Things in the Department of Mysteries were, for lack of a better word, efficient.

Airey was just finishing up some paperwork on some anomalies and strange activity in the Space Chamber when the knock to his door came. Ah, a brave soul had managed to maneuver the Entry Chamber, had they? Admittedly eager to see just who his first visitor to his office was as a Department Head, Airey opted to open the door himself rather than by magic and rose from his seat.

And of all the faces to see, that of Zander Adair had certainly not been the one he had been expecting. But the man grinned nonetheless. "Good to see you again, Mr. Adair," he greeted.

"Hi Professor Flamsteed," were the first words of genius that exited Zander's mouth. Brilliant, this boy. Absolutely, 17 million %, 24-karat brilliant.

While the young ~~boy?~~ man?? floundered for words to say, he took a moment to peek over the Department Head's narrow shoulder. "Nice office," and by that he really meant, "Congratulations on on the new position?" Because apparently that is why Airey Flamsteed now had an office now. It was hard enough navigating the foreign department on it's own (especially while one was being guided entirely by autopilot) but trying to find the man's OFFICE. Well, thank Merlin there were other people around to help him piece that one together.

Though of course finding out that his former Professor was now a big-shot in the ministry was very exciting and congratulating him was clearly a necessity... Zander Adair had other things on his mind. Was it appropriate to fling all of his baggage over top the man's new desk and unpack it all here before the Airey even had the chance to properly make a home of this space? -- The Afterthoughts.

Thinking before acting. What a concept.

You can take the boy out of Gryffindor, but you can't take the Gryffindor out of the boy. Clearly.

"You got big plans for this place, Professor?" Not a conversation Zander could truly wrap his mind around right now, considering. But it felt like a more appropriate alternative.
