The conference room is not your average conference room. Set up in the same place as the employee offices it is only separated by a glass bubble around it. This area is used for division meetings, department meetings, interviews, investigations, and anything else that level five need to have an nice please to meet. The open area makes it easy for the employees see if visitors are coming or if appointments have shown up early, but the room itself is soundproof so that the outside noise will not disturb them from hearing and focusing on what is going on.

Even though the day was just starting and the ministry was all about work again it was not the first time Erec had been in level 5. No, he had been there getting the floor ready for the employee's first day back. He had reorganized and remodeled a a bit. He had looked at positions and saw what was needed and changed a few things around., but there were a few things still needed on the agenda that he was eager to ask his employees.


Coming in early that morning he went to level seven where he heard had the best coffee and ordered enough for all the employees. As well as bringing in donuts and other pastries. Sucking up wasn't just for employees to the boss now was it? Starting off on a good foot seemed to be the way he wanted to work.


Finding a seat at the head of the table he took a sip of his own coffee and glanced around the department. Lucky for him the conference room was literally a glass bubble so he could see everyone coming and going.

Swedishfish Girl! Madame Librarian! Jess's Soul Sister! Sweetest Swede!

It was back to work day.

Claudette had tried on 4 dresses that morning before she had settled on blue jeans, a nice red blouse and earrings and make up of course. Luc had laughed at her and said that she was acting silly, but she had ignored him. She wanted to make a good impression on her new boss and clothes helped. Coming in early Claude stepped out of the lifts and just stared around for a moment feeling totally disorientated. The new boss had really remodelled and reorganized over the holidays that much was clear. Hopefully her cubicle was still in its usual place.

Bypassing the announcement board, Claude read the memo of a department wide meeting and went to her cubicle to pick up her notepad and writing utensils before she headed to the glass bubble. Opening the door, the blond stepped inside the bubble room and smiled broadly albeit a little nervously at the man sitting at the head of the table. "Good morning, I'm Claudette. I work in the Immigration offices." Was he her new boss or another new employee, like herself?

Claiming a seat near the head of the table the blond slipped into a seat and placed her notetaking material on the table. Were the pastries and coffee for everyones taking?

Ellie walked into the office, convinced she'd be the first one there, but - no. As she approached what she assumed was the conference room (since there were two people already inside), she began to feel nervous. She wasn't late, surely, there must be load more employees. She was always late. She'd made such point of getting up early today to try and rectify that. She'd even skipped the whole process of styling her hair - well, not whole, but blow-drying and brushing hardly counted.

It was most unlike her. But her make-up and attire were immaculate, as always, so she figured the heir might be forgiven. Besides, she was wearing new red Jimmy Choos. That had to count for something.

Picking a spot opposite another blonde, she smiled as she walked towards it.

"Morning," Ellie said, shrugging off her coat and hanging it on the back of her chair before sitting down. "I'm Ellie Bloom, by the way," she introduced herself. She had a feeling the man was her boss. But the woman - no, she didn't know her. Yet.

She did love that red blouse, though.

And then, the smell of coffee wafted towards her. Oh, what a glorious smell that was!

Hair forgotten, Ellie reached out and poured herself a cup.

Approaching the conference room, Charles kept his look of disgust firmly in his head. Having everyone watch them work wasn't exactly his idea of fun and he liked having his own little area to work in and keep tidy to be able to work without people looking over his shoulder. He just had that bad feeling that said he really wasn't going to like this. Straightening up his tie, Charles moved to sit in a seat and gave them all a nod of greeting. He'd already met Erec and was content to sit quietly with his parchment, quill, ink and coffee. Good coffee. Really good coffee. Someone was trying to impress them.

This particular employee had chosen a different way to enter the room. Though, those that had worked with her the past year shouldn't really be surprised, as she liked to do this from time to time. The "disillusioned statue" bit that was. But Sky decided that now might be a good time to reveal herself, since the room was quickly filling up. So, with her own coffee (plus a couple of donuts), she plopped herself down in a seat next a new woman (Ellie) and cancelled the disillusionment spell. "Sky Carter-Hope, Magical Product Tester and Security Council Member, at your service!"

She liked the way the work space had been changed, by the way.

