Shaking his leg and still tapping his fingers on his knees, he kept staring at the floor when suddenly he heard a voice. A familiar one, actually. The person was welcoming him. He saw a hand being held out towards him and looked at it before looking up at-

'You'. Why, that was a nice way to be greeted. Smooth. He raised his eyebrows and leaned back on his seat, looking confused and surprised. The Quidditch lady! He quickly gazed from Ashley's face to her hand about three times. She looked surprised to see him. That made him wonder whether she was still expecting him to shake her hand or not...

Then she asked if he worked there. He frowned. Why would he be there if he didn't? The Ministry was no playground or central park. "I am here and yes, I work here too." That felt weird. He worked in the Ministry now. In the Ministry! That was... quite cool. Since she had come out of the offices, he concluded she also worked there. "What do you do here, exactly?" Nothing Quidditch related, he was sure.

Ashley was actually happy to see the surprise on her own face reflected on Derek's. It meant that he hadn't expected to see her again either. And now she was standing awkwardly with her hand extended towards him and he very clearly wasn't going to take it. And the way his eyes kept traveling from her hand to her face was actually starting to make her feel a bit uncomfortable. Rather than let the awkwardness continue, the blonde let her arm drop to her side limply before meeting his gaze again.

Ashley nodded, slowly registering the information. He worked here. Like not just here in the ministry, here in this department. What were the odds? At his question, a small smile crept on to her face, having really started to enjoy her job. "I'm a Potion Identification Analyst. Just been here a little over a year now. And you, what will you be doing here?" Surely something non related to what Ashley was doing, yes?
