"How extravagant." Alana said, in her thick German accent, as she looked at the table of different food. Instead of going for the food, she walked over to where the punch was and picked up one of the sparkling crystal goblets. She filled it up with the deep orange punch and turned around, taking sips from the goblet as she watched more and more people fill in. Maybe she'd meet some people from her department that she'd be working with.

As of today she was on her way to being an AUROR. How freakin' cool was THAT??

Only thing that wasn't cool...was wobbling around in heels. Merlin who's idea was it to make this a 'fancy formal event'? Every few steps was a wobble and she didn't think she'd be getting any better considering heels were usually not a factor in ANY part of her dress. This was hard--and so was wearing an actual dress. Ugh.

Just think about the Auror life, Lex.

By some great miracle she made it over to the buffet table without hurting herself or anyone else for that matter. That's when she spotted two people already there. "Hi!" NEW CO-WORKERS because she had those now! Eeeep! "The name's Alexa...or Lex, doesn't really bothered me. New YATI, I'm technically in charge of making sure no one dies tonight!"...Okay...so maybe not for another three years...but she could dream.

Michelle wasn't an extremely shy person, but she was a little uncomfortable coming to a party, where she knew no one. She did hope, by coming to this party, she will get to know some of her co-workers , so her first day at the ministry was TOO awkward.

She also knew that the newly-elected Minster, Sherman Clark, was here. She probably should introduce herself to him at one point tonight.

Michelle then started to walk down the buffet table, to see what kinds of food and drinks are being offer.


It was one of SImon's favorite nights...the one that marked the return to work and hopefully normalcy in the ministry. Sure he enjoyed the break but sometimes he got a little stircrazy by the end of it despite the enjoyment and company he had during the moments away from his work. Speaking of company, he seemed to have lost his beautiful date somewhere between the front door and his current new location which proved to be the source of this evenings food and drink.

Surveying the spread, he picked up a glass of some sparkling juice beverage absently to have something in his hands. It was then that he let his gaze survey the premises almost naturally slipping back into routine. The task at hand...keeping an eye on things here much like his job called for during the working hours. There were more than a few new faces that the security man was sure to keep an eye on to encourage familiarity in his mind. He might get to now them later on.

One of the trio caught his attention, the mention of YATI guiding him to move towards rhe group of new faces. However it was the comment this young woman...Alexa...said next that caused a slightly raised eyebrow that he was quick to relax to play along. "Yes...quite pivotal she is..." he mused aloud, making his presence known before casually taking a sip of his drink.
