"Today, we will go mostly single color suits with vests, with complimentary tie colors. The sales assistants will look at your skin tone and try to match colors based on that. Just remember this: To Muggles, image is often everything. Many muggles can take one look and tell your social rank, wealth, family structure, health, and sexuality."

The wizards looked at each other and considered that. It was almost inconceivable that just the way one dressed communicated all of that. But none denied the certainty which Ms. Ashlee Attaberry spoke on the matter.

Ashlee chuckled. "On the first day of Hogwarts – when I was 11 – my conclusions based on my Muggle upbringing about Albus Dumbledore, for example, just from the way he dresses: He's very old fashioned, comes from common but not poor roots, has never made a lot of money but has made a comfortable living, very eccentric, very well respected despite his image and so likely very intelligent and likely also powerful, he prefers men to women, and he doesn't care what people think about him personally – but does work to manipulate people's opinion on social and political issues. Not the words I would have used at Eleven – but the basic idea I had of the man."

The wizards looked at the formerly-labeled Muggleborn with astonishment. Mathias Greengrass asked, "What do you think about working for an Undersecretary directly? Higher pay and more authority."

Arthur interrupted, "Now wait just a minute! I hired her – I'm keeping her. She's too important to my new job. Get your own Muggle-raised witch!"

Ashlee blushed a little. "Sorry, Mr. Greengrass. I happen to like my current job. Give it a couple of years and we'll see."
