where: by the auction area when: after the auction who: Damocles Belby and Alastor Moody ( @mccdyalstr )
Damocles had only planned on staying for the auction for artifacts as he did every year. But knowing that he’d be going home alone without his bodyguard who was out on a date tonight, the potioneer eventually decided to extend his stay at the carnival. The rides and various carnival games interested him little. What occupied him as the sun began to set were the countless number of food stalls Damocles could try.
He was on his fifth stall when the announcement that the auction was about to begin resonated through the air using a Sonorous charm. Personally, Damocles found the whole theatrics demeaning and dehumanizing. Taking it as a sign to leave, Damocles was about to draw his wand out to disapparate. That was until... he heard who was being auctioned first.
Fast forward to after he won the bid, Damocles sought the first opportunity to talk to Alastor alone and immediately seized the first chance that came by. “Hi. You looked uncomfortable out there so I tried getting you out of there as soon as possible. They shouldn’t have volunteered you for that.” It was an assumption on his part but Damocles would like to think that he knows enough about Alastor to be certain that he wouldn’t subject himself to this foolishness.
