Rating/Warning: TBA

Dean arrived with a satchel slung across his chest holding his school portfolio and also some miniaturized examples of the work he'd been doing lately. The school portfolio was all muggle, of course, but he had some wizarding portraits and sketches that he could show as well. He wasn't sure how comfortable he was working for the Ministry, but if he was going to be opening his own gallery it was a good idea to get his name out as much as possible, right? And to make contacts. Besides, Ron had asked him to talk to Percy, and as far as Dean was concerned he'd do about anything in the world for Ron that he could. Ron deserved it.

So he walked into the little bakery and looked over the scones and pasty selection in the display counter before taking a seat and waiting for Percy to arrive.

	Dean shrugged. "Mock ups aren't worth much of anything, mate. They're just like... rough drafts. Sketches of ideas. But if you want six paintings I guess the cost depends on the size you want. I mean, are we doind Millimants Marquees, or something to go into a frame, or a mural in the ministry, or what?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"I think we should start with six protypes, and if you can device a few more, that might work. It's not an advertising campaign, exactly. It should have a far more personal feel to it, even if it is sort of selling positive attitudes and what not. And you know Dean, here's a challenge. I think putting them in places for any wizard to see would hearten them, you know? Give them a boost of moral, so even if it can be viewed by the Muggle world, or maybe something overlaid with a Muggle type image. A boost in plain sight, helping people feel like this is their world again. It's appalling how many are still scarred by it all. No one escaped and we all need to know we are still about. I like the idea of paintings. Big ones too. Billboard size, hell, maybe even up in the Tube."

Percy paused, letting his mind shift off of Lavender, "What do you think?"

He shifted through the pictures again, trying to act as if he was looking at each one intently when all he wanted was to catch a glimpse of her again. He found it, and he tried to not stare at her smiling face as he looked over at Dean. He could tell Dean saw it all, and he flushed again, "I guess I have it pretty bad."

"That sounds like a good idea. Whatever I make can be tranfigured whatever size you want it, really, so I'll do some prototypes that are small and we can go from there. Subway tubes and billboards work. They do it in the big cities in the States all the time - just a charm so that the muggles don't really notice it, works just fine."

Dean shrugged, then watched the way Percy seemed to keep going back to the portraits and sketches of Lav. He laughed, and at least Percy realized he was caught.

"Here, mate..." he took the napkin that was lying unused on their table and took out his coloured pencils. About fourty five minutes later, during which Dean couldn't have been disturbed even by a war erupting outside, the napkin transformed. It wasn't the best he could do, of course, it was rushed and not in the best medium, or with his paints, but for napkin art, he thought it turned out alright.

"Just for you. A Dean Thomas original."
