This was only her second time at a Ministry event, but she could tell the food was always gonna be awesome. Thank Merlin, because that would definitely put a damper on this whole event if the food was terrible.

But what to choose first? Always such a hard decision. Hm...

Speaking of Penelope, wasn't that her right there? Talk about a coincidence or just a stroke of good luck...or a natural turn of events. This was, afterall, the buffet table. What sort of world would they be living in if Penelope suddenly turned down food? It just wouldn't happen.

"Hey Penelope! We were JUST talking about you." With a pointing motion between her and Ember so her friend wouldn't be confused as to the 'we' she was talking about.

SPOILER!!: Alana

At the mention of it seeming to be only MLE, Lex actually glanced around the buffet table. It...was actually true. For the most part, the people she was surrounded by WERE from MLE. It was grand for her because she was already meeting so many of the people she would be working with but she supposed it'd be odd for an Unspeakable. "Don't reckon you'll see many of them just like that..." Lex mused, sipping at her punch. "I mean, if they're all as secretive as you're making them out to seem...they might be having their own private Orientation." And with that there came another, slightly amusing and definitely fascinating idea. "What if you came to the wrong Orientation because communication is all hush hush?"

See? This was exactly why Lex thought the way she did. Everything was top secret and you couldn't talk about it. How was a girl meant to know then?? "Well...however that whole system works I'm sure it'll be epic. My friend's grandfather--Mr. Shiny New Minister up there--used to be an Unspeakable. He showed us a bell jar. Your Department has all the cool stuff." There was even a rumour about a Death Chamber...but that probably wasn't real...

SPOILER!!: Simon

Ugg...maybe he shouldn't have made that comment. Simon debated the right way to handle and explain the matter. "There had just been an illness associated with some things a few years back. But all safe now." They wouldn't be as lax about things getting in as they had apparently been before if he could help it.

"Assist with wand weighing and scans if needed, run internal investigations." That sort of thing.

Simon kept a neutral look the first time Sabel had looked to him. He could fill his friend in on his opinion of the new YATI later for now he was keeping his part in that play going along well enough. Smirk or no smirk of amusement, he was lucky when the other man decided to speak and explain how they knew each other that Simon hadn't been drinking lest he spit the contents out all over the place. As it was, Alexa nearly choke beside him in reaction to the news.

Sabel...a convict.

That introduction was bad enough. But himself...the arresting and parole officer of Sabel for the night. That cut the cake deeper. It seemed it was tease the underlings time for the orientation and Simon was in on the whole gag. "Yep," he agreed as Sabel clamped his shoulder. "Out for decent behavior and I figured if he behaved here, it might encourage him to stay good and have more evenings like tonight." And no...the eyebrow raised was another thing for another time as the security man wasn't even sure what it was for at this point.

"The only ones who think us rude are the one's who listen to the yarn the Prophet weaves." You know, the messes the likes of Jorge and his little underling like to play. But that was enough mention of them for one night, Simon wanted to keep a good mood going else he was going to go off sulking with his girlfriend.

Was he glad for the momentary change of subject as Sophie moved closer to the group. "Hey," he returned, momentarily taken by surprise by the hug before returning it just before she pulled back away. "Not officially...no. But constant vigilence nevertheless." So the phrase predominately applied to aurors and hit wizards...he was keeping it in security.

Between spiked drinks that made you sick and internal investigations, Lex was in awe again. All that happened and does happen and probably WOULD happen. It...it was just so beautiful. The rest of her life was already looking promising. Now all she needed was for someone to do something that required Auror intervention.

"You wouldn't mind me helping with some of that, right? I mean it's a training program and I'll need to know some of that stuff at some point anyway--I won't be in the way or anything and I'm a quick learner." So like...after a while he could even LEAVE some of the work to her and expect it done. Yup. Working towards that.

But hang on, confirmation of the Auror Patrole Officer thing? The guy being a convict for real? Lex was grinning. "You should definitely allow him to places like this more often. It'll do him some good--it'll do me some good too, for you know experience and all that."....Sure, she'd go with that.

