Pureblood Wizards Invitational - European Cup
Who: Any pureblood wizards coming to the meeting
When: August 19, 2020 - midmorning.
Where: Private hexed tent (Set up and protected with a Fidelius Charm)
Status: In-progress



The nice thing about providing for the cabal, Nigel reflected, was that he had no fear of arriving late. The tent they were to be meeting within had been set up the night before, and as it hadn't been used enough to acquire the usual buildup of junk that occurred with such things, it had taken only a small bit of spellwork to get the place all shipshape and ready: a simple meeting hall, with a door at either end. One to outside, one to the hall--clean and simple, just the way things needed to be. At the end opposite the door to outside, a fire burned in the hearth. The hall was monopolized by a large mahogany table, high-backed chairs set on either side of it. Just as he remembered, just as he'd always seen.

Of course, his own appearance was probably never a part of that image. His shirt wasn't tucked in, his boots ran up to his knees, and his hair hadn't been so much as trimmed in months (at least he'd seen fit to make sure his facial hair was at least presentable). A gigantic hat sat on his head, declaring his allegiance to Puddlemere United, dark blue and singing its heart out silently (he'd decided that perhaps the Puddlemere fight song wasn't perhaps the best mood to begin the meeting in).

Still, he would keep it with him until they were about to begin.

With the time for the meeting to begin fast approaching, Nigel took a seat at the head of the table, resting one leg up on the table.

They would be coming soon.

Of course it was--would he have allowed it to be anything else? The smile on his face grew then, as Nigel took a step back and straightened. "I am glad my choices seem to be so well received," he said, picking an invisible piece of lint from his lapel and hooking both hands into his pockets. "And I am, of course, so very pleased that I was given so early an opportunity to provide for the coterie."

Of course he was. Who wouldn't have been?

"Now, I do believe that I was informed that you would be heading this little meeting of ours, correct?" A small smile remained as he linked arms behind his back, waiting for the response. It would be in the affirmative, he was sure. His sources were rarely wrong.

"Mm. It seems my opinions haff become known enough to most that I vas suitable," was the headmaster's gruff response--Nigel nodded once, slowly, pleased.

"We've left a seat for you at the table's head, then," he declared, gesturing towards it. "Please, if you will..."

He trailed off as he strode back around the table, waiting until the headmaster had been seated before resting both hands on the table and leaning into it. "Well, then, all here, aren't we?" he asked aloud, sending a winning smile around the gathered as he waited for the various conversations to come to a close. "Might I bid you all welcome, as I will be playing the role of your esteemed host this fine day? You may refer to me as simply 'Nigel.'" Taking a step back from the table, he stepped into a dramatic bow, his hair dropping past his shoulders and back as he straightened up. "Please, do not hesitate to ask if something can be done to make this meeting more... pleasant."

Perhaps it would be pleasant. Then again, perhaps it would not be.

"And with that said, I shall pass the torch to my esteemed colleague, and the man who shall be the head of today's talks." Nigel settled himself into a chair finally, resting one foot on the opposite knee and lacing his fingers in his lap. "The table is yours, herr."

The meeting had officially begun.
