April 18, 2026 Scorpius maintained a poker face as Renard continue to engage in his little act of self-promotion with Mr. Burke, who took it well enough but seemed very much in a hurry to leave all of a sudden. It wasn't any wonder why, though Mr. Burke was kind enough to send his regards to his father, to which Scorpius nodded. "Of course, sir," he said, watching as Burke disappeared into the crowd again.
Renard, unfortunately, had remained for the time being, though Scorpius was thankful for the entry of yet another Ministry worker because it kept him from having to converse with Renard Goyle at length. Scorpius recognized the woman as Anastasia Karkaroff, but he didn't really know her beyond her name. Quickly, it seemed, their corner of the pizza parlor was attracting a particular sort of crowd.
Although he wasn't too surprised that Anastasia Karkaroff had been able to identify him by his surname, especially considering his similarities in appearance to his father, he found it amusing that she had to ask Renard who he was. Scorpius had nodded as he was addressed, but he remained silent so that Renard could give his little spiel about "nasties" again.

▲ Burke’s exit was to be expected. The man had satiated Renard’s need to put his name out there, but made what the Goyle thought to be a semi-empty promise. Obviously if there was an issue regarding any of the mentioned creatures, he was going to be the one called. The division only had a handful of employees and very few were competent. Kolstad was the only one Renard fully trusted, and she had the night shift because she was a vampire. Scorpius seemed to be the one of interest here though, and before Renard could actually say anything to the younger man, another person approached them and acknowledged Malfoy first. Renard obviously knew of her: Anastasia Karkaroff. He kept all the names locked away in his head for when they would be necessary. Like with Burke, she had never crossed into his radar, and probably wouldn’t because of her job. “Renard Goyle. Beast Division,” he said proudly to the woman. @tag ● ### ● Song by Artist MADE BY VEL OF GS + ADOX 2.0

My head's under water but I'm breathing fine April 18, 2026 Ana merely blinked at him as he eagerly introduced himself. He reminded her of some of the more energetic interns they received who spoke too early in the morning. What business did the Beast Division have at the Pizza Parlor? Likely none, but neither did Interpol or Malfoy’s department either. So, she wouldn’t ask. But, it was uncanny that the three of them were in this corner, three of those names people might still raise an eyebrow about. And the fact that she swore she spotted Asher Burke, Head of the Department of Mysteries, lost in the crowd as well.”Nice to meet you Renard.” One mustn't forget their manners--though her tone was flat, plus she supposed (however unlikely) that one day she might need his help for something.
There was an awkward pause but Ana took a moment to survey the room, all students--some staff she was aware of. Faces she didn’t know, but then she crossed her arms and glanced at the stack of menus near them. ”Are you both here for the same reason they are?” Apparently there was some pizza thing, making them or something of the sort. While she could say that she was here on Ministry business, nobody would question her with her Interpol position but of course her eyes stayed open as well as her ears for the Order.

April 18, 2026 While slightly thankful that Renard hadn't mentioned any "nasties" that time—and especially not directly to a woman—Scorpius was a little bit disappointed that he had been spared the humor of how much Renard had been trying to impress Asher Burke. The fact that Anastasia Karkaroff wasn't the head of any departments might have had something to do with that, Scorpius guessed.
Once Renard had introduced himself, Karkaroff looked around at how many people there were there. "Are you both here for the same reason they are?" Karkaroff asked.
Scorpius couldn't speak for Renard, but he was, indeed, there for the pizza. "The pizzas here are supposed to be excellent," he explained. Assuming that she hadn't heard about the event that was going on, he added, "There's a pizza-making event today. It looks like Blishwick's recruited half of Hogwarts, so I should probably figure out where we're meant to go for that…" Adult or not, he wasn't going to miss out. "It was nice to see you."

April 18, 2026 Meeting colleagues outside of normal work hours was a pain in the ass for just about anyone, but it was made even more difficult for Sarah by the fact that she lived a double life of sorts. Thankfully, it was easy enough to cover for her involvement with the Purifiers through meeting up with other Purifiers who also happened to have Ministry connections, and one of those people was Asher Burke. Now, pizza probably also wasn't the most ideal option, but it was practically either that or the Hog's Head, and Sarah found it sort of amusing.
She hadn't meant to go to the pizza parlor while there was an event going on, but the swarm of students inside and outside of the place pointed in that direction. She and Asher probably would have been better off to go into the Three Broomsticks, Sarah thought, or even Madam Puddifoot's, though the risk of being mistaken for a romantic couple with the Head of the Department of Mysteries put her off of that idea fairly quickly.
"F**k," she breathed, somehow making it into the shop and seeing that she had been spat out awfully close to Anastasia Karkaroff. (What in Merlin's name was she doing there?!) Realizing that there was someone else speaking with her, though, Sarah knew that she would have to play nice. "Have either of you seen Asher Burke?"

