Who: Astoria Greengrass & Justin Finch-Fletchley
When: Tuesday, October 5th, 2005
Where: The robe shop
What: Astoria and Justin may find out they're each other's mystery dates?
A strained smile gracing her face for what seemed like the millionth time in the last thirty minutes, Astoria inwardly sighed to herself as she placed the final pin into the robes she was altering -- they were made of a bright pink material and were currently on a twelve-year-old witch who couldn't seem to stay still for more than a few seconds at a time. It really was a wonder Astoria hadn't accidentally poked the poor girl more than she already had. She couldn't blame the girl for her excitement, though. New clothes were always fun.
"I think once we make these adjustments the robes will look lovely on her," she commented to the young girl's mother. "We'll have the changes made by Wednesday and you will be able to pick them up in plenty of time for your daughter's birthday party on Friday." As the mom thanked her and led her daughter to the back room to change, Astoria moved back behind the counter to ring up the purchase. Another sale, another happy customer. It was turning out to be a better day than she'd expected.
Most of her time here lately had been devoted to coming up with ways to find out the identity of the guy she'd met at the ball, and so far she hadn't been very successful. She'd been keeping a list of all her ideas on a spare piece of parchment -- currently hidden in her pocket -- and had been adding to it between helping customers. Most of her ideas were too far-fetched, though, and she was becoming frustrated. All these years of getting away with making up stories about people, and here she couldn't even do something as simple as find out someone's name!
She was so wrapped up in her thoughts that she didn't even notice another customer enter the store and approach the counter.