Pumped and ready to work, Ryden in his signature three-piece suit, tucked his journal under his arm while he held a copy of the Daily Prophet, and a tumbler of hot tea. The man already had a dose of his caffeine earlier in the morning, which was enough to keep him energized until lunchtime. Pursing his lips together as he approached the bubble conference room, Ryden grinned at his punctual co-employees. Not late? That was a very good start.

Tucking away the Daily Prophet with his journal, Ryden pushed open the door and gave everyone a pleasant grin. “Goodmorning, Monsieur Delacroix. Everyone.” He said as he walked past the others and chose a seat next to Charles. “Morning, Mr. Taylor. Ryden purposefully skipped the ‘good’ in his greeting, sensing that the man was not in a very good mood. He gave the man a quick tap on the shoulder before he claimed his seat and placed his leather bound journal and newspaper in front of him. “Still no news from Hogwarts...” He said quickly as he leaned closer to Charles to murmur his words, and tapped the Daily Prophet with his index finger.

She wasn’t late. Even if anyone tried to say she was, Kendall wasn’t about to admit it. She also wasn’t one to make excuses, especially when it was rather obvious that she wasn’t quite as obsessed with fashion as some of the other women in the Ministry. Granted, as usual she’d had to basically escape from the twins, more accurately the younger set. She wasn’t about to blame them though, either. She just wasn’t late, and that was that.

Although she’d spent some time exploring the changes to level five once she’d gotten there. The plus side was that it was completely obvious that there were still people who hadn’t arrived yet. She could see that there were only a handful of people in the conference room. Points to the new head for making that change, and she’d tucked a bright pink strand of hair behind her ear as she’d finally headed for the entrance to the bubble. “Morning everyone!,” she greeted the group inside brightly, making a beeline for the coffee and choosing a donut for good measure before taking a seat near Claudette. Chocolate, of course. She wouldn’t have chosen anything else.

Well well… looks like there are a lot of new things this year isnt it?

The new Trading Standards Division Head was already in a chipper mood that morning, and seeing the new layout of DIMC added to that elation even more. Heck she was actually smiling, a contrast from her usual cool, superior-than-thou smirk that she usually wears in these sort of gathering.

Regina enters the conference room-- which she now will always refer to as the Bubble Room-- and flashed a disarming smile at their new Chief "Bonjour Monsieur Delacroix." Yes she made sure she knew who he was, even if he hasn’t met her personally at the Orientation too busy stalking

She glanced at those who were present, and immediately noted her staff-- Kendall, Sky, the new girl Eleanora-- ah nearly perfect attendance from her division. Good good, boss is happy. Just missing one more noobie-- aka designated division slave for being late-- and Emily, who is dead… errr missing. Serves her right for daring to look as good as her.

The brunette took her place next to Charles-- because Division Heads who are impossibly beautiful sit next to each other no?-- and gave him a smile only reserved for impossibly beautiful bosses "Charles good morning."

Rhibear ~ Madam Solo ~ Dark Brooding Girl ~ Accio Jedi ~ Gryffinclaw ~ Just a doll

Katja had been working in the Department of International Magical Cooperation for two years now, and so far she wasn't rising through the ranks as quickly as she would've liked. Hopefully that would all change soon; a new department head meant a fresh start! She hurriedly adjusted her fascinator, placed her compact in her handbag, and sauntered into the conference room wearing her most charming smile.

Her eyes darted around the room, taking in the new layout. Goodness gracious, and here she'd always thought Mr. Yenorin had terrible taste in decor! But this... bubble was even worse. When she was in charge, the first thing she was going to do was redecorate this whole floor in her signature shades of blue and magenta! She was careful not to let any disapproval show on her face, however. Criticizing the new boss's taste was not the way to make an impression!

"Good morning, everyone!" she greeted the group, nodding politely at the gentleman at the head of the table who she assumed must be Monsieur Delacroix. "I'm Katja Westergaard, Scandinavian consultant." The blonde Danish witch's smile widened a bit as she spotted the coffee and doughnuts. "How incredibly generous! Thank you!" Another nod toward Monsieur Delacroix, just for good measure. She helped herself to a cup of coffee and a raspberry jelly doughnut before taking a seat near the middle of the table. With her notebook and prized pink fwooper quill neatly arranged in front of her, she daintily nibbled her doughnut as she waited for the meeting to start.

