Ginny had more or less recovered from the evening prior. She hadn't even heard when Lily and Sirius had come back in, but she hadn't seen either of them at breakfast so she assumed it had been late. She honestly wasn't sure how she felt about Lily ... well, being a teenager and going out, but she guessed she didn't have any grounds to say anything either way. Lily wasn't married, after all, and James wasn't here. The logic didn't suit her, personally, but she didn't have to follow in any footsteps she didn't want to.

Exhaling softly, she dressed in her most respectable clothing from her limited options and did what she could with her hair. She rolled her shoulders and studied herself in the mirror and decided she looked presentable enough.

Besides, theoretically, she wasn't going to be in front of any customers and it wasn't as though this was an actual interview. It was just a chat to see if they were compatible and if the job would suit. Or if she would suit the position. She did hope it worked out; she'd love to be able to write her. She had no idea about art though, but she trusted the woman (whose name she didn't even know!) would instruct her in anything she needed to know.

The trip from the flat to the gallery wasn't horrible. She was slowly learning the bus routes (and proper change for the buses, which meant dealing with the coins), and finding that most people were fairly helpful about directions. The blokes tended to laugh a bit like she was some poor dumb lost puppy who didn't know her arse from her elbow, but what of it? Let them have their condescension.

When she finally arrived, she stood outside for moment simply regarding the exterior of the place before she let herself inside. Not generally prone to nerves, she did feel a brief flutter of them if only because all of this was so damn foreign to her, and she hated being out of her element. It made her feel off-balanced, and that was annoying.

"Hello?" She called out softly as she looked around to see if she could find the woman who'd directed her here.

Jadis shook the redhead's hand - she had to admit she had always liked redheads, they were just so fiery - and smiled charmingly. "That sounds wonderful," she said, smoothing her skirt as she rose to all full 6'1 + 3 more heeled inches of her height. "I'll be here to introduce you to everyone and get you all situated."

She had no idea she was working with a fellow magic-user but she did at least genuinely seem to like the woman. Or at least not want to murder her in cold blood, and for Jadis that was a start.

"That sounds great," she agreed with a little smile. After her hand was released, Ginny offered a little wave and turned to see herself out, the folder held lightly against her body. She did take a moment to study the gallery on her way out.

It did seem pleasant enough, and she thought she'd be able to adjust to it all and do the assigned work. Hoped, at any rate. But she was adaptable if nothing else, and she really didn't think any of it would give her an insurmountable issue. Hiccups and road bumps, sure, but nothing she couldn't get over, she was sure of it.

Feeling like a burden had been lifted, Ginny headed out to head home to let Lily and the boys know she might be employed.
