closed starter for @dolohovant
Pandora hadn’t thought much of Antonin Dolohov in the past. Not beyond their being a year apart at Hogwarts (in polar opposite Houses) and later having similar careers. For a short time. Until Panda got cold feet, as she was wont to do. When she had been pushed to think of him, she considered him rather grumpy and closed off. She might even have suspected worse, though based on what she couldn’t say exactly. All those speculations, however, seemed misattributed when she found out that Antonin was friendly with Celeste. Celeste was the personification of the Sun and Pandora couldn’t believe she would ever be friends with someone less than good. Between that, her growing friendship with Aleia Dolohov, and the hankering that had recently been bouncing around her mind, she felt drawn to contact him.
She had no idea what he would make of her invitation but she acted like it was every day that she asked to meet up with people she barely knew for undefined reasons. “Hi! Thanks for seeing me.” There wasn’t any point in messing around with small talk so she jumped straight to the point. “I was considering getting back into spell invention but I don’t want to work for the Ministry again. I wondered if you had any advice about finding paid work.”