"He's not as tame as he looks is he?" That would be a little disappointing but she could work with that. Still, had to learn from the people who were there and already did it.

SPOILER!!: Vickers

Despite the look of confusion that could now be found on his face, Lex remained calm. Vickers was hardly the scatter brained type, it would come back...eventually. So she waited and waited until..ah...there we go, it was coming back to him now. "A trip? Where we going? When you say creatures you mean like Chimaeras?" She had yet to meet one in real life even with all the crazy that was Hogwarts, so it would have been nice.

"I don't really mind where we go to be honest, I've been travelling from the moment I left that place." Lots of places with her friends before they started their jobs or went off to Uni. Cassia and Aidan were currently the only ones still free. Huh, funny how she never really realized that she no longer classified as free...now she had to show up to work everyday and couldn't just fly the country....that.....sucked. BUT HOW COOL WAS AUROR LIFE??? "And how've you been. I've heard things about you." Which she vaguely remembered now but that didn't make her unhear it.

SPOILER!!: Vivi

That was a lot of food to hold on one plate and it only served to remind Lex that she hadn't tried anything yet. No way was she leaving without sampling at least a little of everything so that purse stuffing was starting to sound better by the minute. The cuddles were greatly appreciated and returned (it'd been a LONG time since this happened). "It still blows my mind that I'm not at Hogwarts anymore and work on YOUR team now--I mean you'll be out on field work a lot and I'll be stuck fetching coffee but...it's sorta the same." Kinda...okay she was ready to be over the training now, thanks.

But wait. Hold up. Stop right there. Lex pulled away from Vivi a little to give her a puzzled look before looking between Simon and Sabel. "He's...he...no convict?" That was possibly the most disappointing thing she'd heard all night. "Not even a petty criminal? Nothing?" Well consider her bubble popped. Slowly she began piling food into what she assumed was a magically extended purse but she was still stuck on the lie. "To think I almost looked up to him."

SPOILER!!: Sabel

This girl....was. Wait, why was she moving closer? And what was with that.......A pretty face? Sabel felt his face heat at the same time his disbelief spiked. Dangerous, yes. At least she got it half right? But what was this now? Curses too? She was working on them? Just....what?

Sabel wanted to facepalm, but he was too focused on trying not to drop his drink in what was a mixture of shock and a great deal of amusement. Honestly, he didn't know whether to shake the girl or laugh at her. She was excited about meeting a convict? Most Aurors or Auror's-to-be wanted to deck a criminal, or give them a hard run-down.

This, was a first. And a problem. A big problem.

And it seemed that she wasn't the only one who believed his story. The other woman in their small circle seemed convinced, but more appropriately reserved. What department was she in again?

As he was trying to untie his tongue to figure out how to best answer the slew of questions so as to hopefully make the girl somewhat afraid of the convict titled, Simon stepped in. Gracefully and without hesitation or pause. Smooth, Bennett. Very smooth. Almost like he had rehearsed this before. Now, could Sabel pull off his end of being the creepy villain?

He wasn't sure. Even the thought of saying some of the things that came to mind made his skin crawl. And he couldn't talk mean, let alone act mean. Not to someone he had no ill will towards. And really, his face just didn't contort into such expressions. From the corner of his eye, he saw Legend and Genevieve approaching. This could either end up in a lot of laughs, or a lot of scoldings. One thing was for sure. Emily would kill them. One-hundred percent kill them if she ever found out.

Clearing his throat, Sabel turned back towards Alexa with his best knowing smile, patting Simon on the shoulder. "Might. This guy's always got high hopes for me. Sadly, I disappoint. Most of the time. Azkaban knows me well." He let out a whistle and shake of his head to accent the point.

As for the rest of her questions, no. Just no. He couldn't even joke about that stuff. Maybe she would be satisfied with a non-answer, though it wasn't particularly terrifying enough to be a good learning lesson.