▲ His own reason for being here, as Karkaroff inquired, was to avoid Ondina. Whether or not he actually made a pizza was sort of up in the air still. He neither cared enough about it nor was interested in getting his hands covered in flour, flashbacks of the last blind date he had gone on, courtesy of Blishwick. Pasta making with a princess sounded nice in theory, but he realized that day that he really couldn’t stand Sybil Windsor as much as he had tolerated her in school or at work. “Considering I didn’t sign up, I don’t believe so,” Renard answered quickly after Scorpius did. Malfoy took that as his exit though, and Renard watched him disappear off into the room. That seemed to be a theme here, for whatever reason. Deciding that he also needed to make some headway here, whether that was finding someone he could actually tolerate, or grab a slice of pizza to at least make his trip worth it. Supposedly Blishwick made it well. Somehow that didn’t surprise him. And then there was the ultimate goal of actually finding the man, though that seemed almost impossible after spending a few minutes inside the shop. Before he could hastily make his escape from Karkaroff too, another woman walked up, and Renard instantly recognized her as Sarah Oliveira. She was a werewolf. He knew because he dealt with Doris at the werewolf hotel all the time, and Oliveira was a frequent visitor prior to her little snafu. Renard felt his jaw lock as he kept his words to himself, but when she asked if either he or Karkaroff had seen Asher Burke, he took that as a chance. “Haven’t the foggiest. Good luck,” he said before turning to Karkaroff, “Pleasure meeting you.” From there, he followed the path he had seen Scorpius disappear into, assuming that was a way out. @tag ● ### ● Song by Artist MADE BY VEL OF GS + ADOX 2.0

▲ She was in line for the third time. Finn had already gone through the pizza making lesson twice already, and while she could feel the bloat coming on, that wasn’t stopping her one bit. She was positive that she could fit another one into her stomach, having purposely not eaten lunch or dinner the day prior. This whole thing was like a dream come true, and she had been hoping for a magical pizza shop to open. The no-maj places in London were pretty garbage, and she knew that was because her pizza palate was expertly crafted from her years of living in New York City. It wasn’t exactly fair to take out her disdain for the British pizza on the restaurant owners, because they didn’t know any better. But Blishwick? The man had talent. Finn didn’t know if he made it all himself or if he had an army of house elves doing it, but the pizza was good. She had been there on opening day and every free chance she had since, so she was absolutely a regular by now. If she hadn’t been working as an auror again, she was positive that this would have seriously thrown off her entire diet since it was almost eighty percent pizza the last two months. As she stood in line and anxiously bounced on her toes to see how much further she had to go to make her third pizza, she happened to glance to her side and see a couple of familiar faces standing there. Ana Karkaroff and Sarah something-or-other. They were both in the Interpol division that Finn had sort of been added to, though her classification was still as a MACUSA auror. She had been thinking of asking for an official transfer to Interpol if MACUSA ever left, but that hadn’t been brought up yet with the higher-ups she reported to. “You guys here for work or pizza?” she asked as she quickly broke out of line without thinking. A little more time to digest before pizza number three wouldn’t hurt her. @tag ● ### ● Song by Artist MADE BY VEL OF GS + ADOX 2.0

My head's under water but I'm breathing fine April 18, 2026 Scorpius remarked that the pizza here was supposed to be excellent. Though Ana was doubtful because the Blishwick reputation was not built upon the culinary. It wasn’t as if it was a Vector establishment much like that pie shop. Ana merely nodded, she was hardly an enthusiast. He took his leave to figure out more about this pizza event that was supposedly going on, that would explain the rather large crowd of students. But, immediately after another person approached. Ana didn’t know what was worse, being left with this over-eager Ministry employee or having to deal with Sarah yet again. It was enough that most of their time together had been because of that island.
”No.” Ana responded simply and it seemed Goyle hadn’t seen him either. It wasn’t entirely false, Ana had spotted him for a mere moment but then had lost him to the crowd which wasn’t helpful. But no sooner had Malfoy left, Goyle also took his leave. Though that was better than him lingering, she supposed. Ana kept her arms crossed as she looked at Sarah, it was just the two of them again. ”What do you need Burke for?” Not that it mattered, now she was just curious. Their departments were nowhere near related.
But, she heard another voice with a question that was clearly directed at her. More coworkers, lovely. Though this one was better company than Sarah. Ana hadn’t spoken to Finn often, outside of a few work matters but she was familiar because of previous Order and Ouroboros associations. ”Pizza.” Ana lied, glancing down and picking up a small menu to look through. ”What do you recommend?” Might as well blend in if she was going to stay awhile. But it was an easy lie, not that Ana had ever struggled with that skill.

