Totally out of character, Egypt Greenwood was late. She was so upset at herself for being late she could skip her piece of chocolate before bed to punish herself. The twins were still in the hospital and since she had been sleeping there every night she didn't have an alarm clock and she was late getting home to get changed. She rushed out of the fireplace at the Prophet as she breezed into the office. Her brown eyes sweeped the office looking for signs of life and she saw everyone in the conference room.

Unrolling the parchment, she looked at the notations she'd made and said to the room at large, "I do hope you're all invigorated from your naps and coffee break."
Yes, it didn't slip past her notice that almost the entire staff had gone for a break before their seats had even managed to warm up.
She straightened her her yellow tie that was laid against her jet black button downed blouse. Her yellow pencil skirt was wrinkle free, but she still smoothed it out as well. She was glad that she didn't have to wear wizard robes like she did at the Ministry, and she was even happier that she had lost all that baby weight. Her black Jimmy Choose clacked across the floor toward the conference room. She walked in as she heard the comment by some woman standing at the front of the table. She choose to ignore it. She didn't have the energy to explain herself at the moment and the look on the woman's face told Egypt that she might not care.

He nodded at his two bosses, “Ladies.” he said before he took a seat next to a young lady and gave her a smile. He sat back in his seat and took a sip of the poor excuse for coffee which caused his facial muscles to spasm involuntary. He sputtered a little. Just Urgh!
He took a look around at his colleagues.. Wasn't that wassisface? Rocco... Riccu, Ricky Risckster Rockstar.. hmm.. the one from the conference who was with Angelina when Mosquito Woman struck. Anyway.. he gave the man a nod and said “Alright, mate?” He wondered when he would be given a chance to get properly acquainted with his colleagues. Maybe he would suggest a drink in the Leaky later. What better way to get to know each other than over a few relaxed drinks in the cozy surroundings of his favourite haunt...
Her face softened when she saw her husband. She smiled as she walked over to him and slid next to him and another man she didn't know. Her hand squeezed his knee under the table. She had only told him last night that she was going to work for the Prophet as well.
She pulled out a notebook and a thermos from her messenger bag. She poured herself a cup of coffee and her husband. She slid his cup next to his hand and then took a sip of hers and turned her attention to head of the conference table.
