[ video / open action ]

[Looks like this video is coming from a security camera. For once, Miss Weasley isn't out on the street doing her Christmas shopping when this curse comes around. (At least, not yet.) She's at Passioné for work, moving through the boutique with far more confidence and ease than a few months ago, helping others with their last-minute shopping.]

Morning, sir. Here, let me help you with that.

[She crosses the shop to a gentleman struggling to open the door with his purchases in hand and as she does so, a sprig of mistletoe can be seen hanging over the pair of them. Suddenly, bags and parcels go scattering across the floor as Ginny and the man get swept up in each other's arms for one hell of a kiss, deep and passionate and somewhat inappropriate for work.

When they break apart (several moments later), they grin at each other, sheepish and somewhat unruffled, save for the blushing. Ginny helps him pick up his things, shaking her head.]

That time of year again, is it? [She raises an eyebrow at him.] Not your first time, from what I can tell.



[ooc; Ginny will be at Passioné, out and around the City for her own Christmas shopping, and picking up a random late-night shift at the Blue Light later on, so have at her!]

[ Merlin's on the way home when he encounters Ginny. It's not exactly intentional, but he passes by her under a mistletoe after sending her a quick greeting, and instead stops and turns abruptly to face her.

Welp.

He's resisting, even if he knows it won't hold. ]

Ah...

[Axl is trying and failing to at least do some Christmas shopping before the weekend when he bumps into Ginny. Literally. Sorry, it's hard to notice smaller people when you're as tall as him.]

Oh, sorry mate.

[hexuality]

[Ginny's not resisting at all because she knows by now that you really can't, so she flashes him something of an apologetic smile before leaning in and tugging him close by his scarf so she can plant a solid kiss on his lips.

At least she has the presence of mind to keep it as chaste as possible because, hello, this is a married man and also the most famous historical wizard of her world.]

[hexuality]

[And the bump sends her peppermint hot chocolate sloshing in its cup but she holds it out at arm's length quickly enough to avoid splattering it all over her white coat. Ginny huffs out a breath and holds her temper, looking more exasperated than anything else, and looks up at the bloke who walked into her.]

No, perfectly alright. No harm done.

Insert lots of flailing here. She's not the first, but he's still. Getting used to it. Or something. And hopefully it won't happen often enough that he does. But he's very, very thankful that she does what she can.

When he straightens back up, he rubs his hand over the back of his neck and flashes a sheepish smile. ]

Right. Hello.

[friggmagnet]

Oh, shit! Sorry about that. I can buy you a new one?

I don't think I care for this curse.

[yourbestguysgun]

So this is where you work, huh?

[ He's pretty much trying to get around the City and get his shopping done without being swept up in today's madness. But he's curious as he passes, catches a glimpse of red hair through the window and heads on in. ]

[Ginny looks up from where she's folding some men's jumpers and beams, waving.]

Bucky, hey! Yeah, this is it. [With a bit of a cheeky half-bow.] Welcome to Passioné.

I don't mind it very much. Ron hated it, though. It happened just a few days after I arrived for the first time and he kept watching me when we did our holiday shopping.

[hexuality]

No, it's fine.

[She eyes the cup carefully then pulls a napkin from one of her shopping bags and wipes the sides of it clean and her hand as well.]

Most of it's still in there. Besides, I walked into you too.

[Ginny releases his scarf and takes a step back, clearing her throat, smiling in reply.]

Apparently the curse didn't think a wave was a proper enough greeting.

Called it.

[Action]

[destinedtobeunpopular]

It wouldn't, would it?

[ He'll just. Occupy himself with adjusting his scarf. ]

[friggmagnet]

I was being in the way, eh?

[yourbestguysgun]

So it's a clothes store? [ Glancing around himself as he wanders into the place properly. ]

Bet you're making a killing this time o' year, huh?

[aperfectthird]

I think that's a fairly understandable impulse.

[hexuality]

It's harmless, Percy. If it makes you feel any better, Harry and I spent the whole day together last year just to be safe.

[hexuality]

Part of it. This is the clothes shop, then there's a salon and a café too. I'm getting the hang of it all.

[She sets down the clothes and crosses the shop to give him a hug, shivering a little with the cold that clings to his coat.]

We've been busy, yeah. All the Christmas shoppers running around—but it's been alright. How're you?

[hexuality]

[She laughs, shrugging.]

You didn't see me. Happens a lot.

[friggmagnet]

Are you sure I can't buy you another one?

[hexuality]

[Teasingly,]

Come on. I'm not that bad at it.

[hexuality]

The curse or the fact that I'd be snogging people at work?

[brobeforehos]

That there'd be some form of cursed mistletoe or it wouldn't be a Christmas in the City.

[...not...really.]

I suppose that's some comfort.
