Caroline was quite thoroughly sick of the townhouse in London. She had not come to England to be kept in a house by herself. She could do that quite well back in Boston, thank you very much! No, she had come ostensibly to help Shawn. She couldn't very well do that shut up in a townhouse in a whole other city!
After hearing about Shawn’s encounter with Imogen only a few weeks before Caroline had determined that she would take matters into her own hands. It hardly mattered that she hadn't told Shawn of her plan. She knew he would have tried to stop her, but, well, nothing would be accomplished if she left the matter to him and she just kept disappearing. No, Caroline had decided to approach Shawn’s intended one young lady to another. Who knew what Imogen had thought of Shawn’s sudden appearance, after all. So when she'd seen the article about the Easter festivities she had decided it was as good an excuse as any to finally visit Hogsmeade.
After Shawn had left for the morning Caroline proposed the plan to her maid, or at least the vital parts of it like apperating to Hogsmeade, and departed for the festivities. She had seen a picture in the Daily Prophet of High Street and was confident in her skills and sense of direction to get them where they needed to be for this to have a shot.
Once in Hogsmeade it was easy to navigate her way to Padmore Park, kids scampered around looking for eggs as a decent number of young men and women did the same. Caroline grinned at that. She took a moment to take in the new sites of a fully magical and new place to her, but with a shake of her head determined she'd have time to explore another time - she had a plan to keep to.
It appeared that most of the young ladies and gentlemen were in the park. If Imogen were to be around Caroline suspected she'd be among them. She and her maid, Hope, entered the festivities in the park and mingled with the crowds.
It started innocently enough when Hope spotted a purple egg, when she picked it up it turned into a chocolate. The next one, a green one nestled in a bed of flowers, disappeared when Caroline reached it. The orange one they spotted next was another chocolate bunny. Next thing the two ladies were hunting eggs with the rest of the crowd, laughing as the eggs changed from one thing to another.
Caroline spotted a blue egg in a tree not terribly far away, being the taller of the two girls she felt she might be able to reach it. She was standing on tiptoe reaching and just barely missing it when a voice to her side distracted her. She turned and looked at the gentleman, “Oh. Thank you. ” She smiled prettily at the man, determining that he was indeed quite handsome.
The man seemed to have better luck than Caroline had had. Then again height wasn't really luck, was it? He grasped the egg and the next thing Caroline knew Hope had gasped and something slimy and cold had landed in her perfectly neat braided updo. The man's eyes widened as yellow yolk dripped down him. Reaching up Caroline put her fingers into her hair and realized yolk had certainly landed on her too. She couldn't help it, a laugh escaped her lips. He just looked so silly standing there gawking. Of course the egg in the tree would be the only one that didn't turn into something else. “Well that wasn't exactly the look I was going for today. ” Caroline said lightly wiping at some egg on the shoulder of her dress. Hope would be able to get that out - she hoped.
