"I'm Victoria Maroon, Magical Sports and Games public relations." Should she have given all of that. The man probably wouldn't have cared either way, but whatever it was out of her mouth now no need to dwell on it. With another small smile she decided to go quiet in case the man wanted to start. Yes she had every plan to sit in this dirty chair and blend into the background if she were at all lucky. It's all the thirty four year old wanted.
Oliver was getting used to all these people coming in with grumpy looks on their faces but he really hated to see a woman looking so unhappy. He was just about to ask her if everything was okay when she stepped closer to him.
Now that was better.
"Pleasure to meet you Victoria." And it really was.
"Oliver Jenkins, Event Concealment Advisor for Accidents and Catastrophes." That was a bloody mouthful but sounded semi impressive. He held out his hand to her.

... Where was anyone else she actually knew??!
Not huzzah.
She got a wink, because the woman deserved a wink. Merlin, he needed to make the rounds of the Ministry more often. There was all these nice
women people about.

We gotta catch up some time." He scratched the back of his neck and shot a glance toward January before looking back at Oliver. "What about you? You some big-shot Muggle expert now?"
Grinnnnn.
Oh right, they had to settle down because he WAS teaching this. "If you need a volunteer for anything," he stage-whispered to Oliver, "just use me, okay? You know? I'll make you look good." William smiled and nodded and winked confidently. Not gonna lie, he was an expert at pretending to know nothing about Muggles.... because he did know nothing about Muggles.
"We definitely do."How long had it been since they'd hung out together and talked nonsense? He missed that, but he knew that his friend had been distracted by Alysson and Oliver could not blame him for that. He rolled his eyes playfully at his friend and the question he asked.
"Hardly." He grinned.
"But I probably do know more than most since I've worked with them for years." If you could call surfing, working.
Hahahaha. His friend was so funny.
"Definitely don't need you to make me look good bro." He could do that all by himself.
"You're first in line." Giving him a wink and nod back.

"I'm certain it won't be an issue," she said with a polite smile before moving on and away from the man, not worried about anything else until they actually started. She was a witch after all and her shoes were charmed for comfort, of course. She could do whatever Muggle activities they had in store and look fantastic doing them.
Yep. One in every crowd.
Oliver inhaled through his nose very deeply before exhaling slowly out of his mouth. It probably wouldn't look good if he took his wand and just transfigured her clothing which is something he really wanted to do.
"Right. Well don't come complaining to me later." Quote:

"Oliver will be just fine." He said as he extended his hand towards the former student.
"Not a Professor anymore." Wasn't really much of one to begin with to be honest.
"I'm doing well Joćo. How about you?" Quote:

She may have been smirking. A little. Maybe a lot.
"And so are you," she replied simply with a nod. Was it bad that she was enjoying this?
Oh man. She was going to give him a hard time, Oliver could tell. Of course he only had himself to blame. He hadn't treated her very well at all. It really wouldn't kill him to call the ladies back.
"Um...thanks." Yep still awkward.
"Look I'm sorry about...I mean...maybe we should..."
What Oliver, what?
Leave the poor woman alone, man.
Right. Probably best to just move on from this awkward situation and get this thing rolling. He moved towards the centre of the room so that he could address everyone in the room since they were scattered all over the place.
"Okay everyone, can I have your attention please?" He shot a look at high heel lady because he just had the feeling she was going to be difficult.
"In the light of recent events it was decided that we all need some training on muggle evasion, concealment and disillusionment." Pause.
"So who here knows the different ways to evade muggles?"