Emily Valentine entered the conference room and made her way over to the seats, a thin smile glued to her otherwise expressionless face. Today she had cut her bangs off and was wearing a light blue, tight suite laced with white and a blue ribbon sealing it at her neck. Behind her, floating in mid air, was a large, frilly pink quick quotes quill. It hovered in the air two feet behind her with a floating notebook inches below it.


"Morning everyone. Good morning Mr. Delacroix," Emily greeted the room and her boss cheerfully. Her quick quotes quill and notebook moved to be floating inches from her right shoulder. "I hope no one minds my quick quotes quill taking notes on all of you and this meeting. I used to be a reporter so I like recording things. If it is a distraction then I shall.....cease and desist." Or maybe she wouldn't, it depended on who was asking. She smiled sweetly and pretended to focus on staring at her donuts.


Meanwhile her quill was making notes on Mr. Delacroix the Bossman, Katja Westergaard the cheerful Scandinavian consultant, and Ms. Regina Roa.

Sipping his coffee he realized it wasn't long until he saw his employees making their way into the conference room. He stood as a woman came into the room and nodded his head, "Good morning Claudette from immigration offices. It is nice to meet you."[ As another woman walked in he gave her a warm smile. He remembered her from the orientation. "Good morning Ellie."

Erec saw as Charles came in quietly and he got a nod. "Good morning Charles." He was hoping with Charles help he could make sure the department ran very smooth and transition would barely be noticed. Then someone just appeared in the room and Erec gave her a nod, "Morning Miss Carter-Hope." Sipping more of his coffee he was delighted at the early turnout for the meeting.

Yes, yes they would be all here soon he would be starting. Rayden was the next one to come in and he got a nod as well. Two ladies came in next Kendall and Regina "Good morning ladies." He looked at the table thinking about grabbing a pastry when the next set of people "Good morning Katja" He hoped she had gotten the owl about the titles switching a bit with the consultants, but that was something they could talk about later. "Good morning" He nodded at Emily as she walked in.


He figured it was time to get started, "As most of you know I am Erec Delacroix your new department head. I hope you all like the new arrangement of level five. I like openness and working as a big team." he open spaces kept his claustrophobia away as well. "With the opening of the ministry I thought it would be a good time for us to reorganize many things in the department. I have quite a bit of tasks coming up for many of you. Going through things I've noticed that some lack of up to date areas. Visas seem to be one of them and connections with other department. Does anyone know where we sit with creatures and environmental when it comes to illegal trading items that need kept? How about immigration issues and the relationship we have with MLE?" Simple questions to see how much level five did or did not know.

Could she sink through the floor out of embarrassment already? If it was possible Claudey would have done so for not knowing that she had just met her new department head. In hindsight she should probably have put the two and two together at Orientation the previous night but she hadn't. Reaching out to grab a pastry from the plate Claude nibbled on it in silence as she watched everyone else file in from Charles and Ellie to Kendall and Emily.

Kendall beside her got a warm smile but Claude didn't manage to whisper a question to her friend about her holidays before Erec began the meeting and explained the remodelling that she had seen witness of already and been disoriented by. The first question that came out of Erec's mouth about the current state of affairs with illegal trade items felt like a question directed mostly to Regina and those who worked with her like Kendall and Emily.

The second question Claudette felt was more directed to her so she piped up with a glance to Ryden, Katja and Charles. "We've got some immigration cases that we are working on but I suppose our relationship with the MLE department has room for improvement." Unless you counted her personal life which drew her attention to the engagement ring Luc had recently put on her finger.

Honestly? Honestly, she did everything in her power to avoid having anything to do with Environment, Creatures or MLE. Environment because she didn't have the time or patience to hunt down their always absent department head, Creatures because they were NUTS, and MLE because there had been some bad blood left between her and some within the department. Though, now Gidyun was head over there, that should be gone (thank goodness).

