Title is taken from quote, "And now here is my secret, a very simple secret: It is only with the heart that one can see rightly; what is essential is invisible to the eye," by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, The Little Prince.
Primrose had to try and blend in with the muggles. That was a daunting task. It required stealth, and the ability to sneak into Maree’s room when she wasn’t home to take something to wear, and then into Marigold’s room to steal a pair of her
shoes. It was not her typical style, that was for certain. But, from what she’d gleaned walking to the ministry and peering at muggle magazines, she wouldn’t exactly
fit in with her typical choices.
Amaryllis, however, was always doing muggle things! It was part of her job – and she had a section of her wardrobe dedicated to it. It was the perfect place to sneak something out that wouldn’t be a too far departure from what she was used to and what she would need for her night out at the
movies!
It was difficult to find a place to go out, especially in the wizarding world. There would always be someone there to see them or to pass on information to someone else. It wasn’t exactly like she was unknown and growing coverage over her and Cepheus’ supposed courtship, she didn’t really want the real thing exposed for the world to speculate and comment upon.
So, she covertly got ready for her date in muggle London – at the muggle movies! Apparently they were something like the pictures in
the Prophet, but longer – with sound – and colors! When she admitted she had no idea what Grigory was talking about, he had insisted that this was what they were going to do. He was taking her to the muggle moving pictures.
She was a little nervous, to be perfectly honest. But, she decided before someone barged into her room and asked why she was dressed how she was dressed and where she was going… no. Prim didn’t have time for that. All she could do was let Gingy know she was going
out and to keep everyone away from her room (the house elf was completely helpless against the task).
Finally, once she was ready, she let a deep breath out and went into her closet to muffle the sound of her apparition away from the estate and to muggle London. She fiddled with the strap of her bag as she took pause in the alley she’d gone into to fix her hair and smooth out her very short dress, which felt even shorter now that she was out of her bedroom. She wasn’t even sure she had a nightgown this short…
The color flared on her cheek as she sneaked out of the alleyway and looked from left to right and then finally ahead. Ah! She spotted the place –
Electric Cinema. Stepping quickly, she crossed the street, waiting for the muggle cars to slow to a stop so she could cross with the rest of the group at the corner. It was slightly exhilarating, to be in public like this, waiting for her
boyfriend. A wide smile slithered across her face and she rocked on her toes, glancing to and fro, impatiently waiting for him to arrive (she figured she would have seen him if he was already there -- he wasn't exactly easy to miss).
