WHO: Everyone! IC/OC
WHEN: mid-morning, Saturday, 16 December 1999
WHERE: Abercrombie & King Custom Brooms, Diagon Alley
SUMMARY: Grand Opening of the Store
RATING: Low

Aureliana had to remind herself that the grand opening for the storefront was supposed to be a celebration, but also laid-back, with the focus on the brooms rather than the party itself. A meet and greet with Jason took place several times throughout the event and kids could come in and enjoy the Build A Mini Broom station where they could "customize" a little palm-sized toy broom.

The centerpiece of the store was Jason's new racing broom for everyone to admire. If you were interested in purchasing a custom broom yourself, someone was available to make an appointment. For everyone who was not in the immediate market for a new broom, there was also a line of accessories available for purchase. Gloves, goggles, broom maintenance kits, and the like.

There is a selection of finger sandwiches, cheese, veggies, cupcakes, and Scottish shortbread to snack on. Butterbeer and sparkling wine are also available. For favors, there are little goodie bags filled with chocolate candies fashioned to look like brooms.

	Maybe a surprising appearance, maybe not, but at this party is Hylsop the Arrows Chaser. He's got his glasses on in his more 'lowkey' look and is wandering around the store having a look at the brooms. No pink on him though. Unless you squint at the red of his tie.

	Jason might have stopped over and said hello, as he has been greeting everyone. However, if Marcus looked like he would rather a wide birth and for Jason to keep his distance with his neon pink blazer he might have just given an across the room nod and salute. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Marcus pauses then returns the friendly salute. Later when things seem a bit quieter and Jason isn't doing his greetings, he'll come up beside him as if he's just casually standing and admiring the same broom.

"...Don't you want...something separate from it all? Why tie all this in?" He asked quietly, looking meaningfully at the pink and then around to the new broom store.

	Jason shrugged. "I am always a muggleborn, nothing changes that, there really isn't anything separate. Not for me.' (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"You don't want not to be...involved in all this? Have your achievements seen without the war tainting it? Or an asterisk saying 'muggleborn'? We've already been labelled for it once, why can't we just...play?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"There is always an asterisk that says muggleborn," he says very simply and certainly. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"It'd be better if there wasn't," Marcus says quietly and partially to himself. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"You're not wrong," he says his voice just as quiet. "But it is, and if I have to face it, everyone else should to, at least until we're truly able to not have to worry about our family trees so much." (Reply to this) (Parent)