"Well, finding the Environmental head to ask them anything about anything has proved difficult in the past. Creatures, however, I think we're pretty solid there, as far as I know. But Kendall and Regina probably have more information than me on that." Because creatures, blegh. "And I agree, our relationship with the MLE could use some work." A lot, actually, in her eyes. But a different department head should definitely make it easier.

Not to mention, making all their jobs easier.

As arranged, another level meeting for the new minister to briefly pop in on. Althea Scabior stepped inside the conference room, remaining silent and not particularly trying for some grand entrance. She would wait quietly until Delacroix saw fit to acknowledge her, and then she would be quick to say what needed to be said, and then move on and leave the International Cooperation employees to their business. She knew they had plenty to do and she had a very healthy respect for the importance of their work. Her own schedule was, of course, just as filled so she couldn't dally long.

"Morning, Mr. Delacroix." he greeted the man back, choosing to keep it completely formal in a meeting where he'd not even introduced himself yet. Charles' brown eyes turned to the woman who seemed to have been hidden from their eyes chose to reveal herself. Saying nothing, Charles just watched her sit and explain who she was. He was too busy thinking about Scotland. Her skirt had kickstarted something in his mind that he hadn't thought about for a long time. The only thing that brought him back to the conference room was Ryden sitting next to him. "Morning, Mr. Reed." Wasn't that a funny name? The alliteration had Charles momentarily distracted at the delight of realising it, but Ryden seemed to demand his attention once more. "Oh no." he replied softly. "I do hope all is well and they contact you soon." See? He could be sympathetic and human-like!

The pink hair that was followed by a cheerful voice had Charles looking in the offender's direction. He gave her his usual nod and once again looked to the door as Regina joined them. Her greeting to their new boss gained a raised eyebrow from Charles, but he wasn't going to comment. She was free to do what she wanted and address people how she deemed appropriate. As she took the seat next to him and finished boxing him in so the only way he could go was backward, he gave her another of his nods, but followed it up with "Good morning, Ms. Roa. I hope you're well."

Once he'd finished his sentence, he was assaulted by pink once more. It was like a pinata had been acquired by several two year old girls who were armed with paint and glitter. Fortunately, Charles kept this in his head as well as his disgust and surprise at the monstrosity that was on her head - was that a bird's nest that had been sprayed pink and attached to a hat?? Deciding that the blinding nightmare that was her outfit was enough of an attack on his senses, Charles looked away and focused anywhere but on Katja. Whilst staring at the door in attempt to keep his disgust to himself, someone else entered the room even though they were bordering on being late. As soon as she asked about her quill, it all made sense to Charles. A reporter. He'd be steering clear of her. He didn't mind her taking notes, but if he saw any of this in any newspaper ANYWHERE, he knew who to talk to first. Mhmmmm.

Once Erec started to interact with them as a group, Charles looked from the reporter woman and focused on their boss. What did they say if they didn't like the arrangement? Nothing. That was the obvious answer. At the mention of their records not being current, a frown crossed Charles' face until Erec explained. Ah. He could see that Erec was attempting to see what people knew, so he chose to stay quiet for now and let people speak for themselves. Once Claudette spoke up and glanced his way, Charles gave her a nod of encouragement. He did agree with her assessment of the interdepartmental connections, but only offered her a tiny nod to assure her.

The next person to talk was Sky and her comment on Environmental wasn't exactly... positive. Resisting the temptation to interrupt, Charles took the lid off his ink well and just listened instead. Once she'd finished, the man took his turn to speak up. "Our relationship with the Law Enforcement department has just been strengthened since our old department head now works there and understands the workings of both departments. I'm sure Mr. Yenorin will be more than happy to interact with all of us should we have an issue." Obviously. Hadn't anyone worked that out yet? Doing his very, very best not to look in Sky's direction, Charles continued, ignoring whomever had just walked into the room. If they were an employee then they should be ashamed of being late, if they weren't, then what were they doing here?

"Personally, I've never had any major issues with any departments and I find they're all quite happy to do their part if we ask of them exactly what we require. When we expect them to just know what we need, we do not move forward, in fact, we step backwards because then frustration is present in both departments. As long as we ask for what we need and keep them informed, they will return the favour and we'll all get along very well." That was experience talking there. He'd had long enough to work it out, the man was in his sixties, for goodness sake!

