Residence | Room 517 -- Tamis Raynor's Flat on April 29, 2011, 11:00:36 AM The apartment complex was blatantly upper-class and very private in its on goings. One of those buildings where a covert whisper was the equivalent of a shout and discrepancy was a complimentary amenity. The type of place where the staff were held to a “do not ask, do not tell” policy and were too afraid of their high-dollar patrons to dare break that truce. As for the inhabitants? They were too concerned with their worldly dealings to be bothered with one another. Why should they care what their neighbor was up to when they did not even bother to learn their names?Yet, even in such a community, the oddity of the tenant in room five hundred seventeen could not go unnoticed. A single woman in her mid-thirties with no defined profession was enough to draw what gossip did exist. Though, that, believe it or not, was the least of the concerns. She had a very peculiar sense of fashion and a woman able to afford a top-floor flat should be able to afford decent style. The what’s-his-name Chairman in five hundred sixteen and the Lawyer in five hundred eighteen believed she had an exotic avian fetish – both would have sworn they had seen an owl casually passing through her window more than once. Perhaps she sold them illegally for income. Even more peculiar, the proprietor claimed that she never had an electric bill. It was as if she did not even use the lights. The woman must be incredibly frugal (might explain her marital status) -- or maybe it was to appease her nocturnal merchandise. But she kept to herself, always paid her rent in advanced, and did not cause any trouble. Most of the time she was not even there. Every building had to have ‘one’; at least theirs was well-mannered.It was an ideal accommodation for a Witch who wished for discretion both from the magical and muggle world and yet to remain within close proximity to the Ministry of Magic. Tamis Raynor's residence is a fictional, five story building in the heart of muggle Westminster, a mere couple of blocks from the visitor's entrance to the Ministry of Magic. A luxury accommodation, it caters to the whims of wealthy political and business clientele who pay to maintain a convenient and central location to London's governmental hub. Priding itself on maintaining the integrity and privacy of its tenants, the complex has twenty-four hour private security and rather prudent doormen. | LAYOUT | RESIDENTS | Skip to next post Re: Residence | Room 517 -- Tamis Raynor's Flat Reply #1 on April 29, 2011, 11:01:36 AM FloorplanRoom Five Hundred and Seventeen looks exactly like what it is; a muggle apartment converted to suit the neurotics of a pureblood witch while remaining respectful of the Statue of Secrecy. Flooded with natural light, the flat is illuminated by enchanted candles and oil lamps mounted on the walls, hanging from chandeliers, and situated free range across the various rooms. Anything suspiciously muggle has been removed and all of the light switches and power outlets have been dubiously taped over -- for good measure. Air conditioning vents have been closed off and heating elements removed, the ventilation system relying instead on the fireplace, generous supply of windows, and discrete temperature regulating charms. The abode while not of significant size, is luxurious for a single bedroom complete with an oversized kitchen, generous bathroom, and private balcony sporting a small herb garden. The walk-in-closet adjacent the bedroom has been converted into living quarters for the resident House Elf, Squeak, and compensated by a wardrobe enchanted with an undetectable expansion charm.Outfitted with upscale furnishings, the flat is immaculately clean and always seems to gleam with a perpetual sterility as if, despite being Tamis Raynor's living quarters for the past decade and a half, it is barely lived in. The fifth floor unit is equipped with a number of security measures and protection spells that, while deterring for muggles, would be highly unpleasant if triggered by a wizard.
