He would have asked her more about her background but, well, he was going to be distracted until he knew who was waiting on the other side of the door. He nodded at Melissa's answer - quite polite of her, really - and stood up from his desk. "Excuse me a moment," he dismissed himself, moving swiftly to the door to see who it was.

"Jax!" he was half-surprised and half-elated to see one of his best friends there. The man had been noticeably absent from the offices lately, but Wes knew where he had been and what he had been up to. So he hadn't been concerned, until now. He was sure his friend had a good reason for coming to his office... as formal as it was of him.

But he did also have someone else already in the office, and she deserved a fair share of Wes' time too. So he frowned and took a moment to decide what to do with Tanner. "I hate to do this to you, mate, but can you wait out here for about," he glanced at his watch, "fifteen more minutes? I have someone else in my office at the moment. It won't take long though." She wasn't in trouble or anything.

"Thanks," Wes didn't really wait for an answer and clapped his buddy on the back. With a crooked smirk, he closed his door again and returned to his seat. Heheheheh he'd just shut the door in the Head Auror's face. He wasn't worried; he found it funny actually, though on second thought maybe he should be more worried about the weird expression on Jax's face....

No, he would see to that later. "Sorry about that," Wes picked up the conversation with Melissa. "So your work record here looks pretty decent, Melissa. You show up on time, you seem to be a team player..." he turned a page in her file, "and you have a solid background working with Muggles and Muggle products, as far as I can tell." She had been an undercover buyer at one of her jobs, if that was correct.

He leaned back in his chair some and studied Potter. "What are your long-term goals, Melissa? What do you want to get out of working in Law Enforcement?" And why had she switched departments, really? He wanted to know.

Melissa waited as her Department Head got up to see who had knocked on the door. She was glad to hear him tell whoever it was that they would have to wait until he was done speaking with her.

'What are my long term goals? Good question.' Melissa thought to herself as she thought out her answer before replying.

"I have always wanted to be more involved in the Law Enforcement part of the Ministry. I wasn't able to do it when I got married and started a family because I didn't want to put my family at risk. But now that all my children are all grown up and able to protect themselves, I believe that I can now try to achieve what I spent all my years training and studying to be."

Melissa hoped that Mr. Ferguson didn't think that she no longer cared about the safety of her family. She still did. That was why she had applied to transfer to the Department of Law Enforcement, two years ago. She wanted to make sure that her family would always be safe from the criminals out there in the world, and the only way to do that was to catch them first before they did any harm.

"I have degrees in both Wizarding and Muggle Law, as well as, a degree in Forensic Psychology. I would like to eventually be an active member of the Law Enforcement and Security Division of this branch." Melissa knew that this promotion, if it was offered, wouldn't be that, but she was willing to wait. Little steps at a time.

"Most people don't know this but outside of the Ministry I help my husband run the Security division at the Matthews Foundation. I help profile the potential criminal elements our investigators might end up facing while they are providing protection services. I also assist in collecting evidence." Melissa paused for a minute to let that piece of information sink in before continuing.

"It was only after that Zom...I mean that situation we had last year where I helped collect evidence and give my input on what I thought would be the possible cause, did I realize that I actually wanted to do that here in the Ministry too. I want to catch the criminals before they get to hurt others...like my family or anyone elses. Prevent the crime before it actually happens if possible." Melissa ended her explanation.

She realized that she had rattled on, but Mr. Ferguson had asked, and since time was precious, she knew that she couldn't afford to beat around the bush.