No one seemed to mind Emily's quick quotes quill. (It seemed to make Charles a little anxious, but not enough to complain) Good, that really pleased her. After a few minutes it stopped recording everything so madly, instead only focusing on the questions from Mr. Delacroix and relevant answers.

She raised her hand and cleared her throat. Only one part of the question she could answer. "As an undercover buyer and magical trade personnel, I occasionally have to coordinate with people from MLE when conducting an undercover operation. Most of the time I don't since the wizards I'm buying from are not typically dark wizards, not even close, but whenever I am going into Knockturn Alley I am sure to notify them. They are always very helpful whenever I need them."

And she lowered her hand. The sound of the door opening made her turn to see who it was. Ah, someone from the Minister's office.

Charles got himself a tired grin from Ryden as he sat back on his chair and gave his copy of the Daily Prophet a good stare down. “Soon, is apparently taking too long.” He murmured as he straightened up in his seat, and gave those who trailed after him a warm smile. Kendall, Regina, Katja, and Emily all got nods and greetings as they came in.

***


As soon as Erec started talking, Ryden unbuttoned his jacket, and quickly opened his journal to take down notes. Openness and working as big team? Ryden gave Erec a quick glance, and then immediately shifted it to the other employees present. Could that mean that they have a big mission coming up? He knew working in Level 5 was a tedious job, so what could possibly come up this time? Updates were being asked, and Ryden nodded in understanding when Erec mentioned Immigration matters. The newly promoted consultant hasn’t had the chance to see the division’s problem at a deeper level yet, so he opted to remain quiet for the time being. The 42 year old caught Claudette’s glance, and just like Charles, he encouraged the young woman to keep talking.

Ryden sat back, and relaxed a bit when Charles took the turn to speak. The blue-eyed consultant glanced up at the ceiling, as he tried to figure out the next possible steps for their department and the MLE. “We do have issues with Immigration, as what Miss Claudette has said earlier. Although these matters can be handled easily, I am inclined to tap the MLE when it comes to monitoring and tracking those who come and go in Wizarding Britain on a larger scale, most especially those who hold temporary visas.” He said as he leaned over the table giving the Immigration team a quick glance, and then to Erec. “Although there are no reports yet about massive illegal immigration, I suppose we can already come up with a plan to avert such crisis before it’s too late. To start things off, perhaps we can provide them with a list of illegal immigrants so they could add it in their watch list.” You know, make them do the legwork? Ryden wasn’t sure if his new team knew how an outdated database could screw up their border’s security. “Also, we might want to tap the Committee for Experimental Charms in Level 3 to help us come up with the right Tracking Spell? This should help the MLE, and us ultimately, in monitoring visa holders.” Ryden picked up his tumbler from the table and took a sip of his tea.

"As well as I would ever be Charles." she smiled. Oh Charles, always the charmer. Even if she can plainly read thats probably not what he feels. She is totally projecting her feelings onto him because a face as pretty as that? Yes totally justifiable in making him squirm. And the same applies to you too Ryden Reed, Mr Rawrr.

Her chipper mood soured a bit when Emily walked in, her puppy quill in tow. Apparently she's not dead, and still dared to look as good as her. A nice fake smile and wave to you dahling.

So at least that makes her division mostly complete. The noobie looking to be a no-show she will deal with later. Her new office looks a little bare, maybe a lifelike statue would help spruce it up a bit no?

Meeting was starting, and it sounds like the new boss didnt just spruce up the office but on their projects too. She was listening to Sky and Emily speak when she caught sight of the new Minister. Yes she knew who she was and she had to fight the urge to leap out of her chair and shake her hand and be all impressive. Eager beaver is sooo not Regina Roa.

But yes now it was her turn to speak "I've been doing some initial sorting out of my predecessor's files...." which was both scarce and a mess, but held that detail back, what with the Minister listening in "... and I think a new system should be set in place in documenting and tracking any and all items of interest coming in and out of our jurisdiction-- both legal and illegal, and not just those coming from Creatures and Environment, but from other departments as well-- Transportation, Games and Sports, the Minister's Office.... all departments." even Mysteries. Imagine the holy grail of valuable items and intellectual property in there. "I also feel our current storage facilities are inadequate and unsafe so I would also propose to find a more suitable and a more secure location."

