And, of course, he said nothing of the stuttering.
Why, how nice of the new Minister to shake his han-- ohh, Sherman. Derek remembered him. He knew the tranquilising Potion he had taken wasn't that strong. See, he could even remember people's na- "Thanks." Derek said, because surely there was something to say thanks for. Mr Minister for Magic had just said it so why not say it too?

New year! "Yes, sure. The um, new year will be good. Good for you, sir." The lab technician patted the old man's hand with his free hand and nodded his head as if saying something really serious. Derek was being dead serious at the moment. Their lives depended on how well this man conducted the Magical World, this was serious busin--

Oh, who was that?

No? Well okay she wAS HERE ANYWAYS OKAY? Okay.

Breaaaaaaaathing exercises had been happening which explained why the woman had arrived a little later than intended. OOPS. The usual ball of jumpy, nervous energy that was the thirty one year old flattened out her dress and readjusted the many rings that adorned her fingers before entering the ballroom. A BALLROOM! Her first orientation and technically, first day on the job and it was held in a BALLROOM! The Ministry sure did know how to go all out.

Oh was that her table up there? GOODY. Delphine wiggled through the crowd, giving some people accidental hip!bumps along the way -- what a way to introduce yourself, eh? -- until she arrived right at the Head Table. A crowded Head Table, too. Someone was POPULAR over here. "HEEEEELLO! Hi!" Everybody could hear and see her yes? GOOD. That was the desired protocol. "Delphine Cavanagh, here! New Senior Undersecretary." Yes yes, it was a BIG job and one that worked directly with the new Minister of Magic and the woman couldn't be happier.

Speaking of, she plopped herself down on a seat right near the Minister's himself. PLOP! HELLO, MINISTER.
Derek's head turned towards the newcomer he had... never seen before. Boy, she was loud and made the former Gryffindor blink several times, almost as if he was blinded by her loud voice. That was possible.

"Hello." He said randomly, looking at her and oh look, it was his Department Head and Emmalee over there! Look....!

He was saying Derek's name too. So the man went over to the both of them and stood there as if waiting to be told something. Did they call? He heard his name.

He had heard his boss saying things about mutants. Ugly things, but Derek hoped they were well. Could he see them soon? He wondered if the cure they brewed had worke--

Emmalee wouldn't keep his boss? What? Derek stared at her in utter confusion and blinked some more. He heard the word 'experiments' and he liked experiments, could he join? He didn't want to be kept by her either, though.
