August 5th, 1892 — Chance L'Amour
Chance L'Amour was Ruby's usual place of operations when she met up with customers for readings unless they wanted more privacy. Even then, when it came to male customers, Ruby couldn't accomodate them with at-home readings. Her reputation didn't need to suffer any more, besides she didn't feel comfortable going to strange men's houses.
As such, she'd told Mr. Lissington for them to meet at Chance L'Amour. It was after they arranged their meeting that she found out, through her younger brother, that he was the DADA professor. The instructor back at her time at Hogwarts had been a 40-something-year-old Russian, so Ruby imagined Mr. Lissington would be around the same age.
She didn't expect a young man to come to her table and she had to admit to herself, had he been her Hogwarts professor, she might have tried harder! Mr. Zabini still had the main place in her heart, of course, but Mr. Lissington was pleasant to look at. Also, younger people were generally more fun to interact with.
"Hello, Professor Lissington," Ruby greeted. With her Hogwarts years not being that far behind her, it felt more natural to address him that way. "Shall we order some tea and get started?" One of her Tarot decks was already spread out at the table in front of her. Whenever she met up with male clients in particular, she made sure that it was obvious this was a business meeting and not one of the other sort!
