After testing his usual wandwork for Duelling Club, Dominic stayed to watch a few of the bouts, even snapping a few pictures of people facing up to one another, wands drawn. He wasn't sure how they'd come out, whether or not the invisible walls would get in the way of the photography. In fact, it was seeking an answer to that question that had prompted him to take his camera along more than any desire to possess photos of the Duelling Club itself. Those he would probably pass on to Seamus if they turned out well, after offering Lavender her pick of the ones of herself. (She'd looked good, Dominic wasn't going to turn down the opportunity to photograph her in that outfit.)

It was just after seven when Dominic waved goodbye, packed his camera away and deposited it behind the bar to be picked up later. He walked down Monument Alley with his sleeves pushed up, enjoying the fresh night air. He stopped outside Hot Crossed Buns and knocked. He knew the shop was closed, but also knew Megan Stewart was expecting him. While he waited, he surveyed the window displays and raised an eyebrow. Well, this could be interesting.

He caught a glimpse of her white teeth digging into her soft pink lip. Was she flirting - or nervous? It was hard to tell sometimes, especially in a professional setting where he didn't quite feel it was appropriate to flirt outrageously just to see her reaction. Even if he really wanted to. "Okay, so arches," he made a gesture with his hands. "Maybe some mirrors, gauzy curtains." That would make the space feel bigger too, without forcing customers to face their reflection on either side - presumably it wouldn't be necessary during perfume testing to see what they looked like. "Long table along one wall with... arched shelves behind to reflect the ceiling and hold more samples?"

He moved down the length of the room as he talked, pulling out his wand. "Do you mind if I take some measurements?" He waited for her nod then set the charm to working. It was broadly based on the one in Olivander's shop that measured people for their wands. "You run this place by yourself?" he asked, since they had a few minutes for chat while his spells did their work. "How long have you been here? I've never been in before." He gestured down at his own masculine frame. "Not sure I have much need of pretty underwear." He gave her a grin, because he couldn't help flirting a little bit.
