Re: Art Gallery
Blaise had allowed Jean to introduce him to one of the most avid Muggle art collectors that had been invited. The man seemed very eager to get his checkbook around part of the Burlase collection. The conversation was dull and the company enough to make his skin crawl, so when Blaise saw Pansy enter, he quickly excused himself.
By the time he'd meandered to her location, Pansy had thankfully lost the Muggle she had in tow. Blaise had the hardest time wrapping his mind not only around the fact that she'd interacted in the Muggle world while supposedly in hiding, but also around the fact that she continued to let this man have any pull over her now that she had returned to her rightful place.
"See anything you like?" he asked noting how she'd left him before a painting scribbling down a number. He wondered if he should tell Pansy how the bidding was to work or just let her see whether or not her chosen artwork would become hers. He also made a mental note to ensure he told her how to access the lounge.
