Although really just starting for most people, Lavender already felt like she had quite the morning. From nightmares to confessions and yes even breading Challah bread, mentally she was ready for a nap. However, Lavender Brown had always been oddly proud in the fact that she could be worse than she looked. It was an art form of sorts and really a necessary mechanism for dealing with the world - Percy Weasley included.
Tempted as she had been to cancel or ask to reschedule the meeting she decided against it. From what Penelope said about Percy, she knew she might not have this opportunity again. Going into the meeting, Lavender knew it wouldn't be the best, she just needed to stay on task, press for the answers she needed and not get distracted.
After the ordeal of checking in at the Ministry entrance, she was directed toward Percy Weasley's office. Lavender wasn't sure what she should expect, and was hardly prepared for anything, but she was here now. There was no turning back.
Knocking at the door to grab his attention, she spoke. "Hello, my name is Lavender and I believe I'm your quarter to nine appointment."
