I mean I wouldn't want to win it if it didn't handle right."

He extended his hand. "Minister Alexander Greingoth, and you are--?"
Sure, he was the Minister, but it was sort of outrageous to think he's know EVERYBODY in the Ministry of Magic.
...and then Alexander heard that unmistakable voice that could only belong to one person--his childhood best friend. Well, besides Hecate, that is. Nobody could really ever equal out to her. Ian Amoroso. He'd have to say after all these years, he guessed the old man was still his best friend. If a Slytherin ever actually had a best friend.
"Amoroso," he said, pretending to quietly scold the man. "Try to take it down a notch or two, eh? I hear the Minister of Magic of Great Britain is here today..." He laughed but shook his head at the same time. "Noooo. Man, we can't just do that." He looked around the room then leaned in. "It'd be something, though, wouldn't it? I dare you to submit a raffle ticket."
Sparkly heels in hand, barefooted Katherine slipped out of the congested Meet and Greet area to check out the other attractions. Her first stop happened to be some sort of a freebies station. As she approached the table, Katherine made a 'whoop' sound in delight. COUPONS! And 10% off at Madam Malkins? Awesome. But once her gaze dropped to the 'Ministry robes only' disclaimer, her excitement slightly faded. Oh well...she snagged it anyway. She stuffed it in her clutch and as she turned around to leave, her blue eyes widened. It was the Minister of Magic talking to the Senior Under-secretary. In simple words, these gentlemen were her bosses.
Thrilled beyond words, the twenty-three-year-old marched towards the duo. "
Alexander Greingoth!" Katherine blurted out without any forethought. And then it struck her. "
Mr. Greingoth, Sir." Nope, not good enough. This time, she actually planned out her words mentally. "
I mean, Minister of Magic, Sir." Whaaat? She should probably hightail it out of there as the embarrassment would be too difficult to bear once the vivacity died out. "
And you, Sir Ian Amoroso." As if the girl's prior display of foolishness wasn't enough, Katherine plucked the hem of her dress and did a curtsey. "
Someone stop me!" Cheeks flushed pink, a small, dubious smile passed her lips. Will she get fired over this? It'd be unfair.