SPOILER!!: Alexa (again) and Genevieve

And then there was Genevieve. In part, he was disappointed that the charade ended so early, but on the other hand, he was grateful to her. He hadn't known what he had bitten off when he had tried to pull the wool over the girl's eyes. And really, he hadn't intended it to work, let alone go so far as Alexa showing him off as her new-found-ex-convict.

And it was no wonder she had blown his cover. It seemed that the two were quite close, what with the cuddles, 'baby lion' and talk of purse stuffing. That was close friend talk for sure. On top of that tidbit of information, Alexa was a Gryffindor. That, explained a lot.

Holding up his hands Sabel made a playful face at Genevieve. Totes adults, here, just having a bit of fun. "Alright, alright. You got me."

Lowering one hand, he picked up Alexa's cupcake to hand back to her with a friendly smile. "Sabel Dakest, honestly. But Genevieve is right, Auror. Not ex-convict." She wouldn't cram the icing topped desert in his face in horrible disappointment, right? "Just thought I'd see what type of reaction I could get."

And it wasn't a good one. Not in his books. Genevieve got a look for that. Was she worried for her baby lion, because he sure was.

So now she was left just kinda....just kinda staring at him. He'd gotten her excited about being an ex-convict...spoke about Azakaban....hinted sorta at curses then turned out to be a fake.

Lex felt absolutely scandalized.

Why would you ever even do something like that? It was just plain mean. "Next to my former Charms and CoMC Professors, you Sir, have got to be one of the biggest disappointments of my young life and I feel you should know that because now I'm crushed and I'm gonna have to think long and hard about looking up to you--I ogled you and you're not even real." So excuse her for feeling a bit put out by the whole thing.

Naturally she would take her cupcake back and no she wouldn't shove it in his face (because sugar was sacred and not to be wasted) but she bit into it while looking at him with a fixed gaze. What was one to make of this?

There was a long pause and a sip of the punch he'd gotten her.

"I've decided you're still epic by virtue of being an Auror," and kids back at Hogwarts pulled stuff on the newbs all the time so she should have seen it coming, "but you're a disappointing Auror and I may never look at you the same again." Give it a month. "In fact you owe me a criminal now. I dunno where you'll get one with a face like yours but it's a big pond beyond these walls." JUST SAYING.

It seemed however that he had been in the wrong area...the buffet table was where the party was at..at least the MLE. He didn't get the memo.

And look his own personal tormentor was there...great. He supposed he'd be dangling by his ankles again soon if the man got bored enough.

He grunted a 'hi' of sorts and surveyed the table.

From the corner of her eyes she caught someone else approach the table. Alana was right, this WAS the MLE section. It reminded her of back when she was a Gryffindor and food was a thing for the whole house. If food was an Auror thing then she was even more affirmed in the fact that she had chosen the right profession.

Small world it was too. "Welcome to the party, it's a bit disappointing now that we've lost what could have been a brilliant criminal mastermind but I'm sure we'll figure something out."

SPOILER!!: Sophie

No way..."Zombies?" Somehow she thought that sort of thing only happened in the Castle all the way over in Scotland but this was brilliant, fantastic, they had ZOMBIES. It wouldn't be that great if she was one of the victims but you know, working the other side of the case, it'd have been epic being one of those expected to keep everyone in check while they worked to fix the problem. "How long have you been working here then?" Since she hadn't been there and all.

Ah and someone else wanting to know what it stood for. "Oh, um, I think it's like Young Auror Training Initiative...or something like that but I didn't read the entire acceptance letter so I can't be too sure." Maybe she shouldn't have said that. Last time she did, the woman looked concerned. No idea why.

Her eyes widened. "Crime scenes?" Was it bad she was getting excited again? "We get to show up on the scene of accidents too?" She'd have never thought but Lex wasn't complaining. The more opportunities to get out in the field the better!

Last time she did, the woman looked concerned. No idea why. Her eyes widened. "Crime scenes?" Was it bad she was getting excited again? "We get to show up on the scene of accidents too?" She'd have never thought but Lex wasn't complaining. The more opportunities to get out in the field the better! __________________ Imma say all the words inside my head____________________________________ ______________________________I'm fired up and tired of the way that things are said.