So the very first thing Erec realized was team meetings and possibly some training was in very high demand so people knew exactly what their positions were was the first step. So much mention of MLE was concerning when immigration officers were called officers for a reason. He would be checking their files to make sure they had the training and background for the position and then really making sure they knew what they were allowed and not allowed to do. [b] "Well I think your old department head being part of MLE will help that too, but I would hope we wouldn't have to put more work on them in their already busy schedule in less we needed search warrants or actual arrests. "We would have to be very careful n the way we go about any charms. Actually tracking people could be considered illegal in some ways, but I do like that idea." Any thoughts and ideas would be wonderful to have.

"Immigration officers remember are the ones that do the monitoring of immigration not MLE, we are responsible for keeping track of all that. MLE comes in when something unlawful is happening. So we do want to make sure we are not over stepping our request for them to do things when they have enough work on their own. I do like the crisis plan for illegal immigrants. People come for many reasons so we should never just jump with thinking they are there for wrong doings. Our jobs are to find them and help them get what they need or figure out if they are in need before deciding if they need to be removed. "

He looked to the other employees that had concerns about other areas, "Well I would like to try to make sure we have good connections with all departments. Like it was said we do use all of them for help. We are the prime place for the start of things they will hold for us or help determine if items have been tampered with or need to be sent somewhere else. So these are not departments we want bad blood with. So one of my main goals is to get some of you out to speak with them or have meetings here with their representative to update all our procedures." Looking at Skye he nodded for her to know that he jotted down what she had said and would look into it. " As undercover buyers I would like you to keep safe so I think some division meetings and training will be happening soon to help you with this. We need to be working with every resource we have. I have gotten an owl recently that one of the shops might have some smuggle items in it so I will need to be meeting with you soon about that."

He looked up when he heard the door again and gave a small smile, "Hello Minister, thank you for stopping by." He'd pause his meeting for a moment to allow her time to speak to the group.

Giving Emily a glance when she spoke up, Charles nodded. That was definitely something that the woman should be doing. "I'm assuming MLE are more than happy to keep an eye on you and make sure you're safe." he replied with an approving tone. His gaze and attention turned to Ryden when he spoke up. He didn't like the idea of using MLE to monitor and track. Maybe they could give them a few tips and pointers, but the department had to do some work of their own. The crisis plan was a good idea, though. He did agree with Erec on that. Adding to his words, he spoke up to make sure everyone knew he agreed with Erec. "I doubt MLE will be overly pleased with more work on their plate even if Gidyun is the one leading them now. They already do so much and we have immigration officers who are employed to keep an eye on and deal with illegal immigrants." Charles also agreed that the spells would be unwelcome. "People want their privacy. They're here to work, visit, live or something else along those lines. They don't need to feel like we're watching them every second."

The other words from Erec actually gained a proper nod from Charles. Jumping to conclusions with half the story was useless. He was musing over that for a moment, but when Regina spoke, Charles looked at her once more and gave her a curious look. "When you say all departments, are you also including those that have high level of security? Because I don't believe that we have the jurisdiction to go into those departments without express permission and going through a LOT of red tape." That would take at least a year to set up! He looked back to Erec when he acknowledged the undercover buyers thing. "Maybe we could get some training from level two for those who are going out. It would likely be basic, but basic is better than nothing." He knew that they wouldn't mind that, it would mean less work for MLE if they took a little more time at the start of the year. Once he'd said his piece, Charles looked to the Minister and fell silent so she could speak to them all.

Listening to Delacroix speak to his employees, Althea nodded her approval once, just barely. Yes, he would do very well here. And that was useful given some of the plans she had would be particularly relevant to this department. His employees too, they all sounded professional and intelligent, just from the few minutes she'd heard them discussing matters. This also boded well for the future of Magical Law Enforcement, she believed, given Yenorin had come from here. That bigger picture view was important. She nodded at the new department head.

"Thank you, Mr. Delacroix. I'll not keep you long." Althea paused and looked around. "I am Althea Scabior, your new Minister for Magic, for those of you who are unaware." And she expected they were all aware, given International Cooperation of all departments was one that needed to keep abreast of political developments.

