she'd been overstaying her welcome, instructing her to visit Hard Knutt to 'get ready' for the dance.

Eager to escape her mother's company, Bryony had agreed - thinking she could escape quickly to the studio. Until Iris informed her she'd booked her in for a full afternoon of treatments. So, without really knowing what to expect, all instructions having been owled ahead, Bryony stepped through the doors and looked around for someone who looked as if they worked there.

"Good afternoon," she said politely as she approached a counter. "I have some appointments booked. They'll either be under Bryony or Iris Capper."
