Flying tarot card’s was this going to be the night when she was just going to run into former students that she now had to view as adults? How was she going to wrap her head around that change? They could even call her Laurel if they worked in Mysteries with her. It’d be so weird. As if on queue too Laurel spotted Ronan Carter as he came into the food court to mingle. Laurel returned his greeting to her with a nod and a wave before she focused on the juice in her glass. It was going to be a long night.

"Hello, Minister sir. Owen Montezor, Foreign Relations." His perpetual grin in place as he offered his free hand to the man, then turned to the other two. "Hi there." He said to the younger girl (Ursula). To his former Professor (Laurel Vance), his grin widened. "Lovely to see you, maa'm."
Laurel was sipping on her sparkling juice and watching the people around her as an ex student of her’s approached to introduce himself to the Minister and then saw her. Owen had grown own out of his shy and slightly chubby body into a grown man. Over her glass Laurel smiled sweetly. "It’s lovely to see you too Owen! What have you been up to since leaving Hogwarts?" She could admit internally that she had scryed for the boy’s future at least once when he was her student but she hadn’t seen him working for the ministry but nothing was absolute.

At the Minister's words to Laurel, Ursula's eyes widened slightly. "I was a Slytherin at Hogwarts. I graduated two years ago." .[/COLOR] After taking another sip of juice Laurel turned her eyes and attention to Ursula again as she considered the younger woman’s question. "If you don’t feel akward about it then yes you may call me Laurel from now. I will be working in the Mysteries department. And you’ll be in Accidents & Catastrophes?" When would she be comfortable with working around her old students? It was something she’d have to ask her prized crystal ball about later that evening. Text Cut: Charles Quote:

And yes, it WAS quite nice to be back in the building proper and without the need of a construction hat upon his head to protect his melon. [/FONT] Forming??? The minister mean former right? Laurel wondered for a second as her attention went to Mr Hollingberry as he adressed her. Nodding she confirmed his statement. "Yes, I taught Divination and was head of Slytherin when i worked at Hogwarts. I left my positions there some months ago." At then mention of James Rasting, the minister’s grandson it took Laurel a few minutes before she got a picture in her head of the boy in question. Slowly she said "Ah James, he doesn’t enjoy Divination very much does he? I got the impression that he had a very weak connection with his Inner Eye." Sad, you need that to excel in the subject. It wasn’t like history that you could just learn facts to show your apptitude. Text Cut: Dylan Quote:

Former professors, even, as she counted at least two who fit that description. One of which she’d actually expected, once she’d really looked at the owl that had informed her of her hiring and realized the name that had been inscribed at the end. Conversely, she hardly expected to be recognized, heading over toward the drink table and picking up a glass of rosé. Just in case, she wasn’t risking a stain on her dress. It was one thing to drink juice, it was another to just drink it without something to eat together with it. When there was a lull in the conversation Laurel quietly excused herself from the grup that was forming around Mr Hollingberry to head over towards the snacks where she found herself stopping next to another former student, it was that kind of night. Smiling at the blond beside her Laurel said as she picked up an olive or two. "My, my hello Dylan! How are things? I didn’t expect to see you here working for the ministry, didn’t you have other plans?" Text Cut: Val Quote:

Rather than follow the trend, he took a drink and settled by the sides. /COLOR] Munching on her snack olives, Laurel let her eyes drift over the other food available and it was then that she spotted Val, standing off to the side. Beckoning him to come over she greeted with a smile. "Good evening Val, do you like these kind of mingling events?" It seemed like an easy and simple way to get the conversation started.

Jacob had after much debating with himself in front of his wardrobe picked out a pair of leather like black jeans, a white shirt and a brown leather jacket on top to wear to the night’s event. Why he had to go mingle in the food court with hundred’s of other employees. Most of whom which were completley foreign to him, but attending was obligatory. Entering the food court Jacob picked up a sandwich and a glass of coke before he spotted his department head. Approaching her he greeted, opting for a happy tone of voice. "Good evening Mrs Culloden, can we start working from out of the offices again tomorrow?" As in was the ministry fixed up?
