Re: Blaise and OPEN
It had been an interesting night so far for Gemma, who had foregone her usual jeans and tank shirt for something a little more suitable for a party. She was quite a few years older than most of those here, but that had never stopped her from insinuating herself somewhere, especially when she'd been invited (and she suspected that was mostly Pansy's doing). She hadn't hesitated in taking advantage of the free food and drinks, and had considered it all an opportunity to make new contacts. She couldn't possibly be the only person still interested in the kind of business there used to be on Knockturn Alley.
One of the younger ones, she remembered him being introduced as Blaise, caught her eye and lifted his glass. She did the same and put on an approachable smile.
"Of course," she replied, using her right hand to motion around the room with her glass of wine. "Any party with Pansy is an event in itself. And yourself?"
