Alexa felt really light on her feet at the moment...which might have had something to do with the fact she threw her heels off the moment she peered inside and realized there was more of an obstacle course setting than a fancy schmancy party get up. Luckily the dress she'd been forced into was casual enough because NO WAY was she staying here the whole time when there was fun to be had inside.

Not that this was unusual anyways. Any woman at her height is bound to get some stares.
Honoria took a deep breath, and her usual smile crossed her face as she waited patiently for her turn.

Speaking of inside, someone else trying to get there. While she waited on one woman to fork over her wand, Lex turned to this other towering mass--best not said aloud. "Welcome to the Ministry where you'll have a great time depending on the Department you work in. The name's Alexa, 2nd Year YATI and I'll be needing your wand for a minute." As she explained, she levitated a package over, decidedly unwilling to keep doing this back and forth walking.

A name would be nice too.

Linda's trusty camera bag was around her shoulder and had been bewitched so that her camera, wand, notebook and some other items were able to fit in there. She waited patiently in line until it was time for her to be called up.

And yet another showed up after she'd just gotten through with one. Busy afternoon this was going to be but that didn't bother her. Only thing was, she really hoped Rainey stopped by to check up on them because THEN he could see how hard at work she was. Lots of people had this thing against sucking up to the boss. Alexa....was not one of them. Anything it took to get to Head Auror status, anything. Even standing here greeting a bunch of people she'd probably never talk to again while weighing wands.

No big deal.

"Hello there! First time as well?" Obviously. Very obvious. Yes. Lex levitated another package from the pile, a welcoming grin in place (who said she couldn't make a good host when she bothered to try?). "This is yours. It's an orientation package to get you all set up. You'll find your badge inside." Explanations. Yup. "May I have your wand please?"

You went shopping to get it without me?'' It was just his little attempt at a joke. He wasn't too good with those.

And there was Jory. Having her hands technically full, she would let Simon do his weighing for him, something she figured he would have preferred anyway. By the end of this all she would be an expert at this nifty little machine but that might do little to sway him. "Hey Jory, see you got passed over for guard duty." She'd call him lucky but then, what else was she going to do here? Walk around socializing?

She could but Lex liked doing her job an awful lot more.

Surely they thought it was as lame as she did.

Lookit that, just when she'd been starting to wonder if her other YATI team mates hadn't been given the memo, there was Sky. Someone thought having a grand look inside was better than being on time for duty. Lovely, wasn't it?

Her question though, had Lex turning and craning her neck to get a better look inside. Took her a moment of open staring before she shook her head. "Nah, it'd take more than an afternoon and a few stunts to get them to our level, 'specially the stiff necks over on Levels 1, 5 and 6." Took stamina and endurance. Not exactly something you get from a regular filing job. Should make for an interesting afternoon though, watching some of them making attempts.

"Grab a package and put on a smile. Reckon if we get these done soon enough we can have a go at them too." Challenging a bunch of stiff necks didn't prove much but merlin was it entertaining.

It was like the first day of school all over again, but no worries her nerves were as calm as her cat. Well sometimes. "Hello, I be Peggy." Mhm, yeah she waved as she passed people by. Yes Peggy, not Margaret. Well yes her name was technically Margaret but she opted for Peggy. Not Piggy, PEGGY. Talk about awkward.

Lex watched that one get herself weighed and through to the rest of the orientation. The young woman was overly curious about what it was actually like inside but being stationed at this desk, she supposed she just wouldn't know until she got through with everyone else. That decided, she could spend no more time staring at the new woman, she had a job to do.

It almost seemed like some muggle steampunk sort of creation and its look intrigued her. She was a bit loathe to present her wand to be checked by the contraption. She didn't have anything to hide, but her wand was an heirloom and she was a little protective of it.

Oh man, why did this line feel like it was going on forever. Just how many new employees did they get this go around? Lex didn't pegged this place for having a high turn over rate. Then again, how would she know? All that administrative junk was best left to the old hats on Level 1. It was really nothing for her to be concerned with. Now safety, that was her priority.

The young woman was leaning against the table, elbow to it's surface palm cupping her face as she watched yet another new person approach the security check point. Plus side, she'd get to fire up the machine again so there was something to look forward to.

Lex straightened, even bothered with a smile as she levitated yet another package over. "Afternoon, welcome to the Ministry of Magic." She slid the orientation package across to her. "Starter stuff's in there, your badge too. What Department'd you get?" Were there any new YATI at all?

They were, after all, former Hogwartians. He wasn’t in the mood to interact at the moment, so he’d just let them notice him as he goes through the checkpoint.

Well, that is if they can even figure out who he is. Mordred calmly stood behind the woman in front of him and waited for his turn.

It was a small wonder the fact the packages didn't seem to be running out with how many she'd been passing out since she checked in to the desk. Whoever was in charge of organizing must have done there extra research. Made her think it could have been largely all the Human Resource offices pooling together. Sounded tedious, not at all like something she'd enjoy doing.

Not that this was much better. After the first couple, this job had lost its appeal and quite frankly it wasn't what you'd station an Auror to do later either so it wasn't something that needed getting used to.

"You look awful familiar." Lex commented as the latest addition made his way over to the desk. "Feel like I've seen you before." Hogwarts maybe, that's where she'd met most of the people currently in her life. "I'll be needing your wand please."

Honestly, he wouldn't put it past that hand-breaker-good-for-nothing-cocky-chomping-cabbage of a Law Enforcement department head to be involved in that lot.

Lazily removing his wand from his jeans' pocket, he twirled it idly in his fingers while he waited for his turn to be up and casually nodding his head to those nearby with a halfhearted 'hello' for a greeting. "Ah, there she is. My glorified babysitter," he mused while winking at the young woman.[/COLOR]

And in all the mind numbing boredom that the task had quickly become, Lex heard THAT. HIM. HIS VOICE. Immediately, her eyes shot up from the spot they'd been over-examining on the desk while she waited for someone else to step forward and over to a certain Department Head from Level 3.

The grin appeared in seconds. Sure the whole 'glorified babysitter' thing bothered her at first but then she got to thinking it was a special title and he was making room for her in his department and weekly schedule. Might have been wishful thinking but that wink said otherwise. Ahem. "Always at your service, Sir." Lex said, nicking his wand and turning to the machine.

"You just let me know if you need me for anything this afternoon--anything at all even if it means me having to abandon my post for a little." Subtle hints that she no longer wanted to be working behind this desk. Someone save her. There was a reason she didn't do a regular desk job or whine about YATIs not having desks. Only problem was Rainey not appreciating her absence.........gosh.

He continued forward to have his wand weighed and suddenly remembered the name of the other new employee at the department, a "Olly Clarke," he recalled aloud. And remembering too the name of the department head, he thought aloud once again, "Emmalee Quinn." Peri looked around and hoped to meet someone from his department. He hoped to meet anyone really. A first day with a new friend would be great.

Alexa leaned against the desk, watching this new guy approach. He looked all wrapped up in whatever thoughts he'd been having. So much so that at first she thought he was talking to himself as he approached but then it was a name and they were meant to be giving those...yeah?

Olly Clarke. Right, Lex straightened, about to nod in acknowledgement of the name when she heard him call another name, this one more feminine.

The former Gryffindor went right back to leaning against the desk, fixing him with a curious look. "Well which one is it? Are you Olly Clarke or Emmalee Quinn?" He couldn't be both....the machine probably didn't register more than one per wand. "S'none of my business but you don't look like an Emmalee Quinn." No hard feelings, it was simply the truth.