April 18, 2026 Well, things seemed to be going exceedingly poorly for her, Sarah thought to herself. There was no Asher Burke in sight, as far as she could see, and she had managed to get swept up into a conversation that she really didn't want to have. Classic, wasn't it? Luckily, Anastasia Karkaroff wasn't one to make much chitchat, though she did ask what she needed Asher Burke for.
"I've got a meeting with him," Sarah answered simply but pointedly, not about to entertain any questions about the fact that it was the weekend.
If things weren't unbearable enough for her already, one of the Americans who had ended up on that side of the pond, Finn Nottingham, approached and seemed a little bit too eager to be there. Almost immediately, she asked if she and Anastasia were there for work or for pizza.
"Oh, yeah, it's some sort of team-building sh*te," Sarah mumbled under her breath. It was beginning to feel like that was what it was turning into. Not wanting either of the other women to focus on the fact that she had said that, though, she spoke louder about the actual purpose for her being there. "I have a meeting with the Head of the Department of Mysteries, actually," she commented, not caring in the slightest that she was throwing Asher's title around for clout. "Have you seen him?" Maybe if Nottingham bounced on her heels enough, she could find him for her.

▲ Ana’s greeting was a lot more welcome than Sarah’s was, though that was to be expected. Finn didn’t really have an opinion on the latter, other than there being a point where they had been on opposite sides of the same conflict. In a different timeline, Finn would have been hunting her down following the Azkaban debacle, and she was positive that Sarah knew that. There was mention of some sort of meeting with one of the department heads here, and that confused Finn slightly, as there was barely anywhere to sit, let alone the privacy to discuss work here. At least MACUSA would book a back-room in an Italian restaurant for something like this, instead of in the middle of a pizza making event. “I don’t even know who that is,” she said honestly, before turning back to see what Ana was doing. The other woman was looking at a menu, and had asked Finn what she recommended. Well that was easy. “This one,” she pointed at I Wanna Dance With Some-Pizza, which was a supreme pizza, “annnd I really like Another One Bites the Crust. I’ve had both so far.” The plan for the third one was ’You’re The Missing Pizza’ (And I love every pizza you too!), which she hadn’t even seen in person yet. Clearly that was why it was missing from her life, and aptly named. @tag ● ### ● Song by Artist MADE BY VEL OF GS + ADOX 2.0

My head's under water but I'm breathing fine April 18, 2026 Sarah's answer was one that Ana might have given herself. Short and to the point and without giving away too many details. And really Ana didn't want to pry. Asher Burke was not somebody she stuck close by too if given the chance. There was the immediate distaste of another one of those pureblood families, plus he was arrogant in every way possible. Between his posture and the way, his eyes would scan a room in the most judgemental way possible--Ana steered clear, though naturally she'd been introduced to him when she was much younger. Ana did happen to catch Sarah's comment, she could only imagine if she was forced to attend some kind of team-building against her will. Nope.
Ana watched for Finn's response, though her enthusiasm told her that she had likely been more focused on pizza than whoever else was attending. Finn happily recommended pizza choices for Ana and it was the first time she'd bothered to look at the menu. These names were....ridiculous, to be quite frank. "...Are all the pizza's named like this?" It was disordered and didn't give any indication of what toppings were on the pizza. Ana felt annoyed, why was she even here? "Both?" It had occurred to her that Finn said both. How much pizza had she been eating today and why? "Hm...I figured you would have gotten the American Pie." Ana said the small joke rather flatly regarding Finn's origins.

April 18, 2026 Great, so Nottingham didn't know who Burke was to find him, and Karkaroff hadn't seen him. Sarah supposed that she was going to be stuck there in the queue until she could find him, surrounded by a bunch of people who were actually enthusiastic about making their own pizza. She wasn't averse to it, but she easily would have preferred meat on top of meat—ideally as rare as possible—on hers.
She wasn't sure if she would find that there, given the fact that none of the names of the pizzas seemed to have a single thing to do with what they actually had on them in terms of toppings. Nottingham mentioned enjoying one called "Another One Bites the Crust", but that didn't give any indication of what that was besides perhaps a giant piece of dough. (Sarah, on the other hand, wasn't sure that her brain wouldn't turn into a giant piece of dough by the time she found Asher Burke.)
It was Karkaroff who asked what she was thinking, if all of these pizzas had been given such bizarre names. Picking up a copy of the menu so that she could see them for herself, Sarah almost instantly rolled her eyes. The names were terrible, but what did she expect from Jimbo Blishwick, really? "The 'Hold On Loosely (To Your Pants!) Challenge'…" she snorted. Complete with a heart-shaped pizza, that sounded awfully forward but fairly standard for a man whose job had been to be a matchmaker for anyone who actually put up with that nonsense.
At about that same moment, Sarah could hear the beginnings of a commotion, with someone asking if they had heard someone mention the challenge. Before Sarah knew it, she was being pulled by the arm in the direction of a table, a white paper chef's toque plonked on her head like a dunce cap.
"No, there's been a mistake. I didn't say I—" Sarah tried to cut in. With so many other people around, though, she knew not to make a scene. How was she supposed to get out of this, apart from inhaling an extra-extra-large heart-shaped everything pizza in ten minutes or fewer?

