With a content sigh, Melinda leaned back in her chair and let the witch start working on her nails. Although she hadn’t said it, she had had her hesitations about spending the day of leisure and pampering with her friends at Hardd Knut. Not because the service wasn’t excellent – it was – but because of the attitude the owner, Jemma, had shown when the Daily Prophet had drawn Oliver’s reasons for being with her into question. It still stung to think about that, and up until now, Melinda had done just fine without frequenting the local salon and making good use of the ones she had become familiar with in Muggle London. However, both Cho and Marietta appeared to be in favour of the place, and so she had simply hoped that the owner would keep her opinions to herself and maybe even focused on either of her friends instead of Melinda.

So far, so good.

“I could get used to this,” she said with a grin, turning her head to look at her friend next to her.

Cho giggled - quietly but excitedly - when Melinda answered. Nodding without shaking her hands, she said, "That sounds great. And what if we made up the rooftop real nice? We move the furniture and I'll bring in some of the lovely sets we have for Charming Parties, it'll be beautiful, ya ken?"

"Dark red? Very va va voom of you," Cho replied, sending her friends a bright grin. Maybe the red was a good sign that Melinda was feeling better about the whole Oliver thing.

"I wish some time I could just do something silly with my nails - like bright blue or black or something," she mused out loud. "I'm pretty sure the higher echelons of Wizarding society wouldn't take too kindly to it, though."

Melinda considered Cho’s suggestion; she did love the rooftop. If any place would truly in her spirit –and Cho’s for that matter – it would be the rooftop. Personal but without letting people fully into her home. “Put up wards to keep it warm and a buffet table that will double as display table? Samples of everything from the shop? I’ve gotten a connection set up with a wine merchant, so I’ll now champagne or sparkling wine to go with the wedding cake tastings. Don’t know if you can use that in your planning?”

Lolling her head back against the chair, she rolled her eyes with a slightly exasperated chuckle. “Va va voom?” she pffed and shook her head. “Yeah, no, taking a break from both that,” she looked over at Marietta, “and the mushy for a good while. I just have two more weeks where I don’t have to worry about appearing to be hiding dirt under my finger nails.”

Marietta sat to the side of her two friends and just listened as they went back and forth about the improvements Sweet Nothings was undergoing. "I'm sure whenever and wherever you choose to have your grand re-opening it will be grand. How could it not be with Cho at the helm?"

She really didn't have much to add to the conversation. Until Cho said something about not wanting to choose dark colors. "Why would they not care for dark colors?" she asked. Her clients tended to appreciate the darker colors and many of them were from those higher echelons. "I'm going with a basic black with glitter high lights."