"In upcoming months there will be many changes implemented at a ministry-wide level, and across Wizarding Britain. Those of you who followed my campaign," Or voted for her, "are no doubt familiar with what some of these initiatives will be. Those that are most relevant to your department include the hosting of an international summit relating to environmental concerns in the Wizarding World, and implementation of legislated equality measures. The equality measures will stretch to include squib support, as well as support for magical individuals who wish to live in the muggle world. There will be memos forthcoming to inform you all when we are to begin work in relation to these issues, and you will hear more detail from Mr Delacroix when the time comes." She nodded at the man.

"Additionally, I want to inform you all that employees of the ministry are able to schedule an appointment with me any time if you have any legitimate concerns or questions. You may also put it in writing if you prefer. Understand that this does not mean anyone should try to go over your department head for level-related issues, but as citizens of the British Wizarding World any concerns you have will be heard." And she expected they were smart enough to know what sort of thing they could come to her with and what sort of thing was in their department head's territory. "Are there any follow-up questions before I take leave of you all?" Because she had to move on to stay on schedule.

Claudette sat and dotted on her notepad as she listened attentively to her co-workers ideas and inputs. Rydens suggestions of putting together an immigrant crisis plan as well as a watch list seemed sensible to her ears, but not everyone agreed. Charles and Erec both objected to the watch list idea but they liked the crisis plan.

Looking up from her notepad, quill hanging over the page, Claudette interjected tentatively "As an immigration officer I know it's part of my job to handle and interrogate illegal immigrants in our country, but some of them can get hostile for lack of better word and at least I would feel more safe to do my job with MLE support present, and with them being aware who we are investigating through a watch list." She was after all still in her 20's and even though she demanded respect it didn't always mean that she got it. Hopefully Charles and Erec would get where she was coming from. She had no input to give on the smuggle items since that was not her jurisdiction and thus she remained silent.

***
When the minister entered Claudette unconsciously sat up a little straighter and dropped her quill on her notepad to not appear disrespectful. That they were hosting an international summit on the environment was BIG news! Althea mentioned more things that were related to her but they were immediately cause of the SUMMMIT.

Remaining silent she shook her head. At least she had no questions for the minister but it was good to know that she had an open office policy.

Ellie listened to everyone voice their thoughts and concerns, not quite sure what she could contribute. All of this was so different from life in American in the fashion world, she wasn't quite sure what to make of it, or what her place or role really was exactly. Yet. She figured it would be safest to stay quiet for now until she got her bearings.

She took sip after sip of her coffee as she waited for these bearings to be found. The new Minister made an appearance too - Ellie found the woman pleasantly matter-of-fact. She seemed to be on top of things. Ellie liked people who were on top of things.

She liked being on top of things too. Soon, she would be - or so she hoped, anyway.

Charles agreeing was a good thing. He was glad to have the man on his team. Everything he was saying sounded good and Erec nodded not needing to really say much more. The minister took the meeting and spoke of a few things and it was now Erec's time to jot some notes down. He had spoken to her about these things, but in the heat of the moment thought of a few things to remind himself about later so he made sure they were placed on paper.


"Thank you minister it seems no one has any further questions. My teams will be ready for when you need us. We are going to be having some training and other things going on so just let me know ahead of time so I don't double book us." Of course he knew she wouldn't do that, but at the moment he was in need of scheduling some of these trainings after what he heard.


His eyes went to Claudette and his brow raised. "Well if you feel that strongly after the training you would have had to become an officer, then maybe we should relook at your qualifications and place you in another part of immigration." He would never want someone in a position they weren't comfortable and if she as an officer couldn't handle her job then she shouldn't possibly be doing it. "I will be having a refresher training for all officers so that you can feel more comfortable and in the cases that we need warrents or we know the person is bad we will ask for help from the MLE."

Shuffling his papers and noticing there were no other comments or concerns he smiled at everyone. "Glad we could have this meet up, but I'm not keeping you any longer. Please feel free to take a snack on our way out. I'll be sending out memo's for some meetings soon. Charles if you don't mind could I see you in my office in about half an hour?" He looked at the others, "Thank you for a great first meeting and thank you minister for your time. "