▲ “All rock and roll songs, for the most part,” Finn happily answered. Ana questioned her comment about both, and she eagerly nodded her head. “Yeah I’ve had two so far, and was in line for my third.” It came out so matter-of-factly, as if this was a normal thing for her to do on her weekends. Which it was. And had been for the last month. “Already had the American Pie. I’m making my way down the menu.” The only problem with that was that Blishwick seemed to have caught on to her plan and was steadily increasing the amount of pizzas on the menu every time she visited. Obviously it made sense that he expanded as more people ate there and offered up new combinations, but even she was starting to think it was ridiculously large for a menu. She heard Sarah mention the giant pizza challenge that was in caps and at the bottom of the menu (which Finn hadn’t even attempted yet!), and there was a flurry from somewhere within the crowd as employees appeared out of thin air and grabbed Sarah. She had uttered the magic words, and Blishwick’s people assumed she wanted to try the challenge. Holding in her laughs, Finn followed the crowd to the table and stood at the edge of it. “You have to attempt it now, Sarah. I’ll pay if you don’t finish it all in the time limit.”@tag ● ### ● Song by Artist MADE BY VEL OF GS + ADOX 2.0

My head's under water but I'm breathing fine April 18, 2026 Ana gave Finn a look. ”I’m not familiar.” Her father might roll in his grave at the thought of his daughter listening to this ‘rock and roll’ music. It was hardly what she grew up listening to. Had she heard it before? Yes, of course, but she didn’t see the big deal about such noise let alone know any names of songs to associate with this menu. But, since she was here she might as well get a slice of something--to go, she was not going to stay in this crowd. Sarah seemed amused by the menu, although Ana hardly had time to comment before a strange hat was placed on Sarah’s head and she was taken away with the crowd like a piece of parchment in the wind. A small smirk appeared on Ana’s face, especially as she didn’t offer to help her colleague.
Looking back at Finn, the smirk hadn’t quite left her expression. ”I think she’ll have fun, she deserves it.” Had it been Finn being swept away she might have intervened to help. But as Finn spoke the smirk went away. Maybe it was an American thing to overindulge but she couldn’t imagine eating so much food at once. It was hardly lady-like even for a rebel like Ana. Now they spoke about the pizza challenge and her eyes darted further down the menu. Anything heart-shaped was a big ‘no’ in her book--but perhaps Sarah could do it, werewolves often had larger appetites didn’t they? ”The Unforgivable Cheeses seems fine.” Ana closed the pamphlet in her hand and held onto it as she made her way to the growing line. ”Good to see you Nottingham.” For once, it wasn’t entirely a lie. At least it wasn’t Slater or someone else just as irritating. And she wasn’t completely interested in watching Sarah and this pizza challenge.

Good times never seemed so good I've been inclined, To believe they never would April 18, 2026 James happily walked through the doors of the pizza parlor, grinning happily as he walked past students he recognized and some that he didn’t. Lily had told him about this event and James figured he could stop by on his day off and before his plans later in the day. Truthfully, he hadn’t seen his sister since the holidays and he’d left a note for Albus to attend but he was doubtful. Among the crowd, he wasn’t able to spot his sister right away, but his eyes stopped as he spotted red hair but not his sister’s red hair. Still, he knew who that was, and rather than stand around he walked up to her. ”Hey Finn, can you believe how crowded it is?” James thought it would be mostly students, but it seemed the Ministry had a good showing as well.
Then again, he wasn’t surprised. Blishwick would have advertised anywhere and everywhere he could. The idea of a giant full-page ad in the Prophet was amusing to James, though he doubted that Cade would have allowed it. ”What’s going on here?” Looking in front, there was a large crowd and few people wearing ridiculous paper hats. But he recognized Sarah and now the entire situation became even more amusing. ”Do you happen to have a menu and have you seen my sister?” Not that he didn’t want to spend time with Finn, and he was plenty distracted by the sight in front of him.
